TextSentencer_T89 11780-11991 Sentence denotes Although differences of serum electrolytes between the two groups were not statistically significant, the difference of the P wave amplitude may be due to the different serum concentrations of some electrolytes.

TextSentencer_T98 13128-13418 Sentence denotes According to the results of present study, it is recommended that the calves with concurrent infection of Cryptosporidium sp. with rotavirus and coronavirus receive more intensive therapeutic attention, although additional studies with greater sample size are needed to confirm the results.
