On the Question of Sporadic or Atypical Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
Strategies to investigate the possible existence of sporadic bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) require systematic testing programs to identify cases in countries considered to have little or no risk of orally acquired disease or to detect a stable ...

Electrical and Spectroscopic Diagnostics as Real‐Time Metallization Indicators During Hydrogen Plasma Smelting Reduction

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study explores hydrogen plasma smelting reduction of hematite, revealing how arc current governs plasma stability, metallization kinetics, and electrical behavior. Real‐time electrical and optical diagnostics uncover sharp voltage transitions, plasma–metal interactions, and spectroscopic markers of iron formation, offering new insight into ...

Comparative Safety Profiles of Ocrelizumab and Rituximab in Multiple Sclerosis Treatment Using Real‐World Evidence

Annals of Neurology, Volume 99, Issue 1, Page 248-260, January 2026.
Objective The objective of this study was to compare the long‐term safety profiles of ocrelizumab and rituximab in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods Using retrospective data from the University of California (UC) Health System, we simulated a target clinical trial. The primary cohort from UC San Francisco (UCSF) and a validation cohort from

Advice on animal and public health risks of insects reared on former foodstuffs as raw material for animal feed

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In the coming decades, there is expected to be a sharply increased demand for dietary proteins for humans and animals. As a result, there is an increasing focus on reared insects as a new source of protein. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), the use of food chain residual flows such as former foodstuffs as

Surveillance and simulation of bovine spongiform encephalopathy and scrapie in small ruminants in Switzerland

BMC Veterinary Research, 2010
Background After bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) emerged in European cattle livestock in 1986 a fundamental question was whether the agent established also in the small ruminants' population.

Decoding Cryogenic Deformation Mechanisms in High‐Entropy Alloys: A Comprehensive Review of Microstructural Evolution, Strengthening‐Toughening Synergy, and Serrated Flow Dynamics

cMat, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT High‐entropy alloys (HEAs) exhibit exceptional mechanical properties under cryogenic conditions, defying the conventional strength‐ductility trade‐off observed in traditional metal. This review systematically consolidates recent advancements in understanding the deformation mechanisms, microstructural dynamics, and anomalous mechanical ...

Expanding the Tephrochronological Record in the Alps: Discovery of the Laacher See Tephra in Lake Plansee (Austria)

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract We present the first documented occurrence of the Laacher See tephra (LST) in the Eastern Alps, identified in lake Plansee, Austria. The LST is a key chronostratigraphic marker for correlating and dating Late Glacial sedimentary archives. This discovery was made by progressively narrowing down observational limits from rough estimates of ...

Discovery of a new inland population of Leptoconops noei in Italy with sequencing of the first complete mitochondrial genome for the genus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 817-828, December 2025.
The genus Leptoconops is poorly investigated, despite its ecological relevance and biting nuisance. The studies in Italy focused only on the coastal areas. Inland populations of Leptoconops noei are documented for the first time in Italy. We record their presence in an area covering Siena district, Tuscany region, in an atypical environment for the ...

Bovine adapted transmissible mink encephalopathy is similar to L-BSE after passage through sheep with the VRQ/VRQ genotype but not VRQ/ARQ

BMC Veterinary Research, 2020
Background Transmissible mink encephalopathy (TME) is a fatal neurologic disease of farmed mink. Evidence indicates that TME and L-BSE are similar and may be linked in some outbreaks of TME.
