Decline in urban atmospheric CO2 advancement throughout Seoul, Mexico, due to interpersonal distancing procedures throughout the COVID-19 crisis.
Chronic nonspecific low back pain (chronic nsLBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders leading to disabilities and physical inactivity. Laser therapy was used in chronic nsLBP treatment; however, no previous studies have assessed the impacts of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) versus low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on chronic nsLBP. This study compared the effects of HILT versus LLLT on individuals suffering from chronic nsLBP.
The study was a randomized control trial. Sixty individuals with chronic nsLBP were enrolled in this study between May and November 2019. All participants were clinically diagnosed with chronic nsLBP. They were assigned randomly into three groups, 20 in each group. The first group received a program of LLLT, the second group received a program of HILT, and the third did not receive laser therapy (control group). Pain severity, disability, lumbar mobility, and quality of life were assessed before and after 12-week intervention.
Both LLLT and HILT groups showed a significant improvement of the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), visual analogue scale (VAS), lumbar range of motion (ROM), and European Quality of Life (EuroQol) scores (
> 0.05), while the control group did not show significant changes (
> 0.05). Comparison among the three study groups postintervention showed significant differences in the outcome measures (
> 0.05), while comparison between the LLLT and HILT groups showed nonsignificant differences (
> 0.05).
There are no different influences of LLLT versus HILT on chronic nsLBP patients. Both LLLT and HILT reduce pain and disability and improve lumbar mobility and quality of life in chronic nsLBP patients.

However, the formal ethnobotanical survey that documented such knowledge is lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to document the traditional knowledge on the use of medicinal plants to manage human and livestock ailments in the district. The study was conducted from January to July 2017 in five purposefully selected kebeles of the district. Ethnobotanical data were collected mainly using semistructured interviews conducted with 150 informants. In the five kebeles, 30 informants (15 males and 15 females) were selected using the stratified random sampling method from a list of traditional practitioners and knowledgeable individuals. Data were analyzed by employing descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The study documented a total of 91 medicinal plant species (distributed in 51 families) used in managing 38 human and 12 livestockssociated knowledge. Thus, concerted efforts have to be made to conserve this important heritage using every possible means.
Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) such as air gun pellet is a rare finding in wild animals like Rhesus macaque (
). The purpose of the present scientific report is to describe the surgical retrieval of IOFB secondary to ballistic wound in a wild Rhesus macaque.
A juvenile female wild Rhesus macaque was brought with the history of swollen and inflamed right eye for the past several days.
Clinical examination revealed presence of partially healed wound over the dorsal eyelid. Radiographic examination revealed the presence of a metallic foreign body inside the right orbit. Inflamed and persistently closed eyelid prevented the further localization of the metallic foreign body. Lateral canthotomy was performed under general anesthesia. Following the failure to recover the metallic foreign body from the ocular adnexa, right eye vitrectomy was performed to retrieve the IOFB. The metallic foreign body was recovered from the posterior chamber of the right eye. Due to the poor prognosis of the already damaged eye, enucleation of the eye was performed which was followed by tarsorrhaphy. N-Phthalyl-L-tryptophan Further examination of the foreign body identified it as a 4.5 mm (.177 Calibre) air gun pellet. Post-operatively animal was treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. The animal recovered uneventfully.
Intraocular foreign bodies secondary to gunshot wound should always be considered as a surgical emergency. Enucleation should be performed in cases having poor prognosis to avoid further complications especially in wild animals like Rhesus macaque.

Avian infectious bronchitis (IB) is an infectious viral disease of chickens. The effective protection of chickens against many different infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) variants is not achieved unless the circulating genotypes in the region are identified and the cross-protection of the potential of vaccines in use is assessed.
In a monitoring program of IBVs, a new genotype was identified in the north of Iran, 2019. link2 This work was conducted to isolate and characterize this new IBV genotype.
Tracheal tissues were collected from chickens showing signs of respiratory involvement. Specimens were homogenized and inoculated to the allantoic fluid of embryonated specific pathogen-free (SPF) eggs. Infectious bronchitis virus was detected using real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The hypervariable region of the IBV
gene was amplified for sequencing.
Positive samples were phylogenetically analyzed, and both positive isolates were clustered with Q1 IBV strains.
This is the first report of the Q1 outbreak in Iran. More investigations are needed to find the role of Q1 IBV in the respiratory disease complex of chickens.

