Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a neurophysiological test, which is widely used in human medicine for epilepsy diagnosis and other neurological disorders. For an adequate interpretation, it is necessary to know the electroencephalogram features for different stages of development. Despite the growing interest in its implementation in veterinary medicine, standardized descriptions of the EEG features of the different stages of brain development in dogs are restricted to studies with limited number of dogs and limited age groups.

- Acute-onset postoperative endophthalmitis can lead to significant visual loss after cataract surgery, but there is no agreed-upon global strategy for its prevention, particularly regarding the use of intracameral antibiotics.
- A randomized clinical trial by the European Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgeons showed that using intracameral cefuroxime reduced endophthalmitis rates by about five times, yet this practice has not been universally adopted.
- A comparison of endophthalmitis prevention methods across various countries revealed diverse practices and highlighted the lack of a worldwide consensus.
Purpose: To report the beneficial properties of argon laser as an adjunctive therapy in 2 patients with refractory fungal keratitis.
Methods: Case reports and a review of the literature. Two cases of Fusarium keratitis refractory to topical and systemic antifungals were further treated with argon laser.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of ketorolac on biofilm formation of Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from patients with post-cataract endophthalmitis.
Methods: Forty S. epidermidis strains isolated from postoperative endophthalmitis were used for this study.
Canine electroencephalographic recording technique: findings in normal and epileptic dogs.

Objective: The absence of a standardized recording technique and of normal reference patterns may have hindered the use of experimental electroencephalography (EEG) in dogs and in veterinary medicine as well. Therefore, the aim of the present work was to develop a recording technique for brachycephalic, mesocephalic and dolichocephalic breeds of dogs that would standardize the recording parameters, including the electrical activity of the rhinencephalon and prorean gyrus, and to prove its feasibility for detecting abnormal activity.
Methods: We accomplished this task by employing 12 recording electrodes.
