Background: The limited and detailed literature on total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), as well as the clinical indications for unilateral ovariectomy in llamas, are not well-defined. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the anesthetic events and the surgical intervention in this species.
Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the intraoperative physiological and clinical parameters in llamas undergoing unilateral ovariectomy, under three protocols of TIVA.

Background: The utility and uptake of Del Nido cardioplegia in adult cardiac surgery is rapidly increasing. Cases with prolonged aortic cross-clamp times necessitate multi-dosing however an understanding of safe ischaemic times and definitive guidelines in this domain are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of our DNC strategy by comparing post-operative troponin profiles and clinical outcomes between Del Nido and hyperkalaemic cardioplegia for cases with aortic cross-clamp times of greater than 90 min.

Introduction Symptomatic mammary hypertrophy (SMH) refers to excessive breast weight exceeding 3% of total body weight, impacting not only the breast but also the nipples and areola. Breast reduction surgery (BRS) has a complication that adversely affects the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) sensation. The purpose of this study was to estimate the degree to which the specialized infrared camera-computer system (SPY) may predict postoperative sensation of the NAC following BRS.

Background: While performing a hip joint aspiration for culture, a lidocaine diagnostic injection called block test can be performed during the investigation of painful total hip arthroplasties (THA). This test was formerly applied to limited series in pre-operative and without assessing the predictive value on the results of THA revision. Therefore we investigated a consecutive series of THA revisions who underwent pre-operative aspiration-block test to determine if patients with pre-operative positive block test (disappearance of symptoms) have a better clinical improvement after revision.

Within the European Union, the use of lidocaine in food-producing animals is restricted due to concerns over human safety. This study compared the clinical effectiveness of procaine, with and without epinephrine, against lidocaine in pain alleviation during thermocautery disbudding in xylazine-sedated calves. The efficacy of local blocks was assessed through needle pricks, and the behavioral reactions to disbudding were scored.
