Implementing selective dry cow therapy
Authors: Capel Michael
Published: February 2023

Veterinarians play a critical role in the judicious use of anti­microbials on farms. The treatment and control of mastitis ac­counts for approximately two-thirds of all antimicrobial use on the dairy farm. Cow, management and farm level factors can be used to identify the risk of subclinical infection at dry off or the likelihood of subclinical or clinical infection during the dry pe­riod and can thus be helpful in determining when antimicrobi­al use is appropriate and when it is of lesser importance. There is an opportunity for veterinarians to make a major impact on antimicrobial use by adopting a selective approach to their in­clusion in dry-off protocols.

Primary pulmonary lymphoma (PCL) is rare and represents only 0.5-1% of the malignant lung tumour. Pulmonary MALT lymphoma is the most common histological aspect. The pathophysiological mechanism remains poorly known, unlike other locations of MALT lymphoma, no pathogen has so far been associated with the lung localization of the disease. It is characterized by slow evolution and atypical clinical presentation which delays diagnosis. The form Â«pneumonicÂ» on the imaging allows to evoke the diagnosis while the confirmation is based on the immunohistochemical study which detects the presence of positive CD20 cell. Therapeutic options include surveillance of indolent types of LPP, surgery in localized tumors, chemotherapy in diffuse forms. We report two observations of diagnosed pulmonary MALT lymphoma on a scanno-guided bronchial and pulmonary biopsy.

In the coming future, the World War will be fought over the shortage of water, is not a joke. Today the point of concern is water security.Even as the world is struggling for everything increasing scarcity of water is most dangerous. With the rapid development of technologies and industries, global warming and climate change has caused serious threats to every element of the environment. Among these threats, the most evident impacts are the increasing and widespread water stresses experienced bycities globally. The emission of CO2 has worsened the situation further. As the COP 26 Conference led the world to believe that NetZero or CO2 less planet must be attained, a water cycle and circular economy leading to NetZero are inevitable for all nations to be achieved by 2075. The need to preserve, conserve, recycle and reproduce water for energy, domestic and industrial usage cannot be overemphasized. Against this backdrop of the global scenario that is dismal at best, NetZero is only the escape route. The present paper is an attempt to analyze the prospective rolegeographers across the world can play in adopting a water cycle,analyzing,a systemic approach to deliver water reuse at multiple scales, how cities can articulate and lead a system-wide transformation agenda,how urban households use water and establish a circular economy in attaining NetZero locally and globally.
COMPARATIVE STUDY FOR HYDRODESULPHURIZATION (HDS) AND HYDROGENATION OF THE CONSTITUENT ELEMENTS IN LACUSTRINE OIL SHALE DEPOSIT AT TIMAHDIT (MOROCCO)
Authors:   Department of Chemistry Faculty of Sciences Ben msik Casablanca University Hassan II Morocco., Attaoui Abdeljabbar
Published: February 2023

Hydrodesulphurization (HDS) and hydrogenation are carried out by thermal treatment using hydrogen (H2) with the objective of either removing sulphur from the material, or improving the yield of the organic material, or finally forming hydrides by reaction of the elements contained in the mineral matrix with hydrogen. The reaction kinetics are simpler when hydrogen is used compared to pyrolysis, the order of the reaction is equal to unity (A. Attaoui: 1993). The Timahdit (Morocco) oil shale lake deposit is composed, apart from organic matter (kerogen), of a considerable number of metallic, metalloid and non-metallic elements constituting the mineral matrix. We carried out the hydrogen treatment in a dynamic regime (21Â°C/mn) in thermogravimetry by the Red-Croft balance (A. Attaoui et al: 2022). The choice of the Z1 layer of the Tarfaya marine deposit was made because of the similarity in the quantity of organic matter between this layer and that of the Timahdit deposit (M2).

GASTRO-INTESTINAL STROMAL-TUMOURs (GASTRO-INTESTINAL STROMAL-TUMOURs) are tumours of the gut found mostly in stomach and small intestine. The complications are Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, obstruction, pain and rarely perforation. We are reporting an abnormal presentation of GASTRO-INTESTINAL STROMAL-TUMOURS presenting as an acute abdomen pain with Right Iliac Fossa (RIF) mass in 57-year-old male. Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) of abdomen revealed a peripherally enhancing encapsulated abscess in RIF close to the base of caecum and surrounding peritonitis suggesting a caecal perforation. On laparotomy, a perforated ileal GASTRO-INTESTINAL STROMAL-TUMOURS was identified. Pathological examination confirmed the tumour to be a GASTRO-INTESTINAL STROMAL-TUMOUR of spindle cell type, further reiterated by immunohistochemistry. Our case report emphasizes, GASTRO-INTESTINAL STROMAL-TUMOUR are a rare differential diagnosis of RIF mass, and to have high clinical suspicion when a similar case is encountered in an emergency room, keeping in mind the poor outcome caused by delay in appropriate management of the disease.

