Larval digestive system ontogeny and early weaning in neon tetra Paracheirodon innesi.

The intensive culture of characid teleosts for ornamental trade is highly dependent on live feed organisms, particularly Artemia nauplii, to provide nutrition through the larval stage. Live feeds have inherent disadvantages relative to prepared microparticulate diets (MDs), specifically availability, labor and cost. In this research, the dependence of larval Paracheirodon innesi on live Artemia was confirmed via a nutritional trial.

A Novel Technique for Performing Transfemoral Transcatheter Self-Expanding Aortic Valve Replacement With No Contrast Which Minimizes Acute Kidney Injury.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) treats severe aortic stenosis. However, patients with limited renal function may be ineligible for contrast use during valve deployment. We evaluate TAVR via transfemoral approach using 2-wire technique and no contrast injection.

Systematic review of multiple versus single device closure of Secundum atrial septal defects in adults.

Introduction: Multiple device closure (MDC) strategy has been used in treating of complex Atrial septal defects (ASDs) in adults. The safety profile of MDC compared to conventional single device closure (SDC) is unknown in this population. This report represents the first review examining the outcomes of single versus multiple device ASD closure in adults with ostium secundum defects.

A Review of Salinity's Impact on Relevant Aquatic Drug Approval Technical Sections.

Currently, in the USA, there are no aquatic animal drugs approved for use in saltwater-reared finfish. As U.S.
