The extent of the widespread, planetary contamination by plastic waste is difficult to fully capture. Nanoplastics (NPs) are currently in center research concerning litter, both for analytical challenges they pose and their potential provoke hazardous effects organisms. However, there still many unanswered questions this multidisciplinary field, with a crucial missing piece being quantification NPs fish tissues after vivo exposures. Another relevant question that greatly unexplored how...
Abstract One Health recognises the interdependence between health of humans, animals, plants and environment. With increasing inclusion in multiple global strategies, workforce must be prepared to protect sustain well-being life on planet. In this paper, a review past currently accepted core competencies was conducted, with competence gaps identified. Here, Network for Ecohealth (NEOH) propose updated designed simplify what can complex area, grouping into three main areas of: Skills; Values...
Abstract Background Recently, metabolic syndrome (MS) has gained attention in human medicine given its associations with development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Canine obesity is associated the insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, mild hypertension, but authors are not aware any existing studies examining existence or prevalence MS obese dogs. Thirty-five dogs were assessed before after weight loss (median percentage 29%, range 10-44%). The diagnostic criteria...
To evaluate and validate 3 spectrophotometric assays for measuring serum activity of paraoxonase type-1 (PON1), an enzyme associated with high-density lipoproteins, in dogs.22 healthy adult dogs 10 eccentrocytosis.2 methods were adapted use 96-well microplates phenyl acetate 5-thiobutyl butyrolactonase as substrates, 1 was automated analyzer p-nitrophenyl substrate. Blood samples collected from all dogs, harvested, PON1 measured each method.Imprecision low methods, the exception interassay...
Abstract The study attempted to clarify the role of total antioxidant capacity seminal plasma (SP-TAC) on boar sperm survival and fertility after artificial insemination (AI). SP-TAC differed ( P < 0.001) among boars (n° = 15) and, a lesser degree, ejaculates within male (4 ejaculates/boar). also ejaculate fractions (43 3 per ejaculate), which sperm-peak portion rich fraction (SRF) had highest SP-TAC. was not correlated with quality (motility viability) or functionality (intracellular ROS...
The main objective of the present study was to evaluate prevalence canine obesity and –related metabolic dysfunction (ORMD) in obesogenic area Spain. overweight/obesity among owners obese pets also evaluated. In sample population studied (93 client-owned dogs), 40.9% dogs presented (body condition score (BCS), 7-9/9), hypertension, 20.4% fasting hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholestrolemia, 5.4% hyperglycemia. overall ORMD 22.6%. Seventy eight percent overweight/obese had (P<0.001) including...
Obesity is a common nutrition-related disorder leading to reduced life expectancy in both humans and dogs. With the aim of identifying new prevention control options, study objectives were (1) investigate dog-owner perceptions about obesity terms themselves their dogs, (2) identify factors associated with possible social, environmental economic drivers for its development dog owners pets. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based was performed across multiple countries. The questionnaire focused...
The aim of this study was to evaluate oxidative stress factors and C-reactive protein in the saliva patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) burning mouth syndrome (BMS).This consecutive, cross-sectional included 20 OLP, 19 (BMS), 31 control subjects. cavity each patient examined responded a quality life questionnaire (OHIP-14) xerostomia inventory. following parameters were measured whole non-stimulated saliva: trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC); total (TAC); cupric reducing...
Late eating has been shown to promote metabolic dysregulation and be associated with obesity in adults. However, few studies have explored this association children. We compared the presence of obesity, alterations circadian-related disturbances between school-aged children who were early dinner eaters (EDE) or late (LDE). School-age (n = 397; 8–12 years; mean BMI (range): 19.4 kg/m2 (11.6–35.1); 30.5% overweight/obesity) from Spain classified into EDE LDE, according timing (Median: 21:07)....
Acute phase proteins (APPs) are important diagnostic indicators of inflammatory disturbances in animals. The objectives the current study were to validate analytical methods for measuring haptoglobin (Hp), serum amyloid A (SAA), acid soluble glycoprotein (ASG), fibrinogen, and albumin concentrations goats evaluate their response an stimulus this species. Intra- interassay coefficients variation (CVs) range 0.07–9.31% 1.83–12.68%, respectively, all APPs showed good precision. All assays...
O bjective : To evaluate the acute‐phase protein response in dogs with parvoviral enteritis as predictor of clinical outcome. M ethods Canine parvovirus infection was diagnosed based on compatible findings and confirmed by canine antigen test 43 less than six months age. Blood samples for complete blood cell count proteins (C‐reactive protein, haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin albumin) were collected before treatment. Twenty‐three died during or after treatment (non‐survival) rest recovered...
Background: Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME), caused by Ehrlichia canis , is an important tick‐borne disease of global importance. Currently, limited information available on the diagnostic and prognostic value acute phase proteins (APPs) in dogs naturally infected with E. . Hypothesis: APPs may be useful indicators clinical CME predictive outcome (death or survival). Animals: Fifty‐six 7 clinically healthy control dogs. Methods: C‐reactive protein (CRP), serum amyloid A (SAA),...
The objective of this pilot study was to compare the different ways measuring salivary alpha-amylase (sAA, enzymatic vs. concentration) and evaluate influence that reporting results can have in sAA interpretation. For purpose, measured by direct quantification also an assay three naturalistic situations, a physical stressor (situation 1) two mental stressors intensity (situations 2 3). were expressed (without correction, multiplied flow rate divided protein concentration). concentration...
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic mucocutaneous disease, inflammatory and autoimmune in character, which the pathogenesis not fully understood. Psychological stress has also been implicated triggering or exacerbating disease.The aim of this study was to evaluate psychological profile, sleep, salivary biological markers-cortisol, immunoglobin A (IgA), adiponectin - patients with oral (OLP).The sample consisted 65 (33 OLP 32 control patients). Patients completed hospital anxiety depression...
