High-Throughput and Accurate 3D Scanning of Cattle Using Time-of-Flight Sensors and Deep Learning.

We introduce a high-throughput 3D scanning system designed to accurately measure cattle phenotypes. This scanner employs an array of depth sensors, i.e.

Effects of heating soybeans on postruminal amino acid bioavailability, performance, and ruminal fermentation in lactating cows.

Soybeans can provide ruminally degradable protein, lipid, and metabolizable amino acid (AA) to lactating dairy cows; however, soy-based trypsin inhibitors can limit protein digestion in nonruminants. Eight ruminally cannulated lactating Holstein cows were used to evaluate the impacts of soy-based trypsin inhibitors on nutrient disappearance, lactation, and plasma AA bioavailability. Treatments were abomasal infusion of 0 or 400 g/d casein or a crystalline AA analog of casein with unroasted or roasted soybeans fed at 10% dry matter (DM).

Meteorological and environmental factors that impact pollen counts, allergenicity, and thresholds: A scoping review.

Pollen is a key source of aeroallergens responsible for allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and asthma. The goal of this scoping review was to summarize current available literature on the factors that affect pollen counts, allergenicity, and thresholds that induce symptoms in individuals who were sensitized. Several databases showed no published articles with a similar scope as of January 2022.

Germline Genetic Testing in Unselected Squamous and Non-Squamous Head and Neck Cancers.

Objective: This study describes the prevalence of pathogenic germline variants (PGVs) in head and neck cancer patients, the incremental yield compared to a guideline-based approach to genetic evaluation, and the uptake of family variant testing.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.

Setting: Three tertiary academic medical centers.

Nasal Swell Body Characteristics in Patients With Septal Perforation.

Objective: To determine whether septal perforations have an effect on nasal swell body (NSB) size.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Two tertiary academic medical centers.
