Presumptive seeding metastasis of pericardial mesothelioma following repeated pericardiocentesis in a dog.

A dog with a history of recurrent pericardial effusion that required repeated pericardiocentesis was presented to the surgical service at the Ontario Veterinary College Health Sciences Centre for thoracoscopic pericardiectomy.

Understanding the spatial formation and accumulation of fats, oils and grease deposits in the sewer collection system.

Sanitary sewer overflows are caused by the accumulation of insoluble calcium salts of fatty acids, which are formed by the reaction between fats, oils and grease (FOG) and calcium found in wastewaters. Different sewer structural configurations (i.e.
