Impact of Precision Feeding During Gestation on the Performance of Sows over Three Cycles.

This study evaluated the impact of precision feeding and bump feeding strategies during gestation on the reproductive performance of sows monitored over three cycles. Four treatments were compared: two constant-concentration feeding strategies (0.53% standardized ileal digestible lysine content; SID Lys) with the feed supply remaining constant (flat feeding; FF) or variable (bump feeding; BF) and two precision feeding strategies based on the InraPorc model considering performance by parity (precision feeding per parity; PFP) or the weight of each sow at breeding (precision feeding by individual; PFI).

Ocean weather, biological rates, and unexplained global ecological patterns.

As on land, oceans exhibit high temporal and spatial temperature variation. This "ocean weather" contributes to the physiological and ecological processes that ultimately determine the patterns of species distribution and abundance, yet is often unrecognized, especially in tropical oceans. Here, we tested the paradigm of temperature stability in shallow waters (<12.

MicroRNA-155-5p Differentially Regulates IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2 Expression and Signaling Driving Abnormal Lung Epithelial Cell Phenotype in Severe Asthma.

MicroRNA (miR)-155-5p increases in innate and adaptive immune cells in response to IL-13 and is associated with the severity of asthma. However, little is known about its role in airway structural cells. Bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) isolated from healthy donors and patients with severe asthma were stimulated with IL-13.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization Survey in Canada: Challenges, Opportunities, and Differences in Practices Across the Country.

To assess the current practices surrounding Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) in Canada. An online survey was sent to Canadian Association for Interventional Radiology (CAIR) members. It included questions on symptoms prompting UFE, patient awareness, investigation, UFE settings, the number of UFE procedures, and post-UFE care.
