The relationship between severity of hemorrhoid symptoms and quality of life in Postpartum Women with Grade I and II Internal Hemorrhoid

Introduction: The hemorrhoid is referred to dilated parts of the anal canal veins, which help to control fecal excretion and is one of the most common digestive diseases. Since postpartum problems such as hemorrhoid have significant effect ...

Transmission of β-lactamases in the pork food chain: A public health concern

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a risk for public health that requires management in a One Health perspective, including humans, animals, and the environment. The food production chain has been identified as a possible route of transmissi...

Assessment of the physicochemical and bacteriological quality of water source and a well in Bakoya aquifer, northern Morocco

This study aims to investigate the physical, chemical, and bacteriological quality of water derived from both a well and a spring across three distinct periods (2008, 2012, and 2021) in both summer and winter. These sampling points are situ...

Beyond airborne spread: a dual-route Wells-Riley extension for estimating norovirus infection risk in Ghanaian pediatric wards

Background: The classic Wells–Riley model (CWRM) is a well-established framework for estimating airborne infection risk in shared indoor environments. This study extends the framework to simultaneously incorporate fecal–oral transmission, a...

Using DNA metabarcoding and a novel canid-specific blocking oligonucleotide to investigate the composition of animal diets of raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) inhabiting the waterside area in Korea

The raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) is known to be an opportunistic generalist who feeds on a wide variety of foods. Historically, their diet has been investigated by morphological observation of undigested remains in feces, requirin...

Effects of Forage Source and Method of Offering on Growth Performance, Starter Feed Intake, Rumen Fermentation, and Selected Blood Parameters in Preweaned Holstein Calves

This study evaluated the effects of forage source and method of offering on growth performance, starter feed intake, fecal score, rumen fermentation, and selected blood parameters in preweaned Holstein calves. Forty calves were assigned to ...

Feeding Pasteurized Waste Milk to Preweaned Dairy Calves Changes Fecal and Upper Respiratory Tract Microbiota

In the present study bacterial communities from both, the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract of pre-weaned dairy calves fed two different milk-feeding programs were characterized using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Twenty female Holstein ca...

Endoscopic Follow-Up of Positive Fecal Occult Blood Testing in the Ontario FOBT Project

BACKGROUND: The Ontario FOBT Project is a pilot study of fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) for colorectal cancer screening conducted among age-eligible volunteers (50 to 75 years) in 12 of 37 public health regions in Ontario....