Acute-phase proteins (APPs) may be increased due to different stresses during estrus phase in farm animals.
Determining changes of APPs at different phases of non-synchronized estrous cycle group (NSEG), and Ovsynch-synchronized estrous cycle group (SEG) in Holstein cows.
Twelve non-pregnant clinically and paraclinicaly healthy Holstein cows with a body condition score (BCS) of 2.75 and 70 days in milk were chosen. Two groups including NSEG and SEG were performed. Blood sampling was carried out from NSEG at the time of diestrus, proestrus, and estrus. In SEG, blood sampling was performed on day 7 (at the time of prostaglandin injection, equivalent diestrus), day 9 (at the time of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) injection, equivalent proestrus), and day 10 (at the time of insemination, equivalent estrus) of synchronization protocol. Concentrations of haptoglobin (Hp), serum amyloid A (SAA), ceruloplasmin (Cp), and fibrinogen (Fib) were measured.
Concentration of Hp at estrus phase was significantly higher compared with diestrus (P=0.001) and proestrus (P=0.019) in NSEG. Moreover, Hp level in the NSEG was significantly higher than SEG at estrus phase (P=0.002). Concentrations of SAA, Cp, and Fib had no significant differences during various phases of estrous cycle in each group or between equivalent phases of both groups.
It seems that unlike SAA, Fib, and Cp, concentrations of Hp may be affected by different phases of estrous cycle. Although APPs are not specific indicators, their changes besides other clinical and paraclinical indices may be helpful for more accurate heat detection in dairy cows.

, a bacterial genus of more than 2500 serotypes is considered as the most significant foodborne pathogen causing infections in humans and animals. Increased antimicrobial resistance and persistence of antimicrobial residues in food matrices warrants the need for alternative infection management strategies.
The present study aimed to isolate and evaluate the lytic activity of bacteriophage against
.
Twenty-eight
isolates obtained from the poultry sources were screened for antibiotic sensitivity. Poultry slaughterhouse wastewater was used for the isolation of phage. Host range and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) are vital tools used for differentiating the phage.
The isolates showed a high degree of resistance to nalidixic acid (71%), tetracycline (71%), nitrofurantoin (50%), and ampicillin (43%). Five lytic phages are specific for
spp. were isolated and characterized by RAPD. In the colony forming unit (CFU) reduction assay, the highest activity of phage was observed at 0.01 multiplicity of infection (MOI) within 2 h after the addition of phage. link3 PSE5 at 0.01 MOI was administered to
Enteritidis seeded on the surface of the chicken egg by immersion method. The results indicated that administration of phage reduced recoverable
by 2 × 10
CFU/ml relative to the phage-excluded control.
The results presented here suggested the application of the bacteriophage treatment has the potential to be used as an alternative strategy to prevent
infection in poultry farms to prevent vertical transmission of the pathogen.

Mastitis in sheep caused by
spp. is a serious concern for dairy farming.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the intramammary infection (IMI) caused by
spp. on the lon g-chain fatty acid profile and composition of ewe's milk.
The experiment was conducted in a herd of Zoslachtena Valaska sheep. Half-udder milk samples were collected from 20 weight-matched sheep at the peak of their first or second lactation. The basic physicochemical composition of milk, somatic cell count (SCC),
spp. infection, and total bacterial contamination (TBC) were determined. The fatty acid profile of the milk fat was determined using gas chromatography.
The SCC in milk infected with
spp. was 3.25 times higher (P<0.01) than that in the uninfected milk samples. The content of lauric acid (С120) was higher (P<0.05) in the milk fat of infected ewes. A significant increase (P<0.05) in the share of linoleic acid (C182n6t), arachidonic acid (C204n6), and a decrease (P<0.01) in the vaccenic acid (C181n7t) were observed in the milk collected from ewes infected with
spp..
spp. infection increased the ratio of n-6 to n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Changes in the fatty acid profile of milk caused by
spp. infection decrease the value of ewes' milk as a health-promoting product.
