Nowadays, Histology is a science that is considered the "gold standard" to access anatomical information at a cellular level. In histology studies, tissue samples are cut into very thin sections, stained, and observed under the microscope by a specialist. Such studies, mainly about tissue structures, acellular components and their interactions, can be useful for the detection and diagnosis of c...

BACKGROUND Empty screw holes after hardware removal are stress risers that weaken bone and can lead to refracture in an active individual. We sought to reduce these stress risers. We hypothesize that resorbable screws used as hole fillers would (1) provide immediate strength and (2) maintain this strength during resorption. METHODS Randomized, prospective controlled animal laboratory study wi...

Scientific study of animals in situ requires vigilant observation of detailed animal behavior over weeks or months. When animals live in remote and/or inhospitable locations, observation can be an arduous, expensive, dangerous, and lonely experience for scientists. Emerging advances in cloud computing, robot cameras, long-range wireless networking, and distributed sensors make feasible a new cl...

Background: Infertility as a crisis in the life of infertile couples led to difficulty in accepting and using treatment. This review aims at studying the forms of complementary medicine and its impact on infertile. Materials and Methods: Study overview, the present internet search at time scales from 1999 to 2013 databases iranian and international iranmedex, EMBASE, Uptodate, Scopus, Science- ...

This editorial is an annex, essentially an amplification of earlier Animal Feed Science and Technology (AFST) editorials which focused on analytical and statistical issues of papers submitted for publication in AFST. This amplification is needed because, since publication of those editorials, there has been a sharp increase in papers submitted to AFST (particularly in vitro gas, ruminal in sacc...

The health of an animal is always at risk from a variety of infections. Infections in animals, whether clinically manifest or subclinical may, when the animals are used in biomedical research, produce effects that change the outcome of the experiments undertaken. Depending upon the specific infection a variety of biological parameters may be affected such as behaviour, growth rate, relative org...

Formal models of animal sensorimotor behavior can provide e ective methods for generating robotic intelligence. In this paper we describe how schema-theoretic models of the praying mantis are implemented on a hexapod robot equipped with a real-time color vision system. The model upon which the implementation is based was developed by ethologists studying mantids. This implementation incorporate...

BACKGROUND Antimicrobial use in livestock is one of the factors contributing to selection and spread of resistant microorganisms in the environment. National veterinary antimicrobial consumption monitoring programs are therefore in place in a number of countries in the European Union. However, due to differences in methodology, results on veterinary antimicrobial consumption from these national...
