Burns et al.A term infant born via uncomplicated caesarian section was noted to be jittery, hypotonic, and have pooling of secretions at birth. Over the first four weeks of life, the infant developed four limb hypertonia, hyperreflexia, and clonus. MRI at 3.5 weeks old showed brain immaturity, poor myelination, and increased signal in the dorsal thalami. At six months, dystonic features with … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 7 Mar 2025 · 7,660 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidizing Efficiency of Yogurt Probiotics Peptides Concerning Egg Yolk NutrientsSyifa Silviarahma Nurfadilah, Lovita Adriani, Deny Saefulhadjar et al.Yogurt contains bioactive peptides that serve as antioxidants. These peptides can inhibit the production of free radicals in laying chicken body cells, affecting egg quality. We aimed to evaluate the impact of the antioxidant potential of Water-Soluble Peptide Extract (WSPE) yogurt on the protein, lipid, and cholesterol levels in yolks from chicken eggs. We used a completely randomized design (CRD) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2025 · 6,235 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary Protein and Energy Levels at 3200 m Altitude for Slow-Growing ChickensMariela Ketty Meza-Morveli, Liz Beatriz Chino-Velasquez, Jesús Camero DeLaCuba et al.The extent to which energy and protein (CP) levels can be reduced without impacting productivity in slow-growing chickens remains undetermined. The treatments were conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary CP (17.5, 19, and 20.5%) and energy (2850-2950 kcal ME/kg) on slow-growing chickens using an ideal protein concept at a high altitude (3200 m). We used a total of 144 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2024 · 5,275 accessesView PDF Cite

Hence, blood samples were collected from thirty (30) healthy Red Sokoto goats fed an earthworm meal-based diet with ten goats per treatment constituting a replicate in a Completely Randomized design model to evaluate the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 3 Dec 2024 · 4,963 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of the Contribution of Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) K Peptide in Enhancing the Expression of Lipase from Sphingobacterium sp.: In vitro and in Silico StudiesIbrahim Muhammad et al.Sphingobacterium sp. AB3 lipase is a psychrophilic enzyme with optimal lipolytic activity at pH 7 and 15°C. The cold-adapted properties of the lipase render it suitable for various low-temperature industrial applications such as biodiesel production, detergent formulation, and non-thermal food processing. Recent studies have shown that co-expression of LEA K peptide with AB3 lipase resulted in enhanced protein expression in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 21 Nov 2024 · 4,569 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Cross-Sectional Study of the Prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus InfectionOmar Atrooz, Rehab Thunibat, Ihssan AtroozLiver pain is increased by hepatotropic viruses, such as the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). This illness can progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer. This study aims to determine the prevalence of hepatitis C in the Southern Jordanian cities (Karak and Tafilah) as well as the correlations between alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), age and gender in hepatitis C patients. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 5 Jul 2024 · 4,414 accessesView PDF Cite
