Breed-specific vertebral heart size and vertebral left atrial size reference intervals in Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, Pugs, and Boston Terriers.

Objective: The investigators sought to reanalyze previously published vertebral heart size (VHS) reference intervals in Yorkshire Terriers (YTs), Pomeranians (POMs), Pugs, and Boston Terriers (BTs).

Methods: The electronic medical records of IDEXX Telemedicine Consultants were searched for YTs, POMs, Pugs, and BTs undergoing radiography between January 1, 2023, and March 31, 2023. Dogs were included if they had 2- or 3-view thoracic radiographs performed and no evidence of cardiopulmonary or systemic disease.

The Physical Activity at Work (PAW) Program in Thai Office Workers: Mixed Methods Process Evaluation Study.

Background: An increasing number of multicomponent workplace interventions are being developed to reduce sedentary time and promote physical activity among office workers. The Physical Activity at Work (PAW) trial was one of these interventions, but it yielded an inconclusive effect on sedentary time after 6 months, with a low uptake of movement breaks, the main intervention component.

Objective: This study investigates the factors contributing to the outcomes of the PAW cluster randomized trial.

Pre-excitation alternans in a cat.

A nine-year-old male neutered domestic shorthair cat presented on referral for evaluation. The cat presented to its primary veterinarian for acute onset vomiting, panting, and weakness. An electrocardiogram performed at the regular veterinarian was concerning for ventricular tachycardia, and the cat was referred for further evaluation.

Relation between magnetopause position and reconnection rate under quasi-steady solar wind dynamic pressure.

Unlabelled: The lunar environment heliospheric X-ray imager (LEXI) and solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere link explorer (SMILE) will observe the magnetopause motion in soft X-rays to understand dayside reconnection modes as a function of solar wind conditions after their respective launches in the near future. To support their successful science mission, we investigate the relationship between the magnetopause position and the dayside reconnection rate by utilizing super dual auroral radar network (SuperDARN) observations and widely used empirical models of magnetopause position (Shue et al. in J Geophys Res 103:17691-17700.

A morphology of the distal medial femoral surface that should be considered when performing coronal osteotomy in medial closed wedge distal femoral varus osteotomy.

Aims: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the morphology of the distal medial femoral surface during coronal osteotomy in medial closed wedge distal femoral varus osteotomy (MCWDFO) using plain CT.

Methods: Twenty knees (mean age, 55.3 years) were included.
