Adopting innovative nutritional strategies, such as microalgae blend supplementation, can help reduce the detrimental effects of heat stress (HS) in poultry farming. This study was designed to explore the effects of different dietary levels of microalgae blend containing nannochloropsis oculate, schizochytrium and amphora coffesformis on modulating growth performance, muscle's antioxidant status, lipid profile and the expression of heat shock proteins and sirtuins family related genes in heat-stressed chicks. A total of 250 one-day-old chicks were randomly assigned to five experimental groups, with five replicates of 10 birds each: a control group reared under normal environmental conditions and fed a basal diet; HS group exposed to heat stress and fed a basal diet; and three HS groups supplemented with a microalgae blend at 2.

Large-scale production of squabs necessitates good planning of nutritional regimen comprising novel feed additives that boost their production. Herein, the combined impact of dietary glutamine and L-carnitine was evaluated on breeding pigeons' reproductive performance and squab's productive performance, profitability, antioxidants and quantifying expression of myogenic, nutrient transporters and lipogenesis related genes. Six-month-old Baladi pigeons (100 pairs) were divided into four treatments, control, Glutamine, L-carnitine and Glut@L-carnitine groups which were fed basal diet fortified with 5 gm/kg diet Glutamine, 60 mg kg diet L-carnitine or combined Glutamine and L-carnitine with the same levels.

The medicinal application of pomegranate peel extract enriched with polyphenols (PPE) as a therapeutic strategy for managing inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is still limited. Integrating pomegranate peel extract (PPE) into an effective nanocarrier system could enhance its mechanistic actions, potentially aiding in the remission of colitis. Therefore, this approach aimed to enhance PPE's stability and bioavailability and investigate mitigating impact of pomegranate peel extract-loaded nanoparticles (PPE-NPs) in a colitis model.

Background: Nowadays, broilers reared in intensive farming become more susceptible to oxidative stress, which impairs their performance and the quality of their products. Arginine (G) is a crucial amino acid for chickens and feeding on arginine beyond the recommended levels has been shown to positively impact the growth performance of broiler chickens and their immunity. Olive leaves phenolic extract (OLE) is a natural source of powerful antioxidants.

Background: In Yemen, effective early detection and a comprehensive grasp of breast cancer symptoms and risk factors are vital in preventing its potentially deadly spread. However, challenges arise in combating breast cancer in Yemen due to the lack of patient registries, national strategies, and structured cancer treatment plans.
Objective: This research sought to evaluate the awareness levels of breast cancer and the perceived obstacles to breast cancer screening among adult Yemeni women.
