Effect of vitamin A supplementation at different gaseous environments on in vitro development of pre-implantation sheep embryos to the blastocyst stage

Animal, 2010
Vitamin A (all-trans retinol) is an important antioxidant whose role in embryo development in vitro and in vivo is well established. Oxidative stress is a major cause of defective embryo development.

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

Pseudorandomised controlled trial of a novel navel barrier solution versus 10% iodine to protect navel and ear tag sites of neonatal lambs

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background During lambing, 10% iodine is often used to protect neonatal navel and ear tag sites. The evidence for its effectiveness is sparse. Recently, a specific navel barrier solution (NBS) was developed. Here, an in vivo field trial compared the two treatments. Methods Ten farms reported data from 6840 lambs. The navel and ear tag sites of

Material in silico adaptation and validation of an ovine heart model for blunt cardiac trauma applications

Frontiers in Mechanical Engineering
IntroductionBlunt cardiac trauma (BCT) is seen throughout high-velocity blunt thoracic trauma, and while it is considered to be low prevalence, it often leads to fatalities. The finite element ovine thorax model (FE-OTM) was developed to investigate high-

Detection of Leptospira in cane toads (Rhinella jimi) from urban and rural Paraíba, Brazil

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Leptospirosis is a significant zoonosis in tropical regions, where poor sanitation and favourable climate aid its spread. Synanthropic animals such as the cane toad (Rhinella jimi), which share environments with both people and wild and domestic animals, may harbour Leptospira and contribute to urban and rural transmission cycles ...

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Eimeria saudiensis From Arabian Oryx (Oryx leucoryx) Held in Captivity in the Sultanate of Oman 阿曼苏丹国圈养阿拉伯羚羊 (Oryx leucoryx) 体内沙特艾美球虫 (Eimeria saudiensis) 的形态学与分子特征

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Eimeria saudiensis represents a genus of apicomplexan parasites capable of inducing coccidiosis in Arabian oryx. Our research concentrated on the morphological and molecular investigation of Eimeria spp. in the captive oryx herd in Oman. The therapeutic and management practices employed at the Mammals Breeding Center were reassessed to diminish ...

Insights from the Presidential Addresses to the Agricultural Economics Society

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Society's published presidential addresses have embraced a wide range of subject matter, reflecting a ‘road well travelled’ in agricultural economics. The areas covered include the development and use of data and statistics, lessons from history, sectoral analysis, land economics, international trade and international development.

Pediatric Versus Adult Shear‐Induced Hemolysis—Are Age‐Related Blood Properties the Main Cause for Differences?

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Graphical summary of the experimental comparison of shear‐induced hemolysis in pediatric and adult blood using a Couette shearing device. Pediatric blood shows a trend toward lower increase in hemolysis at higher shear stress amplitudes, while no relevant differences are observed at low and intermediate stresses.

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 ...

The L108I polymorphism in mouse prion protein drives spontaneous disease and enhances transmission of atypical and classical prion strains

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
A single amino acid change (L108I) combined with PrP overexpression drives spontaneous atypical prion formation in mice, enabling also efficient propagation of diverse prion strains. This model allows studying how spontaneous prion diseases arise and provides powerful tools for investigating strain emergence, transmission barriers, and mechanisms ...
