Squamous Metaplasia Associated With Hypovitaminosis A of the Crop and Salivary Glands in Captive Falcons in the United Arab Emirates.

Twenty falcons exhibiting tongue swelling, oropharyngeal pustules, and crop mucin gland impactions were presented for veterinary care to the Al Aseefa Falcon Clinic in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from October to January 2018-2021. Squamous metaplasia was confirmed in 2 euthanized falcons from this group. A study was undertaken to assess circulating concentrations of serum retinol in this group of diseased falcons (n = 20) compared with the values of a clinically healthy group (n = 20).

Early Intra-Articular Hyaluronic Acid injection following Anterior Cruciate ligament reconstruction provides short term pain relief and improves early postoperative function with no clinical benefits at 6 and 12 Months: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: This randomized-controlled trial assessed the safety and effectiveness of intra-articular hyaluronic acid (IAHA) when administered at various time points following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery.

Methods: Ninety ACL tear patients undergoing arthroscopic ACLR were divided into three groups: Early HA group received HA on day 2 and saline at 2 months; Late HA group received saline on day 2 and HA at 2 months; Placebo group received saline at both times. Clinical (range of motion-ROM, knee circumference, Lysholm score, IKDC, VAS, EQ5D5L, Tegner scores) and blood parameters (blood ESR, and CRP) were assessed at baseline, monthly up to 6 months, and at 12 months.

Comparative Evaluation of Deciduous and Permanent Coronal Caries Using Polarizing Light Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy.

Dental caries causes mineral loss and organic damage to teeth. Understanding caries and dentin pulp reactions is crucial for effective caries management strategies. There is a lack of knowledge regarding the microscopic and ultramicroscopic changes that occur during caries destruction and reactive changes.
