Performance productiva, calidad interna y externa del huevo en Codornices alimentadas con inulina en dietas normales y bajas en calcio

Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina. Facultad de Zootecnia. Departamento Académico de NutriciónEl objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el efecto de la adición de inulina en dietas con niveles normales y bajos en calcio sobre la performance productiva, la calidad interna y externa del huevo en codornices de postura de 10 semanas de edad. Sesenta y cuatro codornices de la subespecie Coturnix coturnix japonica, fueron distribuidas en cuatro tratamientos con cuatro repeticiones y 4 animales por repetición. Los tratamientos fueron: T1, dieta basal con niveles normales de calcio (3.16%) sin inulina; T2, dieta basal con niveles normales de calcio (3.16%) con inulina (0.5%); T3, dieta basal con niveles bajos de calcio (2.37%) sin inulina, y T4, dieta basal con niveles bajos de calcio (2.37%) con inulina (0.5%). Los principales parámetros de producción fueron registrados. Al final del experimento se colectaron huevos por cada tratamiento para evaluar la calidad interna y externa. Los datos fueron analizados bajo un diseño completamente al azar (DCA) con arreglo factorial 2 x 2, considerando dos niveles de calcio (2.37 y 3.16%) y dos niveles de inulina (0.0 y 0.5%), y se utilizó el test de Tukey para la comparación de medias. En parámetros productivos no hubo diferencia significativa entre el tratamiento bajo en calcio con inulina y el tratamiento con nivel normal de calcio sin inulina y así mismo el nivel de calcio tuvo efecto sobre el consumo de alimento. En calidad externa del huevo, la inulina tuvo influencia sobre el índice de forma del huevo, siendo mayor con un valor de 0.5% de inulina. En calidad interna del huevo, se tuvieron menores valores en el diámetro de yema con un nivel de 2.37 % de calcio. En conclusión, con la adición de inulina al 0.5 % en dietas con niveles bajos de calcio, se obtienen parámetros de producción similares a dietas con niveles normales de calcioThe objective of study was to evaluate the effect of adding inulin to diets with normal and low calcium levels on productive performance, external and internal egg quality in 10- week-old laying quail. Sixty-four laying quail belonging to the subspecies Coturnix coturnix japonica were used, distributed in four treatments with four repetitions and 4 animals per repetition. Each group received one of the following treatments: T1, basal diet with normal calcium levels (3.16%) without inulin; T2, basal diet with normal calcium levels (3.16%) with inulin (0.5%); T3, low calcium basal diet (2.37%) without inulin, and T4, low calcium basal diet (2.37%) with inulin (0.5%). The main production parameters were recorded. At the end of experiment, eggs were collected for each treatment to evaluate the internal and external quality. Data were analyzed under a completely randomized design (DCA) with a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement, considering two levels of calcium (2.37 and 3.16%) and two levels of inulin (0.0 and 0.5%), and it was used Tukey's test for comparison of means. Results showed that in productive parameters that there was no significant difference between low calcium treatment with inulin and treatment with normal level calcium without inulin and calcium level had an effect on feed consumption. In external egg quality, inulin had an influence on the egg shape index, being higher with a value of 0.5% inulin. In egg internal quality there were lower values in yolk diameter with a level of 2.37% of calcium. In conclusion, with the addition of 0.5% inulin in diets with low calcium levels, production parameters similar to diets with normal calcium levels are obtained

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat
