Comparison of preoperative retrobulbar bupivacaine and postoperative subcutaneous liposome-encapsulated bupivacaine on postoperative analgesia in dogs undergoing enucleation.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of preoperative bupivacaine inferotemporal retrobulbar blocks to postoperative liposome-encapsulated bupivacaine (Nocita) line blocks for analgesia following enucleation.

Animals: 39 client-owned dogs (40 eyes) presenting to the Ophthalmology Service for enucleation.

Methods: Dogs were randomly assigned to receive either a preoperative inferotemporal retrobulbar block with 0.

The Effectiveness of Liposome-Encapsulated Bupivacaine Compared to Standard Bupivacaine for Anesthesia of the Maxilla in Dogs.

Medical and surgical procedures involving the canine maxilla can be painful both during and for several hours post-procedure. The length of this pain may exceed the predicted duration of standard bupivacaine or lidocaine. The goal of this study was to determine the duration and efficacy of sensory blockade of the maxilla produced by liposome-encapsulated bupivacaine (LB), compared to standard bupivacaine (B) or saline (0.

Augmenting the Activity of Macrolide Adjuvants against .

Approximately 1.7 million Americans develop hospital associated infections each year, resulting in more than 98,000 deaths. One of the main contributors to such infections is the Gram-negative pathogen .

Retrospective analysis of complications associated with retrobulbar bupivacaine in dogs undergoing enucleation surgery.

Objective: To investigate complications associated with, and without, bupivacaine retrobulbar local anesthesia in dogs undergoing unilateral enucleation surgery.

Study Design: Retrospective, observational study.

Animals: A total of 167 dogs underwent unilateral enucleation surgery via a transpalpebral approach.

The intergenerational transmission of partnering.

As divorce and cohabitation dissolution in the US have increased, partnering has expanded to the point that sociologists describe a merry-go-round of partners in American families. Could one driver of the increase in the number of partners be an intergenerational transmission of partnering? We discuss three theoretical perspectives on potential mechanisms that would underlie an intergenerational transmission of partnering: the transmission of economic hardship, the transmission of marriageable characteristics and relationship skills, and the transmission of relationship commitment. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 Child and Young Adult study (NLSY79 CYA) and their mothers in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79), we examined the intergenerational transmission of partnering, including both marital and cohabitating unions, using prospective measures of family and economic instability as well as exploiting sibling data to try to identify potential mechanisms.

A Two-Input Fluorescent Logic Gate for Glutamate and Zinc.

The direct visualization of neurotransmitters is a continuing problem in neuroscience; however, functional fluorescent sensors for organic analytes are still rare. Herein, we describe a fluorescent sensor for glutamate and zinc ions. The sensor acts as a fluorescent logic gate, giving a turn-off response to glutamate or zinc ion alone.
