Transvenous closure of patent ductus arteriosus with Nit-Occlud® PDA occlusion system in 13 dogs weighing less than 3 kg.

Introduction: Successful closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) can be obtained with surgical ligation or with occlusion via minimally invasive per-catheter techniques. This study was performed to assess feasibility and effectiveness of transjugular PDA occlusion in dogs weighing < 3 kg with a device called Nit-Occlud® PDA.

Animals: Thirteen client-owned dogs.

Ethnoveterinary Study of Plant-Based Remedies for Treating Diseases in Small Ruminants in Maputo Province, Mozambique.

Small ruminants, particularly goats and sheep, are key livestock species in Mozambique, and their production is mainly undertaken by families. However, small ruminants are often plagued by diseases that can cause considerable economic damage. In this context, traditional remedies, including various plant species, have been widely used to manage these diseases.

Genetic Mapping, Identification, and Characterization of a Candidate Susceptibility Gene for Powdery Mildew in .

Powdery mildew (PM) in is most frequently caused by the biotrophic fungus . Based on previously characterized variation in susceptibility to PM, biparental populations were developed by crossing the most resistant cultivar evaluated, 'FL 58', with a susceptible cultivar, 'TJ's CBD'. F progeny were evaluated and displayed a range of susceptibility, and two were self-pollinated to generate two F populations.

Characteristics of orthognathic multidisciplinary team clinics in England. Part 1: A questionnaire survey.

Background: Orthognathic clinics across England are currently run in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) format. It is, however, likely that there is a large variation in the style of these clinics and care pathways for orthognathic patients across the country. This was a cross-sectional, online questionnaire with a primary aim to obtain information on the way orthognathic care is currently delivered throughout England.
