β-glucan is a well-documented feed additive for its potent immunostimulatory properties in many farmed fish species. This study examined how it can also be a promising growth promoter, modulate antioxidant enzyme activities, and act as an anti-stress agent in striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus). A 12-week feeding experiment was untaken to determine the effects of dietary β-glucan supplementation at graded levels (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 g kg-1). Measured indicators suggest that a dietary inclusion level of 1...

The epicardial space (ES) is the anatomic region located between the myocardium and the pericardium. This space includes the visceral pericardium and the epicardial fat that contains the epicardial coronary arteries, cardiac veins, lymphatic channels, and nerves. The epicardial fat represents the main component of the ES. This fat deposit has been a focus of research in recent years owing to its properties and relationship with coronary gossypiboma plaque and atrial fibrillation. Although this region is sometimes forgotten, a broad spectrum of lesions can be found in the ES and can be divided into neoplastic and nonneoplastic categories...

The nipple-areolar complex (NAC), a unique anatomic structure of the breast, encompasses the terminal intramammary ducts and skin appendages. Several benign and malignant diseases can arise within the NAC. As several conditions have overlapping symptoms and imaging findings, understanding the distinctive nipple anatomy, as well as the clinical and imaging features of each NAC disease process, is essential. A multimodality imaging approach is optimal in the presence or absence of clinical symptoms. The authors review the ductal anatomy and anomalies, including congenital abnormalities and nipple retraction...

Oxygenated polyunsaturated fatty acids (oxylipins) are important mediators of inflammation ranging from pro- to anti-inflammatory actions. Research investigating differences in the oxylipin profile of dairy cows suffering from different degrees of systemic inflammation in the early postpartum period is lacking and can help advance knowledge on potential mechanisms leading to excessive inflammation. The objective of this preliminary study was to evaluate the plasma oxylipin profile of cows classified in 1 of 4 systemic inflammation categories based on plasma haptoglobin (Hp) concentrations assessed on days in milk (DIM) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7, in addition to the presence or absence of metritis within 10 DIM, and of cows without any clinical diseases within 21 DIM...

Introduction Dysphagia is commonly seen in patients with head and neck cancers after undergoing chemoradiotherapy and is often under-reported and also not given clinical importance. The quality of life of the patients can be significantly improved if the required dose constraints to the dysphagia aspiration-related structures (DARS) are achieved. The present study was conducted in order to determine the feasibility of achieving the dose constraints to DARS between the standard intensity-modulated radiotherapy (st-IMRT) arm and the dysphagia-optimized IMRT (do-IMRT) arm...

UNLABELLED: Chlamydia trachomatis is the leading cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infections in the US and of preventable blindness worldwide. This obligate intracellular pathogen replicates within a membrane-bound inclusion, but how it acquires nutrients from the host while avoiding detection by the innate immune system is incompletely understood. C. trachomatis accomplishes this in part through the translocation of a unique set of effectors into the inclusion membrane, the inc lusion membrane proteins (Incs)...

BACKGROUND: Extracellular ATP is involved in disorders that cause inflammation of the airways and cough, thus limiting its release has therapeutic benefits. Standard luminescence-based ATP assays measure levels indirectly through enzyme degradation and do not provide a simultaneous readout for other nucleotide analogues. Conversely, mass spectrometry can provide direct ATP measurements, however, common RPLC and HILIC methods face issues because these molecules are unstable, metal-sensitive analytes which are often poorly retained...

The initial ovulatory response during synchronization programs is often low in dairy heifers, largely due to follicular dynamics and hormonal dynamics. Specifically, the progesterone concentration (P4) at the time of the first GnRH treatment in a breeding program can influence the LH response, often resulting in a suboptimal ovulatory response. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of the highest label dose 200 μg (100 μg vs. 200 μg) of GnRH (50 μg gonadorelin hydrochloride per mL; Factrel®; Zoetis Inc...

Histidine-containing dipeptides (HCDs), such as anserine and carnosine, are enormously beneficial to human health and contribute to the meat flavor in chickens. Meat quality traits, including flavor, are polygenic traits with medium to high heritability. Polygenic traits can be improved through a better understanding of their genetic mechanisms. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) constitute an effective genomic tool to identify the significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and potential candidate genes related to various traits of interest in chickens...

BACKGROUND: Despite strong and growing interest in ending the ongoing opioid health crisis, there has been limited success in reducing the prevalence of opioid addiction and the number of deaths associated with opioid overdoses. Further, 1 explanation for this is that existing interventions target those who are opiate-dependent but do not prevent opioid-naïve patients from becoming addicted. OBJECTIVE: Leveraging behavioral economics at the patient level could help patients successfully use, discontinue, and dispose of their opioid medications in an acute pain setting...

BACKGROUND: Blood flow to the brain is a critical physiological function and is useful to monitor in critical care settings. Despite that, a surrogate is most likely measured instead of actual blood flow. Such surrogates include velocity measurements in the carotid artery and systemic blood pressure, even though true blood flow can actually be obtained using MRI and other modalities. Ultrasound is regularly used to measure blood flow and is, under certain conditions, able to provide quantitative volumetric blood flow in milliliters per minute...
