Prospects of Robot-Assisted Mandibular Reconstruction with Fibula Flap: Comparison with a Computer-Assisted Navigation System and Freehand Technique.

Journal of reconstructive microsurgery
 Function and aesthetics have a significant impact on the quality of life in patients undergoing mandibular reconstructive surgery, but achieving satisfactory results remain challenging. The aim of the study is to investigate the feasibility and accu...

Cerium dioxide nanoparticles did not alter the functional and morphologic characteristics of ram sperm during short-term exposure.

Theriogenology
The aim of the study was to investigate the interaction and the short-term effects of increasing doses of cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) on ram spermatozoa, stored at 4 °C for up to 24 hours, on the main functional and kinematic parameters. ...

Serum profile of cytokines interferon gamma and interleukin-10 in ewes subjected to artificial insemination by cervical retraction.

Theriogenology
This study evaluated the influence of artificial insemination (AI) by cervical retraction (CRI) on serum levels of interferon gamma (IFNγ) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in ewes. Synchronized pluriparous Santa Inês ewes were subjected to natural mating (...

Estimation of extravascular lung water using the transpulmonary ultrasound dilution (TPUD) method: a validation study in neonatal lambs.

Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
Increased extravascular lung water (EVLW) may contribute to respiratory failure in neonates. Accurate measurement of EVLW in these patients is limited due to the lack of bedside methods. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the reliability ...

Selection for anthelmintic resistant Teladorsagia circumcincta in pre-weaned lambs by treating their dams with long-acting moxidectin injection.

International journal for parasitology. Drugs and drug resistance
Administration of long-acting anthelmintics to pregnant ewes prior to lambing is a common practice in New Zealand. Today, most of these products contain macrocyclic lactone (ML) actives, which because of their lipophilic nature, are detectable in the...

Compressed Sensing Reconstruction of 3D Ultrasound Data Using Dictionary Learning and Line-Wise Subsampling.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
In this paper we present a compressed sensing (CS) method adapted to 3D ultrasound imaging (US). In contrast to previous work, we propose a new approach based on the use of learned overcomplete dictionaries that allow for much sparser representations...

Predicting Weaning Weight of Romanov Lambs From Biometric Measurements Before Weaning Age Using Machine Learning Algorithms.

Veterinary medicine and science
BACKGROUND: Machine learning systems learn from historical data to forecast future outcomes. In the context of livestock farming, machine learning can be utilized to predict variables such as growth rates, milk production and breeding success by anal...

Genome Mining and Chemistry-Driven Discovery of a Cell Wall Lipopeptide Signature for subsp. Ancestral Lineage.

ACS infectious diseases
subsp. () causes Johne's disease (JD), a chronic infection responsible for considerable economic losses to dairy industries worldwide. Genetically clonal, has evolved into three distinct genetic lineages designated CII, for bovine strains, and SI ...

Effect of Laminectomy Methods on the Surgical Safety of Automatic Laminectomy Robot.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The efficacy of laminectomy procedures is contingent on the method of resection. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of different methods of resection on the surgical safety of automated laminectomy robots, an area t...

Development of machine learning-based quantitative structure-activity relationship models for predicting plasma half-lives of drugs in six common food animal species.

Toxicological sciences : an official journal of the Society of Toxicology
Plasma half-life is a crucial pharmacokinetic parameter for estimating extralabel withdrawal intervals of drugs to ensure the safety of food products derived from animals. This study focuses on developing a quantitative structure-activity relationshi...
