Correlations Between Incidence of Foot Pad Lesions and Body Weight of Broilers in Different Rearing Systems [PDF]
The incidence of foot pad lesions of broilers of moderate growth was investigated in order to establish correlations with body weight. Broilers were reared until the age of 42 days in the floor system in the poultry house and then were divided into two ...

Prediction of total body water in infants and children
Background: In paediatric clinical practice treatment is often adjusted in relation to body size, for example the calculation of pharmacological and dialysis dosages. In addition to use of body weight, for some purposes total body water (TBW) and surface

Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Correlation between body measurements of gazella marica fawns after weaning and estimating body weight from these measurements [PDF]
This study aims to find out for the first time the change in body measurements of gazelle fawns from birth to weaning and the estimation of live weight based on body measurements (BW, BL, CC, CD, AC, SH) of a total of 42 fawns, 17 female and 25 male ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Background Body weight self-perception refers to the level of agreement between an individual’s perceived and actual weight status. Body weight congruence (BWC) indicates the correct perception of one’s body weight compared with its actual value ...
