Vaginal host–microbe signatures linked to placental outcomes in mares

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ascending placentitis is a leading cause of late‐term pregnancy loss in mares. Although pathogens are presumed to ascend from the caudal reproductive tract, the association between the vaginal microbiome and placentitis has not been systematically examined.

Numerical Investigation of Local Scour Around Bridge Pile-Group Foundations Under Steady Flows

Infrastructures
Local scour around pile-group foundations is a predominant cause of hydraulic instability in bridge engineering. This study employs a fully coupled three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model to investigate local scour around a 2 × 2 inline pile

Protective effects of adiponectin receptor agonists against equine lamellar endoplasmic reticulum stress

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lamellar endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress occurs in hyperinsulinemia‐associated and sepsis‐related laminitis. Adiponectin is associated with reduced laminitis risk and inhibits ER stress in other species. Objectives To induce ER stress in ex vivo equine lamellar cells using pharmacological agents.

Influence of scour depth and flow velocity field on large-diameter pier group pile foundations

Frontiers in Marine Science
Sea-crossing bridges face critical challenges due to scour, which can destabilize foundations. This study investigates the scour characteristics of the large-diameter main pier of the Haiwen Bridge, with a pile diameter of 4.3 meters. Seabed changes were

Calculation of foundation scour for new debris flow grille dam with ground anchor and counterfort

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018
The foundation play a significant role in the reliability of debris flow grille dam. Compared with the exposed structures, foundation scour under debris flows is more important. On the basis of a new proposed debris flow grille dam with ground anchor and

Clinical outcomes of a novel flowable calcium silicate cement in equine endodontic treatment

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Orthograde endodontic treatment of equine cheek teeth is performed infrequently with variable success rates of obturation with calcium hydroxide paste (CHP). A novel flowable calcium silicate cement (eCSC) formulated for use as an obturation material in equine teeth has demonstrated acceptable canal filling volumes and evidence of ...

Obstetrics and gynecology devices designed for low‐ and middle‐income countries: A narrative review

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 71-80, April 2025.
Abstract There are many barriers contributing to poor health outcomes for women in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), one of which is the lack of necessary medical devices. Presently, the development of various kinds of devices intended to improve women's health outcomes specifically in LMICs remains underrepresented in the literature; therefore,

Laboratory Study of Local Scour Around an Array of Pile Groups in Clear-Water Scour Conditions

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Current-induced local scour around pile groups weakens the capacity of structures. In this paper, experimental tests of local scour around an array of 5 × 5 pile groups were conducted in a steady current in a hydraulic flume.

On the influence of apron and cutoff wall configurations on scour protection downstream grade control structures

Results in Engineering
Local scour downstream of hydraulic structures poses a major challenge in fluvial engineering, often compromising the stability of river control systems. Falling and impinging jets from Grade Control Structures (GCSs) are key contributors to cavity scour
