Literature on dietary behaviours of the pediatric Crohn's Disease (CD) population and the relationship between dietary intake and CD activity is limited. Three dietary indices were developed and tested to conduct dietary pattern analysis in pediatric patients with CD consuming a free diet following remission induction via exclusive enteral nutrition ( = 11). Index scores underwent descriptive and inferential analysis.

- Captive breeding is crucial for conserving endangered species, but timing male and female pairings can be challenging due to slow or invasive methods.
- Detection dogs were explored as a non-invasive alternative for identifying female Tasmanian devils’ reproductive status by distinguishing oestrus from non-oestrus based on fecal samples.
- While the dogs achieved decent accuracy in training, their effectiveness dropped when tested on new samples, indicating potential but also the need for further research in using detection canines in wildlife conservation.
Reproductive technologies (RTs) can assist integrated conservation breeding programs to attain propagation targets and manage genetic diversity more effectively. While the application of RTs to enhance the conservation management of threatened amphibians has lagged behind that of other taxonomic groups, a recent surge in research is narrowing the divide. The present study reports on the first application of RTs (hormone-induced spawning, hormone-induced sperm-release, and sperm cryopreservation) to the critically endangered Baw Baw frog, .

The degree of immunosuppression (IS) required to prevent rejection while minimizing toxicity to the recipient and fetus remains an area of investigation.
Methods: In this article, we describe immunosuppressive therapy, rejection episodes, infections, and adverse events in 14 uterus transplant recipients.
