    TLDR The conclusion is that many small genetic variations influence claw disorders in cows, and using genomic selection could help reduce these disorders.
    The document presents a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on claw disorders and trimming status in dairy cattle, involving data from 20,474 cows for claw disorders and 50,238 cows for trimming status. The study identified 10 significant and 45 suggestive single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with claw disorders, mainly located on Bovine chromosome 8 (BTA8). Three of these suggestive SNPs were validated in a separate dataset of 185 bulls. No significant or suggestive SNP associations were found for infectious claw disorders, sole hemorrhage, and white line separation. For trimming status, one significant and one suggestive SNP were detected on BTA15. The study concluded that many SNPs, each explaining a small proportion of the genetic variance, influence claw disorders, suggesting that genomic selection could be a promising approach to reduce the incidence of claw disorders by breeding.

      community Do Platelet-rich plasma, PRP work?

      in Research/Science  13 upvotes 1 year ago
      Someone's brother tried Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for hair loss; it had minimal effect on hair but improved skin appearance. Microneedling at home was suggested as a more sustainable alternative.

      community Thoughts on platelet-rich plasma therapy

      in Treatment  3 upvotes 1 month ago
      Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss is expensive, painful, and often ineffective, with mixed reviews on its benefits. Alternatives like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants are suggested as more reliable options.

      community Why can't you drink caffeine after PRP?

      in Treatment  9 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation discusses avoiding caffeine after Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment for hair loss because caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, which can reduce blood flow and hinder the healing process that PRP aims to promote.

      The post and conversation are about a user who made their own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for hair loss treatment at home, using their own blood and a centrifuge. The responses vary, with some users supporting the DIY approach to save money, others expressing concern about the safety and effectiveness of the method, and a few joking about the lengths people will go to combat hair loss.

      community Anyone have PRP/Exosome results to share?

      in Treatment  3 upvotes 1 year ago
      Considering alternative treatments to hair loss, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and exosome therapy, instead of using medications like minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride.