Background: Spontaneous preterm delivery, main source of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Forecasting high-probability category for premature delivery, primarily at 34 weeks, and timely management to avert this gestational problem have thus been health-care challenge. Cervical length estimated by TVS foresee premature delivery in asymptomatic low-probability women. Methods: Prospective observational study conducted on 100 asymptomatic pregnant women who met inclusion and exclusion criteria were choosen at random. Using ultrasonography, cervical length is measured and they were followed-up after 3-4 weeks and till delivery and their gestation age at delivery, mode of delivery, birth weight of baby, NICU admissions were noted. Results: In Present study, about 47% had cervical length equal to or less than 2.5 cm. About 53% had more than 2.5 cm cervical length and about 35% of the mother delivered Preterm less than 37 weeks of gestational age & about 65% of the mother delivered at and more than 37 weeks of gestational age. Hence Cervical length estimation by transvaginal sonogram has a genuinely precise sensitivity and specificity in expectation of premature delivery. Conclusions: Preterm birth has a remarkable impact on perinatal mortality and morbidity. The use of TVS to determine the cervical length has the potential to help forecast the probability of preterm labor. Cervical length estimation at 18 to 24 weeks as standard screening strategy is practical and has great legitimacy as a successful screening test, and should be offered to all pregnant women.

The management of waste generated by hospitals, whether solid, liquid or gaseous, is a real problem given the risk it represents for human health and the environment. In order to contribute to the improvement of the management of Biomedical Waste (BMW) in health structures in Benin, a study was carried out at the hospital La Croix in Zinvie in 2014 on 105 individuals then resumed with 90 individuals in 2020. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used. The data collection instruments are the interview guide, the observation grid, the questionnaire and the laboratory analyses. From the results obtained, it appears that only 0.38% of the centers liquid biomedical waste (LBMW) is produced at the level of its various departments and constitutes infectious waste. This waste is then mixed with water similar to domestic water and discharged into the environment after a summary treatment with bleach while the values of their physico-chemical parameters (BOD5, COD) exclude all self-purification hypothesis. In addition, approximately 37302 tons of infectious solid waste and 86 kg of anatomical waste are produced and managed each year in the center. Sorting at source, which was poorly done in 2014, is increasingly done in compliance with the legislation. It is therefore urgent to generalize this practice in hospitals in Benin, to promote the installation of LBMW treatment stations and/or to recommend a categorical treatment of the latter for better environmental protection.

This study aims to analyze the validity of wills that violate absolute rights (legitimate portion) based on the Indonesian Civil Code and its legal consequences for the position of illegitimate children based on the Supreme Court Decision Number: 886 PK/Pdt/2018. In making a will, you must pay attention to the conditions regulated by law so that the will is valid. Article 913 of the Civil Code stipulates that a will may not violate the legitime portion of the heir. The study results show that the will violates the deed Legitime Portie, formally legal. Suppose it fulfills the provisions of Article 1868 of the Civil Code and Article 16 paragraph (1) letters i, j, k, and Article 38 of Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 30 of 2004 concerning the Position of Notary Public (UUJN). Materially, the willing deed that violates the legitime portie should be invalid or canceled. The right of legitimacy must be demanded by the legitimacy, as stipulated in Article 834 of the Civil Code. As long as the legitimacy does not sue, the will that violates the legitimacy remains valid and valid. Based on the court decision, the legal consequences of the violating will deed honest portie to the position of children out of wedlock, namely children out of wedlock who are recognized as heirs who are entitled to receive a legitime portie. The judge decides that the will is valid, and in its implementation, it is reduced by â…“ part legitimate portie of children out of wedlock.

