Corrective wedge ostectomy for an atypical femoral procurvatum deformity stabilised with a supracondylar bone plate.

Physeal fractures of the distal femur are among the most commonly encountered fractures in skeletally immature dogs. These fractures respond poorly to conservative management and thus early surgical reduction and stabilisation are recommended. A 7-month-old intact male Border collie presented with a history of chronic lameness.

Accuracy of Diffusion-weighted Magnetic Resonance Colonography in Assessing Mucosal Healing and the Treatment Response in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis.

Background And Aims: Using sigmoidoscopy as the gold standard, we assessed the accuracy, and the responsiveness to change, of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance colonography in ulcerative colitis, using the Nancy score.

Methods: A total of 29 ulcerative colitis patients, having undergone at least two diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance colonographies, were included. Disease activity was evaluated using the Mayo endoscopic subscore and the Nancy score.

Retreatment with TACE: the ABCR SCORE, an aid to the decision-making process.

Background & Aims: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the standard of care for intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and it is the most commonly used treatment for HCC worldwide. However, no prognostic indices, designed to select appropriate candidates for repeat conventional TACE, have been incorporated in the guidelines.

Methods: From January 2007 to April 2012, 139 consecutive HCC patients, mainly with an alcohol- or viral-induced disease, were treated with TACE.

Association of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging findings with surgical features in Dachshunds with thoracolumbar intervertebral disk extrusion.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences in determining the site, lateralization, and extent of extruded intervertebral disk material (EIDM), compared with surgical findings, in Dachshunds with thoracolumbar intervertebral disk extrusion (TLIDE).

Design: Prospective clinical study.

Sample Population: 16 Dachshunds with clinical signs of intervertebral disk disease.

Magnetic resonance imaging findings of a metastatic chemodectoma in a dog.

A 6-year-old, male, Collie-cross was presented with a non-weight bearing right thoracic limb lameness, right m. deltoideus, m. infraspinatus and m.
