Background: Statins are effective therapeutic agents for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Their favorable effects on various aspects oral health including promising bone metabolism and pleiotropic impacts such as anti-inflammatory properties made these drugs a current area interest in field orthodontics. Therefore, aim this study was to evaluate statins orthodontic tooth movement (OTM)...

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect pen stocking density on animal performance, social behavior, and dirtiness in fattening bulls. Two hundred sixty-three bulls (250 ± 24.7 kg BW, 193 13.2 d age) were group-housed fed concentrate unprocessed straw separately, both ad libitum. Animals assigned one 2 different treatments: 1) LOW (n=112), 14 bulls/pen (5.1 m2/bull 5 bulls/fee...

Currently, a pharmacological disease-modifying treatment for dementia is not available, but different non-pharmacological approaches appear to be useful. In this chapter, we describe traditional treatments such as cognitive and emotion-oriented interventions, sensory and multi-sensory stimulation interventions and also potential‐ ly alternative interesting options such as behavioural therapy, a...

In this article, the growing problem of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) worldwide, treatments for severe ROP including standard-of-care laser treatment, and the need for new treatments are discussed. Also discussed are the reasons to consider inhibiting the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway in severe ROP and the concerns about broad VEGF inhibition. Finally, the poten...

OBJECTIVES Loxosceles reclusa (brown recluse) spider bites can produce severe skin lesions that may necessitate extensive surgical repair. This study delineated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on these lesions by performing a prospective controlled animal study. METHODS After approval by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, 41 New Zealand white rabbits received 64 i...

Continuous culture and in vivo experiments were conducted to measure changes in ruminal fermentation and animal performance when crude glycerol was added to diets. For the continuous culture experiment (n = 6), diets consisted of 4 levels of crude glycerol (0, 5, 10, and 20%) that replaced corn grain. Dry matter and OM digestibility decreased linearly (P < 0.05) when crude glycerol increased in...

Abstract Concerns about the use of in animal feed antibiotics are growing. It is, therefore necessary to develop alternative products that can replace antimicrobial additives. Thus, our objective was evaluate effects associating additives on feedlot performance Nellore bulls. bulls (n= 160; iBW, 380± 5.8 kg; age, 18 mo) were allocated 20 pens (n=8/pen), a completely randomized block design, acc...

Life expectancy is increasing in muscular dystrophies: as an example due to technical medical interventions like spine surgery and home ventilation, boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy become men. Increasing evidence concerning retarding drugs becomes available for muscular dystrophies. Cardiac symptoms can effectively be treated with drugs and also cardioprotective drugs are tested. New reta...

In 2014, EFSA received a mandate from the European Commission (EC) to assess risk and consequences of introduction new vector-borne diseases (VBDs), determine if further measures were needed. To support work, comprehensive systematic extraction data literature was conducted, covering 36 VBDs in 18 host mammalian species. Regular updates this corpus scientific evidence are needed assessments. Th...
