In Vitro Assessment of Compression Patterns Using Different Methods to Achieve Interfragmentary Compression during Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy.

Objectives:  The aim of this study was to evaluate and characterize different methods to achieve interfragmentary compression during tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO).

Study Design:  TPLO was performed in 20 canine tibia models (Sawbones, Vashon, Washington, United States) using 3D-printed guides for standardization. Interfragmentary compression was assessed using pressure-sensitive films (Prescale, Fujifilm, Atherstone, United Kingdom).

Internal fixation of canine coccygeal vertebral fractures: four cases (2018-2022).

Objectives: To describe the surgical technique and evaluate the outcome and complications after coccygeal vertebral fracture repair in dogs using internal fixation.

Materials And Methods: Medical records and radiography of client-owned dogs were reviewed retrospectively. A lateral approach to the vertebral body was used, and a 1.

Learning to Estimate Heart Rate From Accelerometer and User's Demographics During Physical Exercises.

Getting prompt insights about health and well-being in a non-invasive way is one of the most popular features available on wearable devices. Among all vital signs available, heart rate (HR) monitoring is one of the most important since other measurements are based on it. Real-time HR estimation in wearables mostly relies on photoplethysmography (PPG), which is a fair technique to handle such a task.

Subcutaneous vascular access port implantation in the axillary or femoral/external iliac vein at the time of full limb amputation in dogs.

Objective: To report outcomes and complications after placement of a subcutaneous vascular access port (SVAP) in the jugular (jSVAP), axillary (aSVAP), and femoral or external iliac vein (fSVAP) in dogs.

Study Design: Retrospective.

Methods: Medical records from a single hospital, covering a period between September 2015 and October 2020, were reviewed to identify dogs that had an SVAP placed.

Custom-built constrained uniaxial and rotating hinge total knee replacement in cats: Clinical application, design principles, surgical technique, and clinical outcome.

Objective: To describe the design principles and evolution, surgical technique, and outcome for custom constrained (uniaxial and rotating hinge) total knee replacement (TKR) in cats.

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Animals: Nine cats with traumatic stifle luxation (n = 8) or severe distal femoral deformity (n = 1) were considered suitable candidates.
