Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Optimal Hedging Strategies in the Low‐Sulphur Bunker Fuel Landscape

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The IMO2020 regulation for the green transition in shipping turned the industry into using two compliant bunker fuels: very low‐sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and low‐sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO). VLSFO futures contracts introduced in late 2019 and other energy‐related futures contracts indicate that the VLSFO contracts trading on the Singapore ...

Update on innovative surgical techniques for omphalectomy in foals

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Umbilical infection is a common foal disorder, prone to complications, requiring surgical excision in severe cases. Timely surgical excision is the treatment of choice in these cases, as the infected umbilicus places the foal at risk for further fatal complications, such as sepsis and septic arthritis.

Complications and outcomes of standing flank versus ventral midline laparotomy for equine nephrosplenic entrapment

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Nephrosplenic entrapment (NSE) is a common surgical colic in horses. Ventral midline laparotomy (VML) under general anaesthesia (GA) is the standard approach, whereas standing flank laparotomy (SFL) is an alternative approach for surgical correction. However, direct comparisons between these approaches are lacking.

Assessment of Monomer Release From Resin Composites Following the Use of Various Modeling Liquids

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The chemical composition of resin composites and the use of modeling liquids may influence the release of residual monomer, potentially impacting biocompatibility. This in vitro study evaluated the effect of different modeling liquids on the elution of monomers from two resin composites.
