Changes in carcase composition, gastrointestinal morphometry and leg bone dimensions in different goose genotypes after a four-year reproductive period.

1. The aim of this study was a comparative analysis of three goose genotypes (Rypińska, Suwalska, Kartuska) after a four-year laying period at the National Research Institute of Animal Production, Waterfowl Genetic Resources Station in Dworzyska. It examined carcase composition as well as morphometric parameters of their digestive system and leg bones.

Aerobic Versus Resistance Exercise for Overweight: Is there a Difference in Reporting Quality?

In the management of overweight, the implementation of exercise helps to create a caloric deficit and to lose weight. Several studies have shown poor reporting quality of exercise interventions for other diseases. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the completeness of exercise intervention reporting in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for the treatment of overweight and to evaluate potential differences between exercise modalities.

Proximate Composition, Physicochemical Properties and Concentration of Selected Minerals in Edible Giblets of Geese.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of breed and sex (3 × 2) on the basic chemical composition, concentration of some minerals, and physicochemical properties of edible giblets of farm geese. The study material consisted of edible giblets (livers, gizzards, hearts) obtained from 42 geese from three Polish native breeds (Rypin, Suwałki, Kartuzy) at 220 weeks of age. Edible giblets were obtained during goose evisceration from seven males and seven females of each breed.

Fast and Fractionated: Correlation of Dose Attenuation and the Response of Human Cancer Cells in a New Anthropomorphic Brain Phantom.

The results of radiotherapy in patients with primary malignant brain tumors are extremely dissatisfactory: the overall survival after a diagnosis of glioblastoma is typically less than three years. The development of spatially fractionated radiotherapy techniques could help to improve this bleak prognosis. In order to develop technical equipment and organ-specific therapy plans, dosimetry studies as well as radiobiology studies are conducted.

Hypoxia impedes differentiation of cranial neural crest cells into derivatives relevant for craniofacial development.

Orofacial clefts are the second-most prevalent congenital malformation. Risk factors are multifactorial and include genetic components, but also environmental factors. One environmental factor is hypoxia during pregnancy, caused for instance by tobacco smoking, medication or living at high altitudes.
