Psychometric Testing and Validation of the Italian Version of the Helsinki Chronic Pain Index (I-HCPI) in Dogs with Pain Related to Osteoarthritis

Pain assessment is of paramount importance for properly managing dogs with osteoarthritis (OA) pain.The aim of the present study was to develop and psychometrically validate the Italian version of the Helsinki Chronic Pain Index (I-HCPI).Owners of OA painful (n = 87) and healthy dogs (n = 40) were administered the I-HCPI once or twice after an eigh

Multigene phylogeny and taxonomic revision of American shrimps of the genus Cryphiops Dana, 1852 (Decapoda, Palaemonidae) implies a proposal for reversal of precedence with Macrobrachium Spence Bate, 1868

The freshwater shrimp genus Cryphiops Dana, 1852 has a disjunct distribution in North (Mexico) and Heater Timer South (Brazil, Chile) America, and is composed of only six species.The current classification of genera in the Palaemonidae is controversial, based on variable morphological characters, and still far from a clear definition.Cryphiops diff

Remote sensing-based structural and functional assessments of Phragmites australis diebacks in the Mississippi River Delta

The Lower Mississippi River Delta (MRD) is dominated by Phragmites australis which provides a stabilizing force, protecting marsh communities from erosion and storm-related impacts.The MRD has experienced recent die-offs of Phragmites stands, which have coincided with a number of abiotic (hurricane and water-level) and biotic (Phragmites scale) str
