Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to identify effective cooling methods for dogs suffering from exercise-induced hyperthermia, testing four different techniques after the dogs reached a critical core temperature or showed signs of heat stress.
- - Results indicated that the "dunking" method, where dogs were briefly submerged in cool water, resulted in the fastest cooling effects and prevented a rise in temperature immediately after exercise.
- - The findings suggest that quickly cooling dogs in the field is crucial; if immersion isn't feasible, controlled water intake and head cooling can help but need more investigation.
Article Synopsis
- Working dogs are at risk for a serious condition called non-pyrogenic hyperthermia, which can arise from hard work or hot environments.
- A study tested the effectiveness of two cooling methods: water immersion and applying isopropyl alcohol to dogs' paws, comparing them with no cooling intervention.
- Results indicated that both water immersion and isopropyl alcohol were effective in cooling the dogs, but water immersion was more effective and less stressful, as applying alcohol increased heart rates.
Purpose: Partial ossicular replacement (PORP) and total ossicular replacement prostheses (TORP) are used to restore ossicular chain function. Despite favorable auditory outcomes, these interventions have associated risks and complications. This study examines the FDA MAUDE database for ossicular chain prosthesis adverse events to highlight complications, interventions, and root cause analysis (RCA) findings.

Tympanoplasty repairs tympanic membrane perforations but also covers an umbrella of procedures characterized by surgery of the mastoid bone. Tympanoplasty is widely regarded as a beneficial procedure with an over 90% graft closure success rate and an over 80% return to normal hearing range. Though surgical technique and graft type are important in determining surgical outcomes of the procedure, results are most greatly correlated with location of the perforation.
