ABSTRACT Functional longevity (FL) is a complex trait that integrates many attributes directly contributing to the successful retention and productivity of a cow within the herd. Consequently, improving FL in beef cattle increases herd profitability. This study aimed to estimate the genetic associations between two alternative FL definitions and traits

Arterial Stiffness and Trace Elements in Apparently Healthy Population-A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Introduction: Stiffening of arteries is a natural ageing process. Any diseases/disorders or risk factors that escalate oxidative stress, microvascular inflammation and endothelial damage may promote to premature vascular stiffening.

Genome scan for postmortem carcass traits in Nellore cattle [PDF]
Abstract Carcass traits measured after slaughter are economically relevant traits in beef cattle. In general, the slaughter house payment system is based on HCW. Ribeye area (REA) is associated with the amount of the meat in the carcass, and a minimum of backfat thickness (BFT) is necessary to protect the carcass during cooling.

Genetic Evaluation for Functional Longevity in Nellore Cattle
ABSTRACT Stayability (STAY) presents limitations in capturing genetic variability among animals with varying calving records up to 76 months of age. Furthermore, because STAY is measured late in life (typically at 6 years of age), it inherently prolongs generation intervals.

Variants at the ASIP locus contribute to coat color darkening in Nellore cattle [PDF]
Background: Nellore cattle (Bos indicus) are well-known for their adaptation to warm and humid environments. Hair length and coat color may impact heat tolerance.

ABSTRACT Heat stress imposes significant challenges to welfare, health, and productivity of lactating sows due to their limited thermoregulatory capacity and increased metabolic heat load. Genetic selection for improved heat tolerance is a promising yet complex approach, given the large number of biological processes involved in heat stress response ...

Morgagni’s hernia in a woman with bronchial asthma [PDF]
A 59-year-old, other wise asymptomatic lady known to have bronchial asthma was found to have an anterior mediastinal mass on a chest radiograph incidentally obtained as a part of pre-operative work-up for cataract surgery.

Melatonin: A Novel Indolamine in Oral Health and Disease
This paper attempts to summarise the findings accumulated within the last few years concerning the hormone of darkness “melatonin.” Based on its origin, from the pineal gland until recently it was portrayed exclusively as a hormone. Due to its lipophilic
