Flavonoid-rich foods (FRF): A promising nutraceutical approach against lifespan-shortening diseases.

It is well documented that life expectancy in developed countries at birth is going to surpass the 20 century. However, regrettably, a potential decline in life expectancy has been proposed for these nations in the 21st century due to a rapid upsurge in the prevalence of fatal degenerative diseases like cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer and diabetes. Collectively, these three diseases accounted for 65% of all deaths in urbanized societies and were considered as a dynamic issue for shortening the genetically determined lifespan through increased mortalities, morbidities, disabilities, immense sufferings, and premature aging.

Microsatellite Instability and MMR Genes Abnormalities in Canine Mammary Gland Tumors.

Early diagnosis of mammary gland tumors is a challenging task in animals, especially in unspayed dogs. Hence, this study investigated the role of microsatellite instability (MSI), MMR gene mRNA transcript levels and SNPs of MMR genes in canine mammary gland tumors (CMT). A total of 77 microsatellite (MS) markers in 23 primary CMT were selected from four breeds of dogs.

An investigation on the prevalence of peste des petits ruminants in the camels of Sindh, Pakistan.

The present study investigated the status of peste des petits ruminants (PPR) for the first time in the camels of Pakistan. The samples were collected from the camel residing area of Sindh, Pakistan, and analyzed for breeds (Dhatti and Larri), districts (Tharparkar and Umerkot), age (young, adult, and old), and sexes (male and female). The sera samples (n = 200) were analyzed for the detection of antibodies using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA).

Heat stress management in poultry farms: A comprehensive overview.

Heat stress causes significant economic losses in poultry production, especially in tropical and arid regions of the world. Several studies have investigated the effects of heat stress on the welfare and productivity of poultry.
