Lung ultrasonography can facilitate bovine respiratory disease (BRD) detection and can potentially improve treatment outcomes. In this study, ninety-six veal calves were followed weekly with clinical and lung ultrasound examinations during the production cycle. Thirty-six calves had clinical signs and abnormal lung ultrasound scans (TRT, n = 36) and were promptly treated with florfenicol and meloxicam.

- The European Association of Urology (EAU) developed guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic to prioritize surgeries for patients with urological malignancies, focusing on "high-risk" cases.
- A study compared tumor characteristics of patients treated during the pandemic (2020-2021) with those treated post-pandemic (2022-2023), finding that while surgical procedures were similar, certain surgeries like radical prostatectomies and partial nephrectomies were significantly lower during the pandemic.
- Despite the differences in surgery rates, the study found no significant changes in tumor pathological features, indicating that effective prioritization and centralization of care can help maintain the quality of oncological treatment during health crises.
Robot-assisted extravesical ureteral reimplantation (REVUR) was described for the first time in 2004. Since then, the surgical approach of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) has changed dramatically. The benefits of this technique are great when compared to the laparoscopic or traditional open approaches.
