Article Synopsis
- Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping is crucial for staging dogs with mast cell tumors (MCTs), but many are referred to oncologists after surgery.
- A study involving 29 dogs aimed to see if lymphatic drainage patterns change before and after tumor removal by comparing SLN mapping results.
- The findings showed that surgical intervention did affect lymphatic drainage, with only 46.7% of cases showing complete agreement in SLN identification before and after surgery.
Carotid body paragangliomas represent an uncommon neoplasm in dogs. The objective of this study was to report outcomes and complications associated with surgical excision of carotid body paragangliomas in 21 dogs. Cases were recruited retrospectively via medical record review from 9 veterinary speciality centres.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcquired pulmonary artery branch stenosis without main pulmonary artery involvement due to external compression by neoplasia has been described in human and veterinary medicine. Over time, this can result in right ventricular hypertension and right-sided heart failure. Endovascular stenting offers quick relief from signs, while the underlying cause is addressed.

It is hypothesized that the constructs with tees will have higher bending stiffness.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze cytologic findings from lymph nodes in dogs with thyroid carcinoma and identify prognostic factors linked to lymph node metastasis.
- Researchers reviewed medical records and cytology results from 71 dogs diagnosed with thyroid cancer between 2010 and 2020, analyzing 154 lymph nodes in total.
- The findings indicated a very low rate of lymph node metastasis in mandibular and superficial cervical lymph nodes, suggesting these areas might not be the best indicators for assessing metastasis, with a recommendation to focus on other lymph nodes showing higher rates.
