Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) drug efficacy study landscape: A systematic scoping review of clinical trials and observational studies to assess the feasibility of esta... by Sauman Singh-Phulgenda, Rishikesh Kumar, Prabin Dahal, Abdalla Munir, Sumayyah Rashan, Rutuja Chhajed, Caitlin Naylor, Brittany J Maguire, Niyamat Ali Siddiqui, Eli Harriss, Manju Rahi, Fabiana Alves, Shyam Sundar, Kasia Stepniewska, Ahmed Musa, Philippe J Guerin, Krishna Pandey

“…Ten other drug regimens were tested in 270 patients with less than 60 patients per regimen.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Our review identified studies with very limited sample size for the three major drugs (miltefosine, L-AmB, and pentavalent antimony), while the number of patients combined across studies suggest that the IPD platform would be valuable. …”

Niacin alters ruminal microbial composition and metabolites in sheep fed a high-concentrate diet by Zhiqiang Cheng, Jiancheng Liu, Yingying Yu, Wentao Liu, Xiaobin Li, Fengming Li, Changjiang Zang, Kailun Yang

“…The concentrations of NH3-N (p &lt; 0.01), propionate (p &lt; 0.01), and butyrate (p &lt; 0.05) in the NA group were significantly higher than those in the CON group. (3) Compared to the CON group, the ruminal pyruvate content in the NA group was significantly increased at 0 h before feeding (p &lt; 0.05), and lactic acid (p &lt; 0.05) was significantly decreased at 1 and 3 h after feeding, lactate dehydrogenase activities was significantly decreased (p &lt; 0.01) at 3 and 5 h after feeding. (4) The number of specific operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in the CON and NA groups were 26 and 37, respectively, for a total of 1,178 OTUs; principal coordinate analysis (R2 = 0.172, p-value = 0.007) and non-metric multidimensional scaling (stress = 0.1646) results showed that the two groups of samples were significantly separated. (5) The species distribution bar graph shows that at the phylum level, the relative abundances of Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria were 43.70, 36.25, and 12.77%, respectively. (6) Orthogonal projection to latent structure-discriminant analysis results showed that the two groups of samples were clearly separated in the positive and negative ionization modes, with R2Y and Q2Y values of 0.705, 0.857, 0.695, and 0.28, respectively. …”
