Background: As bacterial infections pose a major health risk to captive populations, disease prevention and management play a crucial role in the ex situ conservation of giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis). This study describes the case of a giraffe that developed septicemia after an umbilical cord infection caused by Escherichia coli. To our knowledge, pathological changes in diseased giraffes caused by E.

Unlabelled: Delayed cord clamping (DCC) is now the standard of care in singleton vigorous neonates. But consensus is lacking on the appropriate approach to placental transfusion in multifetal gestational births. In this study, we tried to determine the effect of cut umbilical cord milking (C-UCM) as compared to early cord clamping (ECC) on hematological and clinical hemodynamic parameters in preterm twin neonates of 30-37 weeks gestation.

Unlabelled: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of DCC (> 30 s) compared to immediate cord clamping (ICC) or umbilical cord milking (UCM) on early cardiac and cerebral hemodynamics, mortality, and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in very preterm infants. We searched Ovid Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL from inception to September 28, 2023, and included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing preterm infants < 32 weeks who received DCC to ICC or UCM. The results were obtained using the Mantel-Haenszel and pooled with a random-effects model.

In Québec, Canada, nonreplacement calves are generally sent at a young age to auction markets to be sold for veal or dairy beef production. Various clinical observations found during the calves' journey, either at an auction market or on arrival at a calf raiser farm, have been associated with increased risk of morbidity, such as dehydration or umbilical problems. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to quantify associations between calf raising management strategies at the dairy farm level and clinical observations at auction markets during sale.
