The effects of vaccination on avian blood parameters are poorly understood. The present study was designed to evaluate whether different strains (Ulster 2C, B1, live LaSota and inactivated LaSota) of Newcastle disease vaccines had an effect on the haematological profile of female turkeys. Seventy-five female turkeys were allocated to treatment groups according to vaccination strain. All the birds, except those in the control group, were vaccinated at 32 weeks of age and revaccinated at 40 and 48 weeks of age. Blood samples were obtained for haematological analyses and serum samples for the haemagglutination inhibition test. Haemoglobin concentration was significantly lower (p < 0.05) in vaccinated female turkeys than in the control birds 28 days after vaccination. Monocytes were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in 44-week-old female turkeys vaccinated with inactivated LaSota strain compared with the other groups. Turkeys vaccinated with the B1 strain showed significantly higher (p < 0.05) total white blood cell counts compared with the other groups vaccinated with various commercial strains of the Newcastle disease virus. In conclusion, female turkeys showed significant differences in haemoglobin concentrations, monocytes and white blood cell counts when vaccinated against Newcastle disease.

Introduction: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disease that negatively affects the quality of life, and its pathophysiology is multifactorial.
Aim: Our study aims to investigate the relationship between histological and topographic characteristics of () gastritis and the symptoms, presence, and severity of oesophagitis in patients with reflux symptoms.
Material And Methods: The symptoms, demographic data, and physical examination results of the patients admitted with gastrointestinal complaints were recorded and oesophagogastroduodenoscopies were performed.

Objectives: Respiratory tract infections are commonly seen and compose a great burden on health care. The causing pathogens might be either bacteria or viruses. Because treatment is different for each, prompt diagnosis and early treatment are crucial, especially in immunocompromised patients like solid-organ transplant recipients who often present with obscure findings.

Objectives: Adherence of patients to their immunosuppressive treatment protocol after liver transplant is critical for the health and longevity of the transplanted liver. This study aimed to evaluate and determine the factors affecting the adherence of patients to immunosuppressive therapy after liver transplant.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study with patients who had undergone liver transplant in a university hospital between June 2021 and June 2022.
Background: Lung cancer continues to be the primary cause of cancer-related deaths globally, with the majority of cases identified at advanced stages. Genetic alterations, including mutations and gene fusions, are central to its molecular pathogenesis. The discovery of therapeutically targetable gene fusions, such as ALK, RET, ROS1, and NTRK1, has significantly advanced lung cancer management.

This study aimed to determine the efficacy of red pine and larch pine needles powder at different doses on productive performance, egg quality, hatching parameters, total fatty acid and cholesterol levels of laying quails. A total of 126 (84 ♀ and 42 ♂) 20-week-old laying quail were randomly distributed into seven experimental diets with three replicates of six (four female and two male) birds per cage. The groups were fed a basal diet (CON group), a basal diet with red pine needle powder (RPNP group) (1.
