Absolutely relative chicks: individual strategy preferences in numerical discrimination in Gallus gallus
No full textWhen trained to discriminate between two numerosities, animals could employ either (a) an absolute or (b) a relative discrimination strategy. In absolute discrimination, a specific numerosity (e.g., 10) is chosen against other numerosities. Relative discrimination consists in selecting the higher (or the lower) numerosity in any pair. Humans and fish have been shown to preferentially adopt a relative strategy, while honeybees apply an absolute strategy. This study aims to identify the strategy (absolute vs. relative) 3-day-old chicks (Gallus gallus) spontaneously adopt. During rearing, 124 chicks were exposed to a numerical comparison (10 vs. 20) and learned that one numerosity (10) was associated with food (Sp). During testing, which consisted of a single 6-minute unrewarded trial, each chick was presented with Sp (10; absolute strategy) alongside an unfamiliar numerosity consistent with the relative strategy ( 5, the smaller one out of 5 vs. 10). We hypothesized that chicks would spend more time near the numerosity corresponding to their preferred strategy. Chicks did not show a significant preference for either strategy on a group level, regardless of whether the higher (Exp. 1 and 2) or the lower numerosity (Exp. 3) had been reinforced during rearing. Interestingly, chicks exhibited significant individual preferences for one or the other strategy that cannot be explained by the novelty of the stimuli (Exp. 4) or by the use of physical variables (Exp. 2). These findings suggest either that diversity of numerical discrimination strategies was evolutionary favorable in domestic chickens’ natural environments, or that, at this early stage of ontogeny, young chicks’ strategies are still highly variable and flexible

OGTT GH profile is predictive of a higher risk of glucose metabolism alterations in acromegaly treated with pasireotide
No full textContext: A paradoxical GH increase after oral glucose load (GH-Par) characterizes about one-third of acromegaly patients and is associated with a better response to first-generation somatostatin receptor ligands (fg-SRLs). Pasireotide (PAS) is usually considered as a second-/third-line treatment.
Objective and outcome: To test the predictive role of GH-Par (GH increase ≥120% over basal levels) in PAS response and in the development of adverse events.
Design, setting and patients: Multi-center Italian retrospective cohort of 78 patients treated for at least 3 months with PAS.
Results: IGF-1 levels were 1.64 times the upper limit of normality (ULN) in patients with large (mean 21mm) and invasive (77%) adenomas after fg-SRL treatment failure. PAS was effective in 66 patients after mean 37 months: ≥20% or ≥50% IGF-1 ULN reduction was observed in 86% and 59% of cases, respectively. Of 59 patients with available OGTTs, 13 exhibited GH-Par (22%): IGF-1 levels before PAS were lower (326 vs 440 µg/L, p=0.008) and ULN reduction before PAS was higher (-54% vs -37%, p=0.036) in GH-Par than those without. PAS duration (27.6 vs 39.3 months), dose (48 vs 49 mg/monthly), and efficacy in reducing IGF-1 (-32% vs -42% IGF-1 ULN) were similar in both GH-Par and GH-NPar groups (P= NS). PAS was discontinued in 11 patients due to new-onset or worsening of glucose metabolism alterations, whose incidence was higher in GH-Par vs GH-NPar groups (77% vs 37%, p=0.011).
Conclusions: The GH-Par does not predict the response to PAS in acromegaly but can predict new-onset PAS-induced glucose metabolism alterations
