ABSTRACT An accurate diagnostic test for Helicobacter spp. infection in dogs is necessary but no gold standard diagnostic method has yet been established. The purpose of this study was to assess the sensitivity of conven...

Typology is one of the fundamental archaeological methods that helps to organise large amounts of data and facilitates their handling. It is also used in castellology, where it categorises castles into various types, for...

Abstract Background Many cardiovascular (CV) medicines are required for long term. However, with their limited resources, low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) may have challenges with access to cardiovascular medici...

Abstract Background Serum folate is considered a biomarker of chronic enteropathy (CE) in dogs, but few studies have examined associations with markers of CE. Hypothesis/Objectives To evaluate serum folate concentrations...

Cyber-attacks have increased in number and severity, which has negatively affected businesses and their services. As such, cyber security is no longer considered merely a technological problem, but must also be considere...

Abstract Background Proton pump inhibitors can cause diarrhea and a transient increase in fecal dysbiosis index in dogs. It is unknown if concurrent probiotic administration mitigates these effects. Objective/Hypothesis ...

The automotive market is constantly developing and employing innovative technologies. The new trend of electromobility affects the whole world and is part of the transformation of the economy. Also, the European Union ta...

Through the provision of education and training, the Caregiver Training Workshop (CTW) pilot study aimed to advance knowledge about in-person educational interventions for primary family caregivers aiding ill adults (18 ...

Abstract Fast and accurate measurement of the volume of earthmoving materials is of great significance for the real-time evaluation of loader operation efficiency and the realization of autonomous operation. Existing met...

This work synthesized a thermoplastic polymer with varying densities along one direction using additive manufacturing technology to study the dynamic and static characteristics of functionally graded viscoelastic materia...

Abstract Background Sudden acquired retinal degeneration syndrome (SARDS) is a common cause of irreversible blindness in dogs. It bears clinical resemblance to hypercortisolism, which can be associated with hypercoagulab...

Background One potential modifiable factor to improve the mental health of healthcare professionals (HCPs) during the pandemic is lifestyle.Aims This study aimed to assess whether an improved lifestyle during the pandemi...
