Preliminary ultrasonography study of the pancreas in the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) by El Hassania Lakhel, Khalid El Allali, Mohamed Rachid Achaâban, Rahma Azrib

“…The pancreatic major duct was seen as an anechoic circle with a hyperechoic wall, with a maximum diameter of 1 cm, and the left lobe scanned beneath the cranial extremity of the spleen; its ultrasonographic pattern showed an irregular hypoechoic band with a mean thickness of 2.32 ± 0.32 cm (n = 14) in young camels and 3.08 ± 0.52 cm (n = 8) in the adults, including a small splenic vein.ConclusionUltrasonography combined with Doppler techniques provides valuable information on pancreatic health, blood flow, and tissue perfusion, aiding early detection of pancreatic diseases and, consequently, minimizing economic losses in camel husbandry.…”

NLRX1 limits inflammatory neurodegeneration in the anterior visual pathway by Alexander J. Gill, Matthew D. Smith, Danny Galleguillos, Thomas Garton, Jackson W. Mace, Sachin P. Gadani, Swati Kumar, Aayush Pokharel, Krista Solem, Saahith Potluri, Omar Hussein, Giuliana Sardi Rogines, Arihant Singh, Annatje Clark, Peter A. Calabresi, Marjan Gharagozloo

“…We quantified retinal ganglion cell (RGC) density and optic nerve axonal degeneration, gliosis, and T-cell infiltration in Nlrx1 −/− and wild-type (WT) EAE mice and found increased RGC loss and axonal injury in Nlrx1 −/− mice compared to WT mice in both active immunization EAE and spontaneous opticospinal encephalomyelitis (OSE) models. To minimize the effects of Nlrx1 −/− on peripheral lymphocyte priming during EAE, we performed adoptive transfer experiments, in which activated myelin-specific T cells were transferred into lymphocyte-deficient Rag −/− or Nlrx1 −/− Rag −/− mice. …”
