Article Abstract
The aim of the worksite study is to elucidate the strain reducing impact of different forms of spending lunch breaks. With the help of the so-called silent room cabin concept, it was possible to induce a lunch-break relaxation opportunity that provided visual and territorial privacy. To evaluate the proposed effects, 14 call center agents were assigned to either 20 min progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) or small-talk (ST) break groups. We analyzed the data in a controlled trial for a period of 6 months (every 2 months four measurements a day at 12:00, 13:00, 16:00, 20:00) using independent observer and self-report ratings of emotional, mental, motivational, and physical strain. Results indicated that only the PMR break reduced postlunchtime and afternoon strain. Although further intervention research is required, our results suggest that PMR lunch break may sustainable reduce strain states in real worksite settings.

Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) causes severe disease in ruminants. We assessed the pathogenicity of the Chinese EHDV-7 isolate YN09 in mice lacking the type I interferon receptor and in sheep. In mice, YN09 infection resulted in 100% mortality, with histopathological lesions, viral replication, and immunoreactivity in multiple organs.

West Nile fever is a zoonotic arboviral disease caused by the West Nile Virus (WNV), responsible for deaths in humans, mammals, and birds with associated neurological manifestations. All previous investigations of WNV Brazil were based primarily on serological and molecular analyses and in humans, equids, and birds in the northern and southeastern regions of the country. This study describes the pathological and molecular findings observed in a mule, from the state of Paraná, southern Brazil, that died during an outbreak involving equids with clinical manifestations of a neurological disease.

Clostridium thermocellum is an increasingly well-studied organism with considerable advantages for consolidated bioprocessing towards ethanol production. Here, a genome-scale resource balance analysis (RBA) model of C. thermocellum, ctRBA, is reconstructed based on a recently published stoichiometric model (iCTH669), global proteomics, and C MFA datasets to analyze proteome allocation and the burden imposed on metabolism with regard to ethanol yield and titer.

Objective: Exertional heat illness (EHI) remains a challenge for those that exercise in hot and humid environments. Physiological status monitoring is an attractive method for assessing EHI risk and a critical component of recommended layered risk management approaches. While there is consensus that some combination of core body temperature, mean skin temperature, heart rate (HR), and hydration provide an indication of heat strain, a field-feasible metric that correlates to EHI incidence has not been identified.

Infectious bursal disease (IBD), caused by the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), significantly threatens global poultry health by inducing immunosuppression and causing economic losses. To enhance vaccination efficacy, we engineered a transgenic strain of Eimeria acervulina (Ea-2C3d) expressing a fusion protein composed of IBDV VP2 and three tandem C3d segments (3C3d), utilizing C3d's adjuvant properties to boost immune responses. The transgene was generated by integrating codon-optimized VP2 and 3C3d sequences into the E.
