title: Extraction and quantification of antivenomous antibodies in chicken eggs against scorpion venom

description: ABSTRACT: Avian-derived IgY is thought to be the best therapy for scorpion bites concerning low-level side effects. The present study analyzed a hypothesis about the neutralization of scorpion venom Androcotonus australis through antibodies produced in the egg yolks of chickens. The venom used for inoculation was obtained from Androctonus australis (yellow fat-tailed scorpion) from southern Punjab, Pakistan. The lethal dose of LD50 against scorpion venom was calculated in chickens and mice. Safe doses were given to egg-laying chickens to produce IgY antibodies. The antivenom IgY antibodies were extracted from the egg yolks of immunized chicken using the polyethylene glycol (PEG) method. Moreover, IgY was confirmed through sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and the Ouchterlony double immunodiffusion assay test. The antibody titers were evaluated by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The neutralisation capacity of extracted anti-scorpion antibodies was tested on mice. The calculated LD50 of scorpion venom for chicken and mice was 4 mg/kg and 2.5 mg/kg, respectively. SDS-PAGE and Ouchterlony double immunodiffusion confirmed the presence of IgY against scorpion venom. The maximum titer value of specific IgY produced against scorpion venom was 3.5 ug/ml. A concentration of 220 ul/LD50 was effective to neutralize 1 mg of scorpion venom. It is suggested that IgY obtained from egg yolks is safe against targeted venom and can be used as an effective alternative to equine IgG antibodies against scorpion envenoming.

title: Carpal valgus angle deviation in thoroughbred foals corrected using single transphyseal screw implant

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the single transphyseal screw technique in foals diagnosed with carpal valgus deviation. This study included 22 thoroughbred animals of both sexes, with a mean age of 30 days. All animals had a carpal valgus deviation &gt;5° with irregular development of the distal epiphysis of the radius. All animals were surgically treated to correct the carpal valgus deviation by creating a bridge using a single transphyseal screw. Surgical intervention was performed for 40 limbs, comprising 19 right and 21 left thoracic limbs. This corresponded to four animals with carpal valgus deviation &gt;5° in only one of the limbs and 18 with the deviation in both limbs. It was observed that 38/40 treated limbs (95%) achieved normal angulation according to the literature, i.e., angulation between 0° and 5°. No statistical differences were observed between the affected limbs. The single transphyseal screw technique can be used for the correction of carpal valgus deviation in foals. It is indicated in animals with an average age of 30 days (20-55 days), as its main advantages are rapid application, simple execution, and limited trans- and post-surgical complications, making it an effective procedure in thoroughbred foals with carpal valgus angular deviation.

title: REASSESSMENT OF FATTY INFILTRATION BY MAGNETIC RESONANCE TEN YEARS AFTER ROTATOR CUFF INJURY REPAIR

description: ABSTRACT Quantitative assessments of rotator cuff muscle changes after successful tendon repair are scarce. On the other hand, semiquantitative and subjective assessments are more abundant, but their findings are controversial. One hypothesis about this divergence is that there is an immediate decrease in the proportion of fatty infiltration after surgical repair. Objective: Reassess fatty infiltration and muscle trophism of the rotator cuff after ten years of repair. Methods: Prospective comparison study. A total of 10 patients diagnosed with rotator cuff injury underwent repair of the lesion, and MRI of the affected shoulder was performed in the preoperative, immediate postoperative, and late postoperative periods (ten years). A comparative study was performed at every moment. Results: At 5% significance level, the mean of the immediate postoperative period was higher for the variable trophism and true muscle percentage. Fatty infiltration showed no difference in the three periods observed. Conclusion: Fatty infiltration does not change in the three periods evaluated and muscle trophism is greater in the immediate postoperative period. After ten years of rotator cuff repair, muscle trophism and fatty infiltration remain with statistically significantly equal results when compared to the preoperative period. Level of Evidence II, Prospective Comparison Study.

title: COMPLICATIONS AFTER SURGICAL TREATMENT OF JUPITER’S MONTEGGIA TYPE II FRACTURES

description: ABSTRACT Monteggia fracture-dislocations are rare injuries, affecting about 2-5% of the population. Jesse Jupiter subdivided Bado’s Type II fractures into four types, all of which presented an associated radial head fracture. Associated chondral and ligament injuries can evolve with postoperative complications. Objective: To evaluate the incidence of complications and risk factors that may influence the postoperative outcomes of Jupiter lesions. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted with surgically treated patients. The characteristics related to fractures and surgical approaches were evaluated and these variables were correlated with radiographic and functional postoperative complications. Results: A total of 15 patients were evaluated, mostly men and with a higher prevalence of Types IIA and IID. The most frequent complications were heterotopic ossification and osteolysis around the radial head prosthesis. Postoperative instability occurred only in the lateral collateral ligament. According to MEPS functional score, 53% of the patients evolved with unfavorable outcomes. Conclusion: The studied cases evolved with high rates of postoperative complications, mainly in Jupiter’s Type IID fractures and associated coronoid fractures. Level of Evidence III, Therapeutic Study.

