The Dietary Cation Anion Balance Exacerbates the Effects of Inorganic Phosphates on Parameters of Phosphate Metabolism in Cats

Dietary intake of inorganic phosphates is linked to various adverse health effects. Excessive intake of highly soluble inorganic phosphates, which are used as feed and food additives, have been found to impair parameters of kidney health. As chronic kidney disease represents one of the most frequent…

Marginal SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Increases Interferon and Balances Cytokine Gene Expression

Some evidence confirms the paradoxical beneficial role of harmful antigens when used in highly diluted forms. In this experiment, we observed cytokine gene expression changes in Gallus gallus embryo after challenge with Delta SARS-CoV-2 RBD spike protein antigen, from a concentration of 10 µg/mL to…

Power Imbalances Among Intimate Partners in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area

People tend to believe that power imbalance that women and men experience in an intimate relationship is natural, the way it should be and of course, something that should not be debated. The problem with this argument and/or generalisation is that it usually suggests that hegemonic masculinity shou…

An Inherited Balanced Translocation Between Chromosomes 4 and 6 in Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: A Case Report

Recurrent pregnancy loss is an important reproductive issue with a heterogeneous etiology where two or more consecutive abortions occur before 20 weeks of gestation. Approximately 15% of all clinically recognized pregnancies result in miscarriage with an incidence of 1 in 300 cases. Couples, who exp…

Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT): Comparison of Results with and without Neuromuscular Ankle Bandage

Study Design: Prospective study, simple crossover design. Background: Proprioception is a cornerstone for maintaining joint and postural stability. Dynamic stability is particularly emphasized within these components. This feature is important in the rehabilitation field. Therefore, the quest for el…

The Balance 2∙f (O) – f (H) as a Cornerstone in Formulation of Electrolytic Systems

The Generalized Electron Balance (GEB) concept, related to electrolytic redox systems, is considered according to principles of Generalized Approach to Electrolytic Systems (GATES). Two equivalent Approaches (I and II) to GEB are presented. The Approach I, when perceived in convention of the card ga…

Rearing Density Impacts Juvenile Bluegill Lepomis macrochirus Growth in a Recirculating Aquaculture System

The effects of rearing density on large juvenile bluegill Lepomis macrochirus growth in recirculating aquaculture systems are relatively unknown. This 63-day study evaluated three initial densities: low (6 kg/m3), intermediate (12 kg/m3), and high (18 kg/m3). Final densities were low (8.1 kg/m3), in…

Random Forest Classifier for Respiratory Mortality Analytics

Respiratory diseases remain a major contributor to hospital morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among elderly patients and individuals with severe pulmonary compromise. Accurate prediction of respiratory mortality is clinically important for triage, resource allocation, ICU utilization,…
