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...

Transformer-Based Wavelet-Scalogram Deep Learning for Improved Seizure Pattern Recognition in Post-Hypoxic-Ischemic Fetal Sheep EEG.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Hypoxic-ischemic (HI) events in newborns can trigger seizures, which are highly associated with later neurodevelopmental impairment. The precise detection of these seizures is a complex task requiring considerable very specialized expertise, undersco...

2D Wavelet-Scalogram Deep-Learning for Seizures Pattern Identification in the Post-Hypoxic-Ischemic EEG of Preterm Fetal Sheep.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Neonatal seizures after an hypoxic-ischemic (HI) event in preterm newborns can contribute to neural injury and cause impaired brain development. Preterm neonatal seizures are often not detected or their occurrence underestimated. Therefore, there is ...

Predictability of carcass traits in live Tan sheep by real-time ultrasound technology with least-squares support vector machines.

Animal science journal = Nihon chikusan Gakkaiho
This study aimed to investigate the performance of least-squares support vector machines to predict carcass characteristics in Tan sheep using noninvasive in vivo measurements. A total of 80 six-month-old Tan sheep (37 rams and 43 ewes) were examined...

Toward cardiac tissue characterization using machine learning and light-scattering spectroscopy.

Journal of biomedical optics
SIGNIFICANCE: The non-destructive characterization of cardiac tissue composition provides essential information for both planning and evaluating the effectiveness of surgical interventions such as ablative procedures. Although several methods of tiss...
