Twenty nonpregnant Angora does were used to determine seasonal effects on fleece traits, including fiber growth and follicle activity. Does grazed pastures and were supplemented with a 50% concentrate diet at a level near that required for BW maintenance. Clean fiber growth rate was greatest (p<0.05) among seasons in summer and lowest (p<0.05) in winter (1.13, 0.85, 0.98 and 1.20mg/cm(2) per da...

Abstract Introduction Plaque incision or partial excision with collagen fleece grafting and IPP implantation is a well-established treatment for severe penile curvatures associated ED. Nevertheless, multiple plaque incisions combined Tachosil® may have added advantages. Objective We demonstrate step-by-step the of case ED an over 60 degree dorsal curvature mainly on left side hour glass indenta...

OBJECTIVES To repair unexpected damage of the pulmonary artery (PA) during thoracic surgery, fibrinogen/thrombin-based collagen fleece (TachoComb(®) [TC]) can be applied as a haemostatic material. The progression of vessel restoration with TC has not been elucidated. In this study, we investigate details of the healing process with TC after PA injury using a canine model. METHODS Left thoraco...

Hypotheses on total body chemical composition were tested using data from 350 Suffolk sheep grown to a wide range of live weights, and fed in a non-limiting way, or with reduced amounts of feed, or ad libitum on feeds of reduced protein content. The sheep were from an experiment where selection used an index designed to increase the lean deposition rate while restricting the fat deposition rate...

The objective of this study was to reconstruct full thickness cartilage defects in rabbit knees with in vitro engineered cartilage tissue based on noncryopreserved and cryopreserved chondrocytes in polymer fleece scaffolds. Osteochondral defects in rabbits were filled with polymer cylinders with noncryopreserved or cryopreserved allogeneic chondrocytes and compared with empty defects and defect...

Reports of traumatic leptomeningeal cysts (TLMC) are rare in adults. The standard treatment approach is craniectomy with careful exposure of the intact dural edges, followed by duroplasty. However, occasionally, the location of the TLMC makes achieving watertight duroplasty impossible. Herein, we report the case of a 28-year-old male who presented with a soft growing mass on the vertex of his h...

The demand in the world market for high quality fine and superfine wool is increasing, responding to greater textile industry demands price incentives. There are few research studies focused on hair follicle population Merino sheep Uruguay. This study evaluates association between most relevant economical traits. work was carried out Ultrafine Australian (UAM) Dohne (DM) animals (lambs rams). P...
