Homozygosity, which can arise from several genetic mechanisms including inbreeding, is frequently observed in the offspring of related parents. This inbreeding can lead to a reduced performance, due to a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. This study assessed inbreeding depression using whole genome and regional approaches in first-lactation Australian Holsteins and Jerseys, involving approximately 33,000 Holstein and 7,000 Jersey cows born between 2000 and 2017.

- The study examined how cycling performance is affected by low oxygen levels (hypoxia) at different exercise intensities (lactate thresholds 1 and 2) while keeping heart rate constant.
- Results showed that power output (PO) was significantly lower in hypoxic conditions at lower intensity (LT1), while differences at higher intensity (LT2) only appeared later in the exercise duration.
- Overall, the findings suggest that exercising in simulated altitude (∼3500 m) primarily decreases cycling power at lower intensities, indicating that hypoxia impacts performance more at these levels while not significantly affecting other internal physiological responses.

December 2024
Article Synopsis
- * A survey of 891 Florida Department of Health workers revealed that about half felt burned out, which correlated with job dissatisfaction and intentions to leave their jobs.
- * Key recommendations for improving worker support include better staffing, increased salaries, more flexibility, enhanced training, and stronger leadership.
The Neurohospitalist Core Competencies comprise a set of competency-based learning objectives that encapsulate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of neurohospitalitists who specialize in the care of hospitalized patients with neurologic conditions. These competencies serve to characterize the rapidly expanding field of neurohospitalist medicine. The 27 chapters are divided into 3 sections entitled: neurological conditions, clinical interventions and interpretation of ancillary studies, and neurohospitalist role in the healthcare system.

The present study used an online survey to investigate students' beliefs toward group study/recall, their studying preferences, strategies they use when studying individually and in groups, and important characteristics of their group members.
