TL;DR: It is suggested that low levels of Treg cells in mares can contribute to pregnancy loss up to Day 40 after ovulation.
Abstract: Early pregnancy loss is a major reason for low reproductive efficiency in the horse. In humans and mice, low numbers of regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are linked to miscarriage. The percentage of Treg cells in oestrous mares at the start of the breeding season was evaluated in relation to the outcome of subsequent pregnancy. For identification and quantification of Treg cells, a highly sensitive and specific qPCR assay targeting the Treg-specific demethylated region in the equine forkhead box transcription factor (FOXP3) gene was established. In a total of 108 mares, pregnancy was followed until detection of early pregnancy loss (n=17), abortion without identification of an infectious or apparent cause (n=9) or birth of a viable foal (n=82). Measured Treg-cell levels did not significantly differ between mares that conceived (82%; 1.50±0.04%) or did not get pregnant (18%; 1.45±0.10%). The Treg-cell percentage at oestrus before breeding was significantly different (P<0.05) between mares that either underwent early pregnancy loss up to Day 40 of pregnancy (1.29±0.07%) and mares that aborted (1.61±0.15%) or gave birth to a live foal (1.52±0.05%). These results suggest that low levels of Treg cells in mares can contribute to pregnancy loss up to Day 40 after ovulation.

TL;DR: It appears that the bacterial NRs reduce the nitrate ions present in liquid manures within a few days, and thus shorten the survival time of certain bacteria.

TL;DR: A complete notion of proof for weighted formulas of the implication-free fragment of Godel logic with involution is described, and the usefulness of this logical framework for the formalization of ordinal preference modelling is shown.

TL;DR: Stability of ionized calcium (Ca2+) concentrations and pH values in equine venous samples and in serum samples stored up to 240 hours at 4 C are studied to determine whether Ca2+ concentration in blood, plasma, and serum samples stores is of diagnostic use.
Abstract: Stability of ionized calcium (Ca2+) concentrations and pH values in equine venous samples (n = 12 in each group) stored at 4 C for 3, 9, 24, and 48 hours (blood, plasma, and serum) or for 240 hours (plasma and serum), and at -20 C for 240 hours (plasma and serum), was studied. Storage of equine blood, plasma, and serum samples at 4 C for up to 48 hours and of serum samples at 4 C for up to 240 hours, despite appreciable pH changes, was associated with < 1.5% change in blood, plasma, and serum Ca2+ concentrations. Therefore, Ca2+ concentration in equine blood, plasma, and serum samples stored up to 48 hours and in serum samples stored up to 240 hours at 4 C is of diagnostic use.

TL;DR: This study detected Mycoplasma gallisepticum, M. synoviae, and IBV in several poultry farms in Myanmar and found that the observed MG and MS isolates were not identical to vaccine strains.
Abstract: In Southeast Asian countries, including Myanmar, poultry farming is a major industry. In order to manage and maintain stable productivity, it is important to establish policies for biosecurity. Infectious respiratory diseases are a major threat to poultry farming. Avian influenza and Newcastle disease have been reported in Myanmar, but no scientific information is available for other respiratory pathogens, such as mycoplasmas and infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Identifying the genotypes and serotypes of IBVs is especially important to inform vaccination programs. In this study, we detected Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG), M. synoviae (MS), and IBV in several poultry farms in Myanmar. Samples were collected from 20 farms in three major poultry farming areas in Myanmar, and MG, MS, and IBV were detected on two, four, and eight farms, respectively, by polymerase chain reaction. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the observed MG and MS isolates were not identical to vaccine strains. Three different genotypes of IBV were detected, but none was an unknown variant. Mycoplasmas and IBV were detected on poultry farms in Myanmar. Periodic surveillance is required to establish the distribution of each pathogen, and to institute better vaccine protocols.
