Six (6) hours of soaking showed no significant difference in the nutritional composition of the flour samples compared with 9 hours. The soaking length optimizes the health and nutrient-promoting factors in the various blend samples while also reaffirming cowpeas as a viable biofortification option for use in complementary food production.The study investigated the effect of acidified turmeric, black pepper or its combination on growth and meat quality of broilers. The Averrhoa bilimbi Linn. fruit filtrate was used to acidify the herbs. A number of 392 day-old Lohmann broiler chicks were randomly distributed to four groups, including CONT (control diet), TRMC (diet supplemented with 1% acidified turmeric), BLPR (1% acidified black pepper) and TRPR (1% acidified turmeric and 1% acidified black pepper). Body weight, feed intake and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were weekly recorded. Internal organ weight and carcase traits were determined at day 35. The CONT and TRMC showed greater (p less then 0.05) weight gain than BLPR and TRPR. The FCR was lower (p less then 0.05) in TRMC than in BLPR and TRPR, but did not differ from CONT. BAY-293 research buy The gizzard was greater (p less then 0.05) in BLPR than that in CONT and TRMC. link2 The BLPR had smaller (p less then 0.05) pancreas than other chickens. Abdominal fat was lower (p less then 0.05) in TRMC, BLPR and TRPR than that in CONT, of which BLPR was the lowest. Drumstick was greater (p less then 0.05) in BLPR than in CONT. CONT had lighter and less yellow (p less then 0.05) breast meats than other broilers. In thigh meats, the lightness (L*) values were higher (p less then 0.05) in CONT than in TRMC and BLPR. The yellowness (b*) were lower (p less then 0.05) in CONT than in TRPR meats. In conclusion, acidified turmeric reduced abdominal fat deposition and improved meat quality of broilers.
Fourth degree burns damage the full thickness of the skin and affect underlying tissues. Skin grafting after debridement is often used to cover the wounds of salvageable severe burns. A granulation wound can be formed by drilling the skull to the barrier layer to solve the problem of skull exposure. Low oxygen levels present at high altitudes aggravate ischemia and hypoxia which can negatively impact wound healing. The impaired healing in such cases can be ameliorated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

We describe a patient who presented with fourth degree burns to the left temporal and facial regions upon admission in December 2018. The periosteum of the skull and the deep fascia of the face were exposed. After the first stage of debridement and skin grafting, the temporal skin did not survive well. Granulation was induced by cranial drilling, and then a local flap was transferred to cover the wound. The left temporal and facial wounds were completely covered and the patient recovered well.

Skin grafting an exposure and wounds with poor blood supply. We consider that hyperbaric oxygen treatment and improving tissue oxygen supply were beneficial in this patient.
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immune-mediated syndrome caused by allergen inhalation. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of HP may show diffuse ground-glass opacity, centrilobular ground-glass nodules, areas of air-trapping, thin-walled cysts, or fibrotic changes.

A 47-year-old male patient went to the hospital complaining of cough and gradual aggravation of shortness of breath. HRCT of the lung showed that multiple nodules and ground-glass high-density shadows were present in both lungs. In addition, circular high-density shadows of various sizes were widely distributed in both lungs with relatively normal lung markings inside them. But other tests did not have a positive finding that can clarify the cause. Therefore, the patient underwent a lung biopsy. The pathological results showed that the lesions tended to be HP. After 4 mo of follow-up, the lesions in the patient's lungs were absorbed spontaneously, and the symptoms of cough and shortness of breath have disappeared. The review results suggested that the patient's disease was self-healing, which was consistent with the characteristics of HP.

For some patients with HP, abnormal HRCT findings, such as the lesions in the lungs, can be absorbed on their own, which is an important clue in the diagnosis of the disease. Early diagnosis by lung biopsy is necessary when antigen exposure is unknown.

Endodontic-periodontal lesion is a commonly encountered dental condition. However, the prognosis of the condition varies from good to poor. Some cases are associated with a poor prognosis that requires tooth extraction. This report presents a case of an endodontic-periodontal lesion in a tooth that was successfully treated by root canal treatment.

A 51-year-old female patient with no medical history complained about persistent pain and discomfort in her left mandibular first molar. Clinical examination showed the left mandibular first molar with poor restoration. It was also associated with underlying necrotic pulp and periodontal involvement. Radiographic examination revealed visible bone defects in the apical and periodontal areas. Based on the findings, the patient was diagnosed with a primary endodontic lesion. A root canal treatment for the endodontic lesion was performed. The patient received a coronal all-ceramic endocrown restoration. link3 A follow-up was arranged to check the prognosis. At the 3 mo follow-up, the clinical and radiography evaluations showed complete disappearance of signs and symptoms and an increase in the radiopacity of the root area.

