Inhibin (INH) plays a key role in the regulation of the reproductive performance of geese. It inhibits follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion from the anterior pituitary gland to regulate spermatogenesis. Immunization against INH in male geese...
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of varying combinations of dietary selenium (Se), vitamin E (Vit E), and zinc (Zn) supplements on antioxidant enzyme activity, and developmental and histological traits in testicular tissues of 1-yea...
Low or insufficient testosterone levels caused by caponization promote fat deposition in animals. However, the molecular mechanism of fat deposition in caponized animals remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the metabolomics and transcript...
This paper examines the dynamics of circulating hormone changes connected with reproduction in geese during the annual period related to gonad morphometry. One hundred geese were examined. The levels of prolactin (PRL), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxi...
Post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) fatigue is typically most severe <6 months post-infection. Combining magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with the glucose analog [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) provides a com...
This interdisciplinary review focuses on how flexible three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology can aid patients with neurological diseases. It covers a wide variety of current and possible applications ranging from neurosurgery to customizable pol...
Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol is the main psychoactive component of cannabis and cannabidiol is purportedly responsible for many of the medicinal benefits. The effects of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol in younger populations have been...
One means of reducing violence against people experiencing domestic abuse is to improve the pathway which they use to access help from the police and other services. In this paper we report and reflect on a project which contributes to violence reduc...
Injury to the peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve, particularly the lingual nerve (LN) and the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN), is a rare but serious complication that can occur during oral and maxillofacial surgery. Mandibular third molar surg...
Pre-catalyst engine emissions and detrimental injector deposits have been widely associated with the near-nozzle fluid dynamics during and after the injection events. Although the heating and evaporation of fuel films on the nozzle surface directly a...
It has long been known that one of the most effective study techniques is to be tested on the to-be-remembered material, a phenomenon known as the testing effect. Recent research has also shown that testing of previous materials promotes the learning...
Background/Objectives: Early attachment experiences and psychopathology both shape individuals’ emotion processing. However, the specific influence of adult attachment representations on self- (intrapersonal) and other-focused (interpersonal) e...
Mind-Body practices have become increasingly popular as components of psychotherapeutic and behavior medicine interventions. They comprise an array of different methods and techniques that use some sort of mental-behavioral training and involve the m...
Autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) from an adrenal adenoma can increase the risk for comorbidities and mortality. The dexamethasone suppression test (DST) is the standard method to diagnose ACS. A multi-site, retrospective cohort of adults with diag...
Background: Machine perfusion (MP) is increasingly used for human transplant organ preservation. The use of MP for research purposes is another opportunity for this technology. The porcine pancreas and liver are similar in anatomical size and functio...
In the present study, we explore the role of attachment for microstructural white matter (WM) changes in adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN) before and after exposure to short-term and nutritional treatment. The case sample consisted of 22 female...
Background/Objectives: Lymph node metastases represent the most important prognostic factor for survival in patients with localized squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity. In patients with carcinoma of the tongue or floor of the mouth, elec...

Personal identification (ID) is a prerequisite to many financial and social services; however, many vulnerable residents do not have ID and lack the resources to acquire it. To assess the impact of ID inaccessibility in a local context, a study was c...
Background: Comorbid personality disorders (PDs) in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) are associated with increased psychopathology, higher suicide risk, and poorer treatment response and outcomes. This study aimed to examine associations between g...
Background/Objectives: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) with bone infiltration is categorized as a T4 tumor regardless of its size. T4 tumors are an indication for postoperative radiotherapy, which could be overtreatment for small oral squamous ce...
Although the relationship between attachment and mental health has been widely studied, no systematic review has focused specifically on refugee populations. Objectives: This systematic review examines associations between attachment patterns and psy...
While Abū Nuwās is most often celebrated for his irreverent exaltation of wine and homoerotic desire, his hunting poems (tardiyyāt) reveal a lyrical mode of interspecies perception and affective entanglement. Drawing on thinkers such a...
