Estimation of genetic parameters for weaning weights and metabolic weights characteristics and post weaning in Brahman cattle

open access: yes, 2019
The objective of this study was to estimate heritability and correlations of 36,505 animals, belonging to the Brazilian Association of Zebu Breeders. They were estimated by Restricted Maximum Likelihood method (REML) using Wombat software. The model included the direct additive genetic effect, maternal, permanent maternal environment and residual as ...

Aortic valve disease: Novel animal models for advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Due to the complex pathophysiology of aortic valve disease (AVD) and the resulting lack of effective pharmacotherapy, existing animal models are valuable research tools, but each has its own strengths and limitations. This review systematically surveys the major AVD models, compares their induction methods, pathological features, advantages and ...

Role of soft tissue and bone interactions in the developmental integration and modularity of the skull in neural crest‐specific gap junction alpha‐1 knockout mice

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The vertebrate skull is composed of bones derived from neural crest cells and mesoderm. The evolutionary capacity of the skull has been linked, in part, to the emergence of neural crest cells; however, this increased capacity for evolutionary change requires that variation within neural crest‐ and mesoderm‐derived bones remains partly ...

The role of dietary antigen in the aetiology of post weaning diarrhoea [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Experiments were undertaken to investigate whether a hypersensitivity response to dietary antigen might be a predisposing factor in the aetiology of post weaning diarrhoea. The results indicated that: 1.

Developmental differences in cortical bone structure in chimpanzee and human femora reflect early locomotor independence in humans

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cortical bone structure of long bone diaphyses changes throughout growth via skeletal modeling and has important implications for bone strength and structural integrity. Ontogenetic trends in diaphyseal structure have been identified in both chimpanzees and humans but it is not yet clear how these trends compare given notable differences ...

Postnatal craniomandibular growth in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Postnatal ontogeny in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina). Cranium and mandible grow rapidly until 5 years of age, followed by a deceleration and finally a stagnation. Abstract As secondarily aquatic carnivores, seals display several phenotypic differences compared to their terrestrial relatives.

Methods of analyzing the effect of season of birth on weaning weight in a zebu x temperate beef herd in Kenya

open access: yes, 1984
A study was made of weaning weights in a beef herd, using a rotational crossbreeding system including the Boran breed (zebu) and two temperate beef breeds (Devon and Limousin), and a seasonal calving period spanning the onset of the rains.Significant ...

The Forgotten Joint Score Shows High Correlation With Established Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Patient‐Reported Outcome Measures While Capturing Joint Awareness and Functional Recovery: A Systematic Review

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To systematically review and analyze the existing literature on the use of the Forgotten Joint Score‐12 (FJS‐12) in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), with the aim of evaluating its effectiveness as a complementary tool to traditional patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) in assessing postoperative ...
