Oxytocin treatment immediately after calving does not reduce the incidence of retained fetal membranes or improve reproductive performance in crossbred Zebu cows.

The objective was to determine the effect of oxytocin treatments after calving on the incidence of RFM and reproductive performance in dual purpose cows under tropical conditions. Five hundred thirty six pluriparous, crossbred Zebu cows were randomly assigned to two groups: Oxy (n = 280): cows were given 30 IU of oxytocin im immediately after normal unassisted calving, and again 6 h later; C (n = 256): control. Expulsion of fetal membranes was evaluated 24 h after delivery.

Clinical results using bioabsorbable staple-line reinforcement for circular stapler in colorectal surgery: a multicenter study.

Introduction: Anastomotic leakage is a serious postoperative complication of open and laparoscopic colorectal surgery, very often associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Despite proper patient selection and surgical technique, anastomotic leakage cannot be avoided.
