A tool was developed to aid in ruminal insertion of abomasal infusion lines into dairy cows. The tool consisted of 2 pieces cut from polyvinyl chloride pipe. The first piece of pipe, the insertion tool, contained a groove that held the flexible plastic flange that is on the end of the infusion line. The insertion tool containing the flange was inserted into the ruminal cannula, through the sulc...

Rotation correction is a part of alignment and levelling phase orthodontic treatment. Rotations, if left untreated, could cause functional, aesthetic periodontal problems. There are various methods indicated to correct tooth rotations. This case report describes one such method for severely rotated palatally displaced lateral incisor.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate rumen transfaunation after surgical correction of left-sided displacement of the abomasum (LDA) in cows. DESIGN Prospective clinical trial. ANIMALS 20 multiparous cows with LDA. PROCEDURES Cows with LDA were treated surgically (day 0). On days 0 (immediately after surgery) and 1, 10 cows each received 10 L of rumen fluid (transfaunated group) or 10 L of water (contro...

The objective of this observational cohort study was to characterize the pattern rumination time (RT), physical activity (PA), and lying (LT) monitored by an automated health monitoring system, based on ear-attached sensor, immediately before, during, after clinical diagnosis (CD) metabolic-digestive disorders. Sensor data were collected from 820 lactating Holstein cows daily calving up 21 DIM ...

A 74-year-old woman was incidentally found to have a left breast mass. The mass could not be adequately compressed to be visualized on mammography. Ultrasonography showed a heavily-calcified rounded mass in the left axillary tail of the left breast. Chest radiograph confirmed that the mass was a migrated humeral head. Remotely-displaced fracture-dislocations of the humeral head are very rare an...

Ruminal and abomasal cannulated mature wethers were fed 800 g daily of low quality bermudagrass (49 days of age, containing 8.6% crude protein) and used in a 4 x 4 latin square experiment to study the effects of different protein supplements on the daily quantity of protein and amino acids reaching the abomasum and on rumen microbial protein synthesis. Treatments were as follows: (1) control (l...

      As host to some of the world’s biggest emergencies and protracted crises, the Eastern Mediterranean Region carries the largest burden of displaced populations globally. Out of 58 million displaced persons worldwide, almost 30 million (52%) come from the Region. Syria is currently the world’s biggest producer of refugees and internally displaced persons, with more than 40% of the populatio...

Serum pepsinogen activity was determined in the blood serum of 126 clinically healthy cows by the method of Paynter. After slaughter the cows studied were classified into three groups according to established macroscopic changes to the mucous membrane of the abomasum: a group without changes, a group with ulcers and a group with other changes. The prevalence of the appearance of abomasal ulcers...
