Chronic anxiety is a statemarked by sustained activation of the masseter muscle, manifesting in both mental and physical strain. This prolonged tension can significantly impact wellbeing cognitive abilities, posing risk for range health complications. double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial investigated transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (TAVNS) on muscle activity, pressure pain threshold (PPT), levels university students with elevated anxiety.

A new species of the Campylobacter genus is described, isolated from preputial mucosa bulls (Bos taurus). The five isolates obtained exhibit characteristics Campylobacter, being Gram-negative non-motile straight rods, oxidase positive, catalase negative and microaerophilic. Phenotypic nucleotide sequence analysis 16S rRNA hsp60 genes demonstrated that these belong to a novel within Campylobacter. Based on gene phylogenetic analysis, most related are C. ureolyticus, blaseri corcagiensis....

Staphylococci are prevalent in dogs' microbiota, with commensal strains being able to exhibit resistance and virulence traits, complicating secondary infection management. As antimicrobial is a global threat, particularly middle-income countries like Angola, surveillance of resistant bacteria crucial. We analyzed the prevalence, resistance, profiles staphylococci from dogs Angola. Isolates were identified using VITEK® 2 Compact (bioMérieux© SA, Marcy l'Etoile, France), their genetic...

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global threat, with surveillance providing essential information to control its spread and support rational treatment strategies. Klebsiella pneumoniae, member of the Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae family, frequently develops mechanisms.

Bimodal milk flow overmilking negatively influence efficiency removal process teat health. This observational study had objective investigating prevalence bimodal overmilking, determining which individual farm-related variables are associated with these occurrences, association yield short- long-term changes. Twenty-one farms were visited once...

The pathogenesis mechanisms of Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis (Cfv), the etiologic agent Bovine Genital Campylobacteriosis remain elusive. This study evaluated virulence potential and biovar characteristics Cfv isolates (n = 13) by PCR screening putative virulence-factor (VF) genes, Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) analysis, antimicrobial susceptibility to tetracycline, penicillin, enrofloxacin streptomycin testing whole-genome sequencing (WGS; n 5), also comparing latter with 26...

Adipokines emerged as regulators of metabolism and inflammation in several scenarios. This study evaluated the relationship between adipokines (adiponectin, chemerin visfatin) cytological (subclinical) endometritis, by comparing healthy (without), transient (recovered 45 days postpartum (DPP)) persistent (until DPP) endometritis cows ( n = 49). Cows with had higher adiponectin concentrations plasma (at 21 DPP, P < 0.05 at 0.01) uterine fluid 0.001), 0.05) DPP than cows. gene transcription...

The endometrium is a heterogeneous tissue composed of luminal epithelial (LE), glandular (GE), and stromal cells (ST), experiencing progesterone regulated dynamic changes during the estrous cycle. In cow, this regulation at transcriptomic level was only evaluated in whole tissue. This study describes specific gene expression three types isolated from endometrial biopsies following laser capture microdissection transcriptome induced by GE ST cells.Endometrial LE, GE, show profiles. Most...

In this work, an in-depth numerical study is conducted on the influence of stringer cross-section geometry mechanical behavior curved stiffened carbon-fiber reinforced polymer panels under compression, used as fuselages commercial aircrafts. The model a reference panel described and results are firstly validated, by comparison with experimental available in literature, then analyzed detail. A different geometries stringers (T-, I-, C-, J-, Ω-shaped) conducted. Finally some conclusions drawn.

Abstract Background Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis ( Cfv ) is the pathogen responsible for Bovine Genital Campylobacteriosis (BGC), a venereal disease of cattle associated with impaired reproductive performance. Although several PCR assays were developed to identify this pathogen, most them are still poorly evaluated in clinical samples. This study real-time detection preputial samples bulls n = 308). Results The at subspecies level compared four assays: two targeting ISCfe1 and parA...

Thus, the aim of this study was to answer three scientific questions: (1) Are protein content and amino acid profile dried salted cod influenced by species (Gadus morhua Gadus macrocephalus)? (2) geographical area capture (Iceland Norway)? (3) Does have potential be used as a discriminator areas capture?A total 45 cods (2-3 kg dry weight; n = 15 samples/origin) were in study. The Atlantic fished northeast (FAO 27 area) within Exclusive Economic zones (EEZ) Norway (n 15) Iceland 15), while...

Captive birds of prey are often used for pest control in urban areas, while also participating falconry exhibitions. Traveling across the country, these may represent a public health concern as they can host pathogenic and zoonotic agents share same environment humans synanthropic species. In this work, Escherichia coli from cloacal samples 27 captive were characterized to determine their potential. Isolates clustered through ERIC-PCR fingerprinting, phylogenetic groups assessed using...

In the present work rheological characterisation (steady-state and oscillatory data) of a non-chiral low molecular weight liquid-crystalline diol (denoted as HBP 6/6) exhibiting nematic smectic phases over broad temperature range is presented. A non-Newtonian flow behaviour was found. This result, together with progressive increase viscosity observed near nematic–isotropic transition, suggests that material behaves like polymer, due to hydrogen bonding. The effect an electric field applied...

In postpartum dairy cows, subclinical endometritis (SCE) is characterized by persistent endometrial inflammation, which has profound detrimental effects on subsequent reproductive performance. To date, transcriptomic studies related to this condition were either based biopsy-derived whole-endometrium tissue or swab cytobrush samples, thus masking of disease cell type-specific gene expression. This study tested the hypothesis that different health statuses are associated with distinct...

The electrorheological (ER) effect is known as the change in apparent viscosity upon application of an external electric field perpendicular to flow direction. In this work we present behaviour suspensions silicone oil two different dispersed phases: foams liquid crystal 4-n-penthyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) encapsulated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and nano/microspheres 5CB silica. We will curves under ranging between 0 3 kV mm−1. ER was observed for 5CB/PVA but not case 5CB/silica. For 5CB/PVA,...

High-yielding dairy cows experience a negative energy balance and inflammatory status during the transition period. Fat supplementation increases diet density, plasma n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been proposed to improve immune function. This study tested hypothesis that dietary with rumen-protected PUFA-enriched fat could ameliorate both energetic deficit of postpartum high-yielding cows, improving overall health reproductive efficiency. At 11 d in milk (DIM), were randomly...

Bovine Genital Campylobacteriosis (BGC) is a worldwide spread venereal disease of cattle caused by Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis (Cfv). Although several real-time PCR assays were developed for Cfv identification, most target mobile genetic elements, which may lead to false-positive diagnosis. In this study, assay coupled with High-Resolution Melting analysis (HRM) was the identification subspecies and application in BGC Two HRM targeting different single nucleotide polymorphisms...
