7 mg/ml and 152.0 mg/ml in the HH and IER groups, respectively, which was significantly (p less then 0.05) higher than that in the control group. These results confirm that HH and IER developed in this study may be a potential additive for animal feeds.

In this study, we aim to compare obstetric and perinatal outcomes between Turkish citizens and Syrian refugees who applied to a tertiary center in Izmir.

Demographic characteristics, obstetric and neonatal outcomes of 8103 Syrian refugee pregnant women and 47 151 Turkish citizen pregnant women between January 2013 and December 2018 were retrospectively compared. Our primary aim was to compare the cesarean rates and obstetrical results between two groups and to decide antenatal care secondarily.

Syrian refugee pregnant women are statistically younger (p < 0.001), mean pregnancy duration and mean birth weight is statistically lower (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). Adolescent pregnancy rates, preterm birth rates and anemia are statistically higher in refugee group (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively). Primary cesarean section rates, combined and triple screening tests application rates, gestational diabetes screening rates are meaningfully lower in refugee group (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively).

Syrian refugees are at risk for inadequate antenatal care, adolescent pregnancy, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, care should be given to these risks during pregnancy and childbirth to Syrian refugees.

To assess the accuracy of the lung ultrasound protocol Vet BLUE, using thoracic CT as the reference standard, for the detection of thoracic pathology in dogs and cats.

Animals that had thoracic ultrasound and thoracic CT were prospectively recruited between May 2017 and September 2018. The Vet BLUE protocol was performed on animals at the time of admission by veterinarians with basic training in emergency ultrasound. click here A board-certified radiologist, blinded to the Vet BLUE findings, reviewed the CT images.

CT was abnormal in 64.5% (20/31) animals. The number of CT sites positive for alveolar-interstitial syndrome was 24.2% (60/248). When using CT as the reference standard, detection of ≥3 B lines with thoracic ultrasound had a sensitivity of 18.33% and specificity of 98.4% for detection of site specific alveolar-interstitial syndrome. The sensitivity of Vet BLUE to detect alveolar-interstitial syndrome increased to 56.9% when including the presence of any B line as abnormal. Overall accuracy for detection of alveolar-interstitial syndrome based on these two criteria was 79% and 73%, respectively. Vet BLUE correctly identified consolidation in 58.3% (14/24) sites, pleural effusion in 66.6% (2/3) cases, pneumothorax in 33.3% (1/3) cases and intrathoracic mass in 25% (1/4) cases.

The Vet BLUE protocol is a useful technique to detect alveolar-interstitial syndrome and other thoracic pathology but should not be used as a sole imaging method. Detection of ≥3 B lines is highly suggestive of alveolar-interstitial syndrome and warrants further diagnostics.

The aim of the study was to determine the link between frequency of optimal respiratory-swallow coordination, swallowing impairment, and airway invasion in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients.

A cross-sectional study of a heterogeneous group of HNC patients (49), precancer (N = 30) or postcancer treatment (N = 29), participated in a single Modified Barium Swallow Study (MBSS) with synchronized respiratory data.

Spearman correlation coefficients revealed significant negative correlations between optimal respiratory-swallow phase pattern and objective measures of swallowing impairment penetration-aspiration scale max, pharyngeal total, and oral total scores with Spearman correlation coefficients of -0.53 (z .001), -0.50 (P < .001), and -0.43 (P = .002), respectively. Optimal respiratory-swallow pattern was significantly decreased (P = .03) in patients after cancer treatment compared with another patient group before cancer treatment.

These findings indicate that as the percentage of optimal respiratory-swallow phase patterns increase, swallowing impairment decreases in the HNC patient population.

The cover picture shows two lorries along the road directed to the destination 'H2 O2 reduction', and the selenol (SeH) lorry is faster than the thiol (SH) lorry. This cartoon represents the situation of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), in which the presence of selenium rather than sulfur warrants a significantly faster hydroperoxide reduction along the same mechanistic path.

The study utilized a cross-sectional survey to determine the short-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on dental care practices. The authors hypothesized that the effects of the pandemic would indicate differences based on the ethnicity of the participating dentist.

The survey was available online between June 1, 2020 and July 10, 2020, a period when many dental offices remained closed, and for the most part, unable to provide non-emergency dental care. The link to the survey was made available to dentists through outreach to several national dental organizations. Descriptive statistics summarized the characteristics of the entire sample and Fisher's exact test was used to examine respondents' answers stratified by ethnicity using frequencies and percentages.

All ethnic groups reported decreased revenue and African American dentists were the least likely to report a decrease in revenue compared to White and Other ethnic groups (84.2%, 87.2% and 92.9%). African American dentists were the most likely to report willingness to contribute to a task force to address the new challenges resulting from COVID-19 when compared to White and Other ethnic groups (46.
