Several mycoviruses have potential to induce hypovirulence on their fungal pathogens and therefore the interest in mycoviruses has increased in recent years. In the current study, a single double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecule of 2531 nts was detected, sequenced and characterized from an Egyptian isolate (D7) of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum fungus. The dsRNA has one open reading frame (ORF), in its positive strand, encoding a protein with conserved motifs characteristic of viral RNA-dependent RNA-polymerases (RdRps). The RdRp encoded by the ORF shares 91.84% identity with that of isolate HC025 of sclerotinia sclerotiorum mitovirus 1 (SsMV1) and consequently it was tentatively named SsMV1-D7. As for previously described mitoviruses, the termini of the (+) strand of SsMV1-D7 RNA could potentially fold into stable secondary structures. Horizontal transmission and virulence experiments showed that SsMV1-D7 is probably responsible for the altered growth and virulence of S. sclerotiorum .

Background: Clinical practice and recent research indicate that dissociative symptoms and disorders are left unidentified and undiagnosed by health professionals. Based on a clinical case from our work setting, this article describes relevant literature regarding dissociation and dissociative disorders to add to the knowledge of the theoretical and phenomenological features of complex dissociative disorders. Further, we describe differential diagnostic challenges that may arise in clinical practice. Methods: Both systematic and non-systematic literature searches were performed. Findings: Recent research shows the Trauma model to be central to understanding dissociative disorders. Symptoms can be mistaken for cognitive difficulties, oppositional issues or other somatic symptoms. Quantitative measures, systematic observations and clinical evaluations are fundamental for identifying dissociative symptoms and disorders. Implications: There is potential for identifying and evaluating dissociative symptoms at an earlier stage. Interdisciplinary and differential diagnostic evaluations are crucial to provide adequate understanding, assessment, and treatment of these patients. Keywords: Dissociative identity disorder, dissociation, somnambulism, biopsychosocial framework, clinical practice

Different sweet sorghum varieties were ensiled and silage quality attributes were determined in the present study. M81-E, Ramada, Roma, Topper-76, UNL Hybrid and No91 sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor var. saccharatum (L.) Mohlenbr.) genotypes were used as the plant material for the study. Field experiments were conducted at the experimental fields of Eastern Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute (Dogankent-Adana) in the years 2016 and 2017 under second-crop conditions (June-October) in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Average green herbage yield, dry matter yield, crude protein yield, crude protein (CP) ratio, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), dry matter intake (DMI) and relative feed value (RFV) varied between 151.5-188.7 Mg ha−1; 46.6-61.2 Mg ha−1; 2166-2905 kg ha−1; 4.08-5.22%, 39.11-43.10%, 24.31-28.36%, 2.81-3.11%, and 148.3-168.4. Present findings revealed that M81-E, Topper-76, UNL hybrid and No91 varieties were higher with herbage and DM yield while Ramada and Roma were higher with silage quality attributes. It was observed that the sweet sorghum varieties at second-crop growing period (JuneOctober) under Eastern Mediterranean (Adana) conditions for 100-120 days had green herbage, dry matter and crude protein yields more than 180 Mg ha−1, 50 Mg ha−1 and 2300 kg ha−1, respectively. These varieties had RFV of above 150. Such a value was greater than the RFV of several other forage crops.

Nili Ravi buffaloes are considered black gold being highest milk producers in the world. The study was performed for genetic evaluation of linear type traits and explore their relationships with milk production traits of Nili Ravi buffaloes. Data on Nili Ravi Buffaloes (n=437) present at 5 experimental livestocks farms in Punjab, Pakistan were recorded for linear type traits follwoing ICAR gudelines and adopting a linear scale of 1-9 during 2010-2012 encompassing 1180 records for each trait. A mixed effect model was applied where herd, year, parity, season were fitted as fixed effects and age as covariable. All analyses were performed by using Proc GLM of the SAS software. Variance components were estimated by ASREML software and genetic parameters were computed by post-processing. Least square means for linear scores of stature, chest width, body depth, angularity, rump angle and rump width were 5.07±1.35, 5.23±2.35, 5.41±1.49, 5.76±0.98, 6.73±1.53, 4.91±1.85, respectively. Corresponding genetic correlations (rG) of linear scores of the traits with test day milk yield were 0.57±0.05, 0.09±0.02, 0.31±0.04, 0.06±0.02, 0.15±0.03 and 0.30±0.05, respectively while with 305 days milk yield were 0.14±0.00, 0.04±0.00, 0.21±0.00, 0.02±0.00, 0.11±0.00 and 0.19±0.00, respectively. It was found that some of traits (stature, body depth and rump width) had considerable amount of rG with milk yield. It is therefore suggested that any selection model for Nili Ravi buffalo must contain these useful linear type traits.

