Exploring the distribution of polymorphism across diverse breeds Worldwide in the bovine NR5A2 gene and its correlation with number of mature follicles and corpus albicans [PDF]
Animal BiotechnologyThe Nuclear receptor subfamily 5 group A member 2 (NR5A2) gene plays a pivotal role in ovarian development, ovulation, and reproductive traits. There is a lack of studies on its impact on ovarian traits and reproductive traits in cattle. This study aimed

Recalcitrant Fungal Prosthetic Joint Infection of the Knee Cleared Using Voriconazole via Intra-Articular Catheters. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a high‐cost and high‐morbidity complication of total joint arthroplasty accounting for about 1%–2% of all joint replacements. Rarely, a fungal pathogen may cause coinfection or superinfection and complicate treatment.

Discovery of sexual dimorphism of the laryngeal sac in the common minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Mysticetes, or baleen whales, have an air sac on the ventral surface of the larynx known as the “laryngeal sac.” The primary hypothesis regarding this structure's function is that it is involved in sound production. However, several other functions have been proposed, including air recycling, air storage, and even buoyancy control.
