Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) soil contamination in Lausanne, Switzerland: Combining pollution mapping and human exposure assessment for targeted risk management.

In December 2020, high soil concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) were discovered across large parts of Lausanne, Switzerland. Concentrations reached up to 640 ng TEQ/kg dry weight. The most likely source was a former municipal waste incinerator.

Effects of perineural dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine on postoperative methadone requirements in dogs after tibial plateau levelling osteotomy: a two-centre study.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a perineural injection of dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine for reducing postoperative methadone requirements in dogs after tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO).

Study Design: A prospective, clinical, randomized and blinded trial.

Animals: A total of 58 client-owned dogs.

Effects of perineural administration of ropivacaine combined with perineural or intravenous administration of dexmedetomidine for sciatic and saphenous nerve blocks in dogs.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of using ropivacaine combined with dexmedetomidine for sciatic and saphenous nerve blocks in dogs.

Animals: 7 healthy adult Beagles.

Procedures: In phase 1, dogs received each of the following 3 treatments in random order: perineural sciatic and saphenous nerve injections of 0.

Opioid requirements after locoregional anaesthesia in dogs undergoing tibial plateau levelling osteotomy: a pilot study.

Objective: To determine the intraoperative and early postoperative opioid requirement after ultrasound-guided sciatic and/or femoral nerve block or epidural anaesthesia in dogs undergoing tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO).

Study Design: Prospective, masked, pilot, randomized, clinical trial.

Animals: A total of 40 client-owned dogs undergoing TPLO.

Effects of fentanyl-lidocaine-ketamine versus sufentanil-lidocaine-ketamine on the isoflurane requirements in dogs undergoing total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy.

Objective: To compare the isoflurane-sparing effects of sufentanil-lidocaine-ketamine (SLK) and fentanyl-lidocaine-ketamine (FLK) infusions in dogs undergoing total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy (TECA-LBO).

Study Design: Randomized blinded clinical study.

Animals: A group of 20 client-owned dogs undergoing TECA-LBO.
