Clinical presentation and magnetic resonance imaging findings of a spinal cord ganglioglioma in a 7.5-year-old, male, neutered German shepherd dog.

A dog presented with a 1-month history of left-sided hemiparesis. MRI showed a focal, 4-cm-long, symmetrical, ovoid, poorly demarcated intramedullary expansion at C6-C7 that was T2-weighted hyperintense, T1-weighted isointense, and noncontrast enhancing. After clinical progression and euthanasia, pathology revealed a neoplasm composed of astrocytes and dysmorphic neurons, consistent with a ganglioglioma.

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment During Post-operative Recovery: A Scoping Review.

Surgery is a common and often necessary treatment option for a wide range of medical conditions, with an estimated 40 to 50 million surgeries performed in the US alone each year. While the various types of surgeries performed may be effective in treating or managing different conditions, the post-operative period can be challenging for patients. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is a hands-on approach to medical care that seeks to restore balance and harmony to the body from the lens of an interconnected mind, body, and spirit.

Odontogenic-like neoplasms of the rabbit cheek: pathological features and comparison to cutaneous trichoblastoma and jaw-associated ameloblastoma.

Odontogenic neoplasms demonstrate unique histopathological features and are thought to arise from the germinal tissues of the developing tooth germ, effectively restricting their anatomic origin to the tooth-bearing regions of the jaw and directly associated soft tissues of the oral cavity. Ectopic odontogenic-like neoplasms located in the skin of cats, rabbits, and human beings challenge these assumptions. Here we describe the clinical, pathological, and immunohistochemical features of 6 spontaneously occurring odontogenic-like neoplasms arising in the cutaneous tissue of the cheek in client-owned pet rabbits, including ameloblastoma-like (n = 3), ameloblastic fibroma-like (n = 2), and ameloblastic carcinoma-like neoplasms (n = 1).

Comparison of Tolerance and Complication Rates Between Early and Delayed Feeding After Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Placement in Children.

Background: Enteral nutrition is commonly initiated 24 hours after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in children. Adult studies report safe refeeding within 1 to 6 hours of PEG, and these findings have been cautiously applied to children. Comparative studies assessing early versus next-day refeeding in children are currently lacking.

Non-Surgical Management of Gastroduodenal Fistula Caused by Ingested Neodymium Magnets.

Foreign body ingestions pose a significant health risk in children. Neodymium magnets are high-powered, rare-earth magnets that is a serious issue in the pediatric population due to their strong magnetic force and high rate of complications. When multiple magnets are ingested, there is potential for morbidity and mortality, including gastrointestinal fistula formation, obstruction, bleeding, perforation, and death.

Food stories: Unraveling the mechanisms underlying healthful eating.

The biomedical model of health (BMH) studies the causes and origins of disease. When applied to nutrition research, eating is studied as a behavior that supports physical health. However, the lack of attention the BMH pays to social and historical circumstances in which health behaviors are constructed has been widely addressed in literature.

Individual, social-environmental, and physical-environmental factors that underlie sense of coherence in Dutch adults.

Antonovsky's salutogenesis is a theoretical perspective on health development that explores physical, mental, and social factors that contribute to a 'healthy life orientation' and also a theoretical approach to behavior change. Previous studies applying salutogenesis show that a high sense of coherence (SOC), a composite measure from salutogenesis indicating one's capacity to cope with stress, is associated with a healthy life orientation and lifestyle behaviors, including healthy eating patterns. However, limited evidence exists on the factors that underlie SOC, which could be used to strengthen this capacity as a means to enable healthier eating.

Applying the salutogenic framework to nutrition research and practice.

Much research has identified a sea of factors related to unhealthy diets to make sense of why people struggle to eat healthy diets. However, little is known of factors that empower healthy eating. Antonovsky's salutogenesis provides an innovative framework to study these factors and identify resources and mechanisms underlying healthy eating practices.

Profiling healthy eaters. Determining factors that predict healthy eating practices among Dutch adults.

Research has identified multiple factors that predict unhealthy eating practices. However what remains poorly understood are factors that promote healthy eating practices. This study aimed to determine a set of factors that represent a profile of healthy eaters.

How science thinks and practice acts: bridging the gap in weight management interventions for adolescents.

Background: Adolescent obesity calls for evidence-based treatment approaches given its long-term physical and psychosocial consequences. However, research shows there are many problems in the translation of scientific evidence into practice.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop science- and practice-based recommendations for the planning of future adolescent weight management interventions.
