“…In general they leave the nest in the order of hatching one by one at intervals of about one day and fledging period is longer the bigger the brood [ 31 ]. Fledglings reach independence 5–9 weeks after fledging [ 36 , 37 , 46 , 47 ]. Wing length of nestlings continues to grow with age from hatching until the period after fledging (owlets fledge with incomplete feather growth), while body weight increases only to 3–4 weeks after hatching, and thereafter is essentially stable or may even decline [ 31 , 48 ].…”

In altricial birds, the nestling period is an important part of the breeding phase because the juveniles may spend quite a long time in the nest, with associated high energy costs for the parents. The length of the nestling period can be variable and its duration may be influenced by both biotic and abiotic factors; however, studies of this have mostly been undertaken on passerine birds. We studied individual duration of nestling period of 98 Tengmalm’s owl chicks (Aegolius funereus) at 27 nests during five breeding seasons using a camera and chip system and radio-telemetry. We found the nestlings stayed in the nest box for 27 – 38 days from hatching (mean ± SD, 32.4 ± 2.2 days). The individual duration of nestling period was negatively related to wing length, but no formally significant effect was found for body weight, sex, prey availability and/or weather conditions. The fledging sequence of individual nestlings was primarily related to hatching order; no relationship with wing length and/or other factors was found in this case. We suggest the length of wing is the most important measure of body condition and individual quality in Tengmalm’s owl young determining the duration of the nestling period. Other differences from passerines (e.g., the lack of effect of weather or prey availability on nestling period) are considered likely to be due to different life-history traits, in particular different food habits and nesting sites and greater risk of nest predation among passerines.

“…Our study is the first TNM iv vivo animal test for post-resection abdominal defect management in the EU. So far, only a knitted TNM implant has been successfully applied for plasty of post-resection defects of the pericardium, diaphragm and chest wall in a dog model [9]; some doubtful clinical studies have been reported in Russian periodicals [32][33][34].…”

“…In some cases after ingrowth and maturation of the connective tissue, they become rigid, and their plasticization and changes in size disturb the biomechanics of anatomical structures. Moreover, synthetic meshes are very liable to the persistence of infection; in the case of purulent post-operative complications they maintain inflammation and complicate clearance of the focus of suppurative inflammation [9]. Also, in some cases, an implant can be rejected even without a prominent inflammatory reaction [10].…”

Purpose. Synthetic meshes are now widely used for a repair of various tissue defects. Polypropylene meshes (PPMs), the type most frequently used for repair of abdominal wall defects, have some disadvantages, therefore the development of new mesh materials for reconstructive surgery is an important topic. A TiNibased alloy superelastic mesh implant has been compared with a PPM in the Wistar rat model. Experimental. A midline resection abdominal wall defect (2 cm×3 cm) was treated with a mesh implant (2.5 cm×3.5 cm). Three groups of 20 animals were assessed: (1) a TiNi-based alloy mesh (TNM) group with the defect managed by a TiNi-based wire woven implant; (2) a PPM group with the defect repaired by Optomesh®; and (3) a no-mesh (NM) group treated without the use of any prosthetic material for systemic reaction to implant control. Evaluation of both mesh implantations was carried out on days 14, 28, 56 and 90 after surgery. The following data were compared: general condition of the animals, macroscopic evaluation of the implant area and microscopic evaluation of the tissue surrounding the mesh with the use of scanning electron and light optical microscopy. Results. All the animals from NM group developed hernias. The PPM group showed satisfactory results, although some complications like implant dislocation (6/20) and hernia recurrence (5/20) were noted. In the TNM group neither shrinkage nor implant dislocation were observed. Compared with the PPM group, the TNM group was characterized by no inflammation reaction and better integration with tissues. Conclusions. Suppression of inflammation response together with a more physiological wall remodeling process than with PPM makes TNM an attractive concept for abdominal wall defect reconstruction. Since there was neither shrinkage nor dislocation of the TNM itself it may be suitable for intraperitoneal management. The essence of enhanced biocompatibility is due to stress-strain mechanical behavior of TNM and its surface oxycarbonitride layer, which facilitate its incorporation. Summarizing, TNM was found to be a very promising material for the repair of abdominal wall defects in clinical practice. Ideally TNM would be applied in circumstances when there are indications for the management of large hernias by PPM.
