Large scale sequence-based screen for recessive variants allows for identification and monitoring of rare deleterious variants in pigs.

Most deleterious variants are recessive and segregate at relatively low frequency. Therefore, high sample sizes are required to identify these variants. In this study we report a large-scale sequence based genome-wide association study (GWAS) in pigs, with a total of 120,000 Large White and 80,000 Synthetic breed animals imputed to sequence using a reference population of approximately 1,100 whole genome sequenced pigs.

Classification of breed combinations for slaughter pigs based on genotypes-modeling DNA samples of crossbreeds as fuzzy sets from purebred founders.

In pig production, the production animals are generally three- or four-way crossbreeds. Reliable information regarding the breed of origin of slaughtered pigs is useful, even a prerequisite, for a number of purposes, e.g.

Efficiency when scanning old ophthalmologic slides.

Objective: To digitise our old archive and evaluate the efficiency of this task, both in medical and economic terms.

Material And Methods: All slides and negatives (8254) archived in our clinic were collected, digitised with a 5-megapixel slide scanner. The images were taken from 1972 to 1999.

Working memory capacity development through childhood: A longitudinal analysis.

Working memory is an often studied and important psychological construct. The growth of working memory capacity (WMC) in childhood is described as linear. Average adult WMC is estimated as either four or five "chunks.

DAPA-RWE: a retrospective multicenter study comparing dapagliflozin and sitagliptin in patients with Type 2 diabetes treated under routine clinical practice in Spain.

Weight reduction and glycemic control are key goals during Type 2 diabetes management. However, there are few country-specific, real-world data on cotransporter 2 inhibitors. DAPA-RWE was a retrospective, multicenter study comparing the efficacy of dapagliflozin versus sitagliptin in Type 2 diabetes patients in Spain.
