The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Potent monoclonal antibodies against multidrug‐resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
A novel immunization strategy using a low‐virulence, multidrug‐resistant strain yields synergistic monoclonal antibodies against hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae. These antibodies provide cross‐serotype protection through a dual‐mechanism of pathogen clearance and immunomodulation, offering a promising non‐antibiotic therapeutic for resistant ...

Neonatal mortality in piglets: genetics to improve behavioural vitality

, 2011
Maternal abilities and piglet vitality were analyzed on 24 Meishan (MS) and 24 Large White (LW) gilts. Females were inseminated with a mixture of semen from both breeds. Three MS and 3 LW boars were used to constitute 3 duos formed by mixing of MS and LW semen in equal proportions. Farrowing events were studied over 5 successive batches. The proportion

Forensic findings on acute mortality of piglets after ingestion of aflatoxin [PDF]

Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2015
Aflatoxin (AF) is one of the most significant mycotoxins in pigs and results in a significant decrease of production performance. This paper describes the first case of acute effects of AF in suckling piglets in Serbia. Within 7 days, 420 suckling piglets aged 20 +/- 3 days died on a farm.

Harvest increase and culling as tools for managing chronic wasting disease in white‐tailed deer

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used an agent‐based model to simulate the effect of CWD management on a white‐tailed deer population in northwest Indiana and northeast Illinois. Our results suggest that wildlife managers should reconsider how and if they should manage CWD. Abstract Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that affects white‐tailed ...

Preclinical 1H MRS Study of a Porcine Model Shows Evidence and Mechanisms for Acute Neuronal Injury in Neonatal Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) Surgery

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Congenital heart disease affects 1% of US births, with some infants requiring cardiothoracic surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Optimal surgical parameters to minimize neuronal injury are unknown. We used serial 1H MRS in a neonatal CPB porcine model to assess acute neuronal damage and associated injury mechanisms.
