»: Calf strain is a common condition. In high-performance athletes, calf strain contributes to a substantial absence from competition.
»: Player age and history of a calf strain or other leg injury are the strongest risk factors for calf strain injury and reinjury.
»: Although the diagnosis is often clinical, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound are valuable to confirm the location of the strain and the grade of injury.
»: Nonoperative treatment is effective for most calf strain injuries. Operative management, although rarely indicated, may be appropriate for severe cases with grade-III rupture or complications.
»: Further investigation is necessary to elucidate the benefits of blood flow restriction therapy, deep water running, lower-body positive pressure therapy, platelet-rich plasma, and stem cell therapy for calf strain rehabilitation.

Enhanced production of recombinant calf chymosin in Kluyveromyces lactis via CRISPR-Cas9 engineering.
Bioresour Technol

As an important industrial enzyme, chymosin has been widely used in cheese manufacturing. Fermentation with Kluyveromyces lactis has allowed recombinant chymosin production to fit the growing global demand for cheese consumption; yet improvements can be made to allow for stable and larger-scale production. In this work, various chymosin producing (CP) strains were constructed via targeted chromosomal integration of various copies of a prochymosin expression cassette (PEC) using a CRISPR-Cas9 platform optimized for K.

While studying the prevalence and profile of antibiotic resistance among isolated from the feces of calves with signs of colibacillosis, a strain with a wide spectrum of drug resistance was isolated. Whole-genome sequencing, followed by bioinformatic processing and the annotation of genes of this strain, showed that the genome has a total length of 4,803,482 bp and contains 4986 genes, including 122 RNA genes. A total of 31% of the genes are functionally significant and represent 26 functional groups.

Background: The growth and health of young ruminants are regulated by their gut microbiome, which can have lifelong consequences. Compared with subjective grouping, phenotypic clustering might be a more comprehensive approach to revealing the relationship between calf growth state and core gut microbes. However, the identification of beneficial gut bacteria and its internal mechanisms of shaping host phenotype differentiation remains unclear.
