Evaluation of Treatment Patterns and Maintenance Dose Titration Among Patients With Crohn’s Disease Initiating Biologics With 3 Years of Follow-Up by Ruizhi Zhao, Zhijie Ding, Parul Gupta, Laurence Gozalo, Robert Bruette, Victor M. Johnson, Keshia Maughn, Yihang Liu, Sumesh Kachroo

“…**Conclusions:** Patients with CD on UST had the highest persistence and lowest dose escalation across different biologic users over the 3-year follow-up period, possibly suggesting a better clinical response of UST. Future studies with longer follow-up adjusting for confounders are needed to better understand treatment patterns among biologics users.…”

Interaction of dietary replacements of fishmeal by protein blend and feeding frequency on growth performance and protein utilization of gibel carp (Carassius gibelio var. CAS V) by Yongning Yu, Yu Wang, Junyan Jin, Dong Han, Xiaoming Zhu, Haokun Liu, Zhimin Zhang, Yunxia Yang, Shouqi Xie

“…Overall, feeding frequency interacted synergistically with blended proteins to influence growth and protein utilization in gibel carp, and a protein blend with a ratio of 1:1:6:4 was a superior alternative to fishmeal at both feeding frequencies. Future strategies aimed at replacing dietary fishmeal should consider the role of feeding frequency as a critical factor.…”
