The Administration of Inactivated and Stabilized Whole-Cells of to Gestating Sows Improves Lactation Efficiency and Post-Weaning Antimicrobial Use.

Increasingly hyperprolific sows and the need to reduce antibiotics represent challenges in pig farming. The aim of this work was to determine the effects of a postbiotic obtained from inactivated and stabilized whole-cells of , administered during the sow's gestation, on the performance of the mother and litter. Maternal feed intake, productive parameters, colostrum quality and post-weaning piglets' health were assessed, including antibiotic consumption.

Engraftment potential of human amnion and chorion cells derived from term placenta.

Background: Fetal membranes are tissues of particular interest for several reasons, including their role in preventing rejection of the fetus and their early embryologic origin. which may entail progenitor potential. The immunologic reactivity and the transplantation potential of amnion and chorion cells, however, remain to be elucidated.

Treatment of primary invasive cervical cancer. Considerations on 997 consecutive cases.

From 1965 to 1979 997 consecutive cervical cancer patients were treated at the University of Brescia. Stage I B and II A low risk patients underwent radical surgery, followed by Co60 external pelvic radiation when positive nodes and/or adverse pathological factors on the specimens were encountered. In stage I B the 5-year survival was 95.
