Objective: To (1) describe a surgical technique for repair of lacerations of the ventral aspect of the cervix in anesthetized mares in Trendelenburg position; and (2) report conception rates and foaling after repair.
Study Design: Case series.
Animals: Mares (n = 18).
Methods: Cervical lacerations were repaired in 2 layers with anesthetized mares in Trendelenburg position. The cervix was retracted caudally with stay-sutures, and after excision of the healed margin of the laceration, the internal cervical mucosa and fibromuscular tissue were sutured in 1 layer with a continuous Lembert pattern. The external cervical mucosa was sutured using a simple-continuous suture pattern. Number of foals produced by each mare before and after surgical repair was obtained from client/farm communication and from a commercial record keeping service.
Results: Mean repair time for 1 laceration was 22 minutes and for 2 lacerations was 29 minutes. Nine mares conceived and 7 had at least 1 live healthy foal.
Conclusion: Trendelenburg position allows for efficient repair of a ventrally located cervical laceration in anesthetized mares.

Unexpectedly detected air bubbles in left ventricle during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: a case report.

Background: Unlike on-pump beating coronary artery bypass grafting, off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) rarely causes intracardiac air embolisms. However, there have been several reports of air embolisms that occurred during OPCAB using a CO blower, which is commonly used to facilitate visualization of the anastomotic site. Herein, we describe a rare case of air bubbles detected only in the left ventricle during OPCAB.

Percutaneous cystolithotomy (PCCL) is a minimally-invasive technique for removal of cystoliths. There is currently no information regarding optimum patient positioning during PCCL. The objective of this study was to assess whether patient positioning affected ease of cystolith retrieval via PCCL.

We previously observed a range of whole muscle and individual slow and fast myofiber size responses (mean: +4 to -24%) in quadriceps (vastus lateralis) and triceps surae (soleus) muscles of individuals undergoing 70 days of simulated microgravity with or without the NASA SPRINT exercise countermeasures program. The purpose of the current investigation was to further explore, in these same individuals, the content of myonuclei and satellite cells, both of which are key regulators of skeletal muscle mass. Individuals completed 6° head-down-tilt bedrest (BR, n=9), bedrest with resistance and aerobic exercise (BRE, n=9), or bedrest with resistance and aerobic exercise and low-dose testosterone (BRE+T, n=8).

Purpose: Intraoperative traction can improve deformity correction during posterior spinal fusion (PSF). This is commonly done with invasive distal femoral or pelvic pins, or traction boots. The novel technique of intraoperative skin traction (ISkinT) avoids risks associated with intraoperative skeletal traction (ISkelT) or hyperlordosis with extended hip position.
