Welfare evaluation of dairy cows reared in the East of Algeria.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the welfare status of dairy cows raised in local conditions through health criteria. Important health problems have been identified as well as their effect on the milk yield. One hundred seven farms in eastern Algeria were visited.

ANN-based fault diagnosis of induction motor under stator inter-turn short-circuits and unbalanced supply voltage.

Induction motors (IMs) are extensively used in industrial sector. This kind of machine is subjected to several stresses that could interrupt their normal operation. An excessive stress can generate some symptoms before the IM fall in failure situation.

Is music intervention effective in reducing anxiety and pain during breast biopsy procedure? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Purpose: To evaluate the evidence from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) about the effect of music intervention in reducing patients' anxiety during breast biopsy.

Methods: Electronic databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched using the relevant MeSH terms. The inclusion criteria were all RCTs assessing the effect of music therapy versus no music in reducing anxiety during breast biopsy.

Pathological Findings in Cattle Slaughtered in Northeastern Algeria and Associated Risk Factors.

Meat is a food of animal origin, which can be contaminated by infectious, parasitic and other non-infectious agents responsible for diseases, which threaten the health of consumers. This still poses a public health problem in Algeria and in many countries. In order to assess the epidemiological situation of certain diseases in the Taher region in Jijel and to determine the influence of certain variation factors and to estimate the risk on public health, a study was extended over a period of 14 months on a total of 1756 cattle slaughtered at the Taher slaughterhouse.

Relationships between age, body measurements, and testicular measurements in Arabia bucks in Algeria.

Body size and testicular measurements were found to be important parameters for the evaluation of the breeding quality. A study was therefore carried out on Arabia bucks (n = 180) to record normal testicular characteristics and to evaluate the effect of age on body (BCS, BW, WH, CG, AC, CS, and BL) and testicular (SC, TW, EW, TL, TD, and TL) measurements. Animals were classified into three age classes (less than or equal to 12 months, from 12 to 24 months, and over 24 months).

The vermicomposting for agricultural valorization of sludge from Algerian wastewater treatment plant: impact on growth of snap bean .

In the present study, vermicomposting of sewage sludges and their application in agriculture have been investigated. The impact of earthworms on the stabilization of these sludges during 7, 14 and 21 days was assessed. The final product was applied as soil amendment (set-1) to evaluate the effects on vegetative parameters (Chlorophyll, carotenoid, number of nodules, leaf weight, and plant height) of bean.

The Effect of Vitamin E and Poly Ethylene Glycol (PEG) Association on Chilled Rabbit Sperm: Impact on Sperm Motility and Oxidative Stress Status.

Background: Vitamin E is the major lipid-soluble antioxidant, however, its potent effect is limited by its poor solubility.

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate whether polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) can enhance Vitamin E solubility and help protect sperm motility and against oxidative status.

Materials And Methods: Sperm groups consisted of the control aliquot diluted with Tris buffer and aliquots treated with Tris buffer containing polyethylene glycol (PEG), vitamin E (Vit E) or vitamin E- PEG complex (PEG/Vit E).

Evaluation of the genetic determinism of an F1 generation of barley resulting from a complete diallel cross between autochthones and introduced cultivars.

An experimental trial was carried out during two successive crop years, (2015/2016 and 2016/2017). The study focused on an F1 generation of barley L.), composed of twenty hybrids, from a complete diallel cross between autochthones and introduced cultivars.

Bovine herpesvirus 1 in the northeast of Algiers, Algeria: Seroprevalence and associated risk factors in dairy herd.

Objective: The present study was conducted to estimate the seroprevalence and associated risk factors of bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) in a dairy herd in the northeast of Algiers, Algeria.

Materials And Methods: The target area is in the northeast of Algiers with humid to semi-dry climate and known for its economically important production of cattle. A total of 1,066 randomly selected individual blood samples of dairy herd collected at 120 dairy farms from rural districts of northeast of Algiers were evaluated with antibodies against BoHV-1 using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits, to determine the BoHV-1 infection status of the herds.

Serological survey for anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in sheep of northeastern Algeria.

Although T. gondii is of considerable both public and veterinary importance worldwide, studies on its existence in sheep in Algeria, either through serology and or parasitology is scarce. To this end, a cross-sectional study was carried out in Tébessa, an Algerian eastern province, to, firstly, investigate the seroprevalence of T.

Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects of on Paracetamol-induced Hepatitis in Rats.

Background: Herbal medicines have been used in the treatment of liver diseases for a long time. The current study was elaborated to evaluate in vitro and in vivo antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of Lotus corniculatus (L. corniculatus) butanolic extract.

Review of Acute Traumatic Closed Mallet Finger Injuries in Adults.

In adults, mallet finger is a traumatic zone I lesion of the extensor tendon with either tendon rupture or bony avulsion at the base of the distal phalanx. High-energy mechanisms of injury generally occur in young men, whereas lower energy mechanisms are observed in elderly women. The mechanism of injury is an axial load applied to a straight digit tip, which is then followed by passive extreme distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) hyperextension or hyperflexion.

Human brucellosis in Maghreb: existence of a lineage related to socio-historical connections with Europe.

Despite control/eradication programs, brucellosis, major worldwide zoonosis due to the Brucella genus, is endemic in Northern Africa and remains a major public health problem in the Maghreb region (Algeria/Morocco/Tunisia). Brucella melitensis biovar 3 is mostly involved in human infections and infects mainly small ruminants. Human and animal brucellosis occurrence in the Maghreb seems still underestimated and its epidemiological situation remains hazy.
