Article Synopsis
- Pseudopregnancy (PSG) in female dogs is a common condition, with a diagnosed prevalence of 30.81% among reproductive issues.
- The occurrence of PSG is influenced by seasonal oestrous cycles, with behavioral changes and physical symptoms like mammary enlargement appearing after the last heat cycle.
- Many cases resolve in about 16 days, which is longer than typical treatment recommendations, and the study suggests PSG may be underestimated due to owners not recognizing its signs, indicating a need for more research.
New Caledonia is a French territory located in the South Pacific Ocean. The prevalence rate of end-stage renal disease is nearly 3,000 per million inhabitants, making it one of the highest prevalence rates in the world. Preventing chronic kidney disease is a major public health issue.

Herein, distributions of SARS-CoV-2, Pepper Mild Mottle Virus (PMMoV), and F-RNA bacteriophage group II (FRNAPH-II) were determined by viral RNA RT-qPCR. Comparison of viral recovery using three conventional fractionation methods included membrane filtration, a combination of mid-speed centrifugation and membrane filtration, and high-speed centrifugation.

In jurisdictions where molecular analysis was performed on large scales, the emergence and competition of numerous SARS-CoV-2lineages have been observed in near real-time. Lineage identification, traditionally performed from clinical samples, can also be determined by sampling wastewater from sewersheds serving populations of interest.

- The contaminant 6PPD-Q, resulting from the oxidation of a tire antidegradant, is highly toxic to certain salmon species, while other fish show tolerance at higher concentrations.
- This research aimed to understand why some fish species react differently to 6PPD-Q by analyzing its metabolites in the bile of both sensitive and tolerant species.
- Findings revealed that tolerant fish had higher levels of a specific 6PPD-Q metabolite, indicating they may detoxify the compound more efficiently, suggesting that differing enzyme expressions could explain varying sensitivities.
