Computed Tomographic Findings Secondary to Dental Pathologies: Comparison between Rabbits and Guinea Pigs [PDF]
(1) Background: dental pathologies are the most frequent reason for requesting a CT scan of the head in rabbits and guinea pigs. The study aimed to review head CT exams of both species to identify and characterize lesions secondary to dental disease. (2)

Peculiarities of changes in a functional condition of pro-oxidant and antioxidant systems in guinea pigs’ lungs in experimental allergic alveolitis under the conditions of immobilization stress [PDF]
We have analyzed the results of investigation of alterations in indices of pro-oxidant (conjugated diene and malondialdehyde) and antioxidant (superoxide dismutase, ceruloplasmin, catalase) systems in guinea pigs’ lungs in experimental allergic ...

Differences in Formation of Prepuce and Urethral Groove During Penile Development Between Guinea Pigs and Mice Are Controlled by Differential Expression of Shh, Fgf10 and Fgfr2 [PDF]
The penile tubular urethra forms by canalization of the urethral plate without forming an obvious urethral groove in mice, while the urethral epithelium forms a fully open urethral groove before urethra closure through the distal-opening-proximal-closing

Morphological and vascular evidence of glaucomatous damage in myopic guinea pigs with scleral crosslinking [PDF]
Guinea pigs are often used as models for myopia studies. However, the imaging structure and vasculature of the optic nerve head (ONH) in guinea pigs are tentative.

Use of a Guinea pig-specific transcriptome array for evaluation of protective immunity against genital chlamydial infection following intranasal vaccination in Guinea pigs. [PDF]
Guinea pigs have been used as a second animal model to validate putative anti-chlamydial vaccine candidates tested in mice. However, the lack of guinea pig-specific reagents has limited the utility of this animal model in Chlamydia sp.

Acceleration of angiogenesis in wound healing after tooth extraction with kirinyuh (Chromolaena odorata) leaf extract [PDF]
Tooth extraction is dental procedure that causes wound in oral cavity. Kirinyuh leaves (Chromolaena odorata) contain flavonoids, saponins and tannins which help the wound healing after tooth extraction.

Small animal biomagnetism applications [PDF]
The functioning of the human brain, nervous system and heart is based on the conduction of electrical signals. These electrical signals also create magnetic fields which extend outside the human body. Highly sensitive magnetometers, such as superconducting quantum interference device magnetometers or optically pumped magnetometers, placed outside the ...
