OBJECTIVE To compare milk yield among cows classified as nonlame, moderately lame, and lame and to examine the relationship between severity of lameness and milk yield in cows classified as lame during the first 100 days after parturition. DESIGN Longitudinal study. ANIMALS 465 Holstein cows. PROCEDURE Cows were examined weekly during the first 100 days after parturition and assigned a la...

Introduction: The present systematic review and meta-analysis aims to conduct a comprehensive and complete search of electronic resources to investigate the role of administrating Chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) in improving complications following Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI). Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Sciences databases were searched until the end of 2019. Two independent reviewe...

A seven point locomotion scoring scale, ranging from 0=normal locomotion to 6=unable to stand or move, has been developed. To test the between and within observer reliability of the scale, 65 movie clips of sheep with normal and varying degrees of abnormal locomotion were made. Three observers familiar with sheep locomotion were trained to read the movie clips. Thirty clips were randomly select...

BackgroundIdiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) presents typical radiological signs that have been summarised in a semi-quantitative scale named the iNPH Radscale. However, Radscale's predictive value for response to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tap test has never studied. This study aims investigate if Radscale can predict locomotion improvement after CSF test.MethodsA total of 100 pati...

The episodic nature of locomotion is thought to be controlled by descending inputs from the brainstem. Most studies have largely attributed this control to initiating excitatory signals, but little is known about putative commands that may specifically determine locomotor offset. To link identifiable brainstem populations to a potential locomotor stop signal, we used developmental genetics and ...

objective: the cows that don’t have access to sufficient energy in their ration can get sickness. milk production has a high priority in metabolism of dairy cows so lactating cows are more prone to get sick this can ruin all the benefits of higher milk yield because of the higher prevalence of the disorders. methods: data for this research had gathered from a herd with 1600 holstein cattle in e...

Materials and methods The purpose of this study was to compare data obtained from a statewide data set for elderly patients (> 65 years) that presented with severe traumatic brain injury with data from nonelderly patients < 65 years) with similar injuries. MATERIAL-METHODS During the last 6 years(2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008) 200 (130 men-65%and 70 women-35%-) patients were examined. 110 of th...

Lameness, one of the most important disorders in dairy industry, is related to postpartum diseases and has an effect on cow welfare, leading changes cows' daily behavioral variables. This study quantified lameness time budget cows transition period. In total, 784 multiparous from 8 commercial Dutch farms were visually scored their locomotion (score 1–5) body condition 1–5). Each was early late ...
