Adaptive dynamics of dairy goats in a temperate region.

Physiological and hematological traits and productive performance of Spanish Majorera and Palmera goats reared on the Island of Tenerife-Spain were assessed. 50 adult, clinically healthy, multiparous female goats were studied for 18 months. The data were analyzed in a two (breeds) x four (season) factorial scheme.

Prevalence of probable post-traumatic stress disorder and experiences of trauma in emerging adults living with HIV in Zimbabwe.

Background: Little is known about the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in emerging adults living with HIV in low-income countries.

Aims: Determine prevalence of trauma exposure, prevalence of probable PTSD and conditional prevalence of probable PTSD for different traumatic events; and better understand the experiences of individuals with HIV and PTSD.

Method: This mixed method study used secondary data from a cross-sectional survey of people ( = 222) aged 18 to 29 living with HIV in Zimbabwe and primary qualitative data collection.

Maternal parenting skills, adverse clinical outcomes, and contextual factors in low-income families: Associations and predictors of the neurodevelopment of preterm children in the first two years of life.

Background: Preterm children are a risk group for neurodevelopmental delays, while interactions with their mothers may serve as a protective factor.

Aims: The objectives of this study were to (1) identify changes in preterm children's neurodevelopment, maternal skills, and mother-child interactions of preterm children from the first to the second year of life; (2) analyze differences between preterm children with and without developmental delays in relation to social skills, parenting skills, and mother-child interaction; and (3) examine the risk and protective factors associated with the neurodevelopment of preterm children.

Methods: Participants included 47 Brazilian preterm children and their mothers, assessed at the first (Mage/months = 10.

Nanoencapsulation with Eudragit® and chia mucilage increases the stability and antifungal efficacy of carvacrol against spp.

Carvacrol is a consolidated natural antimicrobial. However, its use in food is a challenge due to characteristic odour and high volatility. Nanoencapsulation has emerged to overcome these drawbacks.
