Article Synopsis
- Transport stress can harm aquatic animals, especially during transportation of Chinese soft-shelled turtles, leading to damage in their intestines.
- In a study, turtles transported at lower temperatures (20 °C) showed less intestinal damage compared to those transported at normal temperatures (30 °C), meaning low temperatures help reduce stress.
- Although low temperatures helped during transport, the protective effect didn't last long after the turtles returned to normal temperatures, indicating more research is needed on turtle care during transport.
Passive antibody transfer from pregnant women to their fetus are maximized after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination irrespective of prior infection.

Background: Pregnancy is associated with a higher risk of adverse symptoms and outcomes for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection for both mother and neonate. Antibodies can provide protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection and are induced in pregnant women after vaccination or infection. Passive transfer of these antibodies from mother to fetus may provide protection to the neonate against infection.

Respiratory viral infections can be transmitted from pregnant women to their offspring, but frequency, mechanisms, and postnatal outcomes remain unclear. The aims of this prospective cohort study were to compare the frequencies of transplacental transmission of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), analyze the concentrations of inflammatory mediators in maternal and fetal blood, and assess clinical consequences. We recruited pregnant women who developed upper respiratory infections or tested positive for SARS-CoV-2.

We aimed to investigate the association between ocular biometrical parameters and DR in Chinese people with diabetes mellitus (DM) without any ocular intervention.
Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited type 2 DM patients with no history of ocular treatment in Guangzhou, China.
