Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to check for the presence of Tritrichomonas foetus in male reproductive tissues of bulls that tested positive and analyzed how post mortem tissue acidity affects testing accuracy.
- Eight bulls were euthanized, and samples from their testicles, epididymis, and accessory sex glands were collected; however, T foetus was not found in any of these tissues.
- Researchers found that as the pH of the penis and prepuce decreased after death, the cycle threshold values increased, indicating that pH changes could influence the effectiveness of detecting genetic material over time.
Healthcare workers are increasingly utilising cutting-edge technology, including mobile apps, to enhance patient health care and ensure efficient professional performance. The aim of this study was to design, develop and evaluate an educational mobile app dedicated towards being employed by nursing students and practicing nurses to support the clinical assessment of a patient's health condition in nursing care. In order to develop the mobile app, the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation (ADDIE) model was employed.

- Modern medicine aims to enhance treatment effectiveness while minimizing side effects, with nanoparticles (NPs) offering promising potential for targeted drug delivery and imaging.
- However, the small size of NPs often leads to quick removal from the bloodstream and limited effectiveness due to challenges in crossing important cell barriers.
- This research demonstrates a method to exploit endothelial caveolae in the lungs to improve NP delivery, achieving higher lung concentrations than in the bloodstream, which could enhance both diagnostics and therapies in future medical applications.
, the causative agent of bovine trichomoniasis, is an obligate protozoan parasite of the bovine reproductive tract and can be found on the penis, prepuce, and distal urethra of the bull and from the cranial vagina to the oviduct in the infected cow. To date, the microbiome of bulls infected with has not been described. The objectives of this study were to (1) describe the preputial and penile microbiome of bulls chronically infected by (2) describe the seminal microbiome of -infected bulls, and (3) evaluate different collection devices that could be used for sampling.

Methods: An online survey was developed and sent to veterinary students through institutional email at the beginning and end of the year of initiating a faculty-student mentorship program.
Results: In September and May, the most commonly desired outcome of the program for students was the building of relationships.
