Abstract The effect of replacing inorganic zinc with organic zinc in diets of pregnant goats was investigated on the development of the liver and spleen of offspring. Pregnant goats (n = 14; Xiangdong black goat, local breed) of similar parity and body weight (BW, 37.17 ± 5.28 kg) were selected and divided randomly into two groups: the zinc sulfate group (ZnSO4; n = 7) and the methionine-chelated zinc group (Zn-Met; n = 7). Goats were fed for 45 days (day 106 of gestation to delivery)....

Abstract Trivalent chromium (Cr) and bitter melon (Momordica charantia L., BM) have been shown to independently interact with the insulin signaling pathway leading to improvements in the symptoms of insulin resistance and diabetes in some animal models and human subjects. The aim of this study was to examine whether the combination of the two nutritional supplements could potentially have additive effects on treating these conditions in high-fat-fed streptozotocin (STZ)-induced...

Abstract The assessment of heavy metals in feeds for food-producing animals is of particular importance both for animal and human health. Single feeds can be mixed and offered to animals either crushed or pelleted, and it would be recommendable to assess heavy metal content before mixing. A total of 408 feed samples for poultry were sent to our laboratory by farmers and feed manufacturers from Germany. Single feeding stuffs (cereals and legume seeds, n = 109 and n = 86, respectively)...

Abstract A computational methodology to simulate the diffusion of ions from point sources (e.g., ion channels) is described. The outlined approach computes the ion concentration from a cluster of many ion channels at pre-specified locations as a function of time using the theory of propagation integrals. How the channels’ open/closed states evolve in time does not need to be known at the start of the simulation, but can be updated on-the-fly as the simulation goes along. The technique...

Abstract The emergence of lactic acid bacteria (LABs) resistant to existing antimicrobial drugs is a growing health crisis. To decrease the overuse of antibiotics, molecular diagnostic systems that can rapidly determine the presence of antibiotic resistance (AR) genes in LABs from yogurt samples are needed. This paper describes a fully integrated, miniaturized plastic chip and closed-tube detection chemistry that performs multiplex nucleic acid amplification. High-throughput identification...

Abstract Multiple interlinked factors are associated with the global resistome, whereas multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens have been related to increased mortality rates in humans and animals. CTX-M-type is the most prevalent extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) among Enterobacteriaceae, which raises concern worldwide. Zoological gardens have a high density of animals that live very close to each other and to humans. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate through the whole-genome...

Τα ηλεκτρονικά τσιγάρα δεν μπορούν να προκαλέσουν βλάβες μόνο στους πνεύμονες, αλλά και στη στοματική κοιλότητα. Νέα έρευνα δείχνει ότι άτμισμα λίγων μηνών μπορεί να προκαλέσει ασθένειες των ούλων. Πρόκειται για μελέτη που έγινε στο οδοντιατρικό τμήμα του Πανεπιστημίου του Οχάιο και δημοσιεύθηκε στις 27 Μαΐου στο Science Advances. Οι ερευνητές συνέλεξαν δείγματα οδοντικής πλάκας από κάτω από τα ούλα 123 νέων και υγιών ατόμων που δεν είχαν συμπτώματα στοματικής νόσου: 25 καπνιστές, 25 μη καπνιστές,...

Αφού οι άνθρωποι υποβληθούν σε χειρουργική επέμβαση αποκατάστασης ισχίου ή γόνατος, οι γιατροί αναμένουν ότι αυτοί οι ασθενείς θα ανακουφιστούν από τον πόνο στις αρθρώσεις, θα επιστρέψουν στην καθημερινότητα ευκολότερα και θα απολαύσουν και πάλι τις δραστηριότητες που αγαπούν. Τώρα, μια νέα μελέτη του Πανεπιστημίου του Σικάγο δείχνει ότι οι σύντροφοι των ασθενών -και ως εκ τούτου ο γάμος τους- αποκομίζουν επίσης τα οφέλη της επιτυχημένης χειρουργικής επέμβασης. Ήταν προφανές ότι οι ασθενείς μετά...

Abstract The ability to detect a silent gap within a sound is critical for accurate speech perception, and gap detection has been shown to have an extended developmental trajectory. In certain conditions, the detectability of the gap decreases as the gap is placed closer to the beginning of the signal. Early in development, the detection of gaps shortly after signal onset may be especially difficult due to immaturities in the encoding and perception of rapidly changing sounds....
