Perioperative Evaluation of Arterial and Venous Whole Blood in the Lamb () Fontan Model.

Whole blood analysis can evaluate numerous parameters, including pH, pCO₂, pO₂, HCO₃ - , base excess, glucose, electrolytes, lactate, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, bilirubin, and hemoglobin. This valuable tool enables clinicians to make more informed decisions about patient care. However, the current body of literature describing perioperative whole blood analysis in Dorset sheep () is small, so clinicians lack adequate information to guide their decision-making when evaluating test results.

Shewanella xiamenensis-associated ulcerative dermatitis in koi carp (Cyprinus rubrofuscus).

Ulcerative dermatitis (UD) is common in ornamental fish collections and is typically associated with a wide range of bacterial aetiologies. Clinical reports describing Shewanella xiamenensis-associated UD are limited, however, despite growing attention to pathogenic Shewanella species in fish. Two out of 95 koi carp with UD were presented for clinical assessment by a commercial collection (n = 3000 fish) and subsequently killed on welfare grounds for necropsy.

Balloon Sinuplasty and Stenting in the Management of Complex Frontal Sinus Outflow Tract Fractures.

Objective: Classical management of complex fractures involving the frontal sinus outflow tract (FSOT) favors obliteration or cranialization to avoid delayed complications. We aim to exhibit success with a novel application of balloon sinuplasty and frontal stenting in the management of complex injuries disrupting the FSOT, which might have otherwise required more invasive interventions.

Study Design: Retrospective review.

Patient Perceptions of Resident Involvement in Surgery: A Qualitative Study Using Surgical Video.

Objective: To improve patient-centered perioperative informed consent, this study used real surgical footage to identify key topics which might be discussed with patients regarding resident involvement in surgery.

Design: We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with 27 participants. The interviews included a video showing an attending and resident performing a procedure together.

Risk Factors and Outcomes of Postoperative Recurrent Well-Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Single Institution's 15-Year Experience.

Objective: Identify risk factors and outcomes of recurrent well-differentiated thyroid cancer.

Study Design: Retrospective case-control analysis.

Setting: Tertiary care academic center in Nashville, Tennessee.
