Conservation of farm animal genetic resourcesIllaya Kumar
India is a vast country, rich in biodiversity. With its geographical area of 329 million hectares, India has almost all the climatic conditions and ecological zones found in different parts of the world, ranging from perpetual snow cover to equatorial and tropical conditions, from mangroves to humid tropics and hot and cold deserts as well as all the intermediate conditions. Before the advent of fossil fuel, animal energy was the only source of farm power and that also mainly from bullocks. In the recent past, a number of native breeds are facing fast genetic degradation and dilution because of intensive production system and unplanned introduction and use of exotic germplasm. This scenario, if continued, might result in depletion of the invaluable native germplasm having better potentiality for production, draught capacity, resistance to diseases and heat tolerance ability. In general, indigenous breeds provide the necessary genetic diversity needed by modern agriculture as a means to ensure stability and are vital building blocks for future livestock breeding programmes. Conservation of indigenous animal is needed for Genetic insurance, Scientific study, Economic potential, Environmental considerations, Cultural and ethical requirements, Energy source by In situ or Ex situ conservation techniques. There are some agencies like NBAGR involved in livestock conservation and the government also implemented projects for breeds conservation. There are many successful stories such as Sabarmathi Ashram goshala in the conservation of native breeds. Many foreign countries have realized the genetic potential of our indigenous breeds and using them for improvement of their germplasm. It is high time to proceed to conserve our germplasm.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an infectious and sometimes fatal viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed animals, including domestic and wild bovids. The virus causes a high fever lasting two to six days, followed by blisters inside the mouth and near the hoof that may rupture and cause lameness.
FMD has very severe implications for animal farming, since it is highly infectious and can be spread by infected animals comparatively easily through contact with contaminated farming equipment, vehicles, clothing, and feed, and by domestic and wild predators.Its containment demands considerable efforts in vaccination, strict monitoring, trade restrictions, quarantines, and the culling of both infected and healthy (uninfected) animals.

Slides from Saturday 20 October Norwich Science Festival 2018. Here I outline the importance of understanding the levels of genetic diversity in a pathogen and what that can tell you about how a species can adapt to new environments. I set out the importance of determining genetic diversity in the native, as well as invasion ranges. I present evidence which suggests that the ash dieback invasion of Europe was started by just two invading fungal isolates and also that the level of genetic diversity in the native range is very large. This raises many important questions on whether to continue to invest resources to reduce invasion potential despite the fungus already being in Europe.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

2. Fun facts about ASF
• Asfarviridae
• Swine-specific virus
• Very hardy in the environment
– Can withstand wide range of pH
– Resistant to certain disinfectants
– Can be killed by high heat
3. How is it transmitted?
• Maintained in specific ticks
• Infected pigs, meat/scraps
– Also infected equipment
• Feral pigs/wild boars
– Can travel up to 400km
– African warthog is a not affected
4. What does it do to the pig?
• High fever (105-106 F; normal is ~ 101 F)
• Rapid death after infection (<7 days pi – high
virulence)
• Looks like other diseases (PRRS, PCV, Salmonella)
5. How can it be controlled?
• Speedy diagnosis and euthanasia of sick pigs
• Burn/bury facilities (old with raw wood)
• Disinfection and downtime for modern facilities
• Aggressive biosecurity measures
• But…NO vaccine is available
7. Why is ASF of concern?
• ASF is a Foreign Animal Disease
– Never has been in the U.S.
• ASF research/development not been well-funded
• Has been ignored as a disease of Africa and not
considered as a threat to the U.S.
• Looks like other diseases of swine with high fever
8. Why is ASF of concern?
• The Russian Federation has seen a dramatic
increase in outbreaks since 2008
• Spread of ASF throughout the country has been
dramatic!
• In 2011, looked for opportunities to learn about
ASF and collaborate with researchers/scientists
from Russia
10. Sites visited:
• Russian National Swine Breeders Union, Moscow
• National Center for Virology and Microbiology,
Pokrov
• All-Russian Research Institute of Animal Health,
Vladimir (also an OIE FMDV center)
11. So why is Russia having such a hard time
controlling ASF?

