Genetic selection for postweaning growth rate shows no relevant negative impact on reproductive performance in breeding rabbit does.

Genetic selection for growth rate has often been related with potential negative effects on various reproductive traits across different species. Using rabbit as a model, this study has evaluated for the first time how genetic selection for growth rate has affected feed efficiency, resource allocation, blood traits, reproductive performance and survival during five reproductive cycles in rabbit does. To this end, we used 88 reproductive rabbit females from two vitrified and rederived populations of the same paternal line, differing only in 18 generations of genetic selection for growth rate (n = 44 for R19V and n = 44 for RV37V).

Moxibustion.

Moxibustion is an ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine practice used to treat a variety of symptoms and medical conditions. Here we present the case of an elderly patient whose scars from prior moxibustion treatment were initially misdiagnosed as digital ischemia.

The Prevalence of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Varies Substantially by Methods Applied: Results From a Population-Based Study.

Objectives: Accurate prevalence estimates of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are important for numerous purposes including orphan drug designation. A key criterion for orphan drug designation is a disease prevalence of less than 5/10,000 persons. The objective is to apply and compare different methods of prevalence assessment.

Chlorella and vegetable oil inclusion in diets for growing rabbits: effects on growth, digestibility, plasma metabolites, and caecal fermentations and microbiota.

The inclusion of microalgae in livestock diets has been shown to enhance animal productivity, immune response, and meat quality. However, the role of chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris) in growing rabbit nutrition has been scarcely explored, with available studies focusing on low inclusion levels (<1%) and their effects on rabbit growth and immune response. This study evaluated the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, plasma metabolites, caecal fermentative activity, and caecal microbiota composition of growing rabbits fed diets with different inclusion levels of chlorella and crude fat.

Multilevel Analysis of MYC and BCL2 Aberrations in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: Identifying a High-Risk Patient Subgroup Across Cell-of-Origin Using Targeted Sequencing.

Introduction: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) exhibits striking clinical and biological heterogeneity. Recent studies have identified new subgroups within germinal center B-cell like (GCB) DLBCL, associated with inferior prognosis, irrespective of MYC and BCL2 translocations. We explored the existence of such a DLBCL high-risk subgroup, based on multilevel aberrations, especially focusing on MYC and BCL2.
