is a nematode living in the caeca of the wild Northern bobwhite quail () present throughout the Rolling Plains Ecoregion of Texas. The cytochrome oxidase 1 (COX 1) gene of the mitochondrial genome was used to screen in wild quail. Through BLAST analysis, similarity of to other nematode parasites was compared at the nucleotide level. Phylogenetic analysis of COX1 indicated relationships to Subuluridae, Ascarididae, and Anisakidae. This study on molecular characterization of provides new insight for the diagnosis of caecal worm infections of quail in the Rolling plains Ecoregion of Texas.

Animals within social groups respond to costs and benefits of sociality by adjusting the proportion of time they spend in close proximity to other individuals in the group (cohesion). Variation in cohesion between individuals, in turn, shapes important group-level processes such as subgroup formation and fission-fusion dynamics. Although critical to animal sociality, a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing cohesion remains a gap in our knowledge of cooperative behavior in animals.

A pulled elbow is a common type of injury in children aged one to four years, where the forearm is pulled in an extended pronated position. There are a few cases of pulled elbow reported in children under one year old. We experienced an atypical pulled elbow case in a six-month-old girl after her mother rolled her from a right lateral position to a supine position, leaving her arm trapped behind her back.

Northern bobwhite quail () are an economically significant gamebird that has experienced continued general decline in the Rolling Plains ecoregion of Texas. Habitat loss and changing environmental conditions have been cited as major contributors to this decline, with factors such as parasites being considered inconsequential. To better assess the impacts of parasite infections on bobwhite populations in the Rolling Plains, bobwhite abundance was monitored in response to anthelminthic treatment.

It has been demonstrated that helminths are capable of critically impacting the fitness of their hosts. This has typically been shown experimentally through the administration of anthelmintic drugs but are rarely performed on a landscape or host population scale. Here, the anthelmintic fenbendazole (FBZ) was mixed in a supplemental feed and provided to a free-ranging population of Northern bobwhite quail ().

Article Synopsis
- This study explores the impact of gingivitis on inflammation and cardiovascular risks in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
- The research involved three groups of participants: two with PCOS (one with gingivitis and one without) and a control group, all assessed for various health indicators and inflammatory markers.
- Results indicated that PCOS patients, especially those with gingivitis, had higher levels of systemic inflammation and more aggressive neutrophil behavior, which may increase the risk of atherosclerosis.
