 I have read [hundreds of these  Floor-wax-AND-a-dessert-topping papers] , but this is wilder than most. The animal model for  stigma and mental disorders in syphilis is (wait for it) mice traumatised by forced swimming.  Briefy, the stigma and mental disorders animal model was established with the mouse forced swimming test. This performance was implemented on the basis of protocols, and it was permitted via the Animal Ethics Committee. Next, at 1 mg kg, 2 mg kg, and 5 mg kg concentration, this compound was injected for the treatment. The cerebrospinal fluid of the mice was harvested and the dopamine content was detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay detection kit. The authors could not remember **how many** mice they used, or **what strain**, or **where they acquired them from**, or what  protocols they used for the compulsory swimming. ,
