Kidney transplantation (KT) is associated with a substantial risk of postoperative complications (POC) for which performant predictors are lacking. Data showed that a perioperative gain of weight (ΔWeight) was associated with higher risk of POC, but it remains unexplored in KT. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the association between ΔWeight and POC after KT. ΔWeight was calculated on postoperative day (POD) 2. POC were graded according to the Dindo-Clavien classification. Primary endpoint was overall POC. A total of 242 patients were included and 174 (71.9%) complications were reported. Patients showed a rapid gain of weight after KT. Mean ΔWeight was 7.83 kg (± 3.20) compared to 5.3 kg (± 3.56) in patients with and without complication, respectively (p = 0.0005). ΔWeight showed an accuracy of 0.74 for overall POC. A cut-off of 8.5 kg was determined. ΔWeight ≥ 8.5 kg was identified as an independent predictor of overall POC on multivariable analysis (OR 2.04; 95% CI 1.08-3.84; p = 0.025). ΔWeight ≥ 8.5 kg appeared as an independent predictor of POC after KT. These results stress the need to monitor weight in KT and to further investigate this surrogate with future studies assessing its clinical relevance.

Deep learning systems are prone to catastrophic forgetting when learning from a sequence of tasks, as old data from previous tasks is unavailable when learning a new task. To address this, some methods propose replaying data from previous tasks during new task learning, typically using extra memory to store replay data. However, it is not expected in practice due to memory constraints and data privacy issues.

Objective: We aimed to examine the cognitive profile in adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN) and its association with traits of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ADHD. In addition, resemblance in the cognitive profile between youths with AN and their parents was explored.
Methods: Adolescent females with acute AN (n = 20) and a healthy comparison group (n = 28) completed neuropsychological tasks of set-shifting (Trail making test, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test) and central coherence (Rey Complex Figures Task, Group Embedded Figures Test, object assembly subtest).

The inclusion of forage sources in calf diets is often discussed, and the main point debated is whether the inclusion level, particle size, source, and how forage is offered may impact gut fill and reduce body weight gain, as well as impact gastrointestinal tract development. This study aimed to determine the effects of feeding forage sources with different qualities on rumen fermentation, gut fill, and development of the gastrointestinal tract of dairy calves. Forty-eight Holstein dairy calves were blocked according to sex and body weight (BW) at 28 days of life and randomly assigned to 1 of 4 dietary treatments.

Dairy product requirement and the demand-supply gap of milk in Ethiopia have been increasing at an alarming rate due to various factors such as shortage of animal's feeds, feed staffs, feed costs, and poor genetic merits of the local breeds of the country. This problem can be lessened by selecting best breed and modern animal breeding facilities, which require technologies like big data analysis and machine learning. In this study, a prediction model that can predict age at first calving of weaned calves based on their pre-weaning and weaning parameters, including dam's parity number, season of calving, birth weight, pre-weaning health status, pre-weaning average daily weight gain (ADG), weaning age and weaning weight is developed.
