Long-Term Results of Medical and Surgical Methods for Elimination of the Internal Anal Sphincter Spasm in Chronic Anal Fissure (NCT03855046) by S. I. Achkasov, R. Yu. Khryukin, E. E. Zharkov, A. A. Ponomarenko, O. Yu. Fomenko, N. I. Klopkov, Z. Z. Kamaeva, E. Yu. Lebedeva, K. I. Sagidova

“…In the framework of the performed study, in some patients from the compared groups, spasm of the internal anal sphincter persisted throughout the observation period, and in some patients it occurred again, while no signs of relapse fissure were detected. The functional and clinical results of treatment obtained by us cast doubt on the exclusivity of the increased tone of the internal anal sphincter as the main link in the pathogenesis of chronic anal fissure in some patients and indicates the presence of other factors in combination with which the course of the disease is determined. …”

Effect of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and high phytase doses on performance, vitamin D status, bone mineralization, and mechanistic target of rapamycin gene expression of broilers by L.S. Bassi, C.C.S. Martins, C.A. Lozano-Poveda, I.C. Dias, S.G. Oliveira, A. Maiorka

“…Although both additives are known to improve dietary Ca and P utilization, there were no detected additive or synergic effects. The results suggested that the inclusion of 25-OH-D3 and phytase combined with regular vitamin D3 levels can help minimize losses of performance and bone mineralization of broilers fed Ca- and P-deficient diets. …”
