Combined First-Trimester PAPP-A and Free β-hCG Levels for the Early Diagnosis of Placenta Accreta Spectrum and Placenta Previa: A Case-Control Study.

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) and placenta previa (PP) are severe obstetric disorders associated with high maternal and perinatal morbidity. Early diagnosis of both conditions remains challenging, particularly in cases with subtle imaging findings. This study was aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of first-trimester maternal serum levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) and free beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) in predicting PAS and PP.

efficacy of macrocyclic lactones on goat farms - pour-on injectable application.

Introduction: Pour-on eprinomectin (EPN) is the only anthelmintic currently available that is approved for use in lactating goats with a zero-day milk withdrawal period. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of the pour-on form of EPN with the efficacy of the injectable version of ivermectin (IVM) on goat farms in Slovakia.

Material And Methods: The study was conducted from September to December 2023 on eight dairy-goat farms.

Morphological and molecular description of Corynosoma paraevae n. sp. (Acanthocephala: Polymorphidae) juveniles from Notothenia coriiceps Richardson (Perciformes: Nototheniidae) in Argentine Islands, West Antarctica.

Adults of Corynosoma evae Zdzitowiecki, 1984 were described from the leopard seal Hydrurga leptonyx (Blainville) in South Shetlands, South Georgia, and Falkland Islands and juveniles from the Antarctic dragonfish Parachaenichthys georgianus (Fischer) were also reported. We describe excysted juveniles of a morphologically indistinguishable cryptic species, Corynosoma paraevae n. sp.

Insights into the role of bioactive plants for lambs infected with parasite.

Bioactive plants provide therapeutic and prophylactic effects to ruminants. We determined the effect of grazing on natural meadow grassland enriched with experimentally sown chicory () on parasitological status, pasture larval infectivity, antioxidant parameters, and the histology of abomasal tissue in lambs experimentally infected with the parasitic gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) We also qualitatively identified the main polyphenols in the meadow grassland and phenolic metabolites in the feces of the lambs. Sixteen lambs were orally infected with approximately 5,000 infective larvae (L3) of .

Description of sp. n. (Monogenea: Capsalidae) from the gills of Antarctic black rockcod, Richardson in coastal waters of West Antarctica.

Morphological and metrical analyses of monogeneans from the gills of Antarctic rockcod revealed the presence of a new species, sp. n. Fresh specimens of monogeneans collected from from the vicinity of Galindez Island, Argentine Islands, West Antarctica were examined morphologically, by molecular analysis and Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA).