In the food industry, production processes and food products are subjected to the highest possible quality control requirements. In order to safeguard the quality of a certain product along the production chain, it is important to know its composition. This, for instance, especially applies to a natural product like milk and its further processing in order to efficiently control the production of cheese and quark. Milk contains an important natural protein that is responsible for the essential curdling process during the production of cheese: casein. Casein protein provides the body with all the amino acids necessary to help build muscle. Casein protein is digested more slowly than other proteins, so it might be better at reducing appetite and increasing feeling of fullness. Effective control of the production processes of dairy products only becomes possible when the casein concentration is known. In this experiment casein content in milk and curd samples was determined at 524.5nm in visible range against biuret reagent by using simple uv-visible spectrophotometer. The curd and milk samples were collected from the local market. For quantitative determination of casein in milk and curd, classic protein analysis method was used i.e. biuret method. This method is based on biuret reaction in which colored copper based complex was formed. The casein protein concentration in curd sample was found to be 1684ppm. The concentration in milk sample 1 was found to be 2893ppm and in milk sample 2 was found to be 1522ppm.

Determination or prayer and fasting times is an obligation for Muslims as one of the requirements for the validity of the worship rituals. The period of time for the implementation of prayer and fasting is set following the movement of the sun resulting from the Earth revolution about its axis. Earths 24-hour revolution from west to east bringing about the apparent rising of the sun from the east and its setting in the west is an important factor in determining the time. However, a confusing situation arises for Muslims in determining the actual time for performing worship rituals when they are in high-rise buildings which are in the same position coordinates but at different heights as in towers and skyscraper buildings. This study intends to discuss the time zones with respect to determination of the worshipping time at the tallest skyscraper building in the world at this time i.e., Burj Khalifa. This study is qualitative research using an approach of document analysis. The results of the study found that height difference at Burj Khalifa gives rise to three different time zones according to the altitude. This can serve as a guide to other countries especially Malaysia which also has skyscrapers in the determination of prayer times in such buildings.

Published: February 2023

Introduction:Traditional wound closure techniques include skin sutures and metal clips. The ideal incision closure should be simple, effective, safe, rapid, inexpensive, painless, cosmetic, and bactericidal. Cyanoacrylate glue has good neovascularization, epithelialization,and fasterApplication.Soit can be considered an alternative for skin closures. Methods:A study was conducted on 50 individuals undergoing elective surgery in the department of general surgery. They were randomized into 2 groups. In group A skin closure was done with skin glue and in group B skin closure was done with sutures. Post-op pain was assessed with VAS and cosmesis was assessed with a modified Hollander cosmesis scale. The time taken for closure was assessed using a stopwatch. Results:Skin closure with skin glue was quicker than traditional closure. The average time for skin closure with glue was 1 minute and 14 seconds while it was 3 minutes and 47 seconds in the suture group. The postoperative pain was comparatively less in people who had closure with glue. Cosmesis was better in patients who had closure with glue compared to sutures.The overall satisfaction level was better in people who had closure with glue compared to those who had closure with sutures. Conclusion:According to this study, using skin glue for skin closure in clean surgery reduces thewound closure time with a superior cosmetic effect. The usage of skin glue can greatly save healthcare expenses and is favored by patients due to the simplicity of postoperative wound care. The study established the efficacy and advantages of this unique technique.The broad adoption of this innovative approach may drastically reduce the need for sutures in clean surgery.

Introduction-Chronic Kidney Disease is growing problem across all over world and India as well. Chronic kidney disease encompasses a spectrum of different pathophysiological processes associated with abnormal kidney function and a progressive decline in glomerular filtration rate(GFR).The risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality remains high in all stages of CKD, including in patients with hemodialysis. More patients with CKD die of CVD than of the progression of kidney failure.The increase of homocysteine level, referred as hyperhomocysteinemia, is highly prevalent in CKD patients and associated with an increased risk of CVD complications. Proposed mechanisms for hyperhomocysteinemia in kidney failure is due to reduced clearance of total plasma homocysteine (tHcy) secondary to defective kidney and/or extra kidney metabolism of tHcy and deficiencies of folate, vitamin B12, and pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP). Aim-To study Serum Homocysteine levels in patients with Chronickidney disease and to estimate Serum Homocysteine levels in different stages of Chronic kidney disease. Materials And Methods- All the patients presenting with clinical, biochemical and ultrasound kidney evidence of chronic kidney disease in department of medicine at tertiary care centre in northern Maharashtra. Normal plasma homocysteine level was considered to bebelow 15 umol/litre. Results- A study of 54 patients with Chronic Kidney disease of both sex were taken as sample. Of the 54 patients 38 were males and 16 were females .36 patients were in age range of 41-60 . 32 patients were in stage 5 CKD , 14 were in stage 4 CKD , 8 were in stage 3 CKD. Hyperhomocysteinemia was observed in 78 % of CKD patients. Serum Homocysteinemia levels were maximum in patients with higher grade of CKD. The associationbetween decreased GFR and increase in serum homocysteine levels was found to be statistically significant. (p<0.05). Conclusion-Study concludes that hyperhomocysteinemia is highly prevalent in CKD patients. Homocysteine is commonly considered as toxicthrombogenic amino acid which causes atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Mortality due to cardiovascular diseases is high in CKD. Hence early screening and treatment for Hyperhomocysteinemia should be done in CKD to prevent cardiovascular diseases.

