The environment in which an animal is situated can have a profound impact on its health, welfare, and productivity. This phenomenon is particularly evident in the case of dairy cattle, then, in order to quantify the impact of ambient temperature (°C) and the relative humidity (%) on dairy cattle, the temperature-humidity index (THI) is employed as a metric. This indicator enables the practical estimation of the stress imposed on cattle by ambient temperature and humidity.

- Compound pheochromocytoma is a rare adrenal tumor that produces catecholamines and can cause symptoms like rapid heartbeat, headaches, and sweating; its diagnosis requires biochemical tests and imaging techniques.
- A case study details a 45-year-old male with tachycardia, diagnosed with left pheochromocytoma showing neuroblastoma features, who underwent successful laparoscopic surgery with minimal complications.
- Prompt diagnosis and the laparoscopic surgical approach are essential for effective treatment and recovery in cases of pheochromocytoma.
The greatest challenge for the avocado ( Miller) industry is to maintain the quality of the fruit to meet consumer requirements. Anthracnose is considered the most important disease in this industry, and it is caused by different species of the genus , although other pathogens can be equally important. The defense mechanisms that fruit naturally uses can be triggered in response to the attack of pathogenic microorganisms and also by the application of exogenous elicitors in the form of GRAS compounds.

Methods: Field output factors were measured following TRS-483 recommendations using four radiation detectors. Two sets of field output factors were measured.
Background: We describe the technical report and results of the first image-guided, linear accelerator, frameless radiosurgical third ventriculostomy.
Methods: We report a 20 years old man, with diplopia, balance disturbances, and limitation for gaze supraversion. Magnetic resonance imaging resonance imaging of the brain and cranial computed tomography showed showed a left thalamic-midbrain lesion that caused partial compression of the Silvio aqueduct and mild ventricular dilatation.
