Article Synopsis
  • Newborn dairy calves struggle with cold stress when transitioning from the womb to colder temperatures, making it vital to understand their temperature preferences in winter conditions.
  • The study evaluated the preferred inside hutch temperature of calves by allowing them to choose among 4 hutches with varying heat lamp configurations, alongside observing their lying behavior over two phases.
  • Results showed that calves spent 90% of their time inside the hutches with no strong temperature preference, but indicated a need for shelter in winter, suggesting that environmental conditions like bedding and milk supply play a role in their comfort.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the treatment of choice for coronary artery disease. The traditional method of performing CABG via a full sternotomy has its drawbacks, including increased postoperative morbidity, a higher incidence of complications, and extended hospitalizations. Although minimally invasive and robotic-assisted technology offer promising alternatives, they have not gained wide acceptance, largely because of the limited amount of literature supporting hybrid and robotic-assisted CABG.

Ketogenic diet therapy (KDT) is well established for the treatment of early epileptic encephalopathies and specific aetiologies; however, the impact on growth in infancy remains controversial. Our aim was to examine the influence of early KDT on growth velocity and height percentiles completing two tasks. First, we systematically reviewed the literature on growth in infants younger than 12 months.

The first robotic cardiac operation was performed more than two decades ago. This paper describes the distinct steps and components necessary for teaching robotic-assisted minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (R-MIDCAB). It also provides a general overview of the surgical robotic setup and ways to troubleshoot potential complications.

Unlabelled: We report a hybrid procedure of robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting and transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve implantation for left main disease and prosthetic aortic valve stenosis. Robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting using a left internal mammary artery graft was preferred to percutaneous coronary intervention because of the complex anatomy of the coronary lesion and concerns about dual antiplatelet therapy tolerance. This was followed by a valve-in-valve procedure five days later, allowing the patient to be discharged the next day.
