Summary: The hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST) is a method used to assess semen quality. This study aimed to evaluate a simplified HOST procedure for feline semen and determine if sperm abnormalities could affect the test results. The results showed that the simplified HOST gave the same results as the standard one and that abnormal spermatozoa did not interfere with the test results.

Summary: The study compared the quality differences between different HOST classes, identifying HOST classes B and B+ as having the highest quality based on various metrics. This opens up possibilities for sperm selection before ICSI, potentially optimizing reproductive outcomes in unstudied patient populations.

Summary: This study investigates the static and dynamic response of polyacrylamide (PAAm) particles under direct contact forces and osmotic forces. It is found that the particles exhibit higher static compressive and shear elastic moduli in dextran solutions compared to water, and they deform at a slower rate under applied external forces in dextran solutions, which can be explained by the diffusion of dextran molecules in the surrounding solution.

Summary: In this study, novel mutations in the CCDC40 gene were identified in a Chinese family with PCD, leading to immobility of sperm and infertility. The safety and effectiveness of ICSI for infertility caused by PCD were confirmed. The combination of targeted next generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing proved to be useful for diagnosing PCD, indicating potential for genetic diagnosis in PCD patients.

Summary: This study compared the pregnancy outcomes of couples who underwent HOST as a sperm selection method in ICSI-Frozen ET cycles and those who did not. The results showed that in the 36-40 years group, cycles employing HOST had significantly higher pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and live birth rate compared to cycles not using HOST.

Summary: This study used wearable laser Doppler flowmetry sensors to measure skin blood perfusion and flow oscillations during postural changes. The results showed significant alterations in microcirculation parameters, especially in skin blood perfusion and amplitudes of neurogenic, myogenic, and cardiac sensors, caused by the changes in body positions.

Summary: The study aimed to compare two diets, Control (CTR) and Experimental (EX), which were administered to medium and large-sized bitches from two months before the expected proestrus until 30 days after delivery. Results showed that both diets were effective for the bitches and puppies, with all tested bitches showing healthy status after 30 days of lactation and puppies' growth falling within the normal physiological range.

Summary: Reproductive efficiency is vital for breeding species, and factors such as nutrition can affect female fertility. A study compared the effects of two diets on follicular period and gestation in bitches, finding that a diet rich in protein, fat, and essential fatty acids improved reproductive performance in dogs.

Summary: This study investigated the use of ultrasonography techniques to detect and differentiate testicular tumor lesions in dogs. The results showed that different testicular tumor types in dogs have subtly different vascular patterns, which can help in identifying the specific tumor type.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of Goji berry dietary supplementation on insulin sensitivity in rabbit does during pregnancy and found that a higher dose of Goji berry supplementation can improve insulin response. However, the study did not demonstrate the effect of maternal diet on adult offspring's insulin sensitivity.

Summary: The investigation of acute phase proteins in veterinary medicine has provided new markers for assessing animal health. This review examines the use of serum amyloid A (SAA) as a marker for diagnosing and monitoring reproductive disorders in animals, and evaluates its usefulness in clinical practice.

Summary: This study evaluated the analgesic efficacy of transdermal buprenorphine compared to intravenous buprenorphine in dogs undergoing mastectomy. The results showed that transdermal administration provided comparable analgesic quality to the injectable route, while avoiding repeated injections.

Summary: This study performed a systematic review of the differential expression of sperm microRNAs in bulls related to fertility. A total of 182 unique differentially expressed miRNAs were identified, among which 49 miRNAs were found in common between at least two studies. The results suggest that miRNAs such as miR-10a, -10b, -103, -15b, -122, -125b, -126-5p, -151-5p, -193a-5p, -196a, -27a-5p, and -99b may serve as potential universal biomarkers for assessing the reproductive potential of males.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence and development of hair loss in outdoor cattle in Sweden. It found a relatively high hair loss rate, with the occurrence of hair loss increasing over time during winters, suggesting a contagious etiology. The study also identified preventative delousing before November, keeping animals clean, and maintaining small group sizes as effective measures to reduce the risk of hair loss, while older age and access to bedding materials increased the risk.

Summary: This study found that Feline odontoclastic resorptive lesion (FORL) can be divided into two subgroups, with FORL-1 subgroup having a less diverse oral microbiome and higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which may be associated with the severity and activity of the disease.

Summary: This study used infrared thermography (IRT) to identify mastitis in Sahiwal cows. The results showed significant differences in the mean values of udder and teat surface temperature between healthy, subclinical mastitis (SCM), and clinical mastitis (CM) cases during different seasons. IRT is an efficient tool for the early identification of subclinical mastitis.

Summary: In this study, the pharmacokinetic behavior of Eprinomectin was studied in two different goat breeds. The results showed no significant differences in plasma concentration between the breeds, but the clearance from the body may vary. High concentration of Eprinomectin in feces is beneficial against gastrointestinal parasites but poses an ecotoxicological risk to the environment.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of fenbendazole and ivermectin on strongyles and Parascaris sp. infecting adult riding horses in different regions of Iran. The results demonstrated varying degrees of resistance of these parasites to both anthelminthics. It emphasizes the urgency of educating horse owners about the importance of a test-and-treatment strategy and suggests evaluating the efficacy of different anthelminthics to choose the most effective treatment in each region.
