The Portuguese mertolenga cattle breed: a review
AbstractThis review summarizes the state of the art regarding the phylogenetic origins, recent history and present-day main traits and uses of theMertolenga cattle breed from Southern Portugal, particularly those related to production performances and product quality. Named after the historical city of M értola, in southern Portugal, theMertolenga is one of the fifteen autochthonous bovine breeds of Portugal. It is a cattle breed thoroughly adapted to the poor Mediterranean pastures of the southern regions of the Iberian Peninsula. It is used predominantly in an extensive to semi-intensive sylvopastoral production system ...

Terminologica Anatomica2: are we working toward achieving a unified consensus based anatomical terminology?
AbstractThis paper focuses on the authors perspectives of the terminology developed by the Gross and Clinical Anatomy Working Group for Terminologica Anatomica2. Terminologica Anatomica2 represents a great deal of work by the Gross and Clinical Anatomy Working Group of the Federative International Program for Anatomical Terminology. Listing of synonyms and eponyms can be of great utility in terms of historical translation. However, the initial goal of achieving an international standard for anatomical terminology derived through a scholarly, consensus based process has been lost in Terminologica Anatomica2 as it provide...

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 498: Exploring the Relationship of Leisure Travel with Loneliness, Depression, and Cognitive Function in Older Adults
This study examines the association between leisure travel participation and these health outcomes in older adults, aiming to provide further evidence of the benefits of leisure travel. Using nationally representative historical data from the 2006 household survey of the Health and Retirement Study, this study conducted a series of regression analyses to investigate the relationship between traveling and the three health outcomes, adjusting for age, sex, race, marital status, education, total wealth, annual income, and difficulty with daily activities. The results reveal that travel patterns in terms of distance are signif...

Defining surgical success
Although Benjamin Franklin opined that death and taxation are the only certainties in this life, for most of us, the need to undergo a surgical procedure at some point is also inevitable. Society consequently has a vested interest in the outcomes of surgery being successful. Through recorded history, just surviving an operative intervention was regarded as near miraculous. Aseptic technique, anaesthesia and understanding of resuscitation made surgery safe, at least for first world populations, but the objective analysis of what surgeons do and the outcome of their activity is a relative novelty in historical terms. While t...

Tumor growth and overall survival modeling to support decision making in phase Ib/II trials: A comparison of the joint and two ‐stage approaches
AbstractModel-based tumor growth inhibition (TGI) metrics are increasingly used to predict overall survival (OS) data in Phase III immunotherapy clinical trials. However, there is still a lack of understanding regarding the differences between two-stage or joint modeling methods to leverage Phase I/II trial data and help early decision-making. A recent study showed that TGI metrics such as the tumor growth rate constantKG may have good operating characteristics as early endpoints. This previous study used a two-stage approach that is easy to implement and intuitive but prone to bias as it does not account for the relations...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis paper analyzes the technology-related outputs from The National Institute of Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). We seek to answer the questions: What are the types and frequency of assistive technology (AT) technology transfer (ATTT) outputs from NIDILRR grants? How does NIDILRR's ATTT generation compare to other granting organizations? What types of ATTT outputs occur, how, and what is the relative productivity of the most frequently funded universities and small businesses performin...
