Experimental porcine models of retinal ischemia
… angiography and conventional angiography. The porcine model of pressure-induced retinal ischaemia resulted in multifocal ERG changes typical of retinal ischaemia although there may be a confounding problem of pressure-induced damage. Multifocal ERG may be a useful tool to evaluate retinal …

LUCAS - Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System
… was to study cardiac arrest using different porcine models of ventricular fibrillation. Four hypotheses were formulated: 1. LUCAS-CPR is superior to manual CPR regarding coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). 2. Hypothermic LUCAS-CPR is superior to …

Evaluating Immunotoxicity of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds
… in cell lines and vaginal inflammation in porcine models; but have not been evaluated for developmental immunotoxicity. We assessed immunotoxicity in-vitro with J774A.1 murine macrophage cell line by analyzing cytokine production and phagocytosis; and evaluated developmental immunotoxicity …

Left Atrial Posterior Wall Isolation in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation
… may reduce risks and experiments on porcine models described in this thesis demonstrate how this is possible and provide a future avenue for research and development. A technique is also described for checking the LAPWI lesion set via the use of an oesophageal pacing electrode. …

Development and evaluation summaries of a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) surgical simulator
… methods, such as the use of cadavers, and porcine models (pigs) fall short of providing the realistic, real-time feedback necessary for mastering complex procedures. Virtual reality (VR) simulators with haptics offer a significant improvement, delivering immersive and interactive …

Characterisation of Host- Parasite- Microbiota Interactions that Drive Hatching in Trichuris Species
… Trichuriasis has been studied in murine and porcine models of infection, with Trichuris muris and Trichuris suis respectively; revealing the role of the host intestinal microbiota in inducing hatching of whipworm eggs. However, the mechanisms behind the interactions between Trichuris species …

Engineering scaffold and soluble cues for cell-instruction
… of granulocyte colony stimulating factor in porcine models. Although the hydrogel system was only tested with bovine serum albumin and granulocyte colony stimulating factor, we expect this customizable and user-friendly platform to be readily applied to other cytokines. The separate …

Mechanisms of Improved Renal Function Following Normothermic Ex-vivo Kidney Perfusion Preservation of Grafts Severely Damaged by Prolonged Warm Ischemia
Normothermic ex-vivo kidney perfusion (NEVKP) is an emerging technique for renal graft preservation. We investigated whether NEVKP could improve early function of severely injured donation-after-cardiovascular death (DCD) grafts to reduce the incidence of delayed graft function (DGF). First, we …
