A Decade of Treatment of Canine Parvovirus in an Animal Shelter: A Retrospective Study.

Here, we present 11.5 years of monthly treatment statistics showing an overall intake of 5127 infected dogs between June 2008 and December 2019, as well as more detailed datasets from more recent, less protracted time periods for the examination of mortality risk, seasonality, and resource requirements in the mass treatment of canine parvovirus (CPV) in a private animal shelter. The total survival rate of animals during the study period was 86.

Using Video Direct Observation to Assess Children's Physical Activity During Recess.

Purpose: Traditional direct observation cannot provide continuous, individual-level physical activity (PA) data throughout recess. This study piloted video direct observation to characterize children's recess PA overall and by sex and weight status.

Methods: Children (N = 23; 11 boys; 6 overweight; third to fifth grade) were recorded during 2 recess periods, coding for PA duration, intensity, location, and type.

Preliminary Results of the Use of a Stabilized Hypochlorous Acid Solution in the Management of Ralstonia Pickettii Biofilm on Silicone Breast Implants.

Background: Ralstonia Pickettii biofilms are associated with pocket infections following breast implant surgeries. Biofilm protects bacteria most topically applied antimicrobial irrigations.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of four antimicrobial solutions on the planktonic form and established biofilm of Ralstonia Pickettii grown on 3 different types of silicone breast implants.

Knee scores change with length of follow-up after total knee arthroplasty.

Patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) between 1989 and 1994 were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively with the Knee Society scoring system at 3 time intervals: 1 to 2 years, 3 to 6 years, and more than 7 years. Knee prosthesis and functional scores improved statistically after TKA. At last follow-up evaluation, a statistically significant decline was found in functional knee scores that was related to an increase in numbers of patients in category C.
