Four ages at harvest (HA: A15, A18, A24 and A30 for 15, 18, 24 and 30 months, respectively) were compared in performance, carcass and meat traits of feedlot finished steers over a 123-day period. Three meat aging periods (postmortem days: 2, 7 and 14) were imposed on a longissimus thoracis muscle (LM) section of each left carcass. Feed efficiency (FE) was greater (P ≤ 0.02) for A15 and A18. Treatment A30 had the lowest FE (P ≤ 0.02). The LM area was largest for A30, but no different (P = 0.15) from A24. Intramuscular fat was lowest (P < 0.01) for A15. No differences were detected (P ≥ 0.11) among the A18, A24 and A30. Treatment A30 had the highest rib fat thickness (P ≤ 0.02) and WBsf values. No differences were detected (P ≥ 0.25) in WBSf between A15, A18 and A24 after any aging period. Results suggested A24 as a threshold for carcass and meat traits.

Background: Recreational cannabis use is increasing in Mexico, where legalization is a possibility. The current area-level socioeconomic context of cannabis use has not been studied in the country, limiting our understanding and public health response. We aimed to analyze the association between the municipal socioeconomic environment and recreational cannabis use in Mexico.

The ability to predict the absorption of exenatide (Ex), a GLP-1 analogue, after oral dosing to rats in self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS), using in vitro methods, was assessed. Ex was complexed with soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC) prior to loading into SNEDDS. A design of experiments (DoE) approach was employed to develop SNEDDS incorporating medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), medium-chain mono- and diglycerides (MGDG), Kolliphor® RH40, and monoacyl phosphatidylcholine.

The conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks by cellulases to glucose is a critical step in biofuel production. β-Glucosidases catalyze the final step in cellulose breakdown, producing glucose, and are often the rate-limiting step in biomass hydrolysis. The specific activity of most natural and engineered β-glucosidase is higher on the artificial substrate -nitrophenyl β-d-glucopyranoside (NPGlc) than on the natural substrate, cellobiose.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the presence and genetic diversity of Human Parechoviruses (HPeVs) in 200 children under 15 with Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) in Cameroon from 2018 to 2019.
- - HPeV RNA was found in 11% of the stool samples, with specific genotypes (A1, A4, A5, A10, A14, A15, A17, and A18) identified through advanced genetic sequencing.
- - Results indicated significant genetic variability among the HPeVs detected, suggesting multiple genotypes circulate in Cameroon without associated outbreaks.

The Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway mediates many cytokine and growth factor signals. Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), one of the members of this pathway and the first described member of the JAK family. TYK2 associates with inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, cancer and diabetes.
