Gait visual scores are widely applied to horse breeding because they are a fast and easy phenotyping strategy, allowing the numeric interpretation of a complex biological process such as gait quality. However, they may suffer from subjectivity or high environmental influence. We aimed to investigate potential causal relationships among six visual gait scores in Campolina horses.

Evaluating the performance of early life-stages across an altitudinal gradient can be valuable for understanding what factors shape range limits and for predicting how plant species may respond to climate change. To experimentally evaluate the presence of local adaptation in a threatened palm (Euterpe edulis) at early life-stages, we reciprocally sowed seeds at two contrasting elevations.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the characteristics, treatment patterns, and overall survival of multiple myeloma (MM) patients in Brazil, aiming to identify gaps in diagnosis and treatment.
- Data collected from 943 patients over 63 months showed a median overall survival of 70 months, with notable differences in survival rates between transplantation-ineligible and eligible patients.
- While there have been improvements in outcomes compared to past studies, challenges such as limited access to new treatments and transplant options remain obstacles to further progress in patient care.
Article Synopsis
- * Findings show significant reductions in oxygen consumption and cardiac function, with specific declines in heart rate, left ventricular performance, and increased cardiac stress markers.
- * The results emphasize the need for monitoring MeHg levels and conducting regular cardiac assessments in populations exposed to environmental contamination.
Positron emission tomography (PET) can provide information about tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) infiltration, as long as a suitable tracer is available. This study aimed to evaluate the radiolabeled peptide [F]AlF-NODA-MP-C6-CTHRSSVVC as a potential PET tracer for imaging of the CD163 receptor, which is expressed on M2-type tumor-associated macrophages. The conjugated peptide NODA-MP-C6-CTHRSSVVC was labeled with aluminum [F]fluoride.
