Department of Comparative Diagnostic, and Population Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA. Electronic address:
Objective: To develop an ultrasound-guided technique for intercostal nerve blocks in rabbit cadavers and to compare the success rate and potential complications of this technique to blind injection.
Study Design: Prospective, randomized, blinded, descriptive experimental cadaveric study.
Animals: A group of nine adult domestic rabbit cadavers (body mass 1.
The feasibility of endoscopic stapes surgery: A three-dimensional planning method.
Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol
February 2025
Objective: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of a semi-automatic algorithm in assessing the feasibility and complexity of endoscopic stapes surgery preoperatively.
Methods: A semi-automatic algorithm was developed to simulate endoscopic stapes surgery in 3D. To test the accuracy of the algorithm, five fresh-frozen cadaveric heads (ten ears) were used.
'The Stegosaurus Appearance' on ultrasound to assist in identifying the correct spinal level for primary lumbar spinal surgery.

Lumbar spinal surgery relies on palpation of anatomical landmarks and X-ray imaging confirmation to identify the correct spinal level, therefore exposing patients and staff to radiation, and increasing intraoperative time and cost. Ultrasound (US) assistance is being used to visualise spinal anatomy by many specialities, such as neurology and anaesthetics, and can be used intraoperatively in selected spinal surgery cases. However, its potential use to check spinal levels prior to surgery remains understudied.

This intervention, vital for managing life-threatening intracranial pressure increases, is associated with catheter misplacement rates exceeding 30% when using a freehand technique. Such misplacements hold severe consequences including haemorrhage, infection, prolonged hospital stays, and even morbidity and mortality.

Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis despite ongoing advances in systemic and multimodal therapies. This review analyzes recent progress and future directions in pancreatic cancer clinical trials, emphasizing the evolution from traditional approaches to a more personalized and biologically-driven treatment paradigm. While improvements in overall survival have been achieved through perioperative therapies, gaps remain in our understanding of optimal treatment strategies.
