In solving the problem of qualitative improvement of beef breeds, it is important to improve the methods of practical use of existing parent couples selection methods, using histocompatibility antigens, polymorphic proteins and blood group systems. The purpose of the thesis is to determine the influence of homogeneous and heterogeneous selection of parent couples by blood group factors on the weight and linear growth of bulls of Ukrainian beef breed. The Ukrainian beef breed was bred using four breeds and is characterized by high variability in polymorphic features. The type of parent selection was determined by the index of B antigen similarity (ras) of cattle blood groups. The formula of D.A. Zhyvotovskyi and A.M. Mashurov was used to calculate the index of antigenic similarity of parents. Selection by ras of parents ≥ 0,268 was considered homogeneous, and by ras ≤ 0,267 heterogeneous. It has been proven that bulls that are descended from their parents with more ras pravail in the test on average daily gains and have a higher live weight. If ras of the parents is over 0.268, animals tend to improve their growth rate up to 8 months of age. After weaning this trend persists. The average daily gain of bulls obtained from parents with ras up to 0.267 is better in the period from 15 to 18 months, which indicates their lower precocity. If the antigenic similarity index of parents is more than 0.268, the animals are better in terms of the severity of meat forms at the age of 15 and 18 months. At the age of 15 months, bulls obtained from homogeneous selection by ras have smaller height measurements, better developed front of the torso in width and depth of the chest, longer torso and buttocks. Homogeneous selection of parental couples according to the B antigen similarity index of blood groups leads to improvement of weight growth and severity of meat forms of bulls of Ukrainian beef breed.

Immunogenetic Analysis

The aim of the work was to determine the immunogenetic characteristics of pigs of two Ukrainian breeds by their adaptability, resistance, reproduction, genetic homogeneity, the presence of alleles that determine the potential suitability for use in xenotransplantation and other biomedical purposes. At present, there is no breed or specialized line of pigs in Ukraine to address the urgent problems of humane medicine. However, there is a favorable situation for the creation of such a breed or the withdrawal of a specialized line because of the demand of pharmacological concerns for model biological objects to study the mechanisms of action of modern medical preparations, to develop methods of conducting bloodless surgical operations, modeling of the clinic and epidemiology of infectious diseases of different diseases. immune response, etc. In this context, there was a compelling reason to preserve the indigenous breeds of pigs of Ukraine, especially Ukrainian meat and Мyrgorod. Standard methods of immunogenetic analysis of pigs were used. The erythrocyte antigens of 9 blood group systems were determined using specific immune sera and the involvement of a bank of immunodiagnostics meeting international requirements. Blood groups were determined by the reaction of agglutination, an indirect Coombs test, and a hemolytic test. Statistical processing of the research results was performed using mathematical statistics using the GenAlex-6.0 computer program. As a result of the immunogenetic analysis of Ukrainian beef and myrrh-pig breeds, it was determined that each of them is characterized by a specific immunogenic profile, which is related to both breed characteristics and differences, and methods of their breeding. The difference between the distribution of the overwhelming number of alleles of blood groups was statistically significant. Pigs of Ukrainian meat and Мyrgorod breeds had the largest differences in allele distribution by B, E, F, K, L blood group systems with the presence of the Ladhjk marker allele in the latter (p < 0.05). The specificity of immunogenic profiles was evaluated, depending on the history of creation and the direction of the animal's performance. Species of Myrhorod and Ukrainian meat breeds with the presence of genotypes A - / - and Ebdgkmp / bdgkmp were found to determine the suitability of animals for xenotransplantation. Of the 80 animals tested for immunogenetic markers, only 24 individuals met the established selection criteria. The range of determined indicators of actual homozygosity for selected genotype animals ranged from 55.56% to the maximum value – 88.89%, mainly in sows from the Smorodinа, Rusalkа, Sorokа and Soyka families. According to molecular genetic analysis, you have been informed that the established criteria of the biomedical model meet only 13 individuals of Ukrainian meat breed. Among animals with the highest index of actual homozygosity, representatives of Cererа and Cіlina were identified, with Celina 4092 being homozygous for all blood group systems studied. The selection of pigs for blood alleles, desirable for xenotransplantation, with their transfer to the homozygous state: A -/- and Ebdgkmp / bdgkmp will impair the adaptive, first of all, reproductive qualities of the animals and create significant problems for the cultivation of such individuals. The possibility of the occurrence of reproductive and resistance disorders of pigs in the selection of blood groups genotypes modeled for xenotransplantation and the search for ways to overcome them are being considered.

Domestic cats descended from the African wildcat several thousand years ago. Cats have spread to all parts of the world, probably along routes between civilizations or geographical boundaries, leading to the movement of species, from Asia to the African continent through the Mediterranean basin, and finally to the American continent, Australia, and New Zealand. Currently, 73 cat breeds are recognized by the International Cat Association. With the increasing interest in the selection of breeds, the determination of blood groups in cats has acquired importance over time. The AB blood group system is the most important blood system in cats, in which A, B, and AB or C blood groups are identified. This systematic review describes data from previously published reports about cat blood types and cat breeds. After applying specific criteria, 28 eligible studies were identified in which the prevalence percentages for each blood group in correlation with specific cat breeds were reported. The breeds were, in turn, divided into four groups according to their geographic and phylogenetic origins as follows: Asian cat breeds, American cat breeds, European cat breeds, and breeds from Oceania. Although numerous studies were carried out before 2021, gaps in the literature on the AB system and, in particular, the Mik group are highlighted.

