AIM To investigate collagen patches seeded with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and/or tenocytes (TCs) with regards to their suitability for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair. METHODS Dynamic intraligamentary stabilization utilizes a dynamic screw system to keep ACL remnants in place and promote biological healing, supplemented by collagen patches. How these scaffolds interact with cells ...

Researches on feeding with Biolekks premix and bentonite clay to pigs for fattening were conducted. It was established that the tested additives have beneficial effect on animals. However the greatest effect was obtained with combined feeding. So the live weight of pigs increased by 5.2% (at P≤0.999), surviving – by 4%, the level of profitability of pork production – by 18.6%, also revealed was...

Of 7320 equine foals reported born alive during 1997 on 1043 operations that had equids on 1 January 1997, and that participated in the United States National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) Equine 1998 Study, 120 foals were reported to have died (by either euthanasia or natural causes) within the first 2 days of a live birth. The weighted estimate was 1.7% mortality (standard error=0.5...

The fortification of wheat flour with micronutrients is a common strategy to increase vitamin and mineral intake. While wheat flour mills are often inspected by agencies affiliated with national ministries to ensure compliance with national fortification standards, few countries use data derived from these inspections to construct an external monitoring system for use in program management and ...
