Using probiotics can control pathogens by a variety of mechanisms. Probiotics can promote growth performance and have, therefore, become increasingly important in the aquaculture industry. Convict Cichlid belongs to the family of Cichlidae and is known for its rapid development in laboratory conditions and is suitable for behavioral examinations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect...

BACKGROUND There are no data regarding the management of advanced soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) in elderly patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients ≥75 years old diagnosed with metastatic or unresectable STS between 1991 and 2011 in 11 French and American centers. RESULTS The study included 361 patients. Of these, 223 patients (62%) received systemic the...

the probiotic effects of two gram positive bacteria, bacillus subtilis and bacillus licheniformis, were examined on growth performance, body composition and survival rate of artemia urmiana. three diets containing 102 (t1), 104 (t2), 106 (t3) cfu of probiotics g feed-1 and a control diet (c) without probiotic were used through a completely randomized design (each with three replicates). the use...

BACKGROUND The aim was to investigate the outcomes associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE) among irresectable pancreatic cancer patients. METHODS This is a follow-up study of consecutive irresectable cancer patients, treated and followed up in clinical trials between December 2001 and December 2004 in order to evaluate the prognostic impact of symptomatic VTE on clinical outcomes, such a...

The aim of this study was to determine the clinical significances of p53 and p-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression on outcome predictors for patients with DLBC. We assessed the immunohistochemical expression of p53 and P-gp using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens in 108 patients diagnosed with de novo DLBC. A high expression of p53 was found in 53.7% of the patients. No expression of P-gp ...

Effects of dietary synbiotics on growth performance, survival, stress resistance, body composition and immune response in the Caspian roach (Rutilus rutilus) were evaluated. Fish with an initial average weight of 4.14±0.25 g were randomly distributed into tanks (50 fish per tank) and triplicate groups were fed a control diet or diets containing 1 g kg-1 and 2 g kg-1 synbiotics. After an 8-week ...
