Paraneoplastic chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare manifestation associated with small cell lung carcinoma and other malignancies. In this report, we present a challenging case involving a 60-year-old man with small cell lung carcinoma who developed symptoms of intestinal pseudo-obstruction, including abdominal distention, pain, and obstipation. Despite receiving extensive treatment with intravenous gamma globulin and glucocorticoids, the patient's symptoms did not improve, ultimately resulting in irreversible nervous system damage.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the neonatal health and development of foals born from mares with ultrasonographically assessed placental abnormalities (UPA) to those born from healthy mares in the same warmblood stud.
- Foals from UPA mares displayed shorter gestation lengths and lower birth weights, along with poorer colostrum quality, affecting their immunoglobulin G levels and leading to more frequent administration of foreign plasma compared to foals from healthy mares.
- Additionally, 8.1% of foals from UPA pregnancies exhibited maladjustment syndrome, whereas none in the control group did, indicating potential health risks associated with placental disease.
