Approach to the canine coxofemoral joint using an osteotomy of the deep gluteal muscle insertion for total hip replacements.

Canine total hip replacements (THR) are commonly performed using a craniolateral approach to the craniodorsal aspect of the hip which traditionally involves a partial deep gluteal tendon tenotomy (DGT). Performing an osteotomy of the insertion of the deep gluteal tendon has been utilized by some surgeons. Utilizing bone healing over tendon healing aims to improve post operative hip stability.

Gate-Shift-Fuse for Video Action Recognition.

Convolutional Neural Networks are the de facto models for image recognition. However 3D CNNs, the straight forward extension of 2D CNNs for video recognition, have not achieved the same success on standard action recognition benchmarks. One of the main reasons for this reduced performance of 3D CNNs is the increased computational complexity requiring large scale annotated datasets to train them in scale.

Bead size has a greater effect on in vitro elution from antimicrobial-impregnated calcium sulfate beads than drug concentration.

Objective: To compare the elution characteristics of amikacin-impregnated calcium sulfate (CaSO4) beads based on different drug concentrations and bead size configurations.

Sample: Six groups of amikacin-impregnated CaSO4 beads and one negative control group.

Procedures: Amikacin-impregnated CaSO4 beads were formed with either 500 mg (low-concentration) or 1 g (high-concentration) of amikacin per 15 g CaSO4 hemihydrate powder.

Localised erythema multiforme-like reaction confined to a region of clipper burn in a dog.

Localised erythema multiforme (LEM) is only reported to occur in humans and not in domestic species. This case report describes the clinical and histopathological features of LEM-like reaction in a dog, confined to a region of clipper burn.
