Welfare in Nile Tilapia Production: Dorsal Fin Erection as a Visual Indicator for Insensibility

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
In aquaculture, to ensure animal welfare in pre-slaughter and slaughter stages, it is fundamental that fish are insensible. A method for evaluating fish insensibility is based on visual sensibility indicators (VSI) assessment (i.e., self-initiated ...

Impacts of Skin Eccrine Glands on the Measured Values of Transepidermal Water Loss

open access: yesCureus, 2022
Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is widely used to assess and quantify skin insensible water loss to assess skin’s barrier function integrity. Low TEWL values are normally indicative of intact skin and a healthy functional barrier, whereas an increased ...

Does control of insensible evaporative water loss by two species of mesic parrot have a thermoregulatory role?

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2020
Insensible evaporative water loss (EWL) at or below thermoneutrality is generally assumed to be a passive physical process. However, some arid zone mammals and a single arid zone bird can control their insensible water loss, so we tested the hypothesis ...

Two lines of evidence for physiological control of insensible evaporative water loss by a tiny marsupial

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2020
We present two independent lines of evidence that a tiny dasyurid marsupial, the ningaui (Ningaui spp.), has acute physiological control of its insensible evaporative water loss below and within thermoneutrality.

The effect of agility exercise on eicosanoid excretion, oxidant status, and plasma lactate in dogs

open access: yesBMC Veterinary Research, 2012
Background The objective was to determine the effects of agility exercise on dogs of different skill levels with respect to urinary eicosanoids, urinary 15F2t-isoprostane (lipid peroxidation marker) and hematological/biochemical changes in plasma ...

Principles and practice of parenteral nutrition in the neonatal period.

open access: yesActa Médica Portuguesa, 1997
In extremely preterm or critically ill infants, the parenteral route for maintaining nutritional integrity has to be relied upon before successful transition to the enteral route of feeding is achieved.

Fluid Balance Variations During the Early Phase of Large Hemispheric Stroke Are Associated With Patients' Functional Outcome

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2019
Background: From the variety of factors underlying the ischemia-associated edema formation in large hemispheric stroke (LHS), an increased brain water content during the early phase seems to have a pivotal role for long-lasting tissue damage.
