Objective: The aim was to investigate the patellar ligament strain with varying degrees of tibial plateau angles (TPAs) after tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) in a cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL)-deficient stifle during the stance phase.
Methods: 12 pelvic cadaver limbs were secured to a custom-built jig to mimic a loadbearing stance after which an axial load of 120 N was applied. Patellar ligament strain, change in strain, and percent change in strain were calculated on pre-TPLO (intact and transected CrCL) and post-TPLO tibial TPAs of -5°, 0°, 5°, 10°, and 15°.
Objective: To compare the sensitivity and specificity of pH with multichannel intraluminal impedance (pH-MII), pH-metry (pH) alone and MII alone to direct observation of GOR by endoscopy in anaesthetized dogs.
Study Design: A prospective comparative trial in a live canine model.
Animals: A group of 35 (22 females, 13 males) dogs of various breeds.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effects of different resuscitation fluids on blood coagulation and related metrics in a controlled hemorrhage model using six cats.
- Cats underwent three treatments over two months: no hemorrhage with sham resuscitation, resuscitation with lactated Ringer's solution (LRS), and resuscitation with Voluven (a starch solution). Blood tests were conducted at multiple time points.
- Results showed that both LRS and Voluven led to significant prolongation of prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), as well as reduced hematocrit (HCT) and platelet counts, indicating hypocoagulopathy
Objective: To identify physiological variables for objectively detecting nociception indicative of intraoperative peripheral nerve block failure.
Study Design: A double-blinded randomized clinical study.
Animals: A sample of 14 male (40.
Electrical stunning is used to capture crocodiles to perform routine management procedures. It is essential from a welfare point that electrical stunning must cause unconsciousness in animals. However, there is no information of whether or not electrical stunning causes unconsciousness in the Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus).
