Postpartum bleeding in women with inherited bleeding disorders: a matched cohort study.

: Women with inherited bleeding disorders (IBDs) are reported to have higher rates of primary and secondary postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), even with optimal haemostatic management. We evaluated whether women with IBD have higher odds of PPH compared with those without, when controlled for mode of delivery with a control group of women without IBDs. The obstetric experiences and outcomes of all women with IBD delivering at a tertiary centre between 2008 and 2017, were compared with matched controls (1 : 1).

Effect of dietary inclusion of spray-dried porcine plasma on performance, some physiological and immunological response of broiler chickens challenged with Salmonella sofia.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) in broiler chickens under Salmonella sofia disease challenge. The experiment comprised five starter diets: positive control (no supplement), diet supplemented with in-feed antibiotics (IFA; salinomycin 0.05% + zinc bacitracin 0.

Delivery routes for probiotics: Effects on broiler performance, intestinal morphology and gut microflora.

Four delivery routes, via, feed, water, litter and oral gavage, were examined for their efficacy in delivering a novel probiotic of poultry origin, , to broilers. Seven treatments of 6 replicates each were allocated using 336 one-day-old Cobb broiler chicks. The treatments consisted of a basal diet with the probiotic candidate, , added to the feed, and three treatments with added to the drinking water, sprayed on the litter, or gavaged orally.

Use of in broilers challenged with .

The effects of on gut microflora, bird performance and intestinal development were assessed using 288 one-day-old Cobb broilers challenged with (. ). The experiment was a 3 × 2 factorial design which consisted of three treatments, a negative control (NC) with no additives, a positive control (PC) containing antimicrobials (zinc-bacitracin, 50 mg/kg) and a probiotic group (Pro), and with the two factors being unchallenged or challenged with .
