Effect of intramuscular treatment with different iron dextran dosages and non-inferiority study to gleptoferron.

Background: Prevention of iron deficiency in suckling piglets by intramuscular injection of a standardized amount of iron dextran or gleptoferron in the first days of life can lead to over- or underdosage with respective health risks. Currently, combined iron products containing an active substance against coccidia are also used on farms. When using a combination product targeting two diseases, an adjustment of the necessary amount of iron to prevent anaemia in the frame of a farm-specific treatment protocol is not possible.

Does lifting female piglets by one hind leg increase the risk of umbilical and hind leg lesions?

Background: Umbilical lesions in pigs have a negative impact on animal welfare and productivity. It has been suggested that lifting young piglets by one hind leg may be a risk factor for developing omphalitis and umbilical hernia. However, the hypothesis that lifting piglets by one hind leg should stretch the umbilical wall and impede the healing of the umbilicus has not yet been investigated.

The Western Denmark Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Registry: A Review and Validation Study.

Purpose: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) procedures from single photon emission computed tomography and positron emission tomography imaging have been registered in the Western Denmark Heart Registry (WDHR) since 2017 as a sub-registry (WDHR-MPI). The aim was to review the content, quality, and research potential of the WDHR-MPI and assess the completeness and validity of its key variables.

Patients And Methods: Using the Danish National Patient Registry (DNPR) as a reference, we calculated the completeness of procedure registration as the proportion of procedures registered in the WDHR-MPI from 2017 to 2021.

Genomic analyses of Streptococcus uberis reveal high diversity but few antibiotic resistance genes.

This study aimed to investigate the diversity of milk isolates of Streptococcus uberis from Swedish dairy cows with mastitis, focusing on antibiotic resistance and virulence genes. We analyzed 115 S. uberis isolates using whole genome sequencing revealing a high level of diversity.

Valence tautomerism, non-innocence, and emergent magnetic phenomena in lanthanide-organic tessellations.

Coordination networks based on lanthanide ions entangle collective magnetic phenomena, otherwise only observed in inorganic 4f materials, and the tunable spatial and electronic structure engineering intrinsic to coordination chemistry. In this review, we discuss the use of 2D-structure-directing linear {LnI} nodes to direct the formation of polymeric coordination networks. The equatorial coordination plasticity of {LnI} results in broad structural diversity, including previously unobtainable tessellations containing motifs observed in quasicrystalline tilings.
