Epidemiological observations on pastern dermatitis in young horses and evaluation of essential fatty acid spot‐on applications with or without phytosphingosine as prophylactic treatment [PDF]
Background Equine pastern dermatitis (EPD) is a common multifactorial clinical syndrome in horses. Treatment can be difficult; pathogenesis and triggering factors cannot always be determined. Objectives To assess risk factors for developing EPD in a large group of horses kept under the same conditions and to analyse whether or not a spot‐on containing ...

Fruiting Bodies of Aspergillus in a Cavitary Lung Mass: A Rare Finding on Fine Needle Aspiration. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided fine needle aspiration is a modality for diagnosing lung nodules as well as fungal organisms. One of the most frequently isolated fungal organisms from immunocompromised patients or immunocompetent patients with severe COPD is Aspergillus spp., which is characterized by septate hyphae with progressive ...

In the nectar, there are answers: exploring the intersection of colored nectars and reactive oxygen species in manipulating pollinator behavior. [PDF]
Summary Nectar, a vital mediator of plant–pollinator interactions, exhibits remarkable chemical diversity beyond sugars, including reactive oxygen species and specialized metabolites such as pigments. Colored nectars, present in over 70 species, function as visual signals, inhibitors of microbial growth, or nutritional rewards, underscoring their ...

We discuss the conversion of lignocellulose hydrolysate and crude glycerol to yeast lipids, carotenoids, biosurfactants and other compounds, which can be converted to food and feed, biofuels and biochemicals. Aspects of system analysis, cultivation, lipid analysis and strain diversity are highlighted.

Copepods' true colors: astaxanthin pigmentation as an indicator of fitness
Abstract Pigmentation is often overlooked in zooplankton, since these organisms are mostly colorless to fit the translucid water medium. However, one of the dominant zooplankton taxa in aquatic ecosystems—copepods—often show a bright red‐orange or blue coloration owing to the accumulation of carotenoid pigments in some parts of their bodies.