Grape pomace from the wine industry has been used in ruminant nutrition to meet the requirements of animals during shortages of conventional feed in most parts of the world. The aim of the current study was to screen Turkish grape pomaces (GPs) collected from various sites for chemical composition and anti-methanogenic potential using an in vitro gas production technique. Source had a significant effect on the chemical composition, gas production, methane (CH 4 ) production, metabolizable energy (ME), and organic matter digestibility (OMD) of some Turkish GPs. Crude ash (CA), ether extract (EE), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), condensed tannin (CT) contents, gas production, CH 4 production, ME, and OMD values of the GPs were in the ranges of 3.90-9.37%, 3.07-7.87%, 2.65-13.50%, 26.60-58.80%, 24.98-53.88%, 1.99-16.43%, 42.75-113.50 mL, 5.57-13.38 mL, 5.36-8.69 MJ/kg DM, and 39.87-61.27%, respectively. The in vitro experiment showed that most of the GP samples studied have low CH 4 mitigation potential. However, there is a need for in vivo experiments to test the mitigating potential of GP samples.

The study was undertaken to evaluate supplementation of different fat sources (buffalo kidney, pelvic, heart (KPH) fat, sheep tail fat, palm kernel butterfat) on shelf life parameters (thiobarbituric acid values (TBARs), total viable count (TVC), water activity (aw) and color values) in sausages of buffalo calves at different storage temperature and storage duration. Sausages were prepared by employing the hurdle technology that includes mixing of minced buffalo meat and 20% fat with spice mixture, ascorbic acid, 0.5% Nitrite-NaCl, phosphate, 5% potassium ascorbate spray. Sausages were stored at refrigerated (2±2 °C) and in an incubator to mimic high ambient temperature (35±2 °C) until 11 days or acceptable limits. The data were analyzed through factorial ANOVA. Results show that hurdle treatment collectively increased the shelf life by significantly reducing quality deterioration during storage. Lowest color lightness (L*) values were recorded in animal-based fat sausages, while the redness (a*) values were increased during the storage, and maximum values were observed during storage at ambient temperature. Sheep tail fat sausages exhibited the highest TBARs and TVC values. Similarly, storage temperature and duration affected the quality characteristics, samples stored at an ambient temperature markedly increased the TBARS, TVC and color throughout the storage duration, whereas Aw value decreased. Palm kernel butterfat (PKBF) sausages show higher lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) values and lower redness(a*) values than buffalo kidney, pelvic, heart (KPH) fat and sheep tail fat (STF) sausages. PKBF sausages showed lowest TVC values represented in terms of log cfu/g while the highest values were observed in STF sausages; however, KPH sausages showed mediate values. Based on these results, it was concluded that sausages made from palm kernel butter fat showed the highest shelf life as compared to the animal source fat sources.

Beetal is a large-sized goat breed in Pakistan, produce an average from 1.5 to 3 liters of milk on daily basis and is known for several features, including heat tolerance, prolificacy, and multi-purpose utilization. In spite of such remarkable features, gross anatomical characteristics of these goats are still not explored. Therefore, this preliminary study was designed to measure clinically important landmarks in the skull of adult Beetal goat in both sex as an attempt to provide a baseline data. Skulls (n=20) of Beetal goats (10 each of males and females) were used in the study. The skulls of both sexes were collected from apparently clinically healthy goats after slaughtering at an abattoir and treated according to the hot water maceration procedures. Biometric parameters were measured with the help of a digital vernier calliper. Descriptive statistics of the measured skull parameters did not show statistically significant differences between male and female adult Beetal goat. However, the studied parameters demonstrated variations from previously reported data in other breeds of goat and sheep. The measured anatomical standards are of clinical significance and will aid in regional nerve blocks and archaeological studies.

However, the studied parameters demonstrated variations from previously reported data in other breeds of goat and sheep. The measured anatomical standards are of clinical significance and will aid in regional nerve blocks and archaeological studies.","PeriodicalId":8656,"journal":{"name":"August 1985","volume":"428 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78770254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aloe vera seems to have an essential role over millennia in several cultures, as well as in Greek. Νowadays it is a fact that Greece, because of the economic crisis, focused on the cultivation of alternative plants including Aloe. This cultivation attracts the farmers’ interest both for its good adaptability to the local climate and for its beneficial propert ies. According to the literature, they can harvest 7,000 kg of leaves containing about 70-80% gel per acre. Also, it is noteworthy that the main purpose of the cultivation of this species, is the leaves’ processing in order to obtain its beneficial properties for skin, health, weight loss etc. In addition, as far as the domestic commercialization and market demand of Aloe vera are concerned, it is observed that they are still in an embryonic stage, and are in need of enrichment with direct supply chains with the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries that will supply with Aloe’s gel their production lines. The present review focuses on the current state of the Aloe’s cultivation, utilization and commercialization in Greece, so it can be used as a baseline information for further research.
