Different lysine-to-methionine ratios in a low-protein diet affect the microbiome and metabolome, influencing the jejunal barrier function in Tibetan sheep by Fengshuo Zhang, Zhenling Wu, Yu Zhang, Quyangangmao Su, Kaina Zhu, Xuan Chen, Shengzhen Hou, Linsheng Gui

“…These groups were supplemented with different Lys/Met ratios of 3 [low protein-high methionine (LP-H)], 2 [low protein-medium methionine (LP-M)], and 1 [low protein-low methionine (LP-L)] in the basal diet (10% crude protein). The feeding trial lasted 100 days, including a 10-day acclimation period and a 90-day experimental period.ResultsThe hematoxylin–eosin (H&E) sections showed that the LP-L group had a significantly increased villus height compared to the LP-M and LP-H groups (p < 0.05). …”

Evidence-informed language: interpretation and impact on intentions to treat – results of an online survey of medical students and specialists in German-speaking countries by Sven Benson, Reinhard Griebenow, Justine Schmidt, Henrik Herrmann

“…However, use of the subjunctive mood (‘could’) resulted in 87.3% correct differentiations. (2) Even with only four types of clinical practice recommendations (positive/negative and strong/weak), interpretation and translation into intention to treat, respectively, showed a heterogeneous picture: while the presentation of a strong clinical recommendation led to largely congruent responses, the interpretation of weak recommendations showed a high variability, with no clear response pattern for intentions to treat. …”

Physiological and image-based phenotyping assessment of waterlogging responses of three kiwifruit rootstocks and grafting combinations by Maria Calabritto, Alba N. Mininni, Roberto Di Biase, Angelo Petrozza, Stephan Summerer, Francesco Cellini, Bartolomeo Dichio

“…In turn, leaf temperature was significantly increased and photosynthesis was reduced (1–6 μmol m−2 s−1) from the first days of waterlogging stress compared to B rootstock and combination.DiscussionThe B rootstock showed prolonged leaf gas exchange and photosynthetic activity, indicating that it can cope with short-term and temporary waterlogging and improve the tolerance of grafted kiwi vines, which showed a decrease in stomatal conductance 5 days after the onset of stress. …”
