Physiological accumulation of lipid droplets in newborn liver during breastfeeding is driven by TLR4 ligands.

Background: The liver plays a central role in fat storage, but little is known about physiological fat accumulation during early development. Here we investigated a transient surge in hepatic lipid droplets observed in newborn mice immediately after birth.

Methods: We developed a novel model to quantify liver fat content without tissue processing.

Mindfulness interventions and quality of life in anxiety-related disorders: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) effectively treat anxiety symptoms across different anxiety and related disorders (ARDs), including panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we investigate whether MBIs also lead to improvements in the quality of life (QoL) of patients with ARDs. A systematic review was performed through electronic search in PUBMED, PsycINFO, Embase, Web of Science, and Clinical Trials databases.

Estimation of Genetic Parameters and GWAS on Water Efficiency Traits in the Senepol Cattle.

The need for producing in environmentally resilient system drives new research to achieve sustainable beef production. Water footprint of the beef supply chain is a concern that must be addressed, aiming to improve water use within the production chain. One approach is genetic selection of beef cattle for water efficiency.

Objective dairy cow mobility analysis and scoring system using computer vision-based keypoint detection technique from top-view 2D videos.

The objective of this study was to assess the applicability of a computer vision-based keypoint detection technique to extract mobility variables associated with mobility scores from top-view 2-dimensional (2D) videos of dairy cows. In addition, the study determined the potential of a machine learning classification model to predict mobility scores based on the newly extracted mobility variables. A data set of 256 video clips of individual cows was collected, with each clip recorded from a top-view perspective while the cows were walking.
