Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on 24 mares with uterine prolapse treated from 1988 to 2019, exploring their predispositions and outcomes.
  • Key findings revealed that Arabian mares were more likely to experience uterine prolapse, as they made up a significant portion of the affected group compared to all mares treated.
  • Despite the medical interventions, 74% of the mares survived to discharge and no specific factors, such as age or number of births, were linked to their survival rates.

Article Synopsis
  • * They hypothesized that higher doses of lidocaine would negatively impact various sperm parameters, including progressive motility and membrane integrity.
  • * Results indicated that lower lidocaine concentrations (1 μg/ml and 10 μg/ml) did not significantly affect sperm, but higher concentrations (100 μg/ml and above) led to notable decreases in motility and membrane integrity, while morphology remained unchanged.

Resistant starch (RS) plays a key role in providing metabolic and colonic health benefits. In particular, RS type III (RS) is of great interest because of its thermal stability and its preserved nutritional functionality. RS can be prepared by physical treatment, including high hydrostatic pressure, ultrasound, extrusion, autoclaving, microwave cooking, and heat-moisture treatment.

Pea starch (S) was modified by autoclaving (A), α-amylolysis (E), and pullulanase debranching (P), the effect of pretreatments including autoclaving and α-amylolysis on the structural modifications to the pullulanase debranched starch was investigated. All processed pea starch was transformed from a C- to a B-type crystalline structure. The power law exponent (α) ranging from 1.

This work focused on the structural characterization of resistant starch from untreated (UL-RS), germinated (GL-RS), fermented (FL-RS), microwaved (ML-RS), conventionally cooked (CL-RS), and autoclaved (AL-RS) lentil seeds. The size exclusion chromatography (SEC) results showed that UL-RS, RL-RS, and GL-RS (Group A samples) exhibited higher values of M and R¯ than FL-RS, ML-RS, AL-RS (Group C samples), and CL-RS (Group B sample). In parallel with the SEC result, other structural characteristics followed similar trends, where Group C samples exhibited the lowest values of double helix content and crystallinity by C NMR, and degree of order/double helix by FT-IR.
