Punch resection alaplasty is a previously unreported surgical technique for the management of stenotic nares. Nine dogs underwent the procedure in conjunction with soft palate resection and/or laryngeal sacculectomy. Three dogs and two cats were treated with the novel punch resection alaplasty technique alone. Symmetrical resection was achieved, providing excellent cosmesis. Good to excellent results were achieved in all cases, with owners feeling that their pet's overall well being was improved following surgery.

Orthoplastic Approach to the Treatment and Reconstruction of a Neurotrophic Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Type 3 Soft Tissue Sarcoma Arising From the Occipitalis Muscle.

Medical Oncology, Parkview Health, Fort Wayne, USA.
We present a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of a neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase type 3 (NTRK3) soft tissue sarcoma (STS), arising from the occipitalis muscle. NTRK3 is a mutation only recently described in STS using next-generation sequencing and is rarely implicated in STS.Currently, there is limited literature to guide care.

Article Synopsis
- FFPE tissue samples are crucial for analyzing thyroid carcinomas and effective molecular targeting therapies, prompting the development of a new preservation technique that maintains nucleic acid quality better than traditional methods.
- The study evaluated different specimen types—including thyroid tumors and lymph node metastases—to identify how fixation techniques impact nucleic acid quality, finding that separately fixed samples consistently displayed superior quality.
- Results indicate that lymph node metastases can provide nucleic acid quality equal to or better than primary thyroid tumors, making them reliable sources for comprehensive genetic profiling in clinical settings.
Skin metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma: A case report and literature review.

Department of Thyroid Surgery, Yantaishan Hospital, Yantai, Shandong 264000, P.R. China.
The present study reports a rare case of skin metastasis in a 26-year-old female patient with a history of PTC positive for the mutation. During the 2.5-year follow-up period after the initial surgical treatment of PTC, no evidence of distant metastasis was found via thyroglobulin measurements, neck ultrasound, or neck and chest computed tomography.

Pride Veterinary Referrals, Derby, UK.
Article Synopsis
- Two kittens with type I phimosis underwent a review of their medical records, highlighting clinical signs, surgical techniques, and follow-ups.
- The surgical procedure involved a modified circumferential preputioplasty using 4 and 6 mm Keyes biopsy punches to effectively widen the narrowed preputial orifice.
- Short-term follow-up indicated a minor transient issue, but long-term assessments showed no complications or recurring symptoms, suggesting the technique's reliability and effectiveness for such cases.
