FIELD TECHNIQUES FOR VASECTOMY IN BLACK HOWLER MONKEYS ().

Three adult black howler monkeys () were vasectomized for the purpose of population control. Two different surgical approaches (inguinal and pelvic) were used to vasectomize the animals under general anesthesia. One monkey was vasectomized with a pelvic approach, and the other two monkeys were vasectomized with an inguinal approach.

Surgical management and outcome of acquired inguinal hernias in mature bulls: 13 cases (2005-2017).

Objective: To describe rates of surgical complications, survival, and return to breeding soundness following herniorrhaphy for bulls with inguinal hernias.

Animals: 13 sexually mature bulls with acquired inguinal hernias.

Procedures: Medical record databases of 3 veterinary teaching hospitals were searched to identify records of bulls that underwent herniorrhaphy for correction of an inguinal hernia from 2005 to 2017.

Global Challenges and Solutions: Role of Telemedicine in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Interventions.

Major disparities exist between developed and developing countries in the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). These pronounced differences result in significantly increased morbidity and mortality from AMI in different regions of the world. Lack of infrastructure, insurance, facilities, and skilled personnel are the major constraints.

Interpopulation differences in exudate feeding of pygmy marmosets in Ecuadorian Amazonia.

Local variations in fruit- and leaf-eating have been reported for some primate species; however, similar variations in exudate-feeding of pygmy marmosets, one of the most specialized neotropical primate species, have not been studied. In our 3-year study of four populations of pygmy marmosets in northeastern Ecuador, we characterized their exudate-feeding behavior by describing the use of exudate sources. We tested whether the use of exudate species was related to ecological factors such as the availability of exudate species in an area.
