Determinants of Body Mass Index in Early Systemic Sclerosis: Implications for Nutritional Risk Stratification

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement can lead to malnutrition in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Body mass index (BMI) remains the most widely used marker to screen nutritional status. We aimed to identify predictors of lower BMI in patients with SSc. Methods Patients with SSc from a prospective US cohort meeting 2013 American College of

Dynamics of protozoal excretion in the faeces of calves during the first 28 days after arrival at the fattening farm indicate infection before regrouping and show poor temporal correlation with diarrhoea

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Calves in dairy cattle production in Switzerland are transported to a fattening farm at the age of 3–5 weeks, and frequently suffer from diarrhoea within the first 14 days after arrival. To characterise the role of intestinal protozoa in this,

Opportunities and Challenges for Cow/Calf Producers [PDF]

, 2008
The cow/calf enterprise has been a profitable enterprise over the last few years. Weaned calf prices have been unprecedented. It wasn’t that long ago that 500 pound calves sold for $60 per hundred-weight.

3D‐Printed Titanium Gyroid Scaffold Structure Integrated With Tough Hybrid Materials for Cartilage Replacement

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a potential device design for joint cartilage replacement. Silica‐polytetrahydrofuran (SiO2‐PolyTHF) hybrids with customizable mechanical properties were developed to mimic the characteristics of a natural meniscus. These were synthesized through a two‐pot sol–gel hybrid process.

Preventing Perinatal Beef Calf Mortality [PDF]

, 2011
Perinatal calf mortality (PCM) refers to death loss from the time of calving through the first month of life. Previous USDA estimates put this loss at over 2.7 million calves ($976 million) annually, with nearly 70 percent coming within four days of ...

Genetically Programmed Shape‐Morphing of Engineered Living Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, bacterial and mammalian engineered living materials (ELMs) are presented, in which living cells direct genetically programmed and enzymatically mediated shape‐morphing. The resulting deformation and shape‐recovery can be actuated in a genetically controlled manner by an ELM incorporating out‐of‐equilibrium counteracting biochemical reactions with

The association of lung consolidation and respiratory pathogens identified at weaning on the growth performance of beef-on-dairy calves

Journal of Dairy Science
: This observational study evaluated the relationship between lung consolidation (LC) observed at weaning and calf ADG, and the association of pathogen shedding at weaning on ADG in beef × dairy calves up to 238 d.

NeuroVisio SyncPatch: A Skin‐Conformal Multimodal EMG–Motion Sensing Platform for Quantitative Neuromuscular Rehabilitation and Performance Monitoring

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
NeuroVisio SyncPatch integrates skin‐conformal electromyography (EMG) electrodes with camera‐tracked markers to jointly assess muscle activity and three‐dimensional knee kinematics during rehabilitation. Parallel feedback pathways provide real‐time kinematic guidance during movement and post‐trial neuromuscular feedback.

A mixed-methods survey of dairy veterinarians' attitudes toward and experiences with social and individual housing of the preweaning dairy calf in the United States and Canada

Journal of Dairy Science
: Although most dairy calves are housed individually during the preweaning period in the United States and Canada, there is increased interest in various ways to socially house calves.