14. Russian Pork Production
• Majority of production is small
stakeholders/peasant farms
• Only have started to grow “commercial”
operations within the last several years
• Many small farms house free-ranging pig with
little to no biosecurity measures
15. Role of State
General
Implementing State Programs, e.g.:
Development of Agriculture, 2008-12
Development of Beef Breeding, 2009-12
Food Security Doctrine
Spending $2.7 billion for interest rate
subsidies out of $5.1 billion federal
agriculture budget
Sorting out regulations with Customs Union
members Belarus and Kazakhstan
Meat and Dairy
Currently investing heavily in
dairy, livestock, and poultry
production
Blocking Imports through Tariff
Rate Quota’s (TRQ’s) and high
tariffs for above quota imports
85% self-sufficiency target in
poultry/meat and 90% in dairy
production by 2020
Grains/Feed
State Intervention Stocks stabilize
grain prices
Less active in promoting feed
industry
$105 million spent last year
fighting drought, lack of seeds
Frozen price of mineral fertilizers

Incidents
21. What is the current status for ASF?
• Newest infection reported = Republic of Karelia
(bordering Finland)
– Reported on 2-27-12
– Linked to waste feeding of contaminated hospital and
school scraps to village pigs
– At risk with populations of wild boar and on the
seasonal edge of species distribution (i.e. they will
move …far away)
22. Impacts and Outcomes
• Impact for ASF in Russia:
– Total damages ~ $3 billion roubles ($110 million US)
– 50% decrease in # of large farms (compared to 2010)
– Decrease of pigs by 35% between 2010-2012
– Rosselkhoznadzor cancelled licenses of many
producers
23. Impacts and Outcomes
• For the U.S.
– Strengthen research on ASF
– Develop/validate U.S. test kits
– Focus on on-farm biosecurity
– Focus testing on swill feeders (surveillance)
24. Outcomes for ASF
• Increased awareness of this damaging disease
• Increased focus and funding for ASF
– Oral fluid testing
– Genetic characterization of isolates
– Potential vaccine development
• Increased collaboration with Russian researchers
Almost half output comes from private households with average 1 acre plots. Agricultural enterprises usually remnants of old state collective farms. Large producers consolidated agro-business sector. Higher yields, more modern technologies. Interest in grain exports. http://www.ers.usda.gov/amberwaves/june10/features/fsuwheat.htm
$105 million spent last year to combat drought, lack of seeds. Freeze prices for mineral fertilizers. http://www.regnum.ru/news/fd-nw/1380714.html. $5.1 billion in 2011 budget for developing ag sector. Twice 2010 figure. Wheat export ban.
$203 million in support of livestock/crop production
$117 million to support breeding cattle
$33 million to prevent excessive slaughter of beef and dairy cattle breeding herd
$167 million for each region that didn’t reduce breeding livestock herd in 2010
$417 million for new subsidies to maintain positive dynamics of livestock production and ensure reasonable prices
$167 for agricultural insurance
Performance based subsidies of $0.15/lb of pork and $0.08/lb of poultry
7% of land is arable in Russia compared to 18% in America
На территории юга России сложилась эндемическая по АЧС ситуация. «заболевание фиксируется на территории три года подряд или в течение трёх из пяти последовательных лет». АЧС неудержимо распространяется со скоростью 360 км в год. По прогнозам, территория сформировавшегося очага стремится к территории Франции. Учитывая опыт стран, в которых бушевала АЧС, рассчитывать на быструю ликвидацию не приходится, так, в Испании начали проводить интенсивную Национальную программу по искоренению АЧС в 1989 г. И лишь к 1996 г. Страна смогла свести болезнь к нулю.
По-видимому, занос в Европу АЧС неизбежен и это лишь вопрос времени (с 2007 г. АЧС распространяется по России со скоростью 360 км в год), однако, можно сократить потери, для чего необходимо объединить научные знания и усилить взаимодействие ветеринарных служб всех стран, попадающих в зону риска поражения АЧС, поскольку, продолжительность искоренения АЧС зависит от интенсивности проводимых в странах мероприятий.
