Postoperative results of 113 unilateral and 77 bilateral extracapsular cataract extractions (EC-CEs) in dogs were evaluated retrospectively. Restoration or improvement of functional vision was achieved in 79.6% of the eyes in dogs with unilateral extraction and 85.7% of the eyes in dogs with bilateral extractions at weeks 4 to 6. Complications occurring 6 weeks to 9 months after lens extraction lessened the surgical success rate in both groups. Twenty-six percent of the dogs in which bilateral lens removal was performed suffered complications resulting in surgical failure in one eye. When using the criterion that one or both treated eyes had functional vision, a short-term success rate of 98.7% was found for bilateral extractions.

Inherited non-syndromic polydactyly in a Berber and Arabian-Berber horse family.

Background: Supernumerary digits, or polydactyly, have been described in various species including humans, wild and domestic animals. In horses, it represents the most common congenital limb malformation, which has only been described in isolated cases or nuclear families. Molecular aetiology has not been reported.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the incidence of radiological adjacent segment disease (R-ASD) at L3/4 between patients with L4/5 degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) who underwent L4/5 posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and those who underwent microscopic bilateral decompression via a unilateral approach (MBDU) at L4/5. Our ultimate goal was to distinguish the course of natural lumbar degeneration from fusion-related degeneration while eliminating L4/5 decompression as a confounder.
Methods: Ninety patients with L4/5 DS who underwent L4/5 PLIF (n = 53) or MBDU (n = 37) and were followed for at least 5 years were retrospectively analyzed.
Effectiveness of Space Maintainers in Pediatric Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Evaluating the effectiveness and survival rates of space maintainers is crucial for optimal pediatric dental care. The present study's goal is to evaluate the survival rate of different types of space maintainers-removable, fixed with a metal base, or fixed with a resin base-indicated for children as a consequence of premature loss of primary teeth. A systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA recommendations and was previously registered in PROSPERO under registration number: CRD42024534183.

Background: Perinatal brain injury is a leading cause of developmental disabilities, including cerebral palsy. However, further work is needed to understand early brain development in the presence of brain injury. In this case report, we examine the longitudinal neuromotor development of a term infant following a significant loss of right-hemispheric brain tissue due to a unilateral ischemic stroke.

In quiet standing, the central nervous system implements a pre-programmed ankle strategy of postural control to maintain upright balance and stability. This strategy comprises a synchronized common neural drive delivered to synergistically grouped muscles. This study evaluated connectivity between EMG signals of the unilateral and bilateral homologous muscle pairs of the lower legs during various standing balance conditions using magnitude-squared coherence (MSC).
