Due to their size and anatomy, cattle are not very good candidates for general anaesthesia meaning that many procedures performed use local techniques. Most surgeries performed on these patients can be done standing with a small amount of sedation and regional and local nerve blocks. Local techniques are also used in cattle for procedures such as castration and dehorning. General anaesthesia is rarely carried out in these species.

"Bacterial predators are a vital selective force in bacterial communities. Predation releases nutrients that power biogeochemical cycling. Bacterial predators are typically classified as “obligate” predators, which MUST feed on bacteria to survive, and “facultative” predators, which can subsist on a non-bacteria diet. The discovery of a new group of bacterial predators, however, proposes a revision to this classification system. These are Bradymonabacteria. Analyses of their feeding behavior and genetic makeup revealed that Bradymonabacteria adopt living strategies between those of obligate and facultative predators. Like obligate predators, for example, they possess multiple metabolic deficiencies that are shored up only by predation, while their large genomes suggest that Bradymonabacteria could effectively tolerate the absence of prey..."

"The clinical practice of anesthesia is nearly two centuries old. But today, how anesthetics suppress consciousness remains a mystery. Specifically, how do molecular-level drug effects translate into macro-level phenomena? A recent review in the journal Anesthesiology looks at how brain slice studies are helping bridge that gap in neuroscience—with recent findings increasingly pointing to the cortex as a critical center of anesthetic action. Anesthesiologists have embraced the acute brain slice method for investigating anesthetic drug effects. Brain slices enable researchers to examine drug actions in isolated, locally connected networks under highly controlled but flexible conditions. Collectively, such studies suggest that both cortical and subcortical regions of the brain, such as the midbrain and thalamus, play important roles in anesthesia, each contributing to both the level of arousal and the content of consciousness..."
