pain relief. In general, anaesthesia does not provide any longterm pain relief. Mischler et al. (1994), however, report a prolonged mild antinociception after CO2-induced anaesthesia. In general, local as well as general anaesthesia should be supplemented with postoperative pain relief.

A comparison of immunological, chemical and surgical castration of Nelore bulls

open access: yesTheriogenology, 2021
The objective was to compare effects of immunological, chemical and surgical castrations on testicular characteristics, scrotal surface temperatures, sperm quality, and serum testosterone concentrations in Bos indicus bulls. Eighty Nelore bulls (∼20 mo) were grazed on pasture, fed a supplement and slaughtered at ∼480 kg.

Epigenetic heterogeneity and plasticity in therapy‐induced tumor states through single‐cell multi‐omics

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Single‐cell multi‐omics reveals epigenetic heterogeneity across therapy‐adaptive tumor states, including quiescent/dormant, drug‐tolerant persister, and EMT‐like phenotypes. By linking regulatory features with state‐associated biomarkers, these approaches inform biomarker‐guided therapeutic strategies for evolving tumors.

Change in Norwegian consumer attitudes towards piglet castration: increased emphasis on animal welfare

open access: yesActa Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2020
Background Male piglets are surgically castrated at a young age primarily to prevent pork meat from being tainted with boar taint, an offensive taste and odor that can be present in uncastrated male pigs. The practice of surgical castration is considered
