Dose effect and duration of action of liposomal bupivacaine administered as a perineural analgesic in a reversible and adjustable frog-pressure model of equine lameness.

Objective: To determine the dose effect of peri-neural liposomal bupivacaine (LB) in an induced forelimb lameness model.

Animals: 12 clinically normal adult horses.

Methods: A randomized cross-over design was performed with 1 limb receiving saline and the other LB: low dose (6), high dose (6).

Comparative Analysis of Secondary Outcomes in Treatment of Charcot Neuropathy: A Systematic Review.

Background: Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) is commonly associated with diabetic neuropathy and can predispose patients to amputations. Management remains a challenge, with no definitive treatment. This study examines major postoperative complications associated with open reduction with internal (intramedullary) nails, fixation, external fixation, or combined internal and external fixation for correction of the deformity.

Novel Technique for Transducer Handling in Sterile Ultrasound Guided Procedures.

The objective of this paper is to describe a novel technique for handling an ultrasound transducer while performing sterile ultrasound guided procedures. This novel technique involves placement of the transducer inside the sterile glove on the hand of the operator. This technique allows the operator access to use of both hands without having to pass the transducer to an assistant.
