To evaluate the clinical response, safety, and tolerability of a single intraarticular injection anakinra in patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) knee.Patients OA knee were enrolled multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study randomized 2:1:2 to receive placebo, 50 mg, or 150 mg their knee. Patients evaluated for 12 weeks postinjection. The primary end point was change Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score from baseline week 4. Safety...
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships among birth weight, order, or litter size on growth performance, carcass quality, and eating quality ultimate pork product. Data were collected from 98 pig litters and, with addition recording weight farrowing piglet management according normal barn practices. In nursery during growout, pigs received feeding program for individual tattooing, marketed as per standard procedure. From 24 litters, selected because they had at least...
In a multicentre study to explore the effects of licofelone as disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug in comparison with naproxen patients knee (OA), using MRI and x-ray examination.Patients OA (n = 355) were randomised receive either (200 mg twice day) or (500 day). examinations performed at baseline, 6 months (MRI only), 12 24 months. was used assess quantitatively changes cartilage volume, (Lyon-Schuss) measure mean minimum joint space width (JSW) medial compartment. Questionnaires probing...
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a mixture of isomers acid, has many beneficial effects, including decreased tumor growth in animal cancer models. The cis-9, trans-11 isomer CLA (CLA9,11) can be formed the rumen as an intermediate biohydrogenation acid. Recent data, however, indicate that tissue desaturation trans-fatty acids is important source CLA9,11 milk. Our objective was to determine whether supplementing high-corn diet with soybean oil (SBO; acid) would increase concentrations ruminal...
Understanding how energy is utilized by the pig, and pig responds to changes in dietary concentration, essential information determining optimal concentration of under farm conditions, which are often highly diverse. The objective these experiments was determine DE achieved through graded diet composition, would affect performance carcass composition growing pigs. In Exp. 1, conducted a research facility, 300 pigs (31.1 +/- 2.6 kg) were assigned diets containing 3.09, 3.24, 3.34, 3.42, or...
Hepatocytes isolated from 10 Dorset wethers that were treated with excipient or 1.0 g/d of phlorizin for 72 h used to determine the effects increased glucose demand on utilization [1-14C]propionate and [1-14C] alanine oxidative metabolism gluconeogenesis. Control phlorizin-treated excreted 0 62.8 into urine, respectively. Phlorizin treatment tended increase conversion propionate CO2. A × substrate interaction indicated was more by than (285 vs 166% controls). did not affect estimated Ks...
Much of our understanding energy metabolism in the pig has been derived from studies which supply was controlled through regulated feed intake. In commercial situations, where ad libitum feeding is practiced, dietary concentration, but not daily intake, under producer control. This study evaluated interactive effects concentration and level (FL) on growth, body composition, nutrient deposition rates. Individually penned PIC barrows, with an initial BW 9.5 ± 1.0 kg, were allotted to 1 9...
Sphingomyelin is a phospholipid located in the outer leaflet of plasma membrane most cells and component milk fat globule membrane. its digestion products participate several antiproliferative pathways that may suppress oncogenesis. Although dairy are important sources sphingomyelin human diet, little known about factors influence concentrations or whether can be modified via nutrition cows. were determined from Holstein Jersey cows matched for parity stage lactation. was more concentrated...
The objectives of this experiment were 1) to determine the NE soybean oil (SBO) and choice white grease (CWG) fed growing finishing pigs, 2) evaluate effects inclusion rate SBO on by 3) if there is a difference in CWG between pigs. Forty-eight (initial BW: 22.13 ± 1.78 kg) 48 84.17 5.80 barrows used, they housed individually. Within each stage growth, pigs allotted 8 outcome groups 6 based BW. group, randomly 1 groups. Two at growth served as an initial slaughter group. Pigs remaining...
Objective To identify determinants of mental and physical health as a function disease state in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods A sample 129 SLE (mean age 42.01 years; SD 11.09) was recruited from 9 immunology/rheumatology clinics across Canada. Patients completed questionnaires assessing psychological distress, social support, coping, stress, health-related quality life. Physicians rated activity (using the revised Systemic Lupus Activity Measure; SLAM-R) damage...
Increasing the oleic acid (18:1 cis-9) content of milk fat might be desirable to meet consumer concerns about dietary healthfulness and for certain manufacturing applications. The extent which could enriched with is not known. intestinal supply polyunsaturated fatty acids decreases dry matter intake (DMI) in cows, but effects have been quantified. In a crossover design, 4 multiparous Holstein cows were abomasally infused increasing amounts (0, 250, 500, 750, or 1,000 g/d) free from...
Five hundred thirty-six finishing pigs were placed on experiment for an average of 26 d prior to slaughter, determine the effects 5 mg ractopamine hydrochloride (RAC) per kg diet growth performance, carcass composition and eating quality pork. Treatments included a control similar western Canadian commercial treatment containing RAC -1 with elevated amino acids, vitamins minerals. The started when animal weight was 86 kg; marketed at liveweight 118 kg. Two selected from each 32 pens in week...
The objectives of this experiment were 1) to determine the effect dietary soybean hulls (SBH) and wheat middlings (WM) on body composition, nutrient energy retention, NE diets ingredients fed growing or finishing pigs 2) if use in SBH WM more efficiently than pigs. Forty barrows (initial BW: 25.4 ± 0.7 kg) 40 84.8 0.9 randomly allotted 5 groups within each stage growth. Two at growth served as initial slaughter group. remaining assigned 3 treatments harvested conclusion experiment. basal...
Concerns relating to use of water resources by the livestock industry, combined with rising cost manure management, have resulted in greater interest identifying ways reduce drinking utilization pigs while maintaining animal well-being and achieving satisfactory growth performance. The objective this experiment was determine if increasing dietary CP or mineral concentrations increases intake excretion and, conversely, reducing content reduces excretion. Forty-eight barrows (34.3 +/- 4.6 kg...
Four experiments were conducted to determine the nutritional value of flaxseed meal [FSM; 133 g ether extract (EE) and 343 CP/kg DM] for swine. In Exp. 1, apparent fecal digestibility (AD) DM EE, DE NE contents determined in growing pigs (n = 32; initial BW, 70 +/- 3 kg) gestating sows 24; parities, 2 4). Diets contained 0, 100, 200, or 300 FSM/kg at expense wheat, barley, soybean meal. Fecal samples collected d after a 9-d adaptation. The AD EE 72.0 0.4% 67.4 4.7%, respectively, 68.0 0.5%...
