Abstract In the first weeks of life, the gastrointestinal tract changes dramatically in structure and function, including a rapid expansion and maturation of the immune cell population. Successful intestinal development comes at a significant energy cost yet is essential to subsequent performance and health. Many of the developmental changes in intestinal and immune development are dependent on the abundant and diverse population of microbes (microbiota) residing at the mucosal surface and in the intestinal lumen. We are now beginning to understand that the nature of the first exposures in the first days to weeks of life have a long-term impact on physiological processes important to metabolic health, as well as immune programming that impacts response to pathogen challenge. In this presentation I will discuss our key findings on the significant impacts early life microbial disruption have on intestinal, pancreatic, and immune function of the piglet. I will also discuss the consequences of excessive hygiene on disease resilience as well as the ability to mount a successful immune response in response to vaccination. Understanding the ability of the early life microbiota to program subsequent health provides a significant opportunity to support healthy pig production as we move away from antibiotic use in livestock production.

Abstract. Background: There has been no systematic work on the short- or long-term impact of the installation of crisis phones on suicides from bridges. The present study addresses this issue. Method: Data refer to 219 suicides from 1954 through 2013 on the Skyway Bridge in St. Petersburg, Florida. Six crisis phones with signs were installed in July 1999. Results: In the first decade after installation, the phones were used by 27 suicidal persons and credited with preventing 26 or 2.6 suicides a year. However, the net suicide count increased from 48 in the 13 years before installation of phones to 106 the following 13 years or by 4.5 additional suicides/year (t =3.512, p < .001). Conclusion: Although the phones prevented some suicides, there was a net increase after installation. The findings are interpreted with reference to suggestion/contagion effects including the emergence of a controversial bridge suicide blog.
