The plant, Matricaria nigellifolia, was dosed to 2 sheep to reinvestigate whether or not sheep are susceptible to pushing disease ("stootsiekte"). Each sheep received a total dose of 370 g/kg of the milled, dried plant from a batch that had caused pushing disease in cattle when given at doses as low as 10 g/kg. Neither of the sheep developed clinical disease over the trial period of 60 days, and necropsies revealed no macro- or microscopical lesions. Sheep are apparently resistant to pushing disease, which supports previous findings.

Background: Social media has become a new channel for information exchange in recent years. WeChat official account (WOA) is now widely adopted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for successful information distribution and diffusion online. We aimed to identify features of the most popular articles pushed by WOAs of the China's CDC that are associated with article influence.

Department of Health Sciences, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Nagasaki University, Nagasaki, JPN.
Purpose The infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) has the lowest pain threshold among all knee joint components and causes anterior knee pain after knee arthroplasty. It has been reported that selective muscle atrophy of the vastus medialis (VM) and fibrosis of the IFP may develop following knee joint surgery. Ultrasound enables visualization of IFP deformation (A1) from within the joint to the proximal area in response to muscle contraction, and this may be helpful in developing preventive and therapeutic strategies for IFP fibrosis.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and tolerance of ultra-hypofractionated SABR (stereotactic ablative radiation therapy) protocol following radical prostatectomy.
Patients And Methods: We included patients undergoing adjuvant or salvage SABR between April 2019 and April 2023 targeting the surgical bed and pelvic lymph nodes up to a total dose of 36.25 Gy (7.
Snorkelling and Breath-Hold Diving Fatalities in Australia-A Review of 317 Deaths.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
January 2025
Australasian Diving Safety Foundation, Canterbury, VIC 3126, Australia.
As snorkelling and breath-hold diving are conducted in a potentially hostile environment by participants with varying skills and health, fatalities occur. In this study, snorkelling and breath-hold diving fatalities were investigated in Australia from 2000 to 2021 to identify causes and countermeasures. The Australasian Diving Safety Foundation database and the National Coronial Information System were searched to identify snorkelling/breath-hold diving deaths from 2000 to 2021.

The nuclear envelope has for long been considered more than just the physical border between the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm, emerging as a crucial player in genome organisation and regulation within the 3D nucleus. Consequently, its study has become a valuable topic in the research of cancer, ageing and several other diseases where chromatin organisation is compromised. In this chapter, we will delve into its several sub-elements, such as the nuclear lamina, nuclear pore complexes and nuclear envelope proteins, and their diverse roles in nuclear function and maintenance.
