Successful Treatment of Clinical Ketosis in Dairy Cattle
Abstract: Ketosis is a post-parturient metabolic disease encountered in high yielders due to imbalance in production and feeding leading to gluconeogenesis along with formation of abnormally high levels of ketone bodies. The disorder is particularly seen within the first few weeks after calving. It arises due to a negative energy balance when energy demands for milk production exceed dietary energy intake, leading to excessive mobilization of body fat reserves and resulting …

An Approach towards in Management of Chronic Kidney Disease
Abstract: The current international guidelines define and classify the chronic kidney disease (CKD) as decreased kidney function shown by decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Glomerular filtration rate of 60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 for at least 3 months is a marker for kidney damage. The underlying causes for chronic kidney disease are proteinuria and hypertension. It is the main cause of CKD in many high-, middle- and low-income countries. In different countries, …

Revolutionizing Knee Osteoarthritis Diagnosis: Unleashing the Potential of Vision Transformers
Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common kind of arthritis. By analysing data from both sides of the knee joints, radiologists use the Kellgren–Lawrence (KL) grading system to determine the severity of osteoarthritis (OA). The need for knee arthroplasties has increased as a result of this. Recently, there have been proposals for computer-assisted techniques to improve the precision of OA diagnosis. Choosing between conservative and surgical treatment options for knee osteoarthritis …
