Increased Space Allowance Improves Productivity and Welfare in Growing Pigs Assessed Using Artificial Intelligence-Based Monitoring of Agonistic Behavior [PDF]
BiologyRearing density influences pig productivity and welfare, but its behavioral and physio-logical effects remain unclear. This study evaluated how increasing space allowance from 0.57 to 0.97 m2/pig affects growth, agonistic behavior, and stress in growing ...

Dopamine Agonists and Pathologic Behaviors [PDF]
Parkinson's Disease, 2012 The dopamine agonists ropinirole and pramipexole exhibit highly specific affinity for the cerebral dopamine D3 receptor. Use of these medications in Parkinson’s disease has been complicated by the emergence of pathologic behavioral patterns such as hypersexuality, pathologic gambling, excessive hobbying, and other circumscribed obsessive-compulsive ...
