A Distress Index value was calculated for the threshold conditions. The optimum detection threshold (highest Youden’s index) was found at T s ≤ 30.5°C at 24 h (90% specific, 84% sensitive). This threshold condition reduced animal suffering by 41% while providing an accurate survival rate estimate.
1 wrz 2017 · We injected 154 C57BL/6J mice with CS (0.9-1.8 mg/g) and periodically monitored Ts at the xiphoid process over 5 days. We used, as predictors, combinations of temperature thresholds (29-31°C) and...

4 paź 2024 · The xiphoid process, located at the end of the dog’s sternum, is a cartilaginous structure crucial for respiratory function and skeletal support. It plays a vital role in forming the rib cage, protecting the heart and lungs, and facilitating diaphragm movement.
22 sie 2024 · The xiphoid process (XP) is the smallest and most variable sternal element in the epigastrium. It can be thin, broad, bent, bifid or trifid, pointed or perforated (foramen). It can be misdiagnosed as an epigastric mass if it is elongated and curved forwards.
26 mar 2023 · It is usually described as a combination of symptoms, including diffuse epigastric pain due to inflammation of the xiphoid process. Patients also present with discomfort and pain in various body regions, the upper abdominal region, the chest, and the xiphisternal joint.
The xyphoid process is the most caudal sternebra. It is continued caudally by the xyphoid cartilage (well developed in ruminants). Xyphoid process and its cartilage project between the ventral parts of the costal arches and serve for attachement of abdominal wall and linea alba.
