    Abstract Folate deficiencies, folate imbalance and associated abnormal methylation are associated with birth defects, developmental delays, neurological conditions and diseases. In the hydrocephalic Texas (H-Tx) rat, 10-formyl tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (FDH) is reduced or absent from the CSF and the nuclei of cells in the brain and liver and this is correlated with decreased DNA methylation. In the present study, we tested whether impaired folate metabolism or methylation exists in sexually mature, unaffected H-Tx rats, which may explain the propagation of hydrocephalus in their offspring. We compared normal Sprague Dawley (SD,

    Abstract In poultry nutrition, zinc supplementation is typically achieved through the addition of zinc oxide or zinc sulfate to the feed. The alternative approach of organic sources utilizes an organic ligand to bind zinc (Zn), resulting in higher bioavailability. Thus, a study was conducted to assess and compare the impact of a methionine-complexed Zn versus an inorganic Zn on growth, blood biochemical profile, gut histomorphology, and fecal excretion of Zn in broilers. The experimental design included two treatments: the addition of a zinc amino acid complex or zinc oxide to the basal diet. The zinc amino acid complex was supplemented at a dose equivalent to the inorganic zinc (Zn-80), while the organic zinc was provided at levels of 20, 40, and 80 mg/kg to a total of 400 broilers. There were five treatments in total, and each treatment was replicated four times. Broilers supplemented with an organic form of Zn at the level of 80 mg/kg had significantly (

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficiency of ultrasonography in the accurate diagnosis of benign ovarian lesions as compared to the gold standard Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Study Design: Prospective analytical cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Dow Institute of Radiology, Dow University of health sciences (DUHS), OJHA Campus, Karachi, Pakistan, from Jun 2018 to Nov 2019 Methodology: The consecutive sampling technique was used to recruit the patients. The frequency and percentage, and mean and standard deviation were calculated for qualitative and quantitative variables, respectively. The p-value <0.05 considered as significant. Results: Majority of the patients were aged ≥20 years (49.06%) and were obese (13.21%). Majority of the participants (88.68%) were married where 69.81% had normal menstrual status and 11.32% had menopause. On cross-tabulation, tumor status (Benign) was found to have a very high significant association with age and BMI at p-value <0.001 and menstrual status at pvalue 0.000. Benign lesions were most prevalent (60.47%) among 20-29 years old and the PPV is 92.86%; Diagnostic accuracy for this age group is 95.35%. PPV, NPV, sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy were 100 % for Underweight, premenopause patients with 16 to 30 days symptoms. Benign tumor was more prevalent among patients with normal BMI (93.48%), post-menopause (63.64%), symptoms’ duration of 1 to 3years (66.67%), single (37.06%) and cystic mass (49.52%). Conclusion: Ultrasonography showed excellent diagnostic accuracy in the detection of benign ovarian tumors.

    Abstract Coccidiosis is one of the most common infectious diseases seen in Japanese quails. The current study was conducted to evaluate the impact of tea tree essential oil (TTEO) on growth performance and intestinal health of quails in response to Eimeria tenella challenge. A total of 250 Japanese quails were divided into five treatments: untreated uninfected (negative control); untreated infected (positive control); infected + Amprolium; infected and 1% TTEO; infected and 2% TTEO. Except negative control, all groups were orally dosed with 5 × 10⁴ sporulated oocysts of E. tenella. The results revealed that supplementation of 1% TTEO and treatment of amprolium improved feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion ratio in infected quails compared to the positive control. Similarly, lesion score and mortality was significantly (p < 0.01) reduced in quails supplemented with 2% TTEO and amprolium treated birds. Moreover, oocysts counts and histological features of caecum in infected birds were reversed in 1% TTEO and amprolium treatment. The histological findings of amprolium and 1% TTEO supplemented quails showed intact intestinal villi with mild sloughed epithelium. In conclusion, 1% TTEO can be safely used to control coccidiosis in Japanese quails as natural effective compound.

    Abstract Marburg virus (MARV) has been a major concern since its first outbreak in 1967. Although the deadly BSL-4 pathogen has been reported in few individuals with sporadic outbreaks following 1967, its rarity commensurate the degree of disease severity. The virus has been known to cause extreme hemorrhagic fever presenting flu-like symptoms (as implicated in COVID-19) with a 90% case fatality rate (CFR). After a number of plausible evidences, it has been observed that the virus usually originates from African fruit bat,

    Abstract Metabolic disorders may be important potential causative pathways to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) decreasing output, raised intracranial pressure, and ventricular enlargement have all been linked to AD. Cerebral folate metabolism may be a key player since this is significantly affected by such changes in CSF, and genetic susceptibilities may exist in this pathway. In the current study, we aimed to identify whether any single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) affecting folate and the associated metabolic pathways were significantly associated with AD. We took a functional nutrigenomics approach to look for SNPs in genes for the linked folate, methylation, and biogenic amine neurotransmitter pathways. Changes in metabolism were found with the SNPs identified. An abnormal SNP in methylene tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (

    Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly evolving technology with a wide range of potential applications, but the security of IoT networks remains a major concern. The existing system needs improvement in detecting intrusions in IoT networks. Several researchers have focused on intrusion detection systems (IDS) that address only one layer of the three-layered IoT architecture, which limits their effectiveness in detecting attacks across the entire network. To address these limitations, this paper proposes an intelligent IDS for IoT networks based on deep learning algorithms. The proposed model consists of a recurrent neural network and gated recurrent units (RNN-GRU), which can classify attacks across the physical, network, and application layers. The proposed model is trained and tested using the ToN-IoT dataset, specifically collected for a three-layered IoT system, and includes new types of attacks compared to other publicly available datasets. The performance analysis of the proposed model was carried out by a number of evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-measure. Two optimization techniques, Adam and Adamax, were applied in the evaluation process of the model, and the Adam performance was found to be optimal. Moreover, the proposed model was compared with various advanced deep learning (DL) and traditional machine learning (ML) techniques. The results show that the proposed system achieves an accuracy of 99% for network flow datasets and 98% for application layer datasets, demonstrating its superiority over previous IDS models.

    Abstract Abstract Developing countries lack studies investigated the socioeconomic and parental role on students’ learning skills. This study is helpful to detect bottlenecks in the foundational learning skills (reading skills and numeracy skills) in the education system of Pakistan. Reading skills of children are found better who had no functional disabilities. Mothers with higher education had a significant positive contribution toward children learning skills. Children deprived of books for reading in appropriate language had a negative impact on their reading skills. Rich children had predominantly higher possibilities of good learning skills than poor children. Parents who had not attended children’s school to discuss child progress had a significantly negative effect on children’s numeracy skills. Overall parental involvement in some forms had insignificantly improved children reading and numeracy skills in Punjab, Pakistan.
