Analgesic efficacy of hydromorphone in American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) by Scott E. Henke, David B. Wester, Cord B. Eversole, Javier O. Huerta, Clayton D. Hilton, Kurt K. Sladky

“…The standard of veterinary medical care and welfare for captive reptiles requires managing pain and discomfort under conditions deemed painful in mammals. While analgesic efficacy and pharmacokinetic data for several reptile species are published, data with respect to analgesic efficacy in crocodilians are clearly lacking.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to determine the analgesic efficacy of hydromorphone in alligators.MethodsFemale American alligators (N = 9; 57 months of age) were exposed to mechanical noxious stimuli at multiple anatomic sites using von Frey filaments ranging in size from 1.65 to 6.65 grams-force, and their behavioral reactions recorded. …”

Cortical and subcortical activities during food rewards versus social interaction in rats by Florbela Rocha-Almeida, Ana R. Conde-Moro, Antonio Fernández-Ruiz, José M. Delgado-García, Agnès Gruart

“…Abstract Balancing food foraging with social interaction is crucial for survival and reproduction in many species of mammals. We wanted to investigate the reward preferences in adult male rats by allowing them to lever-press for both food and social rewards (interaction with another rat), while their performance and electrophysiological activities were recorded. …”

Non-invasive physical plasma improves conventional wound management of cut and bite wounds in wild European hedgehogs by Jürgen Eichler, Björn Rulik, Alexander Abazid, Matthias B. Stope

“…Based on the biomedical effects known to date, it can be assumed that NIPP can also be used for wound treatment in non-human mammals. In this prospective, non-randomized monocentric clinical trial, 43 European hedgehogs with cut and bite wounds were treated with conventional wound management (CWM: 21 patients) and compared with 22 patients with CWM plus NIPP treatment (CWM + NIPP). …”

Specyfika rozwoju osobniczego Homo sapiens na tle ssaków łożyskowych i Naczelnych by Sławomir Kozieł, Anna Siniarska

“…During ontogeny, there are many phenomena that significantly differentiate humans from other mammals, including Primates. The present considerations and analysis of regression applied for many species to illustrate allometric relations of developmental spurts of height and weight to final values of these parameters in adults, allow to compare processes of growth of Homo sapiens with other Primates and to submit the following results: In Homo sapiens, the maximal rate of growth in length and body mass exists at the prenatal period (during gestation), and after birth, it decelerates. …”
