Development and evaluation of an anatomically designed and 3D printed device to enhance orotracheal intubation success in rabbits by inexperienced veterinarians.

Objective: To assess whether the use of a three-dimensional (3D) printed device enhances the success rate of orotracheal intubation in rabbits.

Study Design: Prospective, crossover randomized controlled trial.

Animals: A total of six mixed-breed rabbits.

Ocular and systemic toxicity of high-dose intravitreal topotecan in rabbits: Implications for retinoblastoma treatment.

Although many more eyes of children with retinoblastoma are salvaged now compared to just 10 years ago, the control of vitreous seeding remains a challenge. The introduction of intravitreal injection of melphalan has enabled more eyes to be salvaged safely but with definite retinal toxicity. Intensive treatment with high-dose intravitreal topotecan may be a strategy to control tumor burden because of its cell cycle-dependent cytotoxicity and the proven safety in humans.

Implementation of a Low-Cost 3D-Printed Feline Larynx Model for Veterinary Students.

Endotracheal intubation (EI) in domestic cats is an important skill that veterinary students learn in order to perform anesthesia safely in this species. Implementing a 3D-printed larynx model (LaryngoCUBE) during the instruction process may improve student's learning of EI in felines. Twenty-two third-year students performed EI in cats with standard training (ST), and 16 students trained with the model (MT) the day before the laboratory.
