Newcastle disease, which is a highly contagious and fatal disease caused by the Newcastle disease virus (NDV), has harmed the poultry industry for decades. The administration of effective vaccines can control most outbreaks and epidemics of Newcastle disease in the world. However, vaccination failures of live attenuated vaccines becasue of storage and transportation problems have been reported. Hence, thermostable live vaccine strains, such as V4 and I-2 strains, are being used and welcomed in tropical regions such as Africa and Southeast Asia. In this study, a thermostable, attenuated vaccine candidate strain NDV/rHR09 was generated using the genotype VIII heat-resistant virulent NDV strain HR09 by the reverse genetics system. The results of the determination of the mean death time and intracerebral pathogenicity index indicated that NDV/rHR09 is lentogenic even after 15 serial passages in embryonated chicken eggs. The thermostability assessment showed that the NDV/rHR09 strain exhibited hemagglutination activity and infectivity when exposed to 56°C for 60 min. Compared with the commercially available La Sota and V4 vaccines, the NDV/rHR09 induced higher antibody titers in specific pathogen-free chickens. In addition, NDV/rHR09 conferred complete protection against virulent genotype VII NDV challenge and virus shedding from vaccinated chickens. These results suggest that NDV/rHR09 is a promising thermostable vaccine candidate strain.

This study aimed to assess the effects of different arginine (Arg) to lysine (Lys) ratios on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, growth performance, carcass characteristics, and antibody titers of Newcastle disease (ND) and infectious bronchitis (IB) disease in broilers during 35 days of trial. For this purpose, a total of 816 day-old broiler birds having an average weight of 38 ± 3 g were divided into six dietary treatments in such a way that each treatment had eight replicates and each replicate had 17 birds. The treatments were 0.

Background: The accelerated development of novel cancer therapies necessitates a thorough understanding of the associated cardiotoxicity profiles, due to their significant implications for the long-term health and quality of life of cancer survivors.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the association between cardiotoxicity and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatments using a hospital medicines usage database in England.
Methods: An observational study based on a retrospective design using real-world data from the UK DEFINE database was performed.

Background: Faecal Immunochemical Testing (FIT) is now core to the management of patients presenting in primary care with symptoms of possible colorectal cancer. Patients with a positive FIT (≥10μg Hb/g faeces) qualify for an urgent suspected cancer referral. FIT negative patients are typically managed in primary care or referred through routine pathways.

Parkinson's disease with dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are more prevalent in males than females. Furthermore, they typically showed abnormally high delta (< 4 Hz) and low alpha (8-10 Hz) rhythms from resting-state electroencephalographic (rsEEG) activity. Here, we hypothesized that those abnormalities may depend on the patient's sex.

Objective: Lipids are key molecules for atherosclerosis, with tight regulation mechanisms, making them potential biomarkers for disease-specific diagnostics and therapeutics. Therefore, we aim to perform a systematic literature review on lipidomic analysis in serum/plasma and plaque samples of patients with carotid atherosclerosis.
Methods: We performed a systematic review following the PRISMA guidelines on the lipidomic profile in serum/plasma and carotid artery plaques from patients with significant carotid disease by degree of stenosis in preoperative imaging and clinical presentation (symptomatic, asymptomatic, radiation-induced carotid disease).
