Comparison of immediate and short-term outcomes of cricoarytenoid and thyroarytenoid lateralization in dogs with idiopathic laryngeal paralysis.

Objective: To compare the immediate and short-term outcomes of thyroarytenoid lateralization (TAL) and cricoarytenoid lateralization (CAL) for the treatment of canine laryngeal paralysis in dogs.

Study Design: A prospective, clinical trial.

Animals: Fourteen client-owned dogs referred to our hospital because of bilateral laryngeal paralysis.

Lip-to-nose flap for reconstruction of the nasal planum after curative intent excision of squamous cell carcinoma in cats: Description of technique and outcome in seven cases.

Objective: To describe the surgical technique for nasal planum reconstruction with a lip-to-nose flap after curative intent surgical excision of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in cats and to report the surgical outcomes.

Study Design: Short case series.

Animals: Seven cats with SCC of the lateral (n = 6) or dorsal (n = 1) aspect of the nasal planum.

Lip-to-nose flap for nasal plane reconstruction in dogs: A cadaveric and in vivo feasibility study.

Objective: To describe a local interpolation flap based on the upper lip for the reconstruction of the dorsal aspect of the nasal plane in dogs.

Study Design: Ex vivo and in vivo case report.

Animals: A 2-year-old medium-sized spayed female mixed-breed dog and a canine cadaver of a medium-sized mixed-breed dog.

Measuring and diagnosing unilateral neglect: a standardized statistical procedure.

Objective: Unilateral neglect is usually investigated by adminstering stimuli (targets) in different positions, with targets being responded to by the patient (Hit) or omitted. In spite of this homogeneity of data type, neglect indices and diagnostic criteria vary considerably, causing inconsistencies in both clinical and experimental settings. We aimed at deriving a standard analysis which would apply to all tasks sharing this data form.
