Applied Environmental Research
Emerging contaminants have posed major environmental and health challenges to human and aquatic lives. They include pharmaceuticals, endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), persistent environmental pollutants and many more. EE2 is an example of an endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) increasingly gaining acceptance and used to augment the deficiencies of other reproductive hormones. EE2 constitutes environmental nuisance via discharge into aquatic bodies, thus, threatening aquatic lives and resulting in health defects in human. It is worthy of note that previous researchers have channeled their studies to identifying ways of expelling EE2 from the environment. However, they remain persistent in the environment. The current …

Effects Of A Telehealth Program On The Functional Status And Rehospitalization Rates Of Patients After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts, Nattaya Sanonoi, Usavadee Asdornwised, Kessiri Wongkongkam, Teerapong Tocharoenchok
Chulalongkorn Medical Journal
Background: Patients with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) exhibit a decrease in functional status during the postoperative period. The rehospitalization rate within the first month is 8.0% - 21.0%. Therefore, during the first month after discharge, most patients require help from health care teams. Telehealth programs promote health monitoring and share health information remotely during transitional stages, encouraging awareness, increasing cardiac rehabilitation and physical function. As a result, the number of rehospitalizations is also reduced. Objectives: This quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effects of a telehealth program on the functional status and rehospitalization rates of patients with CABG. Methods: …

Early pregnancy diagnosis following insemination is an important component of the reproductive management program to shorten the calving interval in water buffaloes. A recent method to detect pregnancy in dairy animals is through pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs) that are present during implantation and throughout the gestation period. In this study, milk PAG Enzyme-Link Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique was used and run in parallel with blood PAG ELISA for its efficiency in detecting early pregnancy in lactating buffaloes. Fixed Time Artificial Insemination (FTAI) was conducted in lactating buffaloes followed by the collection of milk and blood samples postFTAI. Samples were then assayed …

Investigation Of The Mechanical And Grounding Characteristics Of The Domestic Cat’S Paw Pads Based On Gait Analysis, Ye Mei, Guolin Wang, Haichao Zhou, Congzhen Liu
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
The paw pads, which can produce moderate changes that are reflected in mechanical and grounding characteristics, play an important role for domestic cats in realizing their biological characteristics. The purpose of this study was to investigate these moderate changes of paw pads in various gaits i.e. walking, trotting and emergency stop gaits based on the ground reaction forces and contact strain experiments to obtain the mechanical and grounding shape representations. The results proved that with the change of gait, the representations changed obviously. For the ground reaction forces, the response of the fore paw pads was more sensitive than that …

Escherichia coli is a primary reservoir of antimicrobial resistance, known chiefly for the container of AMR-encoding genes (ARGs), and poses potential risks to human and animal health. This study investigated AMR phenotypes and ARGs in 90 E. coli isolates from different pig groups in 10 farms in southern Vietnam. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 19 common antimicrobial agents was determined, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to investigate seven ARGs (blaTEM, aadA1, strA, dfrA12, sul3, cmlA and tetA). Cohen’s kappa statistic (κ) was applied to assess the concordance between phenotypic and genotypic profiles. A total of 81.1% of …

Brucellosis, caused by a facultative intracellular bacterium, induces great economic loss in the livestock economy worldwide. In this study, the abortion problem in an Anatolian water buffalo herd was investigated by pathological, bacteriological and serological means. An aborted fetus as well as blood and milk samples from 4 buffalo cows with abortion history were studied. The thoracic and abdominal cavities of the aborted fetus were filled with serohemorrhagic fluid, and abomasum had yellowish brown fluid containing fibrous material in it. Bronchointerstitial pneumonia was recognized in the lung tissues. Brucella (B.) abortus biotype 3 was isolated from the aborted fetus. Blood …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Patterns of use of anti-parasitic agents (APAs) on animals presented for veterinary care at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Nsukka, Nigeria, from January 2013 to December 2017 were surveyed. Animals presented were predominantly dogs (84.0%) and goats (8.1%). A total of 4851 cases were evaluated, out of which 3196 (65.9%) were treated with APAs. There was a significant variation (p=0.002) in the annual frequency of use of APAs across the study period, but the effect size of the variation was small (ɸc=0.06). Ivermectin was the most frequently used APA (1479 out of the 3196 = 46.3%); followed by praziquantel-pyrantel-fenbendazole combined formulation …

Sesame seeds are used in many traditional Japanese foods for their flavor and taste but commercial sesame can be highly contaminated with bacteria. We therefore examined the bacterial populations, including Bacillus spp., Enterobacteriaceae bacteria and standard plate count bacteria in sesame samples purchased from markets in Japan. A total of 8 sesame samples were tested, of which 4 (50.0%) harbored 4.3–5.6 log cfu/g standard plate count and 2.7–4.3 log cfu/g Enterobacteriaceae bacilli. Pantoea dispersa, P. septica and P. agglomerans were identified by a MALDI-TOF MSbased test. One (12.5%) sample harbored 3.6 log cfu/g Bacillus cereus, but this strain lacked the …

Palm kernel meal (PKM) is a byproduct produced after oil extraction from palm kernels. It is a valuable source of fiber, energy and protein which can reduce the cost of total mixed ration (TMR). This study was conducted to assess the growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality of lambs fed TMR pellet with PKM. A total of 32, three-month-old male lambs were randomly distributed into two diets (PTMR1= 0; PTMR2= 200 kg PKM/ton TMR). Results of the study showed that the production performance and the characteristics, composition and fat content of carcasses, as well as meat quality traits were …

Ultrasonographic measurements of extra-foetal or foetal structures have been reported as an accurate means of predicting the date of parturition in the bitch. However, for many years, radiography has been clinically useful for pregnancy diagnosis, determining the number of foetuses and prolonged foetal death. Guidelines for estimating the canine parturition date based on foetal skeletal mineralization in relation to gestational age and preovulatory LH surge have been applied in small animal practice. The aims of this retrospective study were to evaluate the accuracy of parturition date prediction using foetal radiographic findings in small size dogs (1-10 kg), and to determine …

Swine influenza virus (SIV) causes respiratory disease in pigs leading to economic losses in swine production. Some SIV subtypes can also infect human and considered as a zoonotic pathogen. The importants of swine influenza are not only impact on the economic losses but also the human health. The objectives of this study were to develop a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification combined with lateral flow device assay (RT-LAMP-LFD) for the detection of SIVs and to evaluate the performance, sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Our result showed that RTLAMP-LFD assay was developed with six newly designed primers and with optimum …
