The aim of the study was to assess effects training on haematological and biochemical blood parameters as well changes in body surface temperature horses. In order identify predictive value measurements a marker animal's performance, their correlations with were investigated. carried out nine horses divided into two groups: routinely ridden never ridden. Infrared thermography used before (BT) just after (JAT) treadmill. Seven regions interest (ROIs) located neck, shoulder, elbow, back,...

The quality of life (QoL) in patients with advanced venous insufficiency (including stasis ulcers, skin discoloration, eczema, and lipodermatosclerosis) assessed using the Clinical Etiological Anatomical Pathophysiological (CEAP) Venous Severity Score (VCSS) classifications is presented. Also, disease features such as: intensity pain, edema inflammatory response that exerted most profound effect on different domains QoL are reported. global lower leg ulcerations was relatively similar to...

The aim of this study was to evaluate selected lipid-related and vascular factors their effect on retrobulbar hemodynamics in glaucoma. Fifty-six patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) [POAG group; mean age 68.32 years (SD±0.21)] 54 control group [CG, 68.1 (SD±5.34)] were examined. Peak systolic velocity, end-diastolic pulsatility index, resistive index the ophthalmic artery, central retinal artery posterior ciliary arteries measured by Color Doppler Imaging. Selected...

Purpose: To obtain ultrasonographic measurements of ocular axial length (AL) in preterm infants without retinopathy prematurity (ROP) but with different refractive power regard to birth weight (BW) and gestational age (GA).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects high intensity laser therapy (HILT) on tendon and ligament injury treatment in horses. Twenty six horses with tendinopathies were randomly assigned a HILT treated or non-treated group. Each horse subjected same rehabilitation programme. Horses from group underwent series fifteen treatments parameters. Clinical ultrasound assessments performed by veterinarian carried out before (day 0), during 13–15) after 38–40). evaluation included: pain,...

The determination of breed composition or the population origin has several practical applications, including authentication brand mono-breed products that have recently been developed in livestock species, cattle. Therefore, aim present study was to verify applicability a random forest (RF) approach distinguish between different dairy and beef cattle breeds based on reduced panel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A total 1,370 animals from 17 were genotyped with 50 K SNP microarray....

The objective of the present study was to investigate relationship between g.2582481G>A, g.2583935G>A and g.2584057C>T single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within lactate dehydrogenase A gene (LDHA) coding for isoform racing performance homing pigeons. As a measure performance, we used mean values ace points won by individual birds during whole season. estimated heritability pigeons relatively low (h2=0.0596; SE=0.0249). analysis performed all race reports together showed that factors such...

The impact of a rider's and saddle's mass on saddle thermal pattern distribution was evaluated using infrared thermography (IRT). Eighteen racehorses were ridden by four riders with their own saddle. Images the panels captured at each six thermographic examinations. On image, regions interest (ROIs) marked panels. mean temperature for ROI extracted. To evaluate influence load fit, 4 indicators used: ΔTmax (difference between warmest coolest ROI); standard deviation ROIs; right/left;...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) play a role in wide variety of physiological processes. They are produced by series desaturation and elongation reactions. Δ -6-desaturase is membrane-bound enzyme that catalyzes the conversion α -linolenic acid (C18:3 n -3) linoleic (C18:2 -6) to stearidonic (18:4 γ (18:3 -6). It encoded FADS2 gene located on bovine chromosome 29. The aim this study was identify single nucleotide polymorphism determine possible associations with milk composition two...

The aim of the present study was to analyze locomotor activity horses living under near-natural conditions using Global Positioning System (GPS). conducted on pack 15 Polish Konik in 2018. Three habitats (forest, meadows and hay), two seasons (winter spring) four times day were distinguished. Significant effects habitat (p less than 0.0000) time found. In addition, a significant influence interactions between season as well observed. It can be concluded that basic factor affecting kept...

The aim of the present study was to compare predictive performance decision trees, artificial neural networks, and logistic regression used for classification daily body weight gains in beef calves. A total 680 pure-breed Simmental 373 Limousin cows from largest farm West Pomeranian Province, whose calves were fattened between 2014 2016, included study. Pre-weaning divided into two categories: A-equal or lower than weighted mean each breed sex B-higher mean. Models developed separately...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze age-related effects influencing retrobulbar blood flow parameters.Materials and Methods: enrolled healthy volunteers (162 eyes) with a mean age 49.64 years (SD ± 17.50). Participants were divided into 5 groups (G1–G5) based on 12-year spans (means from 25.41 73.87 years). Peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic (EDV), (MV), pulsatility index (PI) resistive (RI) the ophthalmic (OA), central retinal (CRA) posterior ciliary arteries (PCAs)...

The main objectives of the study were to: (1) deeply analyse serum protein composition Equus caballus, (2) assess effectiveness high-abundant depletion and improve concentration medium- low-abundant proteins. analysis performed on blood plasma three healthy part-Arabian mares. implementation two-dimensional electrophoresis matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation - time flight mass spectrometry allowed us to establish a horse proteome map. Serum proteins resolved at pH 4 7, followed by...

The effect of hybrid material—graphene flakes with Fe 3 O 4 nanospheres (GO-Fe ), graphene oxide (GO) and magnetite (Fe ) in rotating magnetic field on mammalian cells metabolism has been studied. Several reports shown that exposure to may have influence cellular membrane permeability. Thus, the aim presented study was determine response L929 fibroblast nanomaterials for 8-h experiment. GO had tendency adsorb proteins, thus cell decreased mechanism enhanced by impact field. highest reduction...
