Effects of post-weaning supplementation of immunomodulatory feed ingredient on body weight and cortisol concentrations in program-fed beef heifers.

Domestic animal endocrinology
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of an immunomodulatory feed ingredient during post-weaning on growth and cortisol concentrations of beef heifers. Commercial Angus heifers (n = 72) from 2 AI sires were blocked (n = 9) by BW an...

Flavonoid bioactive compounds of hawthorn extract can promote growth, regulate electrocardiogram waves, and improve cardiac parameters of pulmonary hypertensive chickens.

Poultry science
The effect of orally administered hawthorn flavonoid extract (HFE) on growth, electrocardiographic waves, and cardiac parameters of pulmonary hypertensive chickens reared at high altitude (2,100 m above sea level) was examined. A total of 225 one-day...

Single position spinal surgery for the treatment of grade II spondylolisthesis: A technical note.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Minimally invasive transpsoas approach to treat lumbar spondylolisthesis is associated with increased clinical benefits.

Effect of dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation and post-insemination plane of nutrition on systemic concentrations of metabolic analytes, progesterone, hepatic gene expression and embryo development and survival in beef heifers.

Theriogenology
Nutrition, and particularly dietary energy intake, plays a fundamental role in reproductive function in cattle. There is some evidence that supplemental omega-3 dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) can exert positive effects on fertility. T...

Predicting iron absorption from an effervescent iron supplement in obese patients before and after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a preliminary study.

Journal of trace elements in medicine and biology : organ of the Society for Minerals and Trace Elements (GMS)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Oral iron absorption is hampered in obese and bariatric patients, especially after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). As a result, iron deficiency, which is common in both patient groups, can be difficult to treat by oral supplements...

Effects of ω-3 supplementation on the nutritional status, immune, and inflammatory profiles of gastric cancer patients: A randomized controlled trial.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to study the effect of ω-3 supplementation on the nutritional status and the immune and inflammatory profiles of patients with gastric cancer during antineoplastic pretreatment.

Vitamin D in the ICU: More sun for critically ill adult patients?

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
Critical illness in patients is characterized by systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Vitamin D has a myriad of biological functions relevant to this population, including immunomodulation by the alteration of cytokine production and nuclear f...

Effect of combined vitamin D administration plus dietary intervention on oxidative stress markers in patients with metabolic syndrome: A pilot randomized study.

Clinical nutrition ESPEN
BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients can have low 25-hydroxyvitamin D 25(OH)VitD levels, which may be associated with increased oxidative stress. There is little data on the effect of 25(OH)VitD administration plus dietary intervention on o...

Using natural language processing methods to classify use status of dietary supplements in clinical notes.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Despite widespread use, the safety of dietary supplements is open to doubt due to the fact that they can interact with prescribed medications, leading to dangerous clinical outcomes. Electronic health records (EHRs) provide a potential wa...

Milk from cows fed a diet with a high forage:concentrate ratio improves inflammatory state, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial function in rats.

Journal of dairy science
Excessive energy intake may evoke complex biochemical processes characterized by inflammation, oxidative stress, and impairment of mitochondrial function that represent the main factors underlying noncommunicable diseases. Because cow milk is widely ...
