Silk products' clinical value, as demonstrated by this systematic review, arises from their ability to modulate structural integrity, immune responses, and wound healing. Rigorous follow-up studies are critical to verify and establish the efficacy of these products.Silk products' beneficial structural,...
The reduction of antibiotic usage through high biosecurity standards will also prevent maintain the effectiveness of conventional antimicrobials designed to treat acute or chronic infections [2]. Likewise, the misuse of biocidal substances in animal production contributes to increasing antimicrobial resistance...
Extreme care in the manufacturing process seeks to maintain sterility of an implantable device, but a device that becomes contaminated during and after implantation that can cause serious device-associated infections that require removal and can result in death. 3.

At mid-lactation, ‘substantial’ to ‘almost perfect’ overall agreement was found for fleece cleanliness, fleece condition, BCS and skin lesions. ‘Moderate’ overall agreement was found for dag score, foot-wall integrity and hoof overgrowth, while tail length showed the lowest agreement (Table ...
(type II or IIR): external, which is filtering; central, which is impermeable to liquids but air permeable; the internal layer, which is in contact with the hypoallergenic skin, with upper deformable nose bar to conform perfectly the face mask and with fastening system formed of ties or ...
Heat stress (HS) due to high temperatures has adverse effects on poultry, including decreased feed intake, lower feed efficiency, decreased body weight, and higher mortality. There are complex mechanisms behind heat stress in poultry involving the neuroe
In the decision-making process of prosthetic and robotic hands, EMG signals are used to sense the user’s intent to move their hand and to direct the movements of the prosthetic or robotic hand [4]. Surface EMG electrodes are placed on the skin over the muscles that coordinate the hand [...