The cultivation of apple tree is highly dependent on meteorological variables, especially temperature. The link between accumulation of degree-days (DD) and accumulation of chilling hours (CH) are determinant to field success, in the context of climate change. The objective of this study was to quantify the accumulation of DD necessary during the reproductive phenological stages for cultivar IAPAR 75 Eva, considering the accumulation of CH during the period of dormancy. The study was carried out at the Experimental Station from the Rural Development Institute of Paraná IAPAR-EMATER, in the municipality of Palmas, Paraná State, Brazil. The evaluations were from 2013 to 2019, showing for each three days, the phenological phases and the value of DD and CH. The results were submitted the simple and multiple correlation by the R® software. We verified the influence of the increase in temperature on the cycle acceleration, in addition, it was verified a tendency of less requirement for DD to advance the cultivar cycle. Were verified the value of chilling hours as 281, 156, 84, 326, 96, 76 and 11 hours of chill, respectively, and the consequent accumulation of DD to breaking dormancy was appointed as 1093, 1156, 1574, 1157, 1834, 1096 and 1838 DD, respectively. We concluded that CH causes impact in DD accumulation to development of apple tree. Higher temperatures accelerate the apple tree development. With the information of CH accumulation in dormancy, it is possible estimate the quantity of DD to develop the phenological phases. This information contributes to agricultural planning for cultivar Eva farmers

The global population reached 7.9 billion in 2021, which represents a 160% increase in the number of people to be fed since 1960. Agricultural systems must sustainably meet food demand for this growing population while minimizing or mitigating potential environmental impacts, which are of growing concern to both consumers and the scientific community. High protein animal products (meat and milk) play a crucial part in human nutrition and pastures represent ~20% of the planet’s surface. Pastoral areas have a great influence on both ecological balance and human subsistence. Ruminant livestock production systems are hotly debated because of the emission of methane, which is produced during enteric fermentation of ingested food within the rumen. Methanogenesis is a naturally occurring process in the digestive system of ruminant animals and ingesting a high-quality diet has been shown to reduce methane production. An additional function of pastoral grasslands is the capacity of the soils to operate as carbon sinks. Well managed pastures absorb carbon from the atmosphere where it can add to soil organic matter directly, through residue decomposition or excrement returns. However, in Brazil and globally, the efficiency of animal productivity tends to be lower in extensively grazed farming systems. Changes to pasture and grazing management in combination with the adoption of technology is necessary to improve the quality of pastures, increase animal productivity, and consequently reduce methane emissions from ruminant livestock. This review will discuss how to improve the conversion efficiency using pasture management to reduce or mitigate enteric methane production.

Brachiaria brizantha cv. MG5 has been increasingly used in pasture establishment to intensify production systems and increase yield and quality of forage. However, Brazilian soils are deficient in Boron and Zinc, which are essential elements for plant growth and development. Thus, to improve physical and chemical quality of brachiaria seeds, doses of boric acid (H3BO3) and zinc sulfate (ZnSO4.7H2O) were added to the calcium silicate and sand coating of the seeds, using a rotary coater. We tested 11 independent treatments in laboratory and greenhouse, where the seeds were evaluated for physical and physiological quality and the initial growth of the plants. At the end of the evaluations, the collected data were submitted to statistical analysis. There was an increase of up to 320% in seed mass with the seed-coating method tested. The treatment with 10 g H3BO3 + 5 g of ZnSO4.7H2O.kg-1/seeds enhanced plant growth and did not affect the physiological quality of the seeds. Thus, the seeds are ready to be tested in the implementation of pastures. The combinations of 25g H3BO3 + 5 g of ZnSO4.7H2O.kg-1 /seeds and 25g H3BO3 + 15g of ZnSO4.7H2O.kg-1 /seeds reduced seed vigor and are not suitable for seed coating of Brachiaria brizantha cv. MG5

