Ruminal microbes catabolise feed carbohydrates mainly into SCFA, methane (CH), and carbon dioxide (CO), with predictable relationships between fermentation end products and net microbial increase. We used a closed batch culture system, incubating grass and maize silages, and measured total gas production at 8 and 24 h, as well as the truly degraded substrate, the net production of SCFA, CH, and microbial biomass at 24 h, and investigated the impact of silage type and inoculum microbial mass on fermentation direction. Net microbial yield was negatively correlated with total gas at 8 h (P < 0•001), but not at 24 h (P = 0•052), and negatively correlated with CH production (P < 0•001).

A bicornuate uterus is a rare congenital uterine anomaly that occurs due to a defect in the fusion of Müllerian ducts. It is associated with severe maternal and fetal complications, such as uterine rupture, vascular-related pathologies, preterm labor and birth, recurrent early or late loss of pregnancy, and fetal growth restriction.

A 78-year-old elderly male who was on treatment for trigeminal neuralgia and hypertension was brought to the emergency with altered sensorium. His vital parameters were within normal limits; however, the arterial blood gas analysis showed severe hyponatremia. He was admitted to the ward, where further workup was carried out and hyponatremia correction started.
