Intra-Articular Surgical Reconstruction of a Canine Cranial Cruciate Ligament Using an Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene Ligament: Case Report with Six-Month Clinical Outcome.

The intra-articular reconstruction of the cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) by an organic graft or a synthetic implant allows the restoration of physiological stifle stability. This treatment is still marginal in routine practice. A Rottweiler presented an acute complete CrCL rupture treated using an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) implant.

The magnetization transfer ratio of the post-mortem canine intervertebral disk is positively correlated to Pfirrmann grading on high field 3.0T MRI: a pilot study.

Objective: Intervertebral disk (IVD) degeneration usually occurs earlier in chondrodystrophic dog breeds than in other breeds. Spinal cord compression secondary to IVD degeneration is the most common cause of myelopathy in these dogs. Standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences permit the identification of IVD degeneration and its consequences on adjacent neurological structures.

Ultrasonographic findings of multicentric malignant lymphoma involving the urinary bladder in a dog: Diagnosis and monitoring during chemotherapy.

A 5.5-year-old spayed female cane corso dog was presented for recurrent hematuria and dysuria. Abdominal ultrasound demonstrated severe hypoechoic urinary bladder wall thickening with irregular mucosal surface and polypoid-like lesions protruding into the lumen, abdominal polyadenomegaly, and splenic honeycombing.

Acquisition and Automated Segmentation of Inertia Sensor Data for Mobile Camptocormia Assessment.

The camptocormia angle has been established as a strong indicator for evaluating the progress of Parkinson's disease and the efficacy of therapeutical approaches. A wearable setup is proposed to measure the camptocormia angle with the perpendicular method using five inertial sensors. This study identifies suitable inertial measurement unit sensors for mobile long-term measurement.

Rapid Separation of Photofissioned Uranium Products via a Single-Pass Multiplexed Chromatographic Fission Product Separation System.

Current state-of-the-art fission product separations frequently involve multiple independent separation columns and sample manipulation processes; to couple these processes together, multiple evaporation and transposition steps are often required. The addition of these steps results in lengthy separation times, increased analysis costs, the potential for sample loss, and release of radioactive contamination. We report a new semiautomated method for the rapid separation of U, Zr, Mo, Ba, Sr, Te, and lanthanide fission products from irradiated uranium samples.
