Phenotypic variation of dairy cows’ hematic metabolites and feasibility of non-invasive monitoring of the metabolic status in the transition period by Silvia Magro, Angela Costa, Damiano Cavallini, Elena Chiarin, Massimo De Marchi

“…For β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), cholesterol, glucose, urea, total protein, albumin, globulin, minerals, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, creatine kinase, total bilirubin, and cortisol, the effects of parity, days in milk, and season were investigated using a linear model.Results and discussionThe results indicate that all fixed effects significantly affected the hematic concentration of most of the traits. Regarding MIR, the most predictable traits were BHB, NEFA, and urea, with coefficients of determination equal to 0.57, 0.62, and 0.89, respectively. …”

Using reference equations to standardise incremental shuttle walk test performance in children and young people with chronic conditions and facilitate the evaluation of exercise ca... by Eleanor Main, Melanie Bladen, Emma Raywood, Deepti Chugh, Nicole Filipow, Helen Douglas, Nicky Murray, Rachel O'Connor, Elisabeth Robinson, Nikki Thorpe

“…Aims The aim was to evaluate whether standardised exercise performance during the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) can be used to assess disease severity in children and young people (CYP) with chronic conditions, through (1) identifying the most appropriate paediatric normative reference equation for the ISWT, (2) assessing how well CYP with haemophilia and cystic fibrosis (CF) perform against the values predicted by the best fit reference equation and (3) evaluating the association between standardised ISWT performance and disease severity.Methods A cross-sectional analysis was carried out using existing data from two independent studies (2018–2019) at paediatric hospitals in London,UK. …”
