Aims: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a potential complication of foot and ankle surgery. There is a lack of agreement on contributing risk factors and chemical prophylaxis requirements. The primary outcome of this study was to analyze the 90-day incidence of symptomatic VTE and VTE-related mortality in patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery and Achilles tendon (TA) rupture.

Ruminants produce one-third of the anthropogenic methane ( ) emissions worldwide, and 47% of the CH emissions result from ruminants under grazing conditions. However, there is limited information regarding the appropriate number of visits to accurately determine enteric CH emissions using the automated head-chamber system () from growing beef cattle under intensive grazing conditions. Data from one experiment were analyzed to determine the number of visits to assess gas flux (CH, carbon dioxide [ ], and oxygen [ ]) from Angus-crossbreed steers grazing in a pivot-irrigated improved pasture.

  • * Results showed no significant effects of either treatment on body weight, average daily gain, or methane emissions, though some tendencies were noted regarding dietary intake and blood urea nitrogen levels.
