In 1922 Davis described an infectious disease which was responsible for heavy mortalities in a number of species of warm water fishes in the Mississippi Valley. Although Davis was unsuccessful in his attempts to cultivate the etiological agent, he reported that large numbers of slender, motile bacteria were characteristically present in the lesions of infected fish. He further noted that when m...

ingestion of fish oil fatty acids (omega - 3 fatty acids ) inhibits the formation of arachidonic acid - derived cytokines and leads to production of compounds with diminished biological activity. beneficial effects of dietary supplementation with fish oil in rheumatoid arthritis have been shown in many controlled trials.methods : 43 patients with active rheumatoid arthritis entered in a prospec...
