Groups (5 to 15 per group) of gnotobiotic swine were infected oronasally with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) at 3 days of age and then given 1 of 6 different commercial Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae) bacterins as either a single dose (7 d of age, 1 application products) or 2 doses (7 and 21 d of age, 2 application product). Control groups received PCV2 alone (n = 9) or were infected with PCV2 and immunized twice with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) emulsified in incomplete Freund's adjuvant (ICFA) (n = 7). Five of 7 (71%) PCV2-infected piglets immunized with KLH/ICFA developed mild or overt PMWS, whereas none of 9 piglets infected with PCV2 alone developed PMWS. Five of 12 (42%) piglets vaccinated with a commercial bacterin containing mineral oil adjuvant developed PMWS following vaccination. None of the PCV2-infected piglets in the other bacterin-vaccinated groups developed PMWS in this model of PCV2-associated disease. This difference in prevalence of PMWS in piglets given the mineral oil-adjuvanted M. hyopneumoniae bacterin and the other M. hyopneumoniae bacterin vaccination groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

Introduction: In clinical diagnosis of porcine diseases, co-infection with multiple viruses often leads to similar clinical symptoms. Postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) can be caused by infections with TTSuV or PCV2, while PCV2, PRV, and PPV can cause respiratory and reproductive disorders in pigs. The overlapping clinical and pathological features of these infections necessitate the development of a rapid and specific method for differentiating and detecting these four DNA viruses.

The topological organization of the macroscopic cortical networks important for the development of complex brain functions. However, how the cortical morphometric organization develops during the third trimester and whether it demonstrates sexual and individual differences at this particular stage remain unclear. Here, we constructed the morphometric similarity network (MSN) based on morphological and microstructural features derived from multimodal MRI of two independent cohorts (cross-sectional and longitudinal) scanned at 30-44 postmenstrual weeks (PMW).

Professional medical publications writers (PMWs) cover a wide range of biomedical writing activities that recently includes translation of biomedical publications to plain language summaries (PLS). The consumer health informatics literature (CHI) consistently describes the importance of incorporating health literacy principles in any natural language processing (NLP) app designed to communicate medical information to lay audiences, particularly patients. In this stepwise systematic review, we searched PubMed indexed literature for CHI NLP-based apps that have the potential to assist PMWs in developing text based PLS.

Porcine Circovirus 2 (PCV2) is the major causative agent of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) of swine and is one of the reasons for severe economic loss in swine industry. In India, there is a considerable prevalence rate of PCV2 infection in pig population, PCV2d being the most prominent genotype. Proper sero-diagnosis and sero-surveillance of the disease is formulated as an effective control measure.
