AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated complications after cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) surgery in Boxers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers (SBT) compared to other breeds.
- Boxers exhibited significantly higher rates of overall complications (39.4%), major complications (30.3%), and revision surgeries (18.2%) than the control breed group.
- SBTs did not show increased complication rates compared to controls, but both Boxers and SBTs had higher complication rates when a specific surgical method (lateral fabello-tibial suture) was used, suggesting the need for breed-specific surgical approaches.
Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether Boxers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers (SBT) have a higher incidence of complications or a worse outcome after cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) surgery compared with control breeds.
Design: The design was a retrospective cohort study with data reviewed from medical records and outcome assessed by owner questionnaire.
Results: The cohort included 210 canine stifles comprising 33 Boxers, 47 SBTs and 130 controls. For Boxers, the overall complication rate (39.4%), major complication rate (30.3%) and revision surgery rates (18.2%) were significantly higher than those of the control groups (14.6%, 10.8% and 4.6%, respectively). Overall, SBTs were no more likely to suffer complications or repeat surgery than the control group. Considering only lateral fabello-tibial suture (LFS) stabilisation, both Boxers (32.0%) and SBTs (23.3%) had higher complication rates than the control group (6.3%). There were no significant differences in outcome among the Boxer, SBT and control groups; median follow-up time was 2 years (range 0.5-7 years).
Conclusions: The overall complication rate for Boxers undergoing CCL surgery was higher compared with other breeds of dog. When surgical techniques were analysed separately, the LFS was associated with a higher complication rate in Boxers and SBTs. Further investigation into breed-specific surgical techniques is indicated.

One of the primary challenges faced by small rubbing filament machines is the significant variability in material sizes, particularly in the feeding direction. This variability complicates the processing of locally baled straw with a single device. To address this issue, an adjustable feeding and bale-breaking device was developed and tested to enhance the filamentous performance of baled straw.

Introduction: Lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients who have chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased risk of complications following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there is a lack of literature that identifies eGFR levels those are associated with notable differences in risk of these complications. The purpose of this study was to create eGFR strata for CKD patients that are associated with varying risks of 90-day major complications following TKA.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) assisted bronchoscopy shows prospective advantages in diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs), but its diagnostic value and potential influencing factors remain unclear. What is the clinical value and optimal strategy of CBCT-assisted bronchoscopy in diagnosing PPLs? The references were searched from PubMed, EmBase, and Web of Science. Studies reporting diagnostic yield and potential influencing factors of CBCT-assisted bronchoscopy were included.
