TL;DR: The results indicate that LFI and LFI-related parameters could be used to identify cows at risk in the transition period toward an improved farm management and indicates that disease cases in periparturient, high-yielding dairy cows are correlated with signs of accentuated IL-6 response and other markers of inflammatory phenomena.

TL;DR: This monograph describes up-to-date cancer incidence and survival in Italian paediatric and adolescent patients, based on data collected by the network of Italian cancer registries (AIRTUM), and updates the monograph published on the same topic in 2008.

TL;DR: A substantial reduction of antibiotic usage in dairy farms can be achieved through the proper use of immunomodulators, aimed at increasing immunocompetence and disease resistance of cows.

TL;DR: Alternative pathways of complement activation and lysozyme activity were both significantly enhanced in fish fed on glucans and elevated doses of vitamins, and complement-mediated haemolytic activity has been shown to be a more reliable indicator of sea bass immunocompetence.

TL;DR: Only one swine group (the CS group) showed a significant, positive correlation between ROM and OXY values, which imply satisfactory environmental coping occurred only within the CS group, and is discussed in the light of animal welfare legislation, food safety and consumers' protection.
