A novel biosensing strategy on the dynamic and on-site detection of Vibrio coralliilyticus eDNA for coral health warnings
Bioelectrochemistry. 2024 Mar 28;158:108697. doi: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2024.108697. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHeat stress and coral diseases are the predominant factors causing the degradation of coral reef ecosystems. Over recent years, Vibrio coralliilyticus was identified as a temperature-dependent pathogen causing tissue lysis in Pocillopora damicornis and one of the primary pathogens causing bleaching and mortality in other corals. Yet current detection techniques for V. coralliilyticus rely primarily on qPCR and ddPCR, which cannot meet the requirements for non-invasive and real-time detection. Herein, we develop...

Determinants of Quit Attempts and Short-Term Abstinence among Smokeless Tobacco Users in India: Global Adult Tobacco Survey, 2016-17
CONCLUSION: Quit advice by healthcare providers is an influential determinant of a quit attempt, and this intervention needs to be scaled up. The media messages and warning labels were effective among those who considered quitting after noticing them. Cessation methods can help prolong the abstinence from smokeless tobacco, but the reach of cessation methods is limited.PMID:38546070 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.3.875 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)

Feasibility of predicting functional decline in the elderly through key posture information during sit-to-stand movement
This study preliminarily demonstrates that eigenvalues can be used to detect STS patterns and compensation strategies adopted by individuals with different capacities. Our machine learning model has excellent predictive accuracy and may be used to develop inexpensive and effective systems to help caregivers to continuously monitor STS patterns and compensation strategies of elderly individuals as warning signs of functional decline.PMID:38547793 | DOI:10.1016/j.humov.2024.103212 (Source: Human Movement Science)

Factors affecting the success of laparoscopic artificial insemination in sheep
Anim Reprod Sci. 2024 Mar 14;264:107453. doi: 10.1016/j.anireprosci.2024.107453. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSuccessful artificial breeding underpins rapid genetic and production gains in animal agriculture. In sheep, artificial insemination with frozen semen is performed via intrauterine laparoscopy as frozen-thawed spermatozoa do not traverse the cervix in sufficient numbers for high fertility and transcervical insemination is anatomically impossible in most ewes. Historically, laparoscopic artificial insemination has always been considered reasonably successful, but recent anecdotal reports of poor fertility place it ...
