Pupillary Light Response Deficits in 4-Week-Old Piglets and Adolescent Children after Low-Velocity Head Rotations and Sports-Related Concussions by Anna Oeur, Mackenzie Mull, Giancarlo Riccobono, Kristy B. Arbogast, Kenneth J. Ciuffreda, Nabin Joshi, Daniele Fedonni, Christina L. Master, Susan S. Margulies

“…We conclude that PLR is a feasible, quantifiable involuntary physiological metric of neurological dysfunction in pigs, as well as humans. Healthy PLR porcine and human reference ranges established can be used for neurofunctional assessments after TBI or hypoxic exposures (e.g., stroke, apnea, or cardiac arrest).…”

Application of Creep Feed and Phytase Super-Dosing as Tools to Support Digestive Adaption and Feed Efficiency in Piglets at Weaning by Sophie A. Lee, Erica Febery, Pete Wilcock, Michael R. Bedford

“…In the first week post-weaning, creep-fed piglets had higher daily gains (0.23 vs. 0.14 kg/d, <i>p</i> < 0.05) and a lower feed conversion ratio (FCR, 0.99 vs. 1.35, <i>p</i> < 0.01), compared to non-creep-fed pigs. At 21 days post-weaning, irrespective of creep feed, phytase supplementation reduced FCR (1.10 vs. 1.18, <i>p</i> = 0.05) of piglets. …”

A phylogenomic analysis of Limosilactobacillus reuteri reveals ancient and stable evolutionary relationships with rodents and birds and zoonotic transmission to humans by Fuyong Li, Xudong Li, Christopher C. Cheng, Dalimil Bujdoš, Stephanie Tollenaar, David J. Simpson, Guergana Tasseva, Maria Elisa Perez-Muñoz, Steven Frese, Michael G. Gänzle, Jens Walter, Jinshui Zheng

“…The phylogenetic analysis of L. reuteri revealed early-branching lineages that primarily consist of isolates from rodents (four lineages) and birds (one lineage), while lineages dominated by strains from herbivores, humans, pigs, and primates arose more recently and were less host specific. …”

Effects of medium chain triglycerides on hepatic fatty acid oxidation in clofibrate-fed newborn piglets by Jinan Zhao, Brandon Pike, Jin Huang, Zhihua Feng, Jack Odle, Xi Lin

“…Each group was fed an isocaloric milk formula containing either 0% or 0.35% clofibrate (wt/wt, dry matter basis) with 5% SUC, T2M, TC5 or TC6 for 5 d. Another 6 pigs served as newborn controls. Fatty acid oxidation was examined in fresh homogenates of liver collected on d 6 using [1-14C] palmitic acid (1 mM) as a substrate (0.265 μCi/μmol). …”

Left ventricular assist device as an alternative for Norwood-Sano in hipoplasic left heart syndrome, an experimental model by Raul Sanchez-Perez, Juvenal Rey, Bunty Ramchandani, Blanca Torres, Paula Burgos, Beatriz Salamanca, Álvaro González-Rocafort, Luz Polo, Ángel Aroca

“…Although the conditions have not been met to start a program for patients, the initial results show that the technique is feasible in pigs. We believe that this line of research is worth exploring as cardiac transplant in conditions of biventricular physiology could be less risky and offer better results than the classical univentricular path. …”
