Home teaching of nocturnal nasogastric feeding.

Nocturnal nasogastric feeding (NGF) supplementation is an effective means of supplying calories to children with chronic diseases which may impair caloric and nutritional intake. Herein, we describe our experience with 18 patients who were taught NGF. They were divided into two groups: one group was instructed in the hospital which is the typical situation, whereas the second group was instructed at home. No complications were associated with NGF taught either at home or in the hospital. Our experience, therefore, indicates that nocturnal NGF can be successfully taught at home.

A highly fatal vascular disease of broiler breeder chickens.

A broiler breeder operation experienced a sudden outbreak of high mortality in nine different houses of breeders at eight different locations. In the first house to be affected, the losses were mainly in the females, but later flocks had losses up to 6.4%, mainly in the males. Affected chickens ranged in age from 7 to 22.5 weeks. Multifocal areas of necrosis and vasculitis were found in skin, muscle, and internal organs. No involvement of the brain was identified, but many of the birds had uveitis. The outbreak lasted 3 weeks and ended without treatment. Neither infectious agents nor mycotoxins were identified.
