Researchers in Brazil have investigated the effectiveness of administering chorionic gonadotropin (eCG and hCG) during lactation to delay post-weaning estrus expression in sows. The study, led by Monike Willemin Quirino, involved 62 sows that were divided into three treatment groups: a control group receiving saline administration, a 500 IU group

According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, equitable access to nutrition care can significantly improve nutrition and health outcomes for older adults in long-term care and community settings. The consensus statement, reached after a thorough review of the literature and expert input, highlights the importance of addressing malnutrition in
Robotics
Researchers at Hangzhou Dianzi University have developed an adaptive event-triggered anti-windup trajectory tracking control method for a robotic manipulator system subject to uncertainties, external disturbances, component faults, and input saturation. This novel control method ensures the stability of the closed-loop system and has several advantages, including simplified design of the

Researchers have published a new report comparing the effectiveness of various virtual reality (VR) technologies for improving cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A systematic review and network meta-analysis of 12 randomized controlled trials involving 529 participants found that semi-immersive VR was the most effective in
Clinical trials
Researchers from L.V. Prasad Eye Institute have conducted a large, double-blind randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of mitomycin C (MMC) application in non-endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (NEED) for adults with primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO). The study, which included 442 patients, found no statistically significant difference in
Chronic diseases
A new study published in the Annals of Epidemiology has shed light on the rising trend of hypertension-related cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths among young adults in the United States. According to the research, which analyzed national mortality data from 2000 to 2023, the age-standardized CVD and heart disease death rates
Biological markers
Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in the diagnosis and treatment of major psychiatric disorders (MPDs) by identifying biologically annotated neuroimaging markers that can guide mechanism-targeted, stratified therapies. A study conducted by Fudan University in Shanghai, China, aimed to integrate brain connectome and DNA methylation profiles in MPDs patients to
