Genetic Determination of Maternal Behaviour in Pigs

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In sows, maternal behaviour is a commercially important trait which affects sow and piglet welfare and the quality and safety of human‐animal interactions, especially if free farrowing of sows without crates is in place. The aim of this study was to evaluate maternal behaviour and to estimate its quantitative genetic parameters in Swiss ...

Experience with video‐assisted thoracoscopic placement of pectus excavatum splints in kittens: six cases

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives This case series aims to describe the use of video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery for the treatment of pectus excavatum. Materials and Methods Six male, intact kittens, with a median age of 3.3 months (range, 2.5 to 4 months) and median weight of 1.75 kg (range, 0.44 to 2 kg), were presented to one of two referral institutions for evaluation

Incorporating the Competencies of Evidence‐Based Veterinary Medicine Focused on Pharmacotherapeutics Into Clinical Rotations for Small Animal Dermatology and Food Animal Medicine and Surgery at a Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital in the US

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Building the skills and knowledge necessary to practice evidence‐based veterinary medicine (EBVM) should occur throughout the veterinary curriculum. Operationalizing EBVM includes asking a clinical question in PICO format, searching the biomedical literature for evidence, critically appraising the evidence, and applying the evidence to make a ...

Do Parasite Effects on Fish Body Condition Depend on Host Size and External Temperature? A Meta‐Analytic Approach

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Evaluating relationships between host body condition indices (BCIs) and parasite infections is a common approach for assessing the negative effects of parasites on host health. Researchers generally expect negative correlations between BCIs and infection levels; however, empirical results are often highly variable among host–parasite systems.

A Gamma Ray–Induced Dwarf and Early Mutant of Brassica juncea With Favourable Traits for Developing High‐Yielding, Dwarf/Semi‐Dwarf Genotypes

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction of dwarfism to cereals has set a new paradigm in crop improvement programmes. To date, very little progress has been made in the development of high‐yielding dwarf/semi‐dwarf genotypes in oilseed Brassica. Previous attempts using induced mutagenesis employed in the induction of dwarfism in Brassica crops yielded limited success ...

A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

Beyond biologic sex: Exploratory insights into the heterogeneity of hormonal and contextual drivers of periodontal and peri‐implant outcomes

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontal and peri‐implant diseases are multifactorial inflammatory conditions influenced by microbial, host, hormonal, genetic, and behavioral factors. Although sex‐based differences in immune and inflammatory responses are well recognized in medicine, the extent to which biologic sex and hormonal status influence the prevalence,
