Impact of Ovarian Suspensory Ligament Rupture on Surgical Stress in Elective Ovariohysterectomy in Bitches.

Ovariohysterectomy (OVH) is a common procedure in bitches, where ovarian suspensory ligament (OSL) rupture facilitates hemostasis but may also have adverse effects. Given the importance of minimizing the surgical stress response, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of OSL rupture in 20 healthy bitches undergoing elective open OVH; a celiotomy via the ventral midline was performed, and hemostasis achieved using bipolar coagulation, either with OSL rupture (OSL-R) or without (OSL-NR). Pain was assessed over 24 h post-surgery using the Visual Analogue Scale and the Short Form of the Glasgow Composite Measure Pain Scale.

Influence of pericardium on ventricular mechanical interdependence in an isolated biventricular working pig heart model.

The pericardium plays an important role in mechanical interactions between the right (RV) and left (LV) ventricles, referred to as ventricular interdependence. However, the exact mechanisms of its supportive role remain unknown. The present study aimed to evaluate specifically ventricular interdependence in a model of isolated biventricular working heart of large mammal, which is in absence of neurohormonal influence or series interactions, and to evaluate the impacts of intact pericardium on this phenomenon.

The genome of the solitary bee Tetrapedia diversipes (Hymenoptera, Apidae).

Tetrapedia diversipes is a Neotropical solitary bee commonly found in trap-nests, known for its morphological adaptations for floral oil collection and prepupal diapause during the cold and dry season. Here, we present the genome assembly of T. diversipes (332 Mbp), comprising 2,575 scaffolds, with 15,028 predicted protein-coding genes.

Clinical performance of different adhesion strategies in non-carious cervical lesion restorations: A four-year randomized clinical trial.

Objective: To evaluate the retention rate and other clinical criteria of four different restorative techniques for non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) after 4 years.

Methods: This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, and split-mouth study evaluating four different adhesion strategies in non-carious cervical lesion restorations: adhesive restorative system (Scotchbond Universal Adhesive/Filtek Z350XT) without (SBU) and with selective enamel acid-etching (E-SBU), resin-modified glass-ionomer cements (Vitremer; RMGIC), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic as acid pretreatment (E-RMGIC). In total, 200 restorations were placed in 50 patients.

Dissemination and Implementation - A Primer for Accelerating "Time to Translation" in Radiation Oncology.

The field of radiation oncology has achieved significant technological and scientific advancements in the 21 century. Yet uptake of new evidence-based practices has been heterogeneous, even in the presence of national and international guidelines. Addressing barriers to practice change requires a deliberate focus on developing and testing strategies tailored to improving care delivery and quality, especially for vulnerable patient populations.
