Impact of neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio on the effect of hyperglycemia at admission on clinical outcomes after endovascular thrombectomy by Tao Tang, Dawei Zhang, Fang Wang, Tieping Fan, Aline M. Thomas, Xiaoyan Lan, Manhong Zhao, Di Li, Xinghui Zhao

“…There was a significant interaction between the NLR and hyperglycemia at admission on functional independence (p = 0.024). Hyperglycemia at admission was negatively associated with functional independence in low‐NLR patients (adjusted OR: 0.18, 95% CI: 0.07–0.42, p < 0.001), but not in high‐NLR patients (adjusted OR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.30–1.48, p = 0.320). …”

A comparison between Polish Holstein-Friesian and F1 hybrid Polish Holstein Friesian × Swedish Red cows in terms of milk yield traits by Paweł Solarczyk, Jan Slósarz, Marcin Gołębiewski, Kamila Puppel

“…The intensive breeding work of Holstein-Friesian cattle has led to the decrease in the diversity within the population and to inbreeding depression, which may impair its functional traits. In addition, as shown by the research, production traits are negatively correlated with functional traits such as reproduction, health, and longevity, which have a very strong impact on the profit of dairy farms. …”
