An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of heavyweight pig removal and remixing on performance. The experiment used a total of 450 pigs (31 kg initial BW) that were sorted and remixed at a mean replicate BW of 73 kg. Treatments were 15 pigs/pen from initial BW to slaughter (15S), 20 pigs/pen from initial BW to time of sort and remix, then reduced to 15 pigs/pen (20/ 15), and 15 pig...

The human gastrointestinal tract is occupied by a complex and abundant microbial community reaching as high as 10 13 –10 14 microorganisms in the colon. This micro-biota participates in a symbiotic relationship with their eukaryotic host, and this partnership is viewed as essential for maintaining homeostasis. The microbiome contains a wealth of information, encompassing 150-fold as many genes ...

sheath blight disease, caused by rhizoctonia solani ag-1 ia, is one of the most serious fungal diseases of rice, worldwide. rice resistance is a relative phenomenon and disease response varied (due to complex quantitative inheritance and high environmental diversity), so an accurate disease assessment would be difficult. to detect a reliable reaction of rice in a high level of disease developme...

Background Since the success rate in older poor-responder (POR) infertile women is expected to be extremely low irrespective of the treatment protocol, clinicians continue the search for biomarkers which may predict cases in which proceeding with follicle aspiration may be appropriate. Experimental studies on murine model suggest that SCF(Stem- Cell-Factor) produced by ovarian cumulus granulosa...

Background CV8102 is a non-coding, non-capped RNA complexed with carrier peptide activating the innate (via TLR7/8, RIG-I) and adaptive immune system. 1 2 An ongoing phase I trial investigating intratumoral (i.t.) administration of in patients advanced cutaneous melanoma (cMEL), squamous cell carcinoma skin (cSCC) or head neck (hnSCC) adenoid cystic (ACC), either as single agent combination sys...

-A new classification of the higher taxonomic levels within the New World bat family Phyllostomidae is presented which designates evolutionary relationships, provides a phylogenetic framework upon which modifications can be made as new comparative data are produced, and resolves certain obvious unnatural taxa that exist in the traditional classification. This new classification is a synthesis o...

Background Current strategies based on random selection of MII-oocytes to fertilize appear unsatisfactory in selecting the best number and the most vital oocytes to fertilize especially in poor responder women in which “chronological age” does not mismatch with “biological age”. The metabolomics- profiling approach, evaluating the final products of cell regulatory process (genome/transcriptome/...
