Screen-Printed Nanohybrid Palladium-Based Electrodes for Fast and Simple Determination of Estradiol in Livestock.

One of the main challenges in animal breeding systems is determining estradiol (E2) in livestock samples as simple and minimally invasive as possible, Thus, a nonenzymatic biosensor screen-printed electrode (SPE) was developed by modifying nanohybrid palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs), and carbon dots anchored on a nanosilica particle (PdNPs/C.dots/SiO), denominated SPE/PdNPs/C.dots/SiO, and successfully tested for the direct detection of estradiol in livestock samples.

Body Mass Index Predicts Function in Individuals With Plantar Fasciopathy: A Longitudinal Observational Study.

Context: Plantar fasciopathy (PF) is a common, self-limiting condition with notable economic impact and multifactorial origins. Clinical tests help clinicians to identify specific dysfunction and limitations influencing PF's clinical course. This study aims to investigate whether body mass index (BMI) influences the performance of clinical tests and clinical presentation of individuals with PF and to determine whether BMI and clinical tests predict the clinical course of PF over a 3-month follow-up period.

Anethole improves mitochondrial activity and quality parameters in fresh and frozen-thawed ovine semen.

Anethole, an antioxidant found in plants, appears to improve the survival of spermatozoa during semen cryopreservation. This study assessed the effects of commercial trans-anethole in ram semen cryopreservation. Thirty ejaculates from six rams were diluted in media containing anethole at the following concentrations: CONT (0 μM), AN10 (10 μM), AN50 (50 μM), and AN100 (100 μM).
