In the veterinary field, the utility of disease-identification models that use comprehensive circulating microRNA (miRNA) profiles produced through measurements based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) remains unproven. To integrate NGS technology with automated machine learning (autoML) to create a comprehensive circulating miRNA profile and to assess the clinical utility of a disease-screening model derived from this profile. The study involved dogs diagnosed with or being treated for various diseases, including tumors, across multiple veterinary clinics ( = 254), and healthy dogs without apparent diseases ( = 91).

Cutaneous NTM infections are often associated with immunosuppressive conditions, such as HIV infection or exposure to contaminated water, but they can also occur in healthy individuals, complicating the diagnosis. We report the case of a 54-year-old male with a gradually enlarging skin ulcer on his left upper limb.

Calf circumference (CC), a representative anthropometric marker of skeletal muscle mass, is now recommended to adjustment based on body mass index (BMI). This study aimed to evaluate the validity and efficacy of BMI-adjusted CC in very older adults, compared with other methods of assessing muscle mass.

- Pfeiffer syndrome (PS) is a rare genetic disorder affecting facial and limb bones, with the most severe forms being types 2 and 3.
- In this case, a 10-year-old boy with PS type 2 needed dental surgery under general anesthesia, and special care was taken due to his Chiari malformation to avoid neck hyperextension.
- The anesthesia team used a combination of sevoflurane and nitrous oxide for induction and opted for oral intubation instead of nasotracheal intubation, successfully managing the procedure with no complications.
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative dysphagia rehabilitation in older adult patients diagnosed with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 149 patients over 80 years who underwent gastrectomies between January 2000 and December 2020. The patients were divided into two groups based on the intervention of the dysphagia rehabilitation team (DRT group: n = 101) and the non-intervention control group (C group: n = 48).
