Prevalence and risk factors of teat end hyperkeratosis in cows from the Urals region of Russia by A.S. Barkova, V.V. Verkhoturov

“…It was noted that animals with milking frequency of more than 2 times a day have a higher level of hyperkeratosis; likewise, animals with permanence in the box and prolongued milking have a higher percentage of lesions, which can be related to the narrowing of the lumen of the teat canal and excretion of a large volume of milk. …”

Female budgerigars prefer males with foraging skills that differ from their own by Yuqi Zou, Zitan Song, Jiani Chen, Yuehua Sun, Michael Griesser

“…Females preferred males with foraging skills that differed from their own, independent of the skill type and the number of times males solved the foraging puzzle. These findings show that foraging skills can influence social preferences, including in a mate choice context, and support intraspecific diversity in foraging skills.…”

Diagnostic classification in toxicologic pathology using attention-guided weak supervision and whole slide image features: a pilot study in rat livers by Philip Zehnder, Jeffrey Feng, Trung Nguyen, Philip Shen, Ruth Sullivan, Reina N. Fuji, Fangyao Hu

“…Even with advanced methods designed for digital histopathology, the domain of toxicologic pathology presents challenges in that histopathologic features may be at times complex, subtle, and/or rare. We propose an innovative weakly supervised learning method that leverages minimal annotations, a state-of-the-art self-supervised vision transformer for embedding extraction, and a novel guided attention mechanism that is better suited for heavily imbalanced datasets typical in toxicologic pathology. …”
