The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a natural feed additive rich in thyme essential oil on the methane emission by the dairy cows.The methane is a powerful greenhouse gas representing a true energy loss for the ruminants and its reduction is beneficial for the animals and the environment.In order to test the effect of this nat
Autophagy in the eye: from physiology to pathophysiology
Autophagy is a catabolic self-degradative pathway that promotes the degradation and recycling of intracellular material through the lysosomal compartment.Although first believed to function in conditions of nutritional stress, autophagy is emerging as a critical cellular pathway, involved in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological process
Diagnostic and treatment challenges of a case of primary cutaneous signet-ring cell/histiocytoid carcinoma of the eyelid
Abstract Background Primary cutaneous signet-ring cell/histiocytoid carcinoma of the eyelid is an extremely rare but aggressive neoplasm diagnosed primarily in elderly men.Until now there are 32 published cases of signet-ring cell carcinoma or histiocytoid carcinoma of the eyelid.We report the clinical, radiographic and histological features of the
Response to Bollig and Zelco
Abstract In this reply we discuss the comments herbstonne black-eyed susan raised by Bollig and Zelco on our Editorial on Emergency Last Aid (ELA).We focus on that ELA is a clinician-focused educational initiative specifically tailored for those working in high-acuity, high-consequence settings such as pre-hospital, emergency, and critical care env
Simulations reveal challenges to artificial community selection and possible strategies for success.
Multispecies microbial communities often display "community functions" arising from interactions of member species.Interactions are often difficult to decipher, making it challenging to design communities with desired functions.Alternatively, similar to artificial selection for individuals in agriculture and industry, one could repeatedly choose co
