Article Synopsis
- Infective endocarditis is a serious condition that can lead to severe heart and brain problems, making early recognition essential.
- The spleen is critical for immune defense against infections, but there's limited research on the risk of endocarditis in patients who have had their spleen removed and have cardiac devices.
- This case study details a 60-year-old patient who developed infective endocarditis after a splenectomy, leading to complications that required pacemaker removal and intensive antibiotic treatment.
The formation of adhesions is a common complication following traumatic injuries and surgical procedures, often resulting in pain, stiffness, and loss of function. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of using a composite material comprising of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), polyethylene oxide (PEO), and calcium chloride, for preventing adhesions between muscle and bone during the healing stage, as well as its effect on the bone healing process. Ten healthy purpose-bred laboratory Beagle dogs were randomly subjected to two consecutive operations with a 6-month interval, alternating between left and right forelimbs.

Twenty dogs were included, each subjected to three different treatments: Chopin music, Mozart music and no music. They were premedicated with acepromazine, butorphanol and meloxicam and anaesthetized with propofol and isoflurane.
