Celiac plexus (CP) block (CPB) and neurolysis (CPN) are interventional techniques employed in human analgesia to control visceral pain originating from the upper abdomen. Visceral pain is common in animals and its treatment is challenging. A percutaneous ultrasound (US)-guided approach to the CP has been reported in people but not in veterinary species.

Animals (Basel)
November 2024
Recovery from general anaesthesia is risky in horses. Alpha-agonist administration after anaesthesia enhances the quality of recovery but may prolong this phase. Recovery time and quality were investigated after medetomidine administration at the end of general anaesthesia in a prospective, randomised, masked and clinical study.

Our aim was to assess the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of switching from a sensor-augmented pump (SAP) to AID in T1D subjects at high risk of hypoglycemia.
Materials And Methods: A manufacturer-led program consisting of three sessions was implemented.
Article Synopsis
- Exposure to total body irradiation (TBI) in adult rhesus macaques shows that it leads to slight declines in cortical bone microstructure, like reduced thickness and area, but does not significantly affect material composition or mechanical properties compared to non-irradiated controls.
- While TBI was administered after peak bone mass was achieved, the study suggests that skeletons of long-term survivors might maintain their mechanical integrity even with some radiation-induced structural changes.
- Additionally, aging impacts the mechanical behavior of bones, particularly reducing toughness to fracture, indicating further research is needed to understand how radiation may cause bone fragility in both mature and immature bones for better patient care.
Aims: Early detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus is key to reducing micro and macrovascular complications associated with this disease. However, a lab-based process for diagnosis entails the risk of loss-to-follow-up. The objective of this study was to demonstrate if performing a point-of-care test of HbA1c immediately after a screening questionnaire will increase the proportion of individuals showing up for a lab-based confirmatory test as Point-of-care (POC) provides immediate availability, which is expected to reduce loss-to-follow-up.
