Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate infrared beak trimming versus hot-blade beak trimming on performance, organ and bone development of laying pullets, using 240 birds, at 0-16 weeks of age, from two strains (white layer - Hy-Line W36 and brown layer - Hy-Line Brown). Infrared debeaking was performed on the first day of life in the ...

To describe the care trajectories of adults aged ≥50 years with fragility fractures in France. A postal questionnaire was sent to 15,000 individuals aged ≥50 years extracted from a representative panel of the French population (METASKOPE) in April-May 2018. Respondents experiencing a single fragility fracture in the previous three years constituted...

BackgroundLimited evidence exists regarding the relationship between central-to-peripheral fat ratio measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and subsequent cardiometabolic risk in both pediatric and adult populations.MethodsThe present cohort study investigated the relationship between DXA-measured body fat distribution and cardiometabol...

To measure lens densities with a Pentacam HR device in patients with active uveitis. Measurements were taken at the onset of the attack and after the treatment of inflammation. The study included 51 eyes with different anterior uveitis aetiologies and a control group of 48 eyes of age- and gender-matched healthy subjects. Lens densitometry measurem...

SummaryIn this study, we compared patients using the anticoagulant warfarin for more than a year with a control group with similar characteristics but without using the drug. We demonstrated worse BMD and bone quality by trabecular bone score (TBS) in patients using warfarin for more than 1 year.PurposeEvaluate the bone mineral density (BMD) and th...

SummaryBone health problems may be related to the nutritional deficit in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy. It is common to find asymptomatic vertebral fractures when they have low bone mineral density. Fat mass deficit could be related to a lower bone mineral density and a higher risk of vertebral fractures.ObjectivesTo study the bone health ...
To investigate whether cornea verticillata affects corneal topography, tomography, densitometry, or biomechanics of Fabry patients with ocular manifestations and to compare these results with those obtained from healthy subjects. This prospective, cross-sectional study included 23 Fabry patients (Fabry group) with cornea verticillata and the 37 age...
ABSTRACT Introduction: The osteogenic effects generated by different sports are the subject of a growing number of research projects. Regular physical activity is one of the main recommendations for the stimulation of bone mineral density (BMD). However, evidence has shown that not all physical activities promote similar effects. In this context, t...
Background: Protein microarrays are a versatile and widely used tool for analyzing complex protein mixtures. Membrane arrays utilize antibodies which are captured on a membrane to specifically immobilize several proteins of interest at once. Using detection antibodies, the bound protein-Antibody-complex is converted into visual signals, which can b...
