A 3-year-old neutered male boxer dog presented with a 6-month history of a waxing and waning mass of the left dorsotemporal eyelid margin. Cytology and biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of mast cell neoplasia. Systemic staging of the dog failed to reveal any evidence of metastatic neoplasia. Owing to the location of the tumor within the eyelid margin and the wide surgical margins recommended for excision of mast cell tumors, Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) was chosen for its potential to conserve tissues while providing intraoperative confirmation the tumor was completely excised. Utilizing MMS horizontal sectioning technique, 100% of the surgical margins were assessed prior to closure of the surgical wound. This represents the first time a comprehensive MMS protocol was used in a veterinary patient under general anesthesia.

Prescription-event monitoring (PEM) is the current gold standard for determining the risk of rare drug side-effects and comparing the risk between agents; however, spontaneous or prompted reporting schemes have low case-detection rates and exposure may be difficult to estimate. A novel method is described that allows a comparative adverse event rate between two drugs to be estimated-based on patterns of cross-reactivity-requiring only a sample of cases and no direct knowledge of drug exposure rates. Agreement was compared between the novel method and historical estimates of risk using PEM for comparative risk of rocuronium versus vecuronium anaphylaxis.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, pruritic skin disease characterized by inflammation and skin lesion cornification. While the use of corticosteroids like dexamethasone (DXM), an antiinflammatory drug, improves symptoms temporarily and quickly, this use is not a cure. Thus, we aimed to identify a new therapeutic strategy for AD using quantum molecular resonance (QMR), a novel non-invasive technique with an electromagnetic field-based therapeutic approach as an alternative to pain killers.

Allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) has been a longstanding treatment for allergic diseases. Historically, subcutaneous immunotherapy was the main approach, but with the development of sublingual preparations, which are associated with fewer systemic side effects, sublingual immunotherapy is gaining global popularity. In Japan, the approval of standardized sublingual immunotherapy preparations in 2014 has significantly accelerated its adoption.
