Background: Continuous anticoagulation based on the CHA2DS2-VASc score is recommended to prevent embolism caused by atrial fibrillation (AF), but it does not consider AF episodes. The Apple Watch's continuous heart rhythm monitoring and fast-acting direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) could enable precise, episode-tailored anticoagulation, reducing bleeding risks while preventing stroke. This study evaluates Apple Watch-guided personalized anticoagulation therapy, adjusting DOAC usage based on real-time AF detection.

With rising concerns about antibiotic resistance and its consequences on public health, the identification of safe and effective alternatives to antibiotics in the poultry industry has become increasingly critical. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of supplementing drinking water with apple vinegar and essential oils, compared to an antibiotic growth promoter, on the growth performance, serum lipid profile, antioxidant status, intestinal morphology, and gastrointestinal microflora population of broiler chickens. A total of 240 one-day-old male broiler chickens were randomly assigned to four treatments, each consisting of six replicate pens with ten birds per pen.

Background: Traumatic injury leads to gut dysbiosis with changes in microbiome diversity and conversion toward a "pathobiome" signature characterized by a selective overabundance of pathogenic bacteria. The use of non-selective beta antagonism in trauma patients has been established as a useful adjunct to reduce systemic inflammation. We sought to investigate whether beta-adrenergic blockade following trauma would prevent the conversion of microbiome to a "pathobiome" phenotype.

This study investigates the properties of egg-free mayonnaise prepared using chia seed protein hydrolysate (CSPH) and pectin extracted from apple pomace (PA) as alternatives to egg, comparing it to traditional egg-based mayonnaise. Chia seed protein was hydrolyzed using Protamex and Bromelain enzymes, while apple pectin was extracted through acid hydrolysis at 90 °C. Four mayonnaise treatments were prepared: T1 (control: 6 % egg), T2 (4 % egg + 1 % CSPH + 1 % PA), T3 (2 % egg + 2 % CSPH + 2 % PA), and T4 (0 % egg + 3 % CSPH + 3 % PA).
