Functional reconstruction following bilateral amputation of the manus and pes in a cat with frostbite injury.

Can Vet J

January 2025

Guardian Veterinary Centre, 5620 99th Street NW, Edmonton, Alberta T6E 1V2 (Cormillot); VCA Canada, Guardian Veterinary Centre, 5620 99th Street NW, Edmonton, Alberta T6E 1V2 (Fowler).

This case report describes metacarpophalangeal (MCP)- and metatarsophalangeal (MTP)-level amputation and reconstruction of all 4 paws of a young female domestic shorthair cat. All 4 paws, the ears, and the distal portion of the tail underwent severe frostbite injury resulting in tissue death. Following MCP and MTP amputation, weight-bearing surface reconstruction was achieved using metacarpal and metatarsal paw-pad advancement flaps.

Unlabelled: Hydrogel has emerged as a promising wound dressing material, and in situ forming hydrogel has emerged as a promising wound dressing recently. But most in situ forming hydrogel are normally unstable. Herein, we report an in-situ forming hydrogel synthesized from poly(Nisopropylacrylamide166---butyl acrylate9)-poly(ethyleneglycol)-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide166---butyl acrylate9) copolymer (P(NIPAM166--nBA9)-PEG-P(NIPAM166-conBA9), denoted as PEP) and zinc oxide nano-particle(ZnO nano-particle) in response to skin temperature.

High-altitude regions, cold deserts, permafrost regions, and the polar region have some of the severest cold conditions on earth and pose immense perils of cold injuries to exposed individuals. Accidental and unintended exposures to severe cold, either unintentionally or due to occupational risks, can greatly increase the risk of serious conditions including hypothermia, trench foot, and cold injuries like frostbite. Cold-induced vasoconstriction and intracellular/intravascular ice crystal formation lead to hypoxic conditions at the cellular level.
