Supplementing narasin or monensin to control coccidiosis in naturally infected calves.

This experiment compared narasin and monensin as anticoccidials for calves naturally infected with spp. Twenty-four weaned, non-castrated male calves ( ×  cross) were assigned to this experiment (days -8 to 42). All calves were infected by spp.

An updated meta-analysis of the anti-methanogenic effects of monensin in beef cattle.

Meta-analyses were performed to quantitatively summarize the effects of monensin on in vivo methane (CH4) production in beef cattle, and differentiate these outcomes according to dietary management, dose of monensin, and length of monensin supplementation. Data from 11 manuscripts describing 20 individual studies were used, and CH4 was converted to g/d when required. Studies were classified according to dose of monensin (mg/kg of diet dry matter), length of monensin supplementation prior to the last CH4 measurement, feeding management (ad libitum vs.

Pediatric Traumatic Lumbar Hernias and Associated Injuries: A Case Series.

Objective: Traumatic lumbar hernias are a rare entity mostly seen with high-impact, blunt abdominal trauma. This injury occurs when there is disruption of the posterior musculature along with bony structures, allowing for herniation of abdominal contents. There are minimal cases of this entity reported in adults, but even fewer in the pediatric population.

Despite Recovery from Necrotizing Enterocolitis Infants Retain a Hyperinflammatory Response to Injury.

Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the leading gastrointestinal cause of death of premature neonates. NEC is associated with prematurity, a hyperinflammatory response, and dysregulation of intestinal barrier function. We hypothesize that patients with NEC will have, and continue to have after recovery, an increased hyperinflammatory intestinal response compared to those patients without NEC.
