The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of the combination of tiletamine-zolazepam used in low doses as a continuous rate infusion in a partial intravenous anesthesia protocol. Fifteen clinically healthy, different breed bitches weighing 25.08 ± 10.

Case report laparoscopy-assisted pre-pubic urethrostomy as a palliative procedure for resection of distal urethral tumor in a female dog.

Background: This paper presents the first described case of laparoscopy-assisted prepubic urethrostomy and laparoscopic resection of a tumor of the distal part of the urethra in a female dog as a palliative treatment.

Case Presentation: An intact, 11 -year-old, mixed breed female dog, weighing 15 kg, was admitted with signs of urinary obstruction and difficulty with catheterization. Vaginal, rectal, and endoscopic examinations revealed a firm mass in the pelvic cavity at the level of the pelvic urethra.

The impact of environmental water on the potential application of core-shell titania-silica nanospheres as photocatalysts.

In this study, the core-shell silica nanospheres modified with titanium dioxide were tested in the photocatalytic decomposition of dyes. The presented data underlines the advantages and shortcomings in the potential application of silica-based catalysts to neutralize organic pollutants. During the photocatalytic reaction in distilled water, catalysts showed decreased efficiency due to a carbon layer deposited on its surface.
