The role of the serum tube agglutination test in the monitoring of human brucellosis: evaluation of post-treatment SAT titers.
Positive results of the serum tube agglutination test that persist after treatment may be interpreted by clinicians as treatment failures. Therefore, our study examined the value of serum tube agglutination test in demonstrating treatment success. ⋯ Although serum tube agglutination test is an effective and very successful test in the diagnosis of brucellosis, our study shows that serum tube agglutination test is not useful in demonstrating the treatment success of human brucellosis in the early post-treatment period.

The effectiveness of berberine on noise-induced hearing loss: a rat model.
Noise-induced hearing loss is a preventable form of hearing loss that has serious social and economic impacts. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of berberine, a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, against Noise-induced hearing loss. ⋯ The histopathological and audiological findings of this experimental study showed that berberine provides protection in Noise-induced hearing loss and may have the potential for use in acoustic trauma-related hearing losses.