AbstractFor genomic selection in clonal breeding programs to be effective, crossing parents should be selected based on genomic predicted cross performance unless dominance is negligible. Genomic prediction of cross performance enables a balanced exploitation of the additive and dominance value simultaneously. Here, we compared different strategies for the implementation of genomic selection in clonal plant breeding programs. We used stochastic simulations to evaluate six combinations of three breeding programs and two parent selection methods. The three breeding programs included i) a breeding program that introduced genomic selection in the first clonal testing stage, and ii) two variations of a two-part breeding program with one and three crossing cycles per year, respectively. The two parent selection methods were i) selection of parents based on genomic estimated breeding values, and ii) selection of parents based on genomic predicted cross performance. Selection of parents based on genomic predicted cross performance produced faster genetic gain than selection of parents based on genomic estimated breeding values because it substantially reduced inbreeding when the dominance degree increased. The two-part breeding programs with one and three crossing cycles per year using genomic prediction of cross performance always produced the most genetic gain unless dominance was negligible. We conclude that i) in clonal breeding programs with genomic selection, parents should be selected based on genomic predicted cross performance, and ii) a two-part breeding program with parent selection based on genomic predicted cross performance to rapidly drive population improvement has great potential to improve breeding clonally propagated crops.

AbstractDyslipidaemia is a major risk factor for cardio-vascular disease, as it promotes atherosclerosis. While cross-sectional studies have identified higher serum cholesterol amongst individuals with the A blood group, there is less evidence from prospective studies whether this translates into a higher risk of dyslipidaemia that requires treatment, nor if this genetic factor interacts with smoking status. This study aimed to prospectively determine potential associations between smoking, ABO blood groups, and risk of incident dyslipidaemia requiring treatment, and to assess associations over strata of blood ABO group. We assessed associations between blood ABO group, smoking and dyslipidaemia in 74,206 women participating in the E3N cohort. We included women who did not have cardiovascular disease at baseline. Logistic regression was used to determine associations between ABO group, smoking and prevalent dyslipidaemia at baseline. Cox proportional hazard models were then used to determine if blood ABO group and smoking were associated with the risk of incident dyslipidaemia, amongst women free of dyslipidaemia at baseline. At baseline 28,281 women with prevalent dyslipidaemia were identified. Compared to the O-blood group, the non-O blood group was associated higher odds of with prevalent dyslipidaemia (ORnon-O = 1.09 [1.06: 1.13]). Amongst the women free of dyslipidaemia at baseline, 6041 incident cases of treated dyslipidaemia were identified during 454,951 person-years of follow-up. The non-O blood groups were associated with an increased risk of dyslipidaemia when compared to the O-group (HRnon-O = 1.16 [1.11: 1.22]), specifically the A blood-group (HRA = 1.18 [1.12: 1.25]). Current smokers were associated with an increased risk of incident dyslipidaemia (HR smokers = 1.27 [1.16: 1.37]), compared to never-smokers. No evidence for effect modification between smoking and ABO blood group was observed (p-effect modification = 0.45), although the highest risk was observed among AB blood group women who smoked (HR = 1.76 [1.22: 2.55]). In conclusion, the non-O blood groups, specifically the A group were associated with an increased risk of dyslipidaemia. Current smokers were associated with a 30% increased risk of dyslipidaemia. These results could aid in personalised approaches to the prevention of cardiovascular risk-factors.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is (1) to review, analyze and assess the existing literature on lean tools selection studies published from 2005 to 2021; (2) to identify the limitations faced by previous studies; and (3) to suggest future works that are necessary to facilitate the selection of lean tools.Design/methodology/approachA systematic approach was used in order to identify, collect and select the articles. Several keywords related to the selection of lean tools were used to collect articles from different Scopus indexed journals. Next, the study systematically reviewed and analyzed the selected papers to identify the lean tools' selection method and discussed its features and limitations.FindingsAn analysis of the results showed that previous studies have adopted two types of methods for selecting lean tools. First, there are various traditional methods being used. Second, multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods were commonly used in previous studies, such as the multi-objective decision-making method (MODM), single multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) methods and hybrid (MCDM). Moreover, the study revealed that the lean tools' selection methods in previous studies were based on evaluating the relationship between either lean tools and performance metrics or lean tools and waste, or both.Research limitations/implicationsIn terms of its theoretical value, the study is considered as an extension of the previous researches performed on this topic by determining and analyzing the features of the most selection methods of lean tools. Unlike previous review papers, this review had considered discussing and analyzing the characteristics and limitations of these methods. Section 2.2 of this paper reviewed some of the categories of MCDM methods as well as some of the traditional methods used in the selected previous studies. Section 2.1 of this paper explained the concept of lean management and its application benefits. Further, only three sectors were covered by the previous studies in this review paper. This study also provided recommendations for future research. Therefore, it provided researchers with a good conception of how to conduct the studies on lean tools selection. Besides, knowing the methods used in previous studies can help researchers develop new methods to select the best set of lean tools. That is, this study provided and advanced the existing knowledge base for researchers concerning lean tools selection, especially there is limited availability of review papers on this topic. Moreover, the study showed researchers the importance of the relationship between lean tools and indicators or/and performance indicators to determine the appropriate set of lean tools so that the results of future studies will be more realistic and acceptable.Practical implicationsPractically, manufacturers face a significant challenge when selecting proper lean tools. This study may enhance managers, manufacturers and company's knowledge to identify most of the methods used to choose the best set of lean tools and what are the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of these methods as well as the latest studies that have been adopted in this topic. That means this study can direct companies to prioritize the application of lean tools depending on either the manufacturing performance metrics or/and manufacturing wastes so that they avoid incorrect application of lean tools, which will add more non-value added activities to operations. Therefore companies can decrease the time and cost losses and enhancing the quality and efficiency of the performance. Correctly implementing the best set of lean tools in companies will lead in general to correctly applying lean management in corporations. Therefore, these lean tools can boost the economic aspect of companies and society through reducing waste, improving performance indicators, preserving time and cost, achieving quality, efficiency, competitiveness, boosting employee income and improving the gross domestic product. The correct lean tool selection reduces customer complaints and employee stress and improves work conditions, health, safety and labor wellbeing. Besides, the correct lean tools selection improves materials usage, energy usage, water usage and decreases liquid wastes, solid wastes and air emissions. As a result, the right selection of lean tools will have positive effects on both the environment and society. The study may also encourage manufacturers and researchers to adopt studies on lean tools selection in small- and medium-sized companies because the study referred to the importance and participation of these kinds of companies in a large proportion of the economy of developing countries. Further, the study may encourage some countries that have not previously adopted this type of study, academically and industrially to conduct lean tools selection studies.Social implicationsAs mentioned previously, the correct lean tool selection reduces customer complaints and employee stress and improves work conditions, health, safety and labor wellbeing. The proper lean tools selection improves materials usage, energy usage, water usage and decreases liquid wastes, solid wastes and air emissions. As a result, the right choice of lean tools will positively affect both the environment and society.Originality/valueThe study expanded the efforts of previous studies concerning lean management features. It provided an accurate review of most lean tools selection studies published from 2005 to 2021 and was not limited to the manufacturing sector. It further identified and briefly described the selection methods concerning lean tools adopted in each paper.

