Genome Analysis of Staphylococcus agnetis, an Agent of Lameness in Broiler Chickens. [PDF]
Lameness in broiler chickens is a significant animal welfare and financial issue. Lameness can be enhanced by rearing young broilers on wire flooring. We have identified Staphylococcus agnetis as significantly involved in bacterial chondronecrosis with ...

Imaging appearance of a post-intubation cricoid chondronecrosis
Chondronecrosis is a known complication of external beam radiation therapy and endotracheal intubation. Radiation therapy is the most common cause of chondronecrosis owing to local cartilage ischaemia following treatment. Prolonged endotracheal intubation can lead to chondronecrosis as it is associated with excessive pressure on the cartilage by the ...

Osteo-chondroprogenitor-specific deletion of the selenocysteine tRNA gene, Trsp, leads to chondronecrosis and abnormal skeletal development: a putative model for Kashin-Beck disease. [PDF]
Kashin-Beck disease, a syndrome characterized by short stature, skeletal deformities, and arthropathy of multiple joints, is highly prevalent in specific regions of Asia.

Optimum Time to Add the Feed Additive Availa-ZMC to Reduce the Incidence of Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis Lameness in Broiler Chickens [PDF]
Lameness is a health condition threatening the welfare of broiler chickens in the poultry industry. It can be caused by a bacterial infection called Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis (BCO).

A novel psittacine adenovirus identified during an outbreak of avian chlamydiosis and human psittacosis: zoonosis associated with virus-bacterium coinfection in birds [PDF]
Chlamydophila psittaci is found worldwide, but is particularly common among psittacine birds in tropical and subtropical regions. While investigating a human psittacosis outbreak that was associated with avian chlamydiosis in Hong Kong, we identified a ...

Investigating the Prevalence of Enterotoxin and Antibiotic Resistance in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Isolated From Meat and Edible Viscera of Broiler Chickens. [PDF]
The results indicated high prevalence of MRSA in broilers, which is very worrying issue. It was observed that due to the increase in the use of antibiotics in poultry farming, bacteria resistant to methicillin and other antibiotics have a high prevalence.

Pre- and post-radiotherapy MRI results as a predictive model for response in laryngeal carcinoma [PDF]
The purpose was to determine if pre-radiotherapy (RT) and/or post-radiotherapy magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can predict response in patients with laryngeal carcinoma treated with RT. Pre- and post-RT MR examinations of 80 patients were retrospectively
