Evaluation of dietary acid-binding capacity level on nursery pig growth performance and fecal dry matter.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate dietary acid-binding capacity-4 (ABC-4) level on weanling pig performance and fecal dry matter (DM). In both experiments, there were 5 pigs per pen and 12 replications per dietary treatment fed in two phases. In Exp.

Effects of low acid-binding capacity specialty soy protein sources on nursery pig performance in a commercial environment.

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of low acid-binding capacity () specialty soy protein sources on weanling pig performance. In experiment 1, 2,260 pigs, initially weighed 6.7 kg, were used to determine the effects of low ABC soy proteins as a replacement to poultry meal () or spray-dried blood plasma ().

Pneumocephalus due to temporohyoid osteoarthropathy in a 16-year-old Friesian mare.

A sixteen-year-old Friesian mare was admitted to the university clinic with the following clinical signs: anorexia, weight loss, fever, bilateral nasal discharge, unilateral facial paralysis and a non-healing corneal lesion. Endoscopic examination of the upper airways showed thickening of the proximal portion of the right stylohyoid bone. Computed tomography imaging showed pneumocephalus due to grade 3 unilateral temporohyoid osteoarthropathy (THO) with fracture of the petrous temporal bone.

Enhancement of Subcutaneous Islet Transplant Performance by Collagen 1 Gel.

Human islets can be transplanted into the portal vein for T1 diabetes, and a similar procedure is being used in a clinical trial for stem cell-derived beta-like cells. Efforts have been underway to find an alternative transplant site that will foster better islet cell survival and function. Although conceptually attractive, the subcutaneous (SC) site has yielded disappointing results, in spite of some improvements resulting from more attention paid to vascularization and differentiation factors, including collagen.