The objective of the present study was to assess the accuracy of analyzing quantitative and qualitative descriptors separately or combined to differentiate Capsicum accessions. We assessed 47 Capsicum accessions from the UFV Vegetable Germplasm Bank (BGH-UFV) with botanical classification previously known. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with four replicates. Variables consisted of 16 morphological descriptors proposed by the IPGRI. Analysis of quantitative descriptors alone was performed by calculating the Mahalanobis distance matrix (D1), while qualitative descriptors alone were analyzed using the simple coincidence index (D2). The joint analysis consisted of the sum of the distance matrices D1 and D2, and the joint calculation of both descriptors using Gower’s algorithm. Association between the distance matrices was assessed by Mantel’s correlation test, and accession clustering was performed using the UPGMA method. There was genetic variability amongst Capsicum accessions for both quantitative and qualitative traits. Accession clustering was more accurate when performed using the distances obtained by the simple coincidence index (qualitative descriptors alone) and the Gower’s algorithm (qualitative and quantitative descriptors combined)

To evaluate the physiological potential of the seeds, the tetrazolium test would be an interesting alternative, as it is a quick test that provides a detailed analysis of viability and vigor. Therefore, it is necessary to define pre-conditioning conditions, such as temperature and duration of soaking, concentration of the tetrazolium solution, and method of exposing the seeds to staining. Moringa oleifera Lam., belonging to the family Moringaceae, is widely distributed in tropical countries and easily adapted to semi-arid conditions, possessing medicinal value, as forage, condiment, in the cosmetics industry, melliferous, fuel, and in water purification treatment through the coagulant solution made from seeds. Based on the above, the objectives of the present work were to establish the most appropriate procedure for conducting the tetrazolium test to evaluate the viability and vigor of M. oleifera seeds. Only the cotyledons containing the embryo were placed in 50 mL plastic cups and immersed in a solution of 2,3,5-triphenyl chloride tetrazolium salt at concentrations of 0.05; 0.075 and 0.1% for staining periods of 1, 2, and 3 hours in a Biochemical Oxygen Demand chamber at 30 ºC in the dark. The seeds were evaluated one by one for tissue condition (firm or flaccid) and seed color, and by the location and size of the lesions on the cotyledon and embryonic axis. For the standardization of the tetrazolium test, the Completely Randomized Design was used in a 3x3+1 factorial scheme (three concentrations of tetrazolium solution x three staining periods + control = germination test) with four repetitions of 25 seeds. M. oleifera seeds were found to have a high germination rate (100%), there was no significant difference between the control and the percentage of viable seeds (TZ) for the 2 and 3 hours staining periods, immersed in tetrazolium solution at concentrations of 0.075 (96%) and 0.05% (99%), respectively. The most appropriate procedure for conducting the tetrazolium test to assess the viability and vigor of M. oleifera seeds is to use a concentration of 0.05% for 3 hours of salt immersion

The desiccation (burn down) time of high-biomass pasture in no-tillage system and nitrogen (N) fertilization of pasture and soybean can influence the crop performance under crop-livestock system. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of desiccation times of palisadegrass pasture combined with three N fertilization levels of pasture and two N fertilization levels of soybean on crop yield, yield components and grain oil and protein concentration. Three N rates in the U. brizantha cv. BRS Piatã pasture were evaluated (0; 150 and 300 kg ha-1 of N as urea) in three different experiments. In each experiment, five pasture desiccation periods (60; 45; 30; 15 and 1 days before soybean sowing) and two levels of N fertilization of soybean (30 kg ha-1 of N distributed as urea at sowing + a control without urea) were evaluated. A randomized complete block design with five replications was used for each experiment. After statistical analysis of each experiment, a joint analysis of the three experiments was performed, allowing the comparison of the three rates of N in the pasture. The time interval between Urochloa brizantha pasture desiccation and soybean sowing did not influence soybean yield, yield components or the grain oil and protein concentrations, regardless of N fertilization of pasture and soybean. N fertilization of pasture induced a taller soybean plant height, insertion height of first pod, increased lodging, and reduced yield, but did not change the grain oil and protein concentration, regardless of the pasture desiccation time and N fertilization of soybean. Soybean grain yield was negatively affected by N fertilization of the crop, regardless of fertilization levels and desiccation times of the previous pasture
