Summary: This research describes the histological alterations caused by Henneguya species in African sharptooth catfish, as well as molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis. The study found that 27.5% of the fish were infested by Henneguya species, with a higher prevalence in the gills. The parasitism of the gill and dendritic tissues resulted in histopathological characteristics.

Summary: The study demonstrated that contraction is strongly regulated by extracellular Ca2+ and the ventricular tissue of African catfish is responsive to beta-adrenergic stimulation, improving cardiac pumping capacity. The expression patterns of NCX, SERCA, and PLN in African catfish myocardium indicate both mechanisms for Ca2+ transport contribute to Ca2+ activator.

Summary: Catfish production is a major aquaculture industry in the Southern United States, but high mortality rates and economic losses are often caused by bacterial pathogens. Co-infections of multiple bacterial fish pathogens may alter infection dynamics and complicate disease management.

Summary: This study examined the pathology caused by the parasite Macrogyrodactylus congolensis on the skin of the African freshwater fish Clarias gariepinus. The results showed that the infected skin exhibited excessive mucus production, enlarged cells, and varying thickness of the epidermal layer. The parasite pierced through the host's skin, resulting in tearing, and was observed to feed on host skin tissue.

Summary: The study demonstrated that adding 0.60 g/kg of probiotics to diets for Rhamdia quelen enhances its growth performance and physiological status. However, adding 0.30 g/kg may have detrimental effects on certain physiological parameters.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of haloperidol on the African Sharptooth Catfish. The results showed that haloperidol caused the formation of micronuclei in the fish blood, with an increase in concentration and duration. Haloperidol significantly reduced serotonin activity but increased dopamine activity. However, some parameters recovered after a 5-day withdrawal period.

Summary: Oral omega-3 supplementation significantly increased serum albumin concentrations in hospitalized patients with cancer, patients on dialysis, and those with hypoalbuminemia. Favorable effects on pre-albumin levels were observed in cancer patients and patients with gastrointestinal and hepatologic diseases. However, no significant effect on the CRP/albumin ratio was found.

Summary: Fishes of the River Nile, such as catfishes, are a valuable source of animal protein. The present study focused on the taxonomical features of Acanthostomum spiniceps parasites found in these fishes, revealing new morphological characteristics and shedding light on their possible functions. The study also discussed the damages caused by digenean parasites to the gut tissue of the fish hosts.

Summary: This study evaluated the relationships between the albumin/globulin ratio (AGR), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and clinicopathological information for gastric cancer patients, as well as the prognostic values of these hematological parameters for resectable gastric cancer patients. The results showed that AGR, NLR, and PLR are independent risk factors associated with poor survival in gastric cancer patients.
