Impact of Fetoscopic Surgery on the Myometrium: Experimental Study in an Ovine Model of Myelomeningocele

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate uterine healing at delivery after fetoscopic myelomeningocele (MMC) closure in an ovine model. Methods This descriptive study was conducted in Romane ewes. Fetal MMC lesions were created after hysterotomy at 75 days of gestation.

A simplified superovulation protocol using split-single administration of Folltropin®-V in hyaluronan: application to purebred sheep

Veterinární Medicína, 2018
Superovulation is an important step in assisted reproductive technology. Due to its short half-life, follicle stimulating hormone is usually given twice daily to ewes for three to five days, which is both time- and labour-intensive.

MRI in Sheep Model for Myelomeningocele Repair Using a Novel Polymer and Other Dural Patches

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare postnatal MRI outcomes after prenatal myelomeningocele repair using three different dural substitutes. Method 32 sheep fetuses were included, with 34.3%(11/32) serving as healthy controls and the remaining undergoing prenatal spinal lumbar defect creation to recreate a myelomeningocele in the fetus.

The air pollutant phenanthrene disrupts calcium cycling and alters repolarization in female sheep ventricular cardiomyocytes

Physiological Reports
Multiple epidemiological studies link cardiac dysfunction with increased levels of air pollution. While cellular mechanisms underlying such dysfunction are yet to be fully elucidated, a proposed mediator of this effect is phenanthrene, a 3‐ringed ...

Ovine interleukin 12 has biological activity on ovine and human activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells

, 2000
Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of two subunits that form the biologically active p70 molecule, and is a potent inducer of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IFN-gamma. In this study the coding sequence for ovine interleukin 12 p35

Ovine Toxoplasmosis in Sweden

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1983
Sera from 155 ewes representing 21 different sheep flocks from the central parts of Sweden were examined for the presence of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii by the indirect fluorescent-antibody test. Seropositive animals were found in 14 flocks, which corresponded to 55 % of the tested sera.

Ecotoxicological Insights From Ex Vivo Exposure of Whole Blood to PFOS and Glyphosate: Oxidative Stress and Immune Disruption

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the immunomodulatory effects of PFOS and glyphosate (GLY), both individually and in combination, on the whole blood of three ruminant species (cow, goats, and sheep) exposed ex vivo to environmentally relevant concentrations. The research focused on key biomarkers of oxidative stress (MDA), inflammation (myeloperoxidase

Benzimidazole Anthelmintic Compounds Albendazole and Fenbendazole Show Distinct Toxicity on the Nitrogen Fixing Bacterium Mesorhizobium loti and Its Symbiosis With Lotus japonicus

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Veterinary medicines, which reach the soil mostly through the application of contaminated manures, can affect beneficial soil microorganisms, such as nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria, which engage in important symbiotic associations with plants.

Distributed computing for the reconstruction of multi‐terabyte tomographic X‐ray imaging datasets

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
As tomographic datasets from synchrotrons continue to increase in volume, so rises the challenge of reconstructing said data. Here we present a solution utilizing high‐performance computing capabilities to split the process into multiple smaller tasks, which can be solved without overwhelming a single compute node.
