Use of a Ray-Based Reconstruction Algorithm to Accurately Quantify Preclinical MicroSPECT Images by Bert Vandeghinste, Roel Van Holen, Christian Vanhove, Filip De Vos, Stefaan Vandenberghe, Steven Staelens

“…This was investigated with an extensive phantom-based evaluation and two typical in vivo studies using 99m Tc and 111 In, measured on a commercially available cadmium zinc telluride (CZT)-based small-animal scanner. Iterative reconstruction was implemented on the GPU using ray tracing, including (1) scatter correction, (2) computed tomography-based attenuation correction, (3) resolution recovery, and (4) edge-preserving smoothing. …”

Gender relations and women's empowerment in small-scale irrigated forage production in Ethiopia. by Immaculate Omondi, Esther Njuguna-Mungai, Melkamu Bezabih Derseh, Nils Teufel, Alessandra Galiè, Nelly Njiru, Eunice Kariuki, Annet Abenakyo Mulema, Isabelle Baltenweck, Chris Stephen Jones

“…Small-scale cultivation and irrigation of planted forages can increase the availability of good-quality animal feed in smallholder farms. However, low adoption rates of improved forage technologies in most parts of sub-Saharan Africa have been observed and are partly attributed to limited understanding of gender dynamics in the context of production and utilization of planted forages. …”

A novel approach to completely alleviate peripheral neuropathic pain in human patients: insights from preclinical data by Safa Shehab, Mohammad I. K. Hamad, Bright Starling Emerald

“…In this review, we provide an overview of current treatments, their limitations, and a discussion on the potential of capsaicin and its analog, resiniferatoxin (RTX), for complete alleviation of nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain. In an animal model of neuropathic pain where the fifth lumbar (L5) spinal nerve is unilaterally ligated and cut, resulting in ipsilateral hyperalgesia, allodynia, and spontaneous pain akin to human neuropathic pain. …”

Bioimpedance as an alternative tool for subjective, visual scoring of a prevalent ham quality defect by Abie Sisay Mebre, Suliga Paweł, Egelandsdal Bjørg, Münch Daniel

“…To do so, visual scoring was performed together with measurements of bioimpedance, color, and pH in two ham muscles (Adductor, Semimembranosus) for 136 animals 24-hours post-mortem. When comparing with visual scoring, Pearson correlation analysis shows the strongest correlation for bioimpedance (Py, r = −0.46, R2 = 21%), followed by pHu (r = 0.44, R2 = 19%). …”