Proper selection of donor’s blood group is essential to prevent transfusion hazards. It is known that ABO antigen is fully developed at birth but the newborn baby does not produce ABO antibodies until 3 to 6 months of age. The ABO antibodies present in the serum of newborn babies are derived from mother’s blood due to placental transfer. So the blood group of the newborn baby is done by ABO antigen grouping (forward grouping) only, antibody grouping (reverse grouping) is not required. In case of transfusion of blood in newborn under 4 months of age, cross-matching of donor’s blood is done with the mother’s blood if it is available. We know, recipient’s same group of blood is always preferable in case of transfusion in adults or older children. But selection of blood for transfusion in the infants under 4 months of age depends on the mother’s blood group as well. If the mother’s blood group differs from the infant’s blood group, the infant’s same group of blood may not be selected for transfusion. For example, if the mother’s blood group is “O” and the newborn blood group is “A” or “B”, infant’s same group “A” or “B” group blood could not be transfused, because the anti-A & anti-B antibodies can be derived in the infant’s serum from mother’s blood which may react with the “A” or “B” antigen of the donor’s blood. In this case “O” group packed RBCs should be selected for transfusion. “O” group whole blood may contain IgG anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma which can react with the “A” or “B” antigen of the infant’s blood. So to avoid anti-A & anti-B antibodies in “O” group, plasma should be discarded and the packed RBCs should be transfused. In case of Rh-negative mother with Rh positive baby, Rh antibody may develop in mother’s blood and Rh antibody may enter into baby’s circulation, in this case the infant should be transfused with Rh-negative blood to avoid Rh antigen & antibody reaction. So for the selection of blood for transfusion in newborn baby up to the age of 4 months mother’s blood group is important to select the appropriate blood.

AbstractAppropriate patient selection and expedient recanalization are the mainstay of modern management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Only a minority of patients (7–15%) of patients are eligible for endovascular therapy. Patient selection may be time based or perfusion based. Central to both paradigms is the selection of a patient with a small core, a significant penumbra that can be differentiated from areas of oligemia. A brief review of patient selection methods is presented. Endovascular thrombectomy techniques using stentrievers or aspiration catheters have now become the treatment of choice for AIS with large vessel occlusion. A range of devices, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, are available in the market for the neurointerventionist to choose. Techniques vary between devices and between operators, but standardization and protocolization are important within each center. Complications must be anticipated to be avoided. Once reperfusion is achieved, outcomes must be safeguarded with competent postprocedure management to prevent secondary brain injury. These aspects are reviewed in this article.
