3T high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging, conventional ultrasonography and ultrasound biomicroscopy of the normal canine eye.

Background: Advances in MRI coil technology and increased availability of high-field MRI in veterinary medicine enable the acquisition of images of increasingly high spatial resolution while preserving signal-to-noise ratio.The purpose of the present study was to compare 3T high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) with ultrasound (US) and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in the normal canine eye, to assess its potential to depict normal ocular anatomy.

Results: HR-MRI was compared with US and UBM in 10 eyes from 10 healthy beagle dogs.

The localization of a conjunctivoscleral foreign body via high-resolution microscopy coil magnetic resonance imaging in a dog.

A 3-year-old French bulldog was presented to the ophthalmology service of the Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zurich with a 3-day history of conjunctival swelling of the left eye (OS). Ophthalmologic examination revealed a moderate conjunctival hyperemia and chemosis. A migrating foreign body having entered the conjunctival fornix behind the nictitating membrane was suspected.

Clinical practice guidelines for management of children with Down syndrome: Part I.

Working with DS patients in primary, specialty, and acute care health settings has always been a demanding task for the busy practitioner. The associated medical conditions, developmental demands, and educational demands makes it challenging for pediatric care providers to address all the specific details for each age group. The purpose of this two-part Practice Guideline is to streamline this process.
