White matter lesions in brain MRI and cardiovascular risk factors in sudden sensorineural hearing loss patients: A comparative study.

Background: Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL) is an otologic emergency characterized by a rapid decrease in hearing threshold. The etiology of SSNHL is often unclear, with potential links to vascular pathologies. This study investigates the association between white matter lesions (WMLs) observed in brain MRI and cardiovascular risk factors in SSNHL patients.

Longitudinal characterization of the metabolome of dairy cows transitioning from one lactation to the next: Investigations in fecal samples.

The fecal metabolome comprises metabolites that are excreted or not absorbed by the animal. This study examined the changes in the fecal metabolome of dairy cows from the end of one lactation period, through the dry period, and into the subsequent lactation. Twelve Holstein cows (BW = 745 ± 71 kg, BCS = 3.

Productivity, reproduction and economic losses due to foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in Iranian Holstein cows.

This retrospective study investigated the impact of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) on productive and reproductive traits, economic losses and culling trends in Holstein cows in Iran. Data from nine industrial and semi-industrial dairy herds from several provinces were analyzed over a decade (2009-2019) and included a total of 49,400 records from 20,330 cows. A mixed linear model was used to assess the impact of FMD on milk production, fat and protein yields and reproductive traits.

Untargeted lipidomics reveals unique lipid signatures of extracellular vesicles from porcine colostrum and milk.

Extracellular vesicles (EV) are membranous vesicles considered as significant players in cell-to-cell communication. Milk provides adequate nutrition, transfers immunity, and promotes neonatal development, and milk EV are suggested to play a crucial role in these processes. Milk samples were obtained on days 0, 7, and 14 after parturition from sows receiving either a standard diet (ω-6:ω-3 = 13:1) or a test diet enriched in ω-3 (ω-6:ω-3 = 4:1).
