Feline ocular and respiratory infections: a retrospective analysis of clinical cases submitted to Georgia Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratories (2012-2022).

Objectives: The objective of this study was to retrospectively assess the pathogens associated with feline ocular and respiratory diseases in routine diagnostic samples submitted to Georgia Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratories. Furthermore, pathogens detected by the respiratory PCR panel in the upper vs lower respiratory tract were compared (specimen separation at pharynx).

Methods: Test records from feline ocular and respiratory PCR panels were collected from 2012 to 2022.

Apparent Diffusion Coefficient as an Early Predictive Factor of Local and Overall Response to Treatment with Androgen Deprivation Therapy and Radiotherapy in Patients with Prostate Cancer.

: To analyze the predictive value of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) treated with radiotherapy (RT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). : Retrospective study of patients with high-risk, very high-risk, or unfavorable intermediate-risk PCa who received RT and ADT between 2008 and 2019 and underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging mpMRI) at 6 months post-RT. Differences in ADC values were compared between patients with and without progression and/or local recurrence.

A Multicenter Assessment of the Accuracy of Claims Data in Appendicitis Research.

Objective: To investigate accuracy of ICD-9/10 billing codes in a multicenter cohort.

Summary Of Background Data: Health services research on appendicitis often relies on administrative databases. However, billing codes may misclassify disease severity, as we demonstrated previously in a single institution study.

Development of an Electrical Current Stimulator for Activating Muscle Tissues in Biohybrid Machines.

Soft and flexible robots are being developed as an alternative to traditional robotics. While they offer significant adaptability to the external environment, the integration of biological tissues as actuators presents several challenges. One of the critical challenges is the activation of the biological tissues to contract and move the robotic system's joints.

Clinical Results of the ANAIS Study: Mechanical Thrombectomy Using the ANA Device in Combination with a Stent Retriever in Subjects with Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Background And Purpose: The ANA thrombectomy system is a funnel catheter comprising a self-expanding coated funnel that works in conjunction with a standard stent retriever and is designed to locally restrict flow and reduce clot fragmentation. The ANAIS Study to Confirm the Safety and Performance of the ANA 5F Advanced Neurovascular Access investigated the performance of the ANA funnel catheter in patients with stroke.

Materials And Methods: Mechanical thrombectomy using the ANA device in combination with a stent retriever in subjects with acute ischemic stroke.
