Proper management of cattle reproduction has a major impact on the efficiency and profitability of dairy production. Ultrasound examination and transrectal palpation or the pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (PAG) test are currently the most commonly used methods for pregnancy diagnosis. However, alternative methods to those mentioned above are constantly being sought in order to minimise stress during the examination, the cost of veterinary services and to reduce the rate of errors in pregnancy diagnosis.

BACKGROUND Second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block is a frequently encountered conduction abnormality on surface electrocardiogram (ECG). However, it does not always imply a block at the AV nodal level. In rare cases, this block can occur below the bundle of His, within the infra-Hisian region of the His-Purkinje system.

Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are known for their benefits in conditions like cardiovascular diseases in type 2 diabetes and obesity. They also show promise for aging-related conditions with minimal side effects. However, their impact on cardiovascular risk is still debated.

Background: Patients who have experienced a cryptogenic stroke (CS) may benefit from extended monitoring and possible earlier detection of atrial fibrillation (AF), allowing for the timely initiation of appropriate pharmacotherapy.

Objective: This economic study aimed to evaluate the clinical and cost outcomes of using mid-term cardiac monitors (referred to as "ePatch") versus ILR-only in post-CS patients in the UK, Netherlands (NL) and Sweden.

Methods: An existing cost-minimization model was modified to fit healthcare settings in the UK, Netherlands and Sweden.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon but important cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), particularly in postpartum women without traditional cardiac risk factors. Our case involves a 29-year-old postpartum woman who presented with severe substernal chest pain eight days after an emergency cesarean section for pregnancy-associated hypertension. Electrocardiography showed ST elevation in the inferior and posterior leads, and coronary angiography revealed a spontaneous dissection in the left circumflex artery (LCx) with an intramural hematoma, alongside a dissection of the right coronary artery (RCA) extending from the ostium to the mid-vessel.
