The objective of this study was to compare the performances of two different turkey varieties (CARI Virat and Bronze turkey) under heat stress using some molecular and biochemical parameters. The birds were reared during summer (increased THI; heat stress group) and winter seasons (optimum THI; control), blood samples were collected at their marketable age (18 weeks). Real-time PCR analysis showed that HSPB1 and NOX4 mRNA expression levels were significantly upregulated in heat-stressed birds across both varieties and genders.

However, they also generate large volumes of byproducts and organic waste annually, posing major challenges in terms of sustainable disposal. These byproducts have the potential to be repurposed into high-value, low-volume products, such as bioactive peptides or hydrolysates.

Rabbit meat consumption is popular in certain regions of the world. The multidimensional role of rabbits as pet, pest, and laboratory animals, lack of proper knowledge among consumers towards the nutritive value of rabbit meat, animal welfare, and ethical issues, sustainable potential, undeveloped marketing, and processing chain, and price parity with available cheap meat and non-meat alternatives, are some constraints in the rabbit meat production.

Both native and modified starches were characterized on the basis of physicochemical, functional, and morphological attributes. Compared to native potato starch, modified starches exhibited improved water absorption capacity and water solubility index.

The recovery of bioactive compounds is a big challenge and its use in food industry to develop functional foods is a promising area of research. Various techniques are available for the extraction of these bioactives but due to their thermolabile nature, there is demand for nonthermal or green technologies which can lower the cost of operation and decrease operational time and energy consumption as compared to conventional methods.

This study analyses effectiveness of revision Bankart repair with remplissage for failed Bankart repair in non-contact athletes, focusing on time and level of RTS.
Materials And Methods: Fifty-five consecutive non-contact athletes with evidence of instability after primary arthroscopic Bankart repair having glenoid loss < 25% and off-track Hill-Sachs lesion were included in the study according to algorithm mentioned.

A neglected shoulder dislocation is a rarer entity and only few cases are reported in the literature. An anterior dislocation of the shoulder is rarely missed as patients present with limb in abduction and external rotation, an attitude very familiar to orthopaedic surgeon. Occasionally such cases are missed when they present with fracture of proximal humerus or when they receive treatment from unqualified practitioners who commonly practise in rural areas.
