Biosecurity Principles for Reproductive Diseases of Cattle.

This article addresses infectious reproductive diseases in cattle, which can significantly impact production and profit on cattle operations. It highlights vital biosecurity practices aimed at minimizing the introduction of reproductive pathogens into breeding herds, including the importance of maintaining records, implementing a defined breeding season, culling nonproductive animals, quarantining and testing imported livestock, and the use of vaccines to maximize herd immunity. The article focuses on economically important reproductive pathogens of cattle from a biosecurity standpoint, focusing on mitigating the introduction and impact of reproductive diseases in cattle.

Biosecurity for Reproductive Disease Prevention in Sheep and Goats.

Infectious reproductive diseases pose a significant economic threat to sheep and goat operations. Maintaining records, a defined breeding season, and recognizing deviations from normal are crucial to herd health programs. Signs of suboptimal fertility, such as repeat breeding, unexpected open females, and abnormal gestational distributions, warrant further investigation.

Neurodevelopmental impairment in children with Robin sequence: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To estimate the global prevalence of neurodevelopmental impairment in children with Robin sequence (RS) at one year or more of age.

Study Design: Electronic databases such as PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, APA PsycInfo, Emcare, MedNAR and Cochrane library were searched systematically from inception to 31st May 2024. Studies reporting on the neurodevelopmental (global, cognitive, or motor) outcomes in children with RS were included.

The effectiveness of digital physical activity interventions in older adults: a systematic umbrella review and meta-meta-analysis.

Background: Physical activity is important for healthy ageing, however most older adults are inactive. Numerous reviews with a range of inclusion criteria have been conducted on digital interventions to promote physical activity in older adults, and a synthesis of these is needed. Therefore, the objective of this study is to conduct an umbrella review and meta-meta-analysis on the effectiveness of digital interventions to promote physical activity in older adults.

Sleep Health and Falls Risk for Older Adults Living in Residential Aged Care and in Community Dwelling Settings: A Longitudinal Observation Study.

This study explored measures of subjective and objective sleep health and the association with fall occurrence and falls risk for older adults. A longitudinal observational study was conducted with participants in residential aged care (n = 36) and community dwelling (n = 35) settings. At baseline, objective sleep data involved wearing wrist worn accelerometers and measuring falls risk by walking using the Quantitative timed up and go (QTUG) of a simple, cognitive, and motor task.
