Purpose: The minimally invasive character, the possibility to perform under local anesthesia, and the ease to repeat have led to increasing popularity of laser-assisted treatment of pilonidal sinus disease. Hereby, potentially avoiding prolonged need for medical care at home, incapacity to work, and high expenses for patients and society. This retrospective, multi-center study is aimed at evaluating the feasibility of laser-assisted treatment for pilonidal sinus disease.

Non-healing claw lesions (NHCLs) are a newly characterized disorder affecting the deep dermis of the hoof in dairy cattle. Although NHCLs are thought to be associated with bovine digital dermatitis (BDD), their precise etiology is not yet understood. To investigate the bacterial populations present in each type of NHCL (toe necrosis: TN, non-healing white line disease: nhWLD, and a non-healing sole ulcer: nhSU), and the newly added entity non-healing verrucous-like lesions (nhVLL), 16S rRNA-based metagenomic analysis with next-generation sequencing (NGS) was employed.

A twenty-year-old female saddle horse was referred for evaluation of a seven month, non-healing erosive lesion of the right hind hoof with proliferation and bleeding of the underlying soft tissues. This lesion had been twice surgically treated as a canker but rapidly recurred. Histological examination of the second excision revealed a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma.

Non-healing white line disease (nhWLD) and sole ulcers (nhSU) are seen increasingly in herds endemically affected with bovine digital dermatitis (BDD). In 35 cows with 42 nhWLD or nhSU lesions, the healing process was monitored for up to 28 or 38 days following extensive debridement of loose horn and infected corium under regional anaesthesia, and topical application of tetracycline spray with bandaging. By 28 days, 27/42 (64%) nhWLD and nhSU were completely covered by a new horn layer and this increased to 30/42 (71%) that had healed by 38 days.