title: Rumen fermentation of feed samples incubated in filter bags made from different textiles or dispersed in the medium using an in vitro gas production system

description: ABSTRACT: The effect of different feed substrates incubated in filter bags [no bag (NB); Ankom® F57, 25 μm pore size (25AN); polyester, 45 μm pore size (45PB); polyester, 67 μm pore size (67PB) ] or dispersed in the medium on gas production, digestion and rumen fermentation was evaluated using an in vitro gas production system. Filter bags reduced (P &lt; 0.01) gas production but increased (P &lt; 0.01) the in vitro dry matter digestibility (45PB and 67PB). Additionally, the use of filter bags with smaller pore size, reduced total volatile fatty acid (P &lt; 0.01), but had minimal effects on acetate, propionate, and butyrate concentration. Our research suggested that using filter bags with a pore size of 67 µ would reduce some negative effects of incubating feed substrate dispersed in the medium or in filter bags with smaller pore size. However, the use of bags with a larger pore size might allow the wash out of small feed particles with consequent overestimation of digestibility.

title: Adaptability and stability of mungbean genotypes in the Mid-North of Mato Grosso, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Evaluation of genotype x environment interactions is essential in plant breeding aimed at adapting crops to new settings. Considering the need for research on the adaptation of mungbean to grain-production regions of Brazil, this study evaluated the agronomic performance, adaptability, and stability of mungbean production in the mid-north of Mato Grosso using different genotypes. Two experiments (with and without fertilizer application) were carried out in Sorriso and Sinop in 2019 and 2020, totaling eight environments. The treatments were 10 mungbean lines and the control cultivar BRSMG Camaleão. In general, significant differences among the treatments were observed in the yield, mass of 100 grains, and value for cultivation. The genotype x environment interactions were significant for yield. On average, the yield was in the range of 734-1305 kg ha-1, the mass of 100 grains was 4.63-6.56 g, and the value for cultivation was 2.08-3.56. Genotypes BRA-08654-1, BRA-000027, BRA-084654-2, and BG3 combined high average yield and mass of 100 grains. These genotypes also showed good adaptability for cultivation in the mid-north of Mato Grosso. The yellow seed-coated genotype BRA-084689 also showed good agronomic performance and adaptability. Genotypes BRA-08654-1, BRA-000027, BRA-084654-2, BRA-084689, and BG3 are promising for further experiments evaluating the value for cultivation and use, the final breeding stage consisting of tests at a national level.

title: Effects of animal type, handling, and transportation conditions on beef cattle temperament pre-slaughter

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the effects of animal type, on-farm handling, and transport conditions on temperament of beef cattle pre-slaughter. The study evaluated 4,061 cattle batches, averaging 49 animals, with a total of 199,026 cattle. Temperament was evaluated through a behavioral assessment carried out based on the temperament shown by cattle when approached by humans. One of three different temperament scores were assigned to each batch: calm, anxious, or excitable. Excitable temperament was reported in animals subjected to long transport time and distance and high loading density. The degree of carcass fatness was higher in calm animals, followed by anxious animals, with the excited temperament animals having the lowest carcass fatness degree. Older animals showed more excitable temperament, while younger animals showed calmer temperament. The excitable temperament was more evident in horned animals in relation to polled animals. Animal temperament was more reactive in batches with older cattle, low carcass fatness degree, and with more than 20% horned animals. Good handling and loading facilities and procedures at the farm contributed to adequate cattle temperament expression prior to slaughter.

title: Stories of lesbians joined in a “queer confraternity” in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil

description: Abstract This article presents stories of a fraternity of lesbians now elderly who lived their youth in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The objective here is to describe how a group of lesbians formed a fraternity from the late 70’s and early 80’s, and departing from their experiences, reflect on lesbian invisibility in the light of heteronormativity. We use the concept of stigma to capture the elements that kept the generation of homosexual women between the ghetto, the closet and invisibility, as well as to learn about the alternatives adopted by them to establish amorous relationships with other women. The data collected in the in-depth interviews bring to light the strategies adopted by to construct their identities and safe territories that allowed them to experience their homoerotic desires and socialize among equals. The ghettos found or built by them provided the experience of their forbidden affections and the creation of long-lived and persistent bonds of friendship that ended up consolidated in a powerful support network among them in old age.

title: Experimental study on flexural creep of self-compacting concrete reinforced with vegetable and synthetic fibers

description: Abstract This article evaluates the impact of different fiber types on the flexural creep of self-compacting concretes (SCC). The study focuses on the effects of vegetable fibers (Hemp, [H] and Dis [D]) and synthetic fibers (Polypropylene [P]) on SCC. To assess the SCC, various tests such as spreading, J Ring, compressive strength, and flexural strength are conducted. The authors developed a test configuration and methodology to subject beams measuring 120 cm in length to sustained flexural stresses for 200 days. Two curing modes of the beams are also studied: total creep (beams exposed to air) and endogenous creep (beams protected from air). Moreover, the plant fibers were previously subjected to two treatments separately; the first involves immersing them in a 5% alkaline solution of NaOH (HN and DN) and the second in a solution of the polymer styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) (HS and DS). The findings show that the treatment of vegetable fibers by SBR reveals high mechanical properties as well as a good capacity for endogenous and total creep. SCC-DS shows an increase in flexural strength of 9% and 13% with a decrease in total creep of 4% and 16% compared to SCC without fiber and SCC-DN, respectively. These results are promising for further reflection on a large scale to explore the issue of strengthening SCC with treated vegetable fibers.
