Streptococcosis is a serious bacterial disease responsible for significant economic losses in wild and farmed fishes It is the second disease threat to O. niloticus. Several species of Streptococcus have been reported worldwide as etiological agents of the disease. Also, other related bacterial species such as Lactococcus garvieae, Vagococcus salmoninarum, and Enterococcous faecalis with varied degrees of pathogenicity have been implicated in streptococcal infection. Streptococcosisis characterized by hemorrhagic septicemia, pop eye, nervous manifestation, abnormal swimming behavior, and high mortalities. Control of Streptococcosis is principally achieved by implementing some preventive measures and treatment with antibiotics and to a lesser extent vaccination. Probiotics and immunostimulants can be used to enhance host immunity against the infection with some success. The majority of streptococcal species exhibited multiple antimicrobial resistance; thus, vaccination appears to be the most effective method of controlling in aquaculture. This present review summarizes some aspects of Streptococcosis such as history, epidemiology, diagnosis, and possible control measures in cultured O. niloticus and its status in Egypt Aquaculture Egypt Nile tilapia Streptococcosis Vaccine
Lumbar canal stenosis is a common disease with disabling sequences to the patient either due to the disease itself or due to the common surgical procedures which aim to decompress the canal but with much common complications due to removal of the posterior complex (bone and ligaments) of the stenosed segment causing more chance for instability of the spine, much trauma to the other tissues (e.g. muscles of the back on both sides), much scare tissue formation, dead space, postoperative pain and impaired quality of life. The microscopic bilateral decompression by only unilateral laminectomy aims to preserve stability by preserving midline structures like spinous process, intraspinous and supra spinous ligaments and facet joint besides proper dural and foraminal decompression. In this study, it was noticed that this procedure produce proper decompression of segmental spinal stenosis regarding post operative radiological studies, which revealed adequate decompression of the stenosed segment regarding measuring canal cross-sectional area and dimensions both pre and postoperative, and clinically regarding estimating clinical improvement of the patients by estimating low back pain and lower limb pain by visual analogue scale before and after the operation with follow up after one week, 3 months and 6 months, which revealed proper clinical improvement. Patient quality of life was estimated by using Oswestry Disability Index and questionnaire, pre and postoperative after one week, 3 months and 6 months, which revealed proper improvement of the quality of patient life after such procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
