We describe a case of lumpy skin disease in an endangered banteng in Cambodia and the subsequent initiation of a vaccination campaign in domestic cattle to protect wild bovids from disease transmission at the wildlife-livestock interface. Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) was first detected in domestic cattle in Cambodia in June of 2021 and rapidly spread throughout the country.

Methods: In a nationwide cohort of Danish women from 1984 to 2013, incidence of adhesive bowel obstruction and 30 days mortality were presented as standardized rates.
Background: Adhesive bowel obstruction is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, but the magnitude of the risk is debated.
Method: In a national cohort of all Danish women with an abdominal operation (N = 665,423) between 1977 and 2013, the risk of adhesive bowel obstruction was assessed by Cox multiple regression. Covariates were the number of abdominal operations, the surgical methods, the anatomical site involved, and the calendar year.
