Objective: To compare preoperative and postoperative cross-sectional areas (CSAs) of the external nares and nasal vestibule on computed tomography (CT) transverse sections in brachycephalic dogs that underwent a vestibuloplasty in combination with either a Trader's technique or vertical wedge resection rhinoplasty.

Methods: Medical records and corresponding preoperative and postoperative head computed tomographic images were reviewed to measure CSA at two defined points on transverse sections of the nasal cavities.

Results: Nine brachycephalic dogs were included for analysis.

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) remain a major challenge in maternal health. Early prediction of HDPs is crucial for timely intervention. Most existing predictive machine learning (ML) models rely on costly methods like blood, urine, genetic tests, and ultrasound, often extracting features from data gathered throughout pregnancy, delaying intervention.

Article Synopsis
  • Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a leading cause of orofacial pain, with hyperactivity of the lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) often implicated; botulinum toxin A (BTX) injections into this muscle can be a treatment but lack standardization.
  • A study conducted on five cadavers using extraoral landmark-based LPM BTX injections revealed a 0% accuracy rate and significant neurovascular disruption in 40% of cases.
  • The findings underline the dangers of blind BTX injections for TMD and emphasize the need for improved treatment protocols, including the use of guided imaging techniques.

Article Synopsis
  • Atlantic salmon are crucial for global aquaculture but face challenges in production due to rising summer temperatures and unknown nutritional needs for these conditions.
  • A study was conducted with Atlantic salmon parr at a temperature of 22°C to assess the effects of glutamine supplementation on their growth and health.
  • The results showed that glutamine did not improve growth performance or metabolic rates, even though it increased the surface area of gut structures related to digestion.
