This study aimed to assess radiographic and tomographic cardiac parameters, including width length of the heart, ratio heart coelom blue-fronted Amazon parrots (Amazona aestiva) with varying body condition scores. Thirty-five captive birds were included in allocated into one three groups according their respective score: lean, ideal obese. No differences observed among regard measurements. Computed tomography enabled better identification structures cardiovascular system without interference...

In human neonates, when the umbilical cord is kept intact postpartum, blood continues to flow neonate, but this procedure might be difficult in dogs owing a shorter and several neonates litter.
