Gut Microbiota Signatures and Ecological Network Alterations Associated with Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis (HD) is the most widely used renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and is frequently accompanied by long-term complications that impair quality of life, including metabolic and inflammatory disturbances. Growing evidence suggests...

Effects of Replacing Concentrate Feed with Carob (Ceratonia siliqua) Pods on Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, Meat Quality, and Rumen Fermentation in Assaf Lambs

This study examined the effects of replacing 25% (P25) or 50% (P50) of concentrate dry matter (DM) with sun-dried carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) pods on growth performance, apparent nutrient digestibility, carcass traits, meat quality, serum biochemistry, and rumen microbiology in...

Long-Term Monitoring of Coastal Afforestation Dynamics and Fire-Induced Biomass and Carbon Loss Using Landsat Time Series in Northwestern Tunisia

Coastal dune ecosystems play an essential role in shoreline stabilization, biodiversity conservation, and carbon storage, but they are increasingly threatened by human activities and climate-related disturbances. This study assessed long-term forest vegetation dynamics in restore...

Comparative effects of isometric and plyometric training on neuromuscular performance and postural balance in male soccer players (U-19): A randomized controlled trial

Purpose This study investigated the effects of an 8-week isometric strength training at multiple joint angles (IST) vs. loaded plyometric training (PT) on physical and balance performances in youth soccer players (U19). Methods Forty-five male players (age: 18.06 ± 0.78 years) we...
