Advances in Swine in Biomedical Research

Contains papers from the October 1995 symposium, in sections on general aspects, transgenics, and immunology and infectious diseases. Topics include ultrastructure of the liver in piglets fed dietary oils, artificial surfactant as a vehicle for endotracheal epinephrine in pediatric porcine cardiopul
