The prevalence of ultrasonographic abnormalities and histopathologic lesions is high in testes of yearling tropical hair rams.

Ultrasonography is commonly used to examine testes as part of a breeding soundness examination in sheep, especially, in cases of infertility or when gross testicular abnormalities are present. A descriptive, prospective, prevalence study was conducted to characterize the ultrasonographic, histopathologic, and spermatozoal morphology abnormalities present in a group of yearling tropic hair rams on the island of St. Kitts.

The association between cognitive impairment and functional outcome in hospitalised older patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: in hospitalised older adults, cognitive impairments are common and may be associated with functional outcomes. Our aim was to systematically review this association.

Method: we systematically searched MEDLINE, CINAHL, AMED and PsycINFO from inception to April 2016.

Association of cognition with functional trajectories in patients admitted to geriatric wards: A retrospective observational study.

Aim: Impaired cognition is common among older patients admitted to acute hospitals, but its association with functional trajectories has not been well studied.

Methods: A retrospective observational study was carried out in an English tertiary university hospital. We analyzed all first episodes of county residents aged ≥75 years admitted to the Department of Medicine for the Elderly wards between December 2014 and May 2015.
