Article Synopsis
- Cattle are generally resistant to clinical toxoplasmosis, and there hasn't been a confirmed case until now.
- A calf in New Zealand died from acute toxoplasmosis in 2012, showing severe lesions in various organs.
- Diagnosis was confirmed through immunohistochemistry, identifying T. gondii, with significant tissue damage and many tachyzoites and cysts present.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to enhance registered nurse (RN) satisfaction with nursing assistants (NAs) in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) due to concerns about support levels.
- By applying LEAN methodology, the role of NAs was expanded, and patient transport responsibilities were shifted to a Centralized Transport Service, leading to a reduction in transport tasks for NAs.
- As a result, RN satisfaction with NAs increased by 12.5%, transport wait times decreased significantly, and overall patient care quality improved, as reflected in hospital assessment scores.
Isoniazid (INH) is a frontline antituberculosis agent effective against (Mtb), but the increasing challenge of avoiding multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, including INH resistance, necessitates innovative approaches. This study focused on enhancing macrophage phagocytosis to overcome INH resistance. Glucomannan, an immunomodulatory polysaccharide, emerged as a potential macrophage activator.

There is still no pharmacological treatment for obesity-induced male infertility, but the use of natural antioxidants has been proposed as a treatment.
Objective: The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of a whole tomato lipid extract on rats that decreased their fertility and spermatogenesis after being induced obese with a high carbohydrate diet.
Over the past decade, reversed gradient polarity (RGP) methods have become a popular approach for correcting susceptibility artifacts in echo-planar imaging (EPI). Although several post-processing tools for RGP are available, their implementations do not fully leverage recent hardware, algorithmic, and computational advances, leading to correction times of several minutes per image volume. To enable 3D RGP correction in seconds, we introduce PyTorch Hyperelastic Susceptibility Correction (PyHySCO), a user-friendly EPI distortion correction tool implemented in PyTorch that enables multi-threading and efficient use of graphics processing units (GPUs).
