The pig is a commonly used large animal model in experimental studies. Few non-invasive techniques exist however for the measurement of blood pressure in the porcine model. This study evaluates the novel use of the easily available neonatal blood pressure cuff for measuring blood pressure in the pig. Six Yorkshire pigs were used for the study. Blood pressure measurements obtained by the applica...

To test the association between neonatal blood pressure (BP) and salt taste response, 283 healthy hospitalized neonates were administered small drops (0.06 mL) of water and 0.1 molar (mol/L) and 0.3 mol/L NaCl solutions by means of cannulas through a nipple with a pressure transducer to record sucking responses. Neonatal and 1-month BPs were recorded by ultrasound. Mean number of sucks per burs...
