Objective: To compare conventional gas ventilation (GV) and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) for weaning from total liquid ventilation (TLV).

Methods: Sixteen lambs were anesthetized. After 1 h of TLV with perflubron (PFOB), they were assigned to either GV or HFOV for 2 h. Oxygen requirements, electrical impedance tomography and videofluoroscopic sequences, and respiratory system compliance were recorded.

Results: The lambs under GV needed less oxygen at 20 min following TLV (40 [25, 45] and 83 [63, 98]%, p = 0.001 under GV and HFOV, respectively). During weaning, tidal volume distribution was increased in the nondependent regions in the GV group compared to baseline (p = 0.046). Furthermore, residual PFOB was observed in the most dependent region. No air was detected by fluoroscopy in that region at the end of expiration in the GV group.

Conclusion: GV offers a transient advantage over HFOV with regards to oxygenation for TLV weaning.

Effect of intramuscular treatment with different iron dextran dosages and non-inferiority study to gleptoferron.

Acta Vet Scand

January 2025

Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Grønnegårdsvej 2, 1870, Frederiksberg C, Denmark.

Background: Prevention of iron deficiency in suckling piglets by intramuscular injection of a standardized amount of iron dextran or gleptoferron in the first days of life can lead to over- or underdosage with respective health risks. Currently, combined iron products containing an active substance against coccidia are also used on farms. When using a combination product targeting two diseases, an adjustment of the necessary amount of iron to prevent anaemia in the frame of a farm-specific treatment protocol is not possible.

The transition period is a crucial stage in the reproductive cycle for dams and is linked closely with postpartum recovery, reproduction performance, and health. The confronting problem in the yak industry is that transition yaks under a conventional grazing feeding regime endure nutritional deficiency since this period is in late winter and early spring of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with the lack of grass on natural pasture. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of perinatal nutritional supplementation and early weaning on serum biochemistry, reproductive performance, and metabolomics in transition yaks.

Heat stress (HS) is one of the main factors associated with welfare concerns during animal transport. The use of infrared thermography (IRT) for digitally monitoring HS in weaned piglets during transportation in a semi-arid region was investigated in the present study. A total of 60 focal piglets (25 ± 2.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock supported by veno-arterial ECMO show high mortality rates, and this study examines the potential survival benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
  • Data from 1623 patients was analyzed, revealing that those who underwent PCI had lower in-hospital mortality rates compared to those who did not, along with better outcomes in terms of ECMO weaning success.
  • The study concludes that PCI may lower mortality and improve recovery among patients receiving ECMO for AMICS, without increasing the risk of complications related to ECMO.

Background: Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) is a global contagious respiratory disease of ruminants caused by Bovine Herpes virus-1 (BoHV-1). It causes substantial financial losses in the dairy industry worldwide and is considered one of the most important causative agents of abortion and reproductive problems in dairy cattle.

Aim: This study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of IBR and the related risk factors in the dairy population in Gharbia governorate, Egypt.
