In poultry industry, probiotics applications have widely been shown to improve the barrier function of intestine and reduce pathogenic problems in gastrointestinal tract thus leading to the enhancement of immune response and replacement of sub-therapeutic antibiotics. Probiotics, the novel feed or food supplements are naturally occurring beneficial live microbes including bacteria, fungi and yeasts. Probiotics are proven to improve the health and wellbeing of birds. As a group of growth promoters, the addition of probiotics to the diet of poultry has been found to improve growth performance, feed conversion efficiency, immune responses and help in combating enteric pathogens. The addition of probiotics to poultry diet also improves egg production in layers. Three basic mechanisms of probiotics include competitive exclusion of pathogenic microbes, production of antibacterial substances and immune modulation of host. Generally, live a pathogenic microbial strain, singly or as multistrain probiotics, belonging to genus Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Bacillus, Enterococcus, Pediococcus, Aspergillus and Saccharomyces are used in poultry. The injudicious and prolific use of sub-therapeutic levels of antibiotics in animal feed to suppress or eliminate harmful organisms, and to improve growth and feed efficiency, have paved way for their presence as residues in animal by-products and have also given rise to drug resistant microorganisms. Because of public health concerns, nowadays, the use of probiotics as substitute for antibiotics in poultry production has become an area of great interest. The present article reviews the beneficial effects and potential applications of probiotics or direct fed microbial (DFM) on health and production performances in poultry.","PeriodicalId":197511,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Probiotics and Dietetics","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139357905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study investigates the potential benefits and challenges associated with the adoption and use of smartphone apps in the livestock farming sector. The findings reveal that smartphone apps provide a convenient and efficient way for farmers to record and analyse data, enabling real-time monitoring and data-driven decision-making. These apps also act as effective tools for extending agricultural information to farmers, providing access to resources and creating virtual communities for knowledge sharing. Moreover, smartphone apps empower farmers to make informed decisions by providing real-time information on weather, market prices, and disease alerts. However, challenges such as reliable internet connectivity, technical literacy, and the accuracy of app-based information need to be addressed for successful app adoption. Overall, smartphone apps have the potential to revolutionize livestock farming by enhancing data management, extending agricultural knowledge, and enabling informed decision-making, requiring collaboration among farmers, app developers, extension services, and policymakers. However, it is important to note that while smartphone apps can supplement traditional extension services, they should not be seen as a complete replacement, as access to reliable internet connectivity and technical literacy can pose limitations in some rural areas. It is therefore, essential to ensure that the data and information provided by these apps are accurate, reliable, and context-specific. Farmers should be cautious of potential biases and limitations in the algorithms used by these apps and should supplement the app-based information with their own knowledge and experience.","PeriodicalId":197511,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Probiotics and Dietetics","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139358431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SMAS is primarily attributed to loss of the intervening mesenteric fat pad, leading to partial or complete duodenal obstruction. Its manifestations are complex and non-specific, including postprandial epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, early satiety, weight loss and anorexia. SMAS may present as an acute syndrome, or it may have an insidious onset with chronic symptoms. SMAS mainly affects females between 10 and 40 years of age. This study aims to discuss the safety and efficacy of vascular decompression of the duodenum by infrarenal transposition of SMA. Methods: This single-centre prospective clinical study analysed 45 patients with Wilkie’s syndrome who underwent infrarenal transposition of the SMA between January 2012 and December 2021. The indications for the surgery were severe weight loss, uncontrolled upper abdominal pain, vomiting and other gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms that were severely debilitating to patients’ daily lives, along with radiological findings such as aortomesenteric angle < 25°, aortomesenteric distance <8 mm and distention of proximal part of the duodenum and the stomach. Thirteen patients (27%) concurrently had Nutcracker syndrome and eight patients (18.9%) had Dunbar syndrome (median arcuate ligament syndrome). Three female and one male patients (8.1%) had all three above-mentioned vascular compression syndromes, which were treated in the same surgery. One male patient (2.7%) was after a laparoscopic duodenojejunostomy with symptoms that relapsed three months postoperatively, which was cured after the infrarenal transposition of SMA. Results: Technical operative and clinical success were achieved in all patients. There were no cases of anastomotic failure, SMA thrombosis or intestinal ischemia. All of the patients are currently living symptom-free. One patient (2.7%), four days postoperatively, had a lymphocele formed in the retroperitoneum, which was successfully drained by a CT-guided percutaneous pigtail catheter. Another patient (2.7%) after three months of surgery needed a re-laparotomy for adhesive obstruction of the second part of the duodenum and was treated by adhesiolysis and omentoplasty. One patient (2.7%), 2-year postoperatively, had a proximal SMA stenosis up to 60% where drug-eluting balloon percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (DEB PTA) was performed successfully. Finally, the upper GI symptoms were resolved in all 45 patients (100%). Conclusion: Wilkie’s syndrome, although rare, is frequently late-diagnosed or underdiagnosed. In cases of failure of conservative therapy, infrarenal transposition of the SMA can be considered a safe and feasible surgical op","PeriodicalId":197511,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Probiotics and Dietetics","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116685373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This pilot study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of a novel probiotic formula, SMT04, which consists of Bifidobacterial and Streptococcus, in reducing CRC-associated bacterial pathogens in humans. Methods: This was a pilot study of subjects taking SMT04 for 3 months (50 billion CFU per sachet). Subjects aged 18 or above who underwent colonoscopy within one year were enrolled. Exclusion criteria included a history of CRC; severe co-morbidity; and use of probiotics, prebiotics, or antibiotics within 30 days. Subjects underwent a noninvasive stool test for the quantitation of three CRC-associated bacterial DNA markers (Fn, m3 and Ch) by qPCR according to a prespecified protocol at baseline, month 1, month 2, and month 3. The primary outcome was the change in CRC-associated bacterial DNA markers. Gastrointestinal symptoms and adverse events were assessed. All subjects provided informed written consent. Results: Twenty-one (M:F 9:11) eligible subjects were recruited (mean age ± SD: 56.57 ± 8.81).

It is a condition when insulin is produced by our body but, it is not used properly by us. The number of diabetic patients is increasing in the whole world. The problem of obesity is also very closely related to it, which itself is expanding. The individuals diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus have high chance of microvascular problems (like nephropathy). They are also at the verge of facing macrovascular ailments (like cardiovascular comorbidities). These issues are usually because of hyperglycemia and specific mechanisms of the insulin resistance (metabolic) disorder. Environmental factors and genetic features result in different pathophysiological issues. Arsenic is the chemical that act as diabetogenic agent as it effect the functioning of pancreatic beta cells and also cause insulin resistance through several ways like oxidative stress by the production of free radicals in the body and also due to the disturbance of protein hormone that disrupt insulin sensitivity. Methods: Initially data through Questionnaire and samples of 100 diabetic patients and 100 normal healthy persons were collected. Then different parameters including AST, ALP, AST, Creatinine, Bilirubin, Urea, and HBA1c were estimated. Then the main parameter (Arsenic) was evaluated. Then Statistical analysis was done on collected data of both groups. Results: All the parameters including glucose level was higher in diabetic patients. By comparing values of two groups statistically, it was observed that arsenic levels in diabetic group are far higher than the control group and the value of diabetic group is exceeding than the standard value. Conclusion: So, arsenic level was higher in diabetic persons and working as diabetic agent. There should be no residence near rice paddies or any arsenic rich area. We should promote the usage of PPE “personal protective equipment” in order to avoid arsenic exposure.","PeriodicalId":197511,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Probiotics and Dietetics","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122612801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
