KINEMATIC ANALYSIS QUANTIFIES GAIT ABNORMALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH LAMENESS IN BROILER CHICKENS AND IDENTIFIES EVOLUTIONARY GAIT DIFFERENCES.

Kinematic analysis quantifies gait abnormalities associated with lameness in broiler chickens and identifies evolutionary gait differences.

This is the first time that gait characteristics of broiler (meat) chickens have been compared with their progenitor, jungle fowl, and the first kinematic study to report a link between broiler gait parameters and defined lameness scores.A commercial motion-capturing system recorded three-dimensional temporospatial information during walking.The hy

General Concepts in Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Congenital heart disease in adults (adult congenital heart disease) is a growing burden for healthcare systems.While infant mortality due to congenital heart disease in the last four decades decreased by almost 3-fold, adult congenital Satchel heart disease prevalence increased by more than 2-fold in United States.Adult congenital heart disease pre
