Abstract Aim Ankle fractures are common, and the majority result of low energy torsional trauma. The aim treatment is to restore maintain stability alignment joint, ideally with normal anatomy ankle mortise. According BOAST guidelines for fractures, Early fixation within 24-48 hours recommended in patients under 60 years when mortise unstable. This study aimed at assessing our practice managing...

One of the constraints in development dairy industry country is limited number animals which only 14% are goats providing 1% total volume local milk production. Meanwhile, increasing goat population hindered by lack or high price breeder that can be used improving our stocks. To spur with genetic potential for dairying among farms Region 3, Philippines, artificial insemination (AI) was applied ...

In this paper, we propose a new full-fuzzy video ratecontrol algorithm (RCA) for variable bit rate (VBR) videoapplications. The proposed RCA provides high qualitycompressed video with a low degree computational complexity.By controlling the quantization parameter (QP) on a picturebasis, it produces VBR video bit streams. The proposed RCAhas been implemented on the JM H.264/AVC video codec andth...

The Editors provide a list of the 237 reviewers from 43 countries who assessed manuscripts for Parasite in 2015 and 2016 and thank them for their help. The rejection rate has been about 50% since 2013. The mean time from submission to final publication was 104 days in 2016. The Impact Factor of Parasite has risen from 0.822 (published in 2014) to 1.781 (published in 2016). All papers published ...

During deep anestrus and after a 21-day fluorogestone acetate (FGA) treatment, 200 pluriparous lactating Alpine goats were given randomly one of four treatments: (A) 500 IU of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) 48 h before sponge removal; (B) 500 IU of PMSG 48 h before sponge removal and an ampoule of human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) at sponge removal; (C) two ampoules of HMG at sponge ...

The possible effect of body condition score (BCS) on ovarian function, sexual behavior, (i.e., females and males; appetitive consummative), estrus, ovulation, reproductive performance was investigated in crossbred dairy goats under extensive conditions. Based their BCS, female (n = 48) were divided into two experimental groups, either with a low (LG; 1.0 ± 0.2 units; n 26) or high BCS (HG: 2.5 ...

For enzymatic progress curves conforming to the Michaelis–Menten mechanism (E + S ES → E + P) under the experimental conditions where the substrate concentration is at least several times smaller than the Michaelis constant, the minimal fitting model cast as a system of numerically integrated differential equations is the simple ‘hit-and-run’ mechanism, E + S → E + P. The best-fit value of sing...

The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of a 5-day progesterone priming prior to a GnRH-PGF2alpha treatment on reproductive performance of anestrous goats. Thirty-six Mountain Black goats were randomly assigned in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement and were administered intravaginally on day -12, either with 300 mg progesterone inserts (CGPE and CGP) or with 0 mg progesterone (G...
