The present invention provides a vaccine which protects pigs from a virus and/or an infectious agent causing a porcine respiratory and reproductive disease, a method of protecting a pig from a disease caused by a virus and/or an infectious agent which causes a respiratory and reproductive disease, a method of producing a vaccine against a virus and/or an infectious agent causing a porcine reproductive and respiratory disease, and a biologically pure sample of a virus and/or infectious agent associated with a porcine respiratory and reproductive disease, particularly the Iowa strain of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), and an isolated polynucleotide which is at least 90% homologous with a polynucleotide obtained from the genome of a virus and/or infectious agent which causes a porcine respiratory and reproductive disease.

The present invention provides systems and methods for monitoring subjects, especially during sleep. Respiratory and sound data are recorded and coughs arousal are recognized as joint events in both of these signals having selected characteristics. Further, cough-arousal events during sleep are recognized when a likely cough occurs in association with a recognized EEG arousal. Cough arousal events are combined into a cough arousal index that reflects disease severity and sleep disruption due to cough. The methods of this invention are computer-implemented and can be provided as a program product including a computer readable medium. Measurements and indices provided by this invention can be used to monitor and to treat respiratory diseases.

An oximeter system includes a blood oxygen saturation detector for detecting blood oxygen saturation information of a subject, a body motion detector for detecting body motion information of the subject, a controller for causing the blood oxygen saturation detector to acquire the blood oxygen saturation information, and causing the body motion detector to acquire the body motion information at a predetermined sampling frequency concurrently and respectively sequentially, and a display unit for displaying data concerning the acquired blood oxygen saturation information and data concerning the acquired body motion information along a common time axis.

The invention provides a feeding plant essential oil additive. The prescription of the feeding plant essential oil additive comprises the following components by weight percent: 8.5%-12% of cinnamyl aldehyde, 2%-6.5% of thymol, 1.8%-3% of eugenol, 2%-3.5% of carvacrol, 18-30% of palm oil and 50%-60% of a carrier. The invention further provides a preparation method and application of the feeding plant essential oil additive. By reasonably proportioning different types of plant essential oils, the efficient pollution-free plant essential oil feed additive with pretty good food attraction effect is obtained, the incidence rates of diseases including diarrhea, respiratory disease complex and the like can be effectively reduced, the health level of an animal can be obviously improved, animal food intake is increased, and production efficiency is improved.

A method for altering the electromagnetic environment of respiratory tissues, cells, and molecules comprising establishing baseline thermal fluctuations in voltage and electrical impedance at a respiratory target pathway structure depending on a state of the respiratory tissue, configuring at least one waveform to have sufficient signal to noise ratio to modulate at least one of ion and ligand interactions whereby the at least one of ion and ligand interactions are detectable in the respiratory target pathway structure above the established baseline thermal fluctuations in voltage and electrical impedance, generating an electromagnetic signal from the configured at least one waveform; and coupling the electromagnetic signal to the respiratory target pathway structure using a coupling device.
