Successful medical management of extensive Fontan thrombosis with long-term follow-up.

Venous thrombosis in the Fontan circulation can be a devastating complication, and its management has traditionally been surgical. Here, we present two cases of extensive Fontan thrombosis that have both been successfully medically managed, with survival beyond two years.

Behavior of day-old turkey poults following routine treatments, with and without meloxicam administration, changes in a phased manner.

Painful husbandry treatments, e.g. infrared beak treatment (IRBT), de-snooding (DS), and hot blade toenail trimming (TT), are routinely performed on day-old commercial turkey poults without analgesia.

Outcomes of endoscopic management for upper tract urothelial carcinoma: A multi-center international cohort analysis.

Introduction: Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with significant morbidity, often requiring radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) as the standard of care. Endoscopic ablation has emerged as a kidney-sparing alternative, particularly for low-risk UTUC. Given the rarity of UTUC, generating high-quality evidence for treatment strategies remains challenging.

Reducing noise associated with restraint box operation can facilitate animal handling in cattle abattoirs.

Aims: To evaluate in a range of abattoirs in Australia, the effect of a fully nylon-lined, noise-reducing restraint box on animal handling practices during pre-slaughter handling with a view to improving animal welfare by facilitating the movement of animals through the race into restraint for stunning.

Methods: Data were collected from eight meat processors in Australia, with pre- and post-installation data available for four, and post-installation data available for all eight. Two separate analyses were conducted: one to compare pre- and post-installation data to evaluate the impact of the noise-reducing restraint box on animal handling practices, and another to investigate the variability between processors in the handling interventions required post-installation of the noise-reducing restraint box.
