Recent advances in role of chromium and its antioxidant combinations in poultry nutrition: A review

The general pediatrician plays important roles even as neonatology becomes more specialized: first in the evaluation of the newborn infant and in the organization of resources for care; and second as a major influence in the education of the parents. Awareness of significant advances will allow appropriate counseling of parents and obstetricians. Inasmuch as perinatal centers can provide care for mothers and babies that other hospitals cannot, pediatricians must ensure that the regionalization network and transport mechanism are established so that life-saving advances are available for their patients. Then, the pediatrician and the obstetrician, as members of a team, can provide the best possible care to mother and infant.

The aim of the study was to review the results of scientific research on the effect of herbs and phytogenic feed additives used in poultry nutrition on animal welfare, breeding conditions, and the quality of meat. The article explains the importance of feed additives used in poultry nutrition. It discusses the role of herbs and phytogenic feed additives in nutrition in the context of the increasing demand for and consumption of poultry meat. The article also analyzes the influence of herbs and phytogenic feed additives on animal welfare, rearing conditions, and meat quality. The results of research on the effect of herbs and phytogenic feed additives used in poultry nutrition are not unequivocal. In view of the high demand for poultry meat, there is need for continued research on the optimal composition of herbal mixtures in nutrition to obtain good breeding conditions and high quality meat.

Epigenetic Methylation

: Kidney disease has complex and multifactorial pathophysiology and pathogenesis. Recent studies have revealed that epigenetic methylation changes, namely DNA methylation, histone methylation and non-histone methylation, are strongly implicated in various forms of kidney diseases. This review provides a perspective on the emerging role of epigenetic methylation in kidney disease, including the effects of DNA methylation in diverse promoter regions, regulation and implication of histone methylation, and recent advances and potential directions related to non-histone methylation. Monitoring or targeting epigenetic methylation has potential to contribute to development of therapeutic approaches for multiple kidney diseases.
