Participaron 209 estudiantes de la licenciatura en Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia, en su cuarto año de carrera. La instrucción se llevó a cabo de manera asincrónica, a través de foros, lecturas y podcast, también se realizaron sesiones sincrónicas mediante videoconferencia. Para evaluar el cambio en el nivel de conocimientos, se aplicó un cuestionario al inicio del curso (semana 1) y al final (semana 10), utilizando la plataforma de Formularios de Google™. Los estudiantes participaron de forma voluntaria, y solo se recopiló su dirección de correo electrónico institucional para vincular los cuestionarios inicial y final. Las preguntas del cuestionario abarcaron diferentes áreas de conocimiento: anestesia (10 %), asepsia (20 %), hemostasia (10 %), manejo delicado de tejidos (20 %) y sutura (40 %). En el cuestionario inicial, el promedio de calificación fue de 5 sobre 10; mientras que, en el final, de 8 sobre 10. Mediante la prueba de rangos firmados de Wilcoxon, se encontró una diferencia significativa (P < 0.0001) entre las calificaciones iniciales y finales. Se identificó la necesidad de reforzar los conocimientos en el manejo delicado de tejidos y sutura. Estos resultados indican que este modelo de enseñanza a distancia tiene el potencial de mejorar la eficacia del autoaprendizaje de los estudiantes en los principios básicos de cirugía.","PeriodicalId":23475,"journal":{"name":"Veterinaria México OA","volume":"23 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141354514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, dogs express visual and auditory signals differently according to the situation they are experiencing. However, there is a need for more research on smaller breeds since they tend to display more behavioral issues than larger breeds. The objective of the present study was to identify the behavioral characteristics of 25 dogs of three different small breeds (Chihuahua, Toy Poodle, and Miniature Schnauzer) in a negative context. We used a web-based tool called the Dog Actions Video Annotation Interface (DAVAI) to evaluate the movements of the tail, legs, snout, and vocalizations when the dogs were exposed to unfamiliar people. Our results showed no significant differences in dog behavior associated with breed. However, we identified variations in dog vocalizations explained by the sex, with male dogs whining more frequently than females. We highlight the importance of understanding dog body language and vocalizations, regardless of their breed. Our study is particularly relevant in negative contexts, where dogs may exhibit distress signals that require prompt intervention to alleviate their suffering.","PeriodicalId":23475,"journal":{"name":"Veterinaria México OA","volume":"126 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141115226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The administration of additional amounts of any source of calcium has been shown to be insufficient to meet the demand for calcium. However, improved calcium F has already been achieved in these hens if calcium carbonate is pharmaceutically prepared as patented pellets (FOLAs). Hence, clinical challenges were set to test the FOLA pellets as a form to sustain egg production and eggshell thickness in 180-second and 180-third cycle Bovans-White laying hens, randomly divided into six groups, as follows: cycle-2 control group (GCC2); FOLA-group-capsaicin (GFcC2); FOLA-group-capsaicin-turmeric powder-cinnamon powder (GfexC2); control-group for third cycle hens (GCC3); FOLA-group-capsaicin (GFcC3); FOLA-group-capsaicin-turmeric powder-cinnamon powder (GFexC3). This trial was carried out under moderate heat-stress conditions, and a follow-up was carried out utilizing eye thermographic measurements. The results show that all FOLA-fed hens of the second or third laying cycle presented better laying average and eggshell thickness than the untreated control groups, i.e., GFcC2 128 % higher than GCC2; GfexC2 135 % higher than GCC2; GFcC3 168 % higher than GCC3; and GFexC3 was 173 % higher than GCC3 (P < 0.01 in all comparisons). FOLA pellet formulation, similar to GfexC2, is postulated as a viable natural solution to counter the decreased egg-laying and shell thickness in second and third-cycle hens under moderate heat stress.","PeriodicalId":23475,"journal":{"name":"Veterinaria México OA","volume":"115 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141017217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
