Evaluation of a commercial automated assay for rapid serum progesterone determination in cattle, sheep and goats

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In ruminants, information on serum progesterone concentrations can be important in monitoring the oestrous cycle for pregnancy testing and the detection of endocrine disorders. We aimed to evaluate the suitability of a commercial enzyme‐linked fluorescence assay (ELFA), the MINI VIDAS (bioMérieux, Nürtingen), for measuring ...

Host‐mediated filtering and interspecific associations structure strongyle parasite communities in Sable Island horses

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using individual‐level nemabiome metabarcoding of 3147 samples from 916 horses on Sable Island over 10 years, we generate the largest dataset of its kind to date. This unprecedented scale enables a rare test of the processes structuring parasite communities in a natural system, revealing dominant host‐mediated filtering and predominantly positive ...

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-

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.

Renal oxygenation, function and histopathology in an ovine model of heart failure undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass with 48 hours of recovery: a prospective, observational study*

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Acute kidney injury is common after cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass, yet preventive strategies are limited. Progress has been hindered by a lack of clinically relevant experimental models incorporating pre‐existing heart disease.

Monitoring Mitochondrial Function With High‐Resolution Respirometry During Ex‐Situ Heart Perfusion

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Normothermic ESHP preserves mitochondrial respiratory function over 6 h in a porcine model (n = 6): OXPHOS capacities across NADH‐, fatty‐acid‐, and succinate‐linked pathways remain stable, with reduced cytochrome‐c control efficiency indicating improved outer‐membrane integrity. HRR provides a rapid, actionable readout for organ assessment.

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.

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.

Progress Toward a Portable Artificial Lung: A Systematic Review

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Eight portable respiratory assist devices were identified. The CE‐marked MobyBox and the FDA‐approved Breethe OXY‐1 system are in clinical use. Each device is substantially minimized to allow ambulation, but further work is required to address challenges related to anticoagulant management and safe mobilization. Created in BioRender.

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 ...
