A recent publication identifies npas4l as the gene defective in the well-known cloche mutant that lacks most endothelial as well as hematopoietic cells. This work poses intriguing questions as to the genetic and molecular nature of the origin of hemato-vascular lineages during early embryogenesis.

This prospective study was conducted on 15 animals (eight buffaloes and seven cows), diagnosed with late pregnancy indigestion. Ten buffaloes and 10 cows served as the control group. The animals were in advanced pregnancy and had partial or complete anorexia, reduced water intake, loss of defecation or scanty faecal output, and mild to moderate dehydration. Heart and respiration rates were incr...

Introduction Hyperlactatemia is often associated with poor clinical outcomes. Mortality is increased when lactic acidosis with low-flow states or sepsis. For improving poor prognosis, early detection and intervention of hyperlactatemia are important. There are call for monitoring blood lactate level. However, hyperlactatemia is often associated with type II lactic acidosis in hemato-oncologic m...
