Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between the position of cats during the insertion of small-bore wire-guided thoracostomy tubes (SBWGTT) and the occurrence of complications, focusing on risks associated with different placement methods.
- Conducted on 24 feline cadavers split into two groups (pleural effusion and pneumothorax), the study reveals that complications occur more frequently when cats are not in the ideal recumbent position for their specific condition.
- A total of 48 SBWGTTs were inserted, with a complication rate of 33.3%, where most major complications (such as lung lacerations) occurred during unfavorable positioning, indicating a potential risk factor that needs further statistical validation.
Objective: To report the long-term outcome of utilization of a silicone stent to support the management of a permanent tracheostomy.
Study Design: Short case series.
Animals: Two client-owned brachycephalic dogs.
There is scant literature on primary nonhematopoietic malignant liver tumours (PMLT) in cats. In this retrospective study, medical data of 40 cats diagnosed with PMLT were reviewed over a period of 22 years (2000-2021). The most frequent epithelial tumours were hepatocellular (42.

The aim of this study was to stratify 33 canine gastrointestinal lymphoma samples according to the latest World Health Organization classification and to determine the Ki67 proliferation index by manual counting, digital image analysis and visual estimation. The Ki67 index was then correlated with subtype, immunophenotype, mitotic index, grade and tumour location.
