Retrospective detection of ITGB7 gene mutation in a Holstein calf with chronic diarrhea that was suspected of hereditary cholesterol deficiency.

A homozygous individual for ITGB7 gene mutation, an autosomal recessive congenital disorder in Holstein cattle, was retrospectively identified by genotyping of 195 stored blood from patients less than 12 months of age. Other 24 patients (12.3%) showed heterozygous.

Comparison of Adverse Event Profiles of Amphotericin B Formulations Using Real-World Data.

Amphotericin B deoxycholate (AMPH-B) is a polyene macrolide with antifungal activity. Liposomal AMPH-B (L-AMB) was developed to reduce side effects while maintaining antifungal activity. This study was aimed at evaluating and comparing the adverse event profiles of AMPH-B and L-AMB using a spontaneous reporting system.

A clinical case of CACNA1S-related muscle weakness in a Holstein calf with congenital astasia diagnosed by a genotyping test of stored blood.

A homozygous calf with CACNA1S-related muscle weakness, a new autosomal recessive congenital disorder in Holstein cattle, was identified by genotyping 195 stored blood samples from Holstein calves aged less than 12 months. The patient was an 8-day-old male calf with congenital astasia which presented to a university hospital in 2019. The patient was unable to maintain an upright position with assistance to stand.

A clinical case of enzootic bovine leukosis in a Holstein cow with minor clonality of B-cell in the peripheral blood.

A 4-year 9-month-old Holstein-Friesian dairy cow presented with anorexia. On physical examination, swelling of superficial lymph nodes, pelvic masses, and prolonged urination posture after urinating a small amount were noted. Hematological examination revealed no lymphocytosis.
