OverviewAI-generated summary
R.F. Wideman's research has focused on poultry health, specifically investigating conditions such as pulmonary arterial hypertension (ascites syndrome) and bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis in broilers. Investigations have included the effects of dietary interventions, such as supplemental L-arginine, on mitigating pulmonary hypertension. Additionally, studies have evaluated methods for measuring stress in broiler chickens and examined the resistance of broiler progeny to ascites when breeders are selected through chronic unilateral pulmonary artery occlusion. Work has also explored cardio-pulmonary function during acute unilateral occlusion of the pulmonary artery in broilers fed diets with varying levels of arginine-HCl.
Wideman has collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Sami Dridi, Alison Ramser, Elizabeth S. Greene, and Shawna Weimer, on shared publications. With a career spanning multiple decades, Wideman has authored or co-authored 159 publications, accumulating 4,447 citations and an h-index of 37. The researcher remains active, with the most recent publication in 2026.