Despite the poor prognosis associated with many endodontic lesions, this case report highlights that a good prognosis is still possible for an endodontic lesion with apical and periodontal bone loss. In this case, it was achieved
successful root canal treatment without the need for periodontal or surgical intervention.

Primary chondrosarcoma of the liver are extremely rare. Moreover, there are few reports focusing on typical clinical symptoms and imaging characteristics. Therefore, the diagnosis of chondrosarcoma of the liver remains a challenge.

A 59-year-old male was admitted due to a lesion occupying the right liver lobe that was found by physical examination. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a lobular mass with high T2 weighted image and low T1 weighted image with enhanced internal separation and edge in the right liver. He was diagnosed with liver cystadenoma by using magnetic resonance imaging. At 3 mo later, the magnetic resonance scan showed that the mass was enlarged. Laparoscopic liver tumor resection was performed with a pathological diagnosis of liver chondrosarcoma. Then he received a surgical resection for the recurrent lesion. However, intrahepatic and abdominal metastases were found again at 8 mo after the second operation. The patient then received conservative management and is now under follow-up.

Primary liver chondrosarcoma generally is presented as lobulated and heterogeneous density/signal, cystic, solid masses without calcification with enhanced edge, internal septa and solid part. The imaging features are closely related to pathology, which may be helpful for clinical diagnosis.

Choriocarcinoma is a highly malignant trophoblastic tumor that presents with early symptoms similar to those of an ectopic pregnancy. Here we present a patient with suspected ectopic pregnancy diagnosed by laparoscopic surgery in our hospital. The patient was found to have choriocarcinoma that had metastasized to the lumbar muscle and presented with symptoms similar to those of an ectopic pregnancy.

The patient was a 34-year-old female who complained of amenorrhea lasting 53 d, 7 d of right lower back pain, and 3 d of right lower abdominal pain. Transvaginal ultrasonography revealed the absence of a gestational sac in the uterus and a mass in the left adnexa. After 6 d of re-examination, ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) examination were performed on the mass located in the left adnexa area. We also noted that the patient's serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level was increased. Considering an ectopic pregnancy, we performed a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. During the operation, a left ovarian mixed echogenic mass approximately 2.5 cm × 2.0 cm with no villous tissue was found. Postoperative levels of serum hCG continued to increase. Lung CT examination showed lung nodules. Both CT and magnetic resonance imaging showed a mixed echogenic mass in the lumbar muscle. Considering lumbar metastasis of choriocarcinoma, six courses of cisplatin, dactinomycin, and etoposide chemotherapy were given after surgery. The patient's serum β-hCG level decreased to normal and the mixed echogenic mass in the lumbar muscle decreased in size after the fifth course of chemotherapy. All symptoms subsequently disappeared after treatment.

In summary, lumbar metastasis from choriocarcinoma is extremely rare. Appropriate chemotherapy can successfully treat these metastasized tumors.

Posterior scleritis is a rare inflammatory ocular disease, characterized by severe and painful inflammation of the sclera. It is often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed, due to its general and varying clinical presentation profile, which primarily involves pain and visual impairment but which can includeeyelid edema, choroidal folds, serous retinal detachment, disc edema, hard exudates in fovea and subretinal mass. We report here a case of posterior scleritis, with symptoms of eye pain and red eye, initially misdiagnosed as acute conjunctivitis.

A 56-year-old man presented to a local hospital with complaint of pain and redness in the right eye. The initial diagnosis was acute conjunctivitis and he was given antibiotic eyedrops. Upon week-long continuance of the symptoms despite treatment, he presented to our hospital. Initial examination revealed a shallow anterior chamber in the right eye and vision reduction to 0.6. Further testing by optical coherence tomography, ultrasound biomicroscopy, and fundus photography indicated diagnosis of posterior scleritis. The patient was given methylprednisolone (oral) on a tapered reduction schedule (starting with 70 mg/d). According to the peaks and troughs of symptoms, compound betamethasone injection was administered into the bulb, culminating in discontinuation of the oral corticosteroid. Subsequent optical coherence tomography showed the subretinal fluid near the optic disc to be completely absorbed after treatment.

Posterior scleritis should be among the differential diagnosis of eye pain and redness, and diagnosis requires further ophthalmic accessory examination, such as by optical coherence tomography.
