Antibodies and Inflammation: Fecal Biomarkers of Gut Health in Domestic Ruminants.

J Exp Zool A Ecol Integr Physiol

January 2025

Department of Earth and Environmental Science, School of Natural Sciences, Faculty of Science and Engineering, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.

Gastrointestinal infections present major challenges to ruminant livestock systems, and gut health is a key constraint on fitness, welfare, and productivity. Fecal biomarkers present opportunities to monitor animal health without using invasive methods, and with greater resolution compared to observational metrics. Here we developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for three potential fecal biomarkers of gut health in domestic ruminants: two immunological (total immunoglobulin [Ig]A and total IgG) and one inflammatory (lactoferrin).

Patient stratification remains a challenge for optimal treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). This clinical heterogeneity implies intra-tumoural heterogeneity, with different prostate epithelial cell subtypes not all targeted by current treatments. We reported that such cell subtypes are traceable in liquid biopsies through representative transcripts.

Toe- Brachial Index: Utility, Futility, and Diagnostic Criteria.

Angiology

January 2025

Gonda Vascular Center, Department of Cardiology, Division of Vascular Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.

Ankle brachial index (ABI) can be unreliable in patients with non-compressible vessels. Our aim is to determine the feasibility of toe brachial index (TBI) and reporting criteria in a large population. We evaluated Doppler waveforms and segmental pressures in 26,719 limbs.

Acute ischemic stroke, a medical emergency caused by reduced cerebral blood flow, results in brain cell damage. While commonly associated with older individuals, strokes can also occur in young and middle-aged adults, posing significant socio-economic and health challenges due to the long-term impact of the condition. This poses significant socio-economic and health challenges because stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality.

A novel non-invasive EEG-SSVEP diagnostic tool for color vision deficiency in individuals with locked-in syndrome.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol

January 2025

Biomedical Engineering Department, College of Engineering, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, Saudi Arabia.

Introduction: Color vision deficiency (CVD), a common visual impairment, affects individuals' ability to differentiate between various colors due to malfunctioning or absent color photoreceptors in the retina. Currently available diagnostic tests require a behavioral response, rendering them unsuitable for individuals with limited physical and communication abilities, such as those with locked-in syndrome. This study introduces a novel, non-invasive method that employs brain signals, specifically Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs), along with Ishihara plates to diagnose CVD.
