Article Synopsis
- Six healthy rabbits were given varying doses of intramuscular alfaxalone (1mg/kg, 2.5mg/kg, and 5mg/kg) to study its sedative and physiological effects, with observations made after a 7-day rest period.
- The study measured sedative effects using a scoring system and monitored vital signs like pulse, respiratory rate, and blood pressure before and after administration.
- Results showed that higher doses of alfaxalone resulted in quicker and longer-lasting sedation, with the 2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg doses leading to complete loss of righting reflex in all rabbits, while no significant circulatory depression or apnea was observed.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined how different doses of sevoflurane anesthesia affect the duration of neuromuscular blockade from rocuronium in beagle dogs.
- A total of six healthy dogs were tested at four different sevoflurane MAC levels, and various parameters of neuromuscular function were measured during recovery.
- The findings showed that higher doses of sevoflurane significantly prolonged recovery times from rocuronium blockade, indicating a dose-dependent effect on neuromuscular recovery.
Robenacoxib is a novel nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug approved for dogs. The present study aimed to evaluate influences of sevoflurane anesthesia on the distribution of robenacoxib in dogs. Ten healthy beagle dogs (1 to 11 years old, 9.

- Maropitant and carprofen are two drugs used for pain relief in dogs, with maropitant blocking substance P and carprofen being a common anti-inflammatory.
- The study tested their effects on reducing the amount of sevoflurane needed to blunt the dog's stress response during anesthesia, using different combinations of the drugs and a control group.
- Results showed that both maropitant and carprofen significantly lowered the necessary sevoflurane levels, but their combination didn't produce any additional benefit in reducing those levels further.
Cardiovascular effects of total intravenous anesthesia using ketamine-medetomidine-propofol drug combination (KMP-TIVA) were determined in 5 Thoroughbred horses undergoing surgery. The horses were anesthetized with intravenous administration (IV) of ketamine (2.5 mg/kg) and midazolam (0.

Pes varus had resulted from asymmetric closure of the physis of the distal tibia. Prior to surgery, osteotomy was simulated by measuring X-ray films to determine the distance required for the wedge opening.

The interfacial strength in SL columns was almost equivalent as BC columns, and bone-column contact rate was higher than BC columns significantly at twelve weeks after implantation. The newly devised SL surface had almost equivalent bone fixation strength comparable to the conventional BC surface.
