A synthetic culture medium is proposed. This medium satisfies the nutritional requirements of most cultivated strains under study by a single amino acid: valine. The possibility of detecting strains with other nutritional requirements has been shown. The determination of LD50 in white mice has revealed no differences between the virulence of valine-dependent strains and that of strains with other nutritional requirements. During the batch cultivation of strain STI-1 in a liquid medium glucose shows the effect of substrate limitation and inhibition. The optimum concentration of glucose can be different, depending on the composition of the medium. The influence of different amino acids, the sources of carbon and energy, and nitrogen on the growth of the strain is evaluated.

Japanese quails () are sensitive to zinc (Zn) deficiency, a mineral essential for growth, development, and bone health. This study evaluated the effects of different levels of Zn in the diet on zootechnical performance, organ and carcass weight, and tibial breakage resistance in quails from 1 to 42 days of age. A 5 × 2 factorial design was used, consisting of five Zn levels (30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 mg/kg) and two thermal environments (thermal comfort and heat stress), with five replicates of 10 birds per treatment.

Purpose: We aim to ascertain the extent to which the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to serum albumin (ALB) ratio (BAR) could be implemented to anticipate the short- and long-term prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients in intensive care units (ICUs).
Methods: The data was derived from the Marketplace for Intensive Care Medical Information-IV (MIMIC-IV v3.0) database, primarily pertaining to AIS patients as categorized by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9 and ICD-10.
