Avian macrorhabdosis is a disease of wild and captive birds (psittacines, passerines and other species) distributed worldwide, and is caused by the opportunistic yeast Macrorhabdus ornithogaster. The disease is usually chronic, and is manifested by nonspecific clinical signs (emaciation, anorexia, depression, cachexia and ultimately death), or gastrointestinal signs (regurgitation or attempted vomiting, watery diarrhea, and weight loss despite preserved appetite). It can also occur in a subclinical form, while the clinical disease can last for ...weeks, months (or even years). Diagnosis and therapy are still challenging for bird specialists for many reasons. During life, the diagnosis is made directly from stool smears after Gram staining by finding characteristic large, Gram-positive, 20 μm - 80 μm long and 3 μm - 4 μm wide rods, as well as a smear of the isthmus (proventricular-ventricular junction) after dissection. Early detection is possible using newly developed PCR tests. The only available drug against avian macrorhabdosis is amphotericin B, which is not effective in many cases regardless of the dose and duration of therapy. Although many birds have the causative agent in their digestive system, the disease is most likely to occur as a result of weakened immunity due to stress, poor hygiene, improper housing conditions and improper feeding, so regular periodic testing for macrorhabdosis is necessary.Read more

This study presents an assessment of the thermal uniformity of heating plates in vulcanizing presses used for splicing conveyor belts. A malfunctioning press can result in defective splices, potentially causing interruptions in material transport and leading to significant production losses. The research involved an analysis of temperature distribution on the surface of the heating plates—two in a lab and two in industrial settings using a thermal imaging camera. The results revealed considerable non-uniformity in both the heating rate an...d the steady-state temperature – with temperature differences reaching up to 40 °C within a single heating plate. Such deviations may lead to uneven vulcanization and reduced quality of the resulting belt joints, highlighting the importance of regular diagnostics of the presses.Read more

The accurate monitoring of temperature is critical in a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, food logistics, and data centers, where even minor thermal deviations can compromise safety, quality, and operational efficiency. Over recent years, the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded systems has significantly enhanced real-time temperature monitoring, enabling precise control via interconnected and autonomous systems.This work aims to review and analyze current temperature measurement systems designed fo...r critical environments. It identifies the strengths and weaknesses of different architectural approaches and their core components—such as sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, and gateways—focusing on aspects like scalability, reliability, energy efficiency, and response time. The study also highlights challenges and gaps in current technologies.The review was conducted using a traditional literature analysis methodology, drawing from scientific databases including IEEE Xplore, B-on, and Google Scholar. Key research was synthesized to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on IoT-based temperature monitoring technologies and their applications.The paper contributes a structured evaluation of the field and supports future research by outlining essential requirements, comparing technologies, and proposing directions for improvement in the development of adaptive, secure, and efficient temperature monitoring systems for high-risk environments.Read more

Women often play a central role in providing nutrition and care. The supportive character requires more attention to the concern of having a beautiful life. Health is central. In bustling cities to go to work, and the never-ending health routine kept her in check. In this paper, the short communication is to inform and gather evidence in support of women’s health and address their most frequent concerns over controlling the symptoms and managing their risks upon menopause. A woman’s strength is reflected in how she lives through hea...lth challenges. These issues highlight the fatigue and exhaustion caused by prolonged medication use and releasing herself from a worrisome condition to a severe one. Women tend to feel more liberated and health-conscious during this period when it comes to musculoskeletal and metabolic syndrome. Their daily routines of maintaining a healthy diet and engaging in physical exercise remain consistent.Read more
