Bilothorax following peritoneal cytoreductive surgery for recurrent ovarian cancer.

Bilothorax is a rare and under-recognized complication of hepatobiliary interventions, especially cytoreductive surgeries and is associated with increased length of hospitalization, morbidity and mortality. There are ˂100 reported cases in the literature, and due to its rarity, no standardized diagnostic tests or treatment guidelines are currently available. We present a 58-year-old otherwise healthy woman with a history of recurrent ovarian cancer who underwent cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with curative intent.

Changes in carriage and serotype diversity of Streptococcus pneumoniae and other respiratory pathobionts in the UK between pre-PCV13 (2006-10), early-PCV13 (2010-12) and late-PCV13 (2012-23) periods.

Background: The ongoing burden of mortality and morbidity associated with infections requires that monitoring of carriage epidemiology continues. Here, we present data from the annual, cross-sectional surveillance study in Southampton UK on serotype epidemiology and diversity, as well as carriage of other frequent colonisers of the respiratory tract in over 7000 children over a period of seventeen years (2006–2023).

Methods: Children were recruited from two sites: Site 1 - Southampton General Hospital, administered by University Hospital Southampton (UHS) NHS Foundation Trust and Site 2– a collection of community health care facilities within the Solent NHS Trust region.

A Comprehensive Review: Bovine Respiratory Disease, Current Insights into Epidemiology, Diagnostic Challenges, and Vaccination.

The aim of this comprehensive review is to synthesize current knowledge on bovine respiratory disease (BRD), enhance diagnostic strategies, and support effective prevention and management practises. BRD remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in cattle, driven by a complex interplay of viral and bacterial pathogens, host factors, environmental stressors, and management conditions. Its prevalence (2.

Estimation of dietary metabolizable energy content in dairy cattle using the measured dietary content of digestible nutrients: A meta-analysis.

An accurate estimation of metabolizable energy (ME) content is critical for optimizing dairy cattle nutrition and improving feed efficiency. This meta-analysis used data from studies conducted in Wageningen (the Netherlands) using Holstein cows and in Nebraska using Jersey cows to refine predictive models of dietary ME content (kJ/kg DM) based on total-tract digestible nutrients. In the Wageningen studies (except for one study), apparent total-tract digestibility of nutrients was estimated using chromium oxide as an external marker included in the concentrate.
