Identifying Hub Genes for Heat Tolerance in Water Buffalo () Using Transcriptome Data.

Heat stress has a detrimental effect on the physiological and production performance of buffaloes. Elucidating the underlying mechanisms of heat stress is challenging, therefore identifying candidate genes is urgent and necessary. We evaluated the response of buffaloes ( = 30) to heat stress using the physiological parameters, ELISA indexes, and hematological parameters.

Kiwi Omnicup versus Malmstrom metal cup in vacuum assisted delivery: a randomized comparative trial.

Aim: To compare the success, clinical outcomes, and maternal and neonatal complications between the Kiwi Omnicup and the Malmstrom metal cup in vacuum assisted delivery.

Methods: This was a prospective randomized comparative trial. Women who required vacuum assisted vaginal delivery were randomized into the Kiwi Omnicup (KO) group and the Malmstrom metal cup (MM) group.
