Ultrasonographic assessment of optic nerve: does it help in lupus-induced optic neuropathy? by Amira Elsonbaty, Abdallah El-Sayed Allam, Doaa M Mahmoud, Sara Alattar, Ahmed Hosny Shaaban

“…Significant enlargement was present among lupus patients OND and ONSD (p= 0.017, 0.004, respectively) in comparison to controls; ultrasonographic evaluation had a high specificity when compared to ophthalmological evaluation and VEP reaching 89.6% and 88.1%, respectively, but with very low sensitivity.Conclusion Ultrasonographic evaluation of the optic nerve may add significant value to the diagnosis of optic neuropathy in patients with SLE and should be considered a complementary tool to other conventional methods.…”

Assessment of Spoilage Microbiota of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) during Storage by 16S rDNA Sequencing by Guangqing Du, Yuanming Gai, Hui Zhou, Shaoping Fu, Dawei Zhang

“…Here, the changes in the total bacterial colony and total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N) during the storage of rainbow trout were investigated. Storage at 0 °C can effectively slow down the spoilage process with bacterial counts and TVB-N contents decreased from 8.7 log CFU/g and 18.7 mg/100 g obtained at 4 °C to 5.6 log CFU/g and 14.5 mg/100 g, respectively. 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing results showed that the diversity of microbial genera decreased during storage. …”

Prevalence and associated factors of adult overweight and obesity in Southwestern China by Xiao-Qiang Zhang, Hua-An Du, Chuan Huang, Jian-Xiong Liu, Yong-Mei Hu, Ya Liu, Xiao-Bo Huang

“…A total of 11,096 residents aged 35–79 years were included in the final analysis of this study.ResultsThe prevalence of overweight and obesity among adults aged 35–79 years in Southwestern China were 29.7 and 4.4%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis suggested that women, non-smokers, ex-smokers, being hypertensive and diabetic were related to higher obesity prevalence, and that physically active adults and those aged 65–79 years were less likely to have obesity.ConclusionObesity and overweight were prevalent in Southwestern China, especially among women, those with diabetes and/or hypertension, and those who have quitted smoking for more than 3 years.…”
