Background: To compare neonatal and pediatric resuscitation approaches to ventilation and chest compression by using either continuous chest compression with asynchronized ventilation (CCaV) or 3:1 Compression:Ventilation ration (3:1 C:V) during infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We hypothesized that 3:1 C:V compared to CCaV will reduce time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in infantile piglets with asphyxia-induced bradycardic cardiac arrest.
Methods: Twenty infantile piglets (5-10 days old) were anesthetized and asphyxiated by clamping the endotracheal tube. Piglets were randomized to 3:1 C:V or CCaV for resuscitation (n = 10/group). Heart rate, arterial blood pressure, carotid blood flow, cerebral oxygenation, and respiratory parameters were continuously recorded throughout the experiment.
Results: The median time (IQR) to ROSC among survivors was 157 (113-219) vs 421 (118-660) for 3:1 C:V and CCaV, respectively (p = 0.253). The duration of resuscitation with 3:1 C:V compared to CCaV was 206 (119-660) vs 660 (212-660)sec, respectively (p = 0.171). The number of piglets achieving ROSC with 3:1 C:V and CCaV were 7/10 and 6/10, respectively (p = 1.00). There was no difference in hemodynamic and respiratory parameters between groups.
Conclusions: Time to ROSC and survival was not different between 3:1 C:V and CCaV in infantile piglets. Either approach appears reasonable during infantile cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Impact: Similar time to return of spontaneous circulation and survival with 3:1 C:V and CCaV in infant piglets equivalent to 28-day-old children. Either approach appears reasonable during infantile cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Lack of scientific data to provide recommendations on when to switch between neonatal to pediatric resuscitation guidelines. No difference in time to return of spontaneous circulation or survival between 3:1 C:V and CCaV in infantile piglets with asphyxia-induced bradycardic cardiac arrest. Both methods are viable options during infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Excavations in the Eastern Suburb of Bronze Age Aegina Kolonna revealed the destruction deposit of two sequenced Early Mycenaean buildings (phase Late Helladic IIA; 16th century BC). The older building is interpreted as a widely undisturbed production site of purple-dye based on indicative finds such as ceramic sherds containing analyzable quantities of pigment, high amounts of mollusk shells, and a few functional facilities. Chemical analysis by HPLC and malacological determination revealed that the banded dye-murex (Hexaplex trunculus) was used almost exclusively.

Background: Recently, the American Heart Association released a statement calling for research examining the appropriate age to transition from the neonatal to pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation approach to resuscitation.
Aim: To compare neonatal and pediatric resuscitation approach by using either continuous chest compression with asynchronized ventilation (CCaV) or continuous chest compression superimposed with sustained inflation (CC + SI) during infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We hypothesized that CC + SI compared to CCaV would reduce time to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in infantile piglets with asphyxia-induced bradycardic cardiac arrest.

Most male pigs are surgically castrated to avoid puberty-derived boar taint and aggressiveness. However, this surgical intervention represents a welfare concern in swine production. Disrupting porcine is hypothesized to delay or abolish puberty by inducing variable hypogonadotropism and thus preventing the need for castration.

A 2-day-old female piglet was submitted with multiple congenital, nodular skin masses located on the head, neck, trunk and legs. Histopathological examination revealed the presence of nodular, cutaneous tumours with a biphasic growth pattern and comprising a population of undifferentiated, oval or slightly polygonal, frequently perivascularly located cells and a population of spindle-shaped, fibroblast-like cells arranged in bundles. Multifocally, tumour cells infiltrated subcutaneous adipose and muscular tissue.
