A nomogram for clinical estimation of acute biliary pancreatitis risk among patients with symptomatic gallstones: A retrospective case-control study by Xiaoyu Guo, Yilong Li, Hui Lin, Long Cheng, Zijian Huang, Zhitao Lin, Ning Mao, Bei Sun, Gang Wang, Qiushi Tang

“…We conducted a propensity-score matched (PSM) analysis based on follow-up time in a ratio of 1:4 between ABP group (n=65) and non-ABP group (n=260). These matched patients were randomly divided into study cohort (n=229) and validation cohort (n=96) according to a ratio of 7:3. …”

The effect of using diet supplementation based on argane (Argania spinosa) on fattening performance, carcass characteristics and fatty acid composition of lambs by Sana Moutik, Aouatif Benali, Mohammed Bendaou, El Haj Maadoudi, Mohammed Rachid Kabbour, Abdellah El Housni, Nour Eddine Es-Safi

“…The results obtained for both groups were used to determine the effect of feeding argane by-products on animal weight, average daily gain (ADG), carcass weight, muscle pH values, dressing %, dry matter, ash, ether extract, crude fiber, crude protein, and fatty acid composition.The obtained results showed that the experimental ABP group lambs had higher average daily gain and meat chemical, crude protein and ash and proportion of C18:0 than the control CF group lambs, while the control CF group had a higher feed conversion ratio, ether extract, mesenteric and perirenal fat. …”

Permanent pacemaker implantation in unexplained syncope patients with borderline sinus bradycardia and electrophysiology study‐proven sinus node disease by Ioannis Doundoulakis, Konstantinos A. Gatzoulis, Petros Arsenos, Polychronis Dilaveris, Ioannis Skiadas, Dimitrios Tsiachris, Christos‐Konstantinos Antoniou, Stergios Soulaidopoulos, George Karystinos, Voula Pylarinou, Maria Drakopoulou, Skevos Sideris, Charalambos Vlachopoulos, Dimitrios Tousoulis

“…Over a mean follow‐up of approximately 4 years (50.39 ± 32.40 months), the primary outcome event (syncope) occurred in 18 of 122 patients (14.8%), 6 of 80 (7.5%) in the ABP group as compared to 12 of 42 (28.6%) in the no pacemaker group (P = .002). …”

Changes in the liver transcriptome of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fed experimental diets based on terrestrial alternatives to fish meal and fish oil by Albert Caballero-Solares, Xi Xue, Christopher C. Parrish, Maryam Beheshti Foroutani, Richard G. Taylor, Matthew L. Rise

“…Overall, our results indicate that changes in the liver transcriptome and tissue lipid composition were driven by cholesterol synthesis up-regulation by ABP and VEG diets, and the lower carbohydrate intake in the ABP group. Two of the microarray-identified genes (sgk2 and htra1) might be key to explaining glucose metabolism regulation and the dietary-modulation of the immune system in fish. …”
