Article Synopsis
  • - Mast cell tumors (MCTs) in dogs are categorized into cutaneous (cMCTs) and subcutaneous (scMCTs) types, with differences in tumor origin and the need for proper grading for prognosis.
  • - A study analyzed 305 scMCTs and 1291 cMCTs, revealing distinct breed distributions and histopathological features, where scMCTs exhibited more severe characteristics and a higher likelihood of being classified as Kiupel high grade compared to cMCTs.
  • - The findings indicate significant histopathological differences between scMCTs and cMCTs, but further research is needed to see how these differences might affect clinical outcomes in dogs.

Objective:  The aim of this study was to report the short-term clinical and radiographic outcome for the treatment of femoral capital physeal fractures with cortical positional screws in cats.

Study Design:  Medical records and radiographs of cats with femoral capital physeal fractures stabilized with cortical positional screws were retrospectively reviewed. Signalment, bodyweight, femoral head affected, fracture classification, fracture reduction, implants, concurrent orthopaedic injuries, osteoarthritis, femoral neck osteolysis, complications and 6-week follow-up clinical results were recorded.

Objectives: To report the clinical presentation, complications, and long-term outcomes of cats treated for perineal hernia with modified internal obturator muscle transposition.

Methods: The medical records of cats surgically treated for perineal hernia between 2013 and 2019 were reviewed and an owner questionnaire was conducted to determine long-term outcome.

Results: Thirty-six cats were included in the study: 34 had bilateral and two unilateral hernias.

Complement dysregulation is characteristic of the renal diseases atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and complement component 3 glomerulopathy (C3G). Complement regulatory protein Factor H (FH) inhibits complement activity, whereas FH-related proteins (FHRs) lack a complement regulatory domain. FH and FHRs compete for binding to host cell glycans, in particular heparan sulfates (HS).

Objectives: To report early results of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in dogs using a single-incision subxiphoid approach.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective study of 10 client-owned dogs with: pyothorax (n=5), pericardial effusion (n=2), bilateral pneumothorax (n=1), retained surgical swab (n=1), cranial mediastinal mass (n=1). With the dog in dorsal recumbency a 3-4 cm incision was made over the xiphoid process.
