This case study suggests that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome may be hereditary in patients with connective tissue disorders due to a variant in the COL1A2 gene.

This study found that the SASJ procedure is a safe and effective bariatric approach, resulting in significant weight loss, improvement in obesity-related comorbidities, and a low risk of postsurgical complications over one year.

This study found that sleep deprivation in mice can trigger prostatitis by activating the cGAS-STING pathway due to reduced levels of dihydrotestosterone and melatonin, resulting in a pro-inflammatory environment, while recovery sleep can mitigate these effects.

This study aims to assess how daily life factors affect sleep patterns and describe individual sleep changes across the year, with results to be published in future research.

The pilot study found that while women with habitual short sleep increased their sleep duration by an average of 40.7 minutes, there were no significant changes in insulin sensitivity, androgens, or leptin levels post-intervention, suggesting further research is needed.

This study found that patients with various types of alopecia had affected quality of life and sleep, but these factors were not significantly associated with demographic variables.

In this study, researchers identified nine new sheep keratin genes, highlighting species-specific differences in the expression and compartmentalization of wool-related keratin genes compared to humans.

This study detailed the structure and amino acid composition of sheep trichohyalin, noting its presence in various tissues and suggesting a possible functional role beyond structural support in hair follicles.

In this study, zinc supplementation rapidly improved conditions such as anorexia, depression, and foot soreness in sheep and goats diagnosed with zinc deficiency, along with healing skin lesions and resumption of hair and wool growth.

The researchers reported that the net mineral requirements for weight gain in Morada Nova lambs differ from commonly recommended values by the Agricultural and Food Research Council.

This study found distinct expression patterns of various transcription types during hair follicle morphogenesis, providing a foundation for understanding hair development mechanisms and aiding selective breeding for desirable wool traits in a specific breed.

This study found that modified laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity reduced ghrelin levels, improved glycemic and insulin levels, and resulted in significant weight loss.

This study conducted in Egypt evaluated antifungal treatments for sheep with dermatophytosis, finding that tioconazole cream, clotrimazole spray, and fluconazole capsules were effective, with tioconazole cream providing an easily applicable and highly effective topical option, achieving a 100% cure rate in the short term.

This study used TMT-based quantitative proteomics to analyze the development of secondary hair follicles in fetal sheep, revealing increased follicle density and key proteins involved, such as COL1A1 and THBS4, indicating their potential role in wool quality traits.

This study identified a wide range of differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in the hair follicles of Hetian sheep, which may be useful for further research on improving carpet wool quality.

In this study of sheep across various breeds and ages, researchers found that Trichophyton mentagrophytes caused severe dermatophytosis, especially affecting young Shahbadi sheep during winter, leading to notable anemia and skin lesions.

This study identified specific genetic markers related to wool quality in Rambouillet sheep, which may aid breeders in making informed selection and breeding decisions for improved fine wool production.

This study found that keratinocytes derived from the germinative epithelium of ovine hair follicles have extensive in vitro growth potential, challenging the idea that these cells are solely transit-amplifying.

This study found that a cuticle keratin gene in sheep is a pseudogene due to gene duplication and mutations, lacking expression in vivo.

In this study, the high polarity fraction of Lanzhou Fat-Tailed Sheep tail fat showed significant antioxidant and wound healing properties in a mouse model, promoting faster wound closure and reducing inflammation by modulating cytokine levels and enhancing collagen production.

In this study on sheep, researchers found that 10% Aloe vera extract had satisfactory healing effects on skin wounds, demonstrating effective macroscopic and partially differing microscopic results compared to control groups after 22 days of treatment.

This study found that sheep with deficiencies in zinc, copper, and vitamin A exhibited symptoms like weight loss, skin disorders, and abnormal hematological and antioxidant enzyme levels compared to healthy sheep, suggesting that dietary supplementation of these nutrients could prevent these health issues.

This study on Dorper sheep identified important genetic factors influencing hair follicle development, finding that expression patterns and genes like DBI, FZD3, and ZDHHC21 play a crucial role in wool shedding, which could help improve understanding of mammalian skin-related traits and human hair advancement.

In this study, researchers found that oar-miR-377 regulates secondary hair follicle development in sheep by downregulating the SLC24A2 gene, and a specific SNP in oar-miR-377 is significantly associated with wool fiber diameter variation in Chinese Merino sheep.

This study found 100% efficacy in treating psoroptosis in sheep and wild goats using macrolide injections "Iveron-10" and "Dectomax," complemented by "Butox-50" bathing in sheep, though infestation initially affected all animals with varied severity.

In this study of Swedish sheep herds, nutritional deficiencies and telogen effluvium, possibly due to cold stress after shearing, were suggested as primary causes of wool loss.

In this study, researchers successfully established a stable transgenic sheep fibroblast cell line containing an artificially synthesized spider dragline silk protein gene.

This study found that suppressing allopregnanolone production in late gestation fetal sheep altered CNS activity and behavioral responses to transient asphyxia, effects mitigated by an analog co-infusion.

This study found that acute sleep deprivation enhanced 5α-reductase expression and activity in the rat prefrontal cortex, and finasteride treatment reduced associated psychosis- and mania-like behaviors.

This study suggests that managing sleep disorders, particularly those involving difficulty initiating sleep, may benefit from dietary interventions that reduce proinflammatory nutrients and increase anti-inflammatory nutrients.
