Morphodynamic study of the corona mortis using the SimLife technology.

Purpose: Open book pelvic ring fractures are potentially life-threatening, due to their instability and major hemorrhage risk. During the open reduction and internal fixation, the pelvic approach remains a technical challenge, as the surgeon wants to prevent any iatrogenic damage of the vascular loop located in the retro-pubic area called corona mortis (CMOR). Recently, the cadaver perfused SimLife technology has been developed to improve the surgeon training, out of the operating room.

An analysis of African Swine Fever consequences on rural economies and smallholder swine producers in Haiti.

African Swine Fever (ASF) causes high mortality and often results in strict culling policies for affected pigs and international market restrictions. It took more than 25 years for swine inventories in Haiti and the Dominican Republic to recover from an ASF outbreak that took place from 1978 to 1984. The 2021 outbreaks in the Dominican Republic and Haiti pose threats to animal health, livestock markets, and producer livelihoods.

Gut lactate-producing bacteria promote CD4 T cell recovery on Anti-retroviral therapy in HIV-infected patients.

Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) effectively suppresses viral replication in HIV-infected patients, however CD4 + cell restoration to normal value is not achieved by 15-20% of patients who are called immune non-responders. Gut microbiota composition has been shown to influence host immunity. Herein, to identify intestinal microbial agents that may influence the CD4 recovery in HIV-infected patients, we utilized a "Quasi-paired cohort" method to analyze intestinal metagenome data from immunological responders (IRs) and immunological non-responders (INRs).

Daily organization of laying in Japanese and European quail: effect of domestication.

In the present study, we aimed to examine the possible effects of domestication on the daily organization of laying in female quail. To achieve this we compared laying patterns in a laboratory strain of Japanese quail with those in European quail originating from a wild population. Under LD 14:10, the same specific laying window was observed, with ovipositions occurring mainly between 7 h and 15 h after lights on.
