Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the placement effectiveness of the V-gel Advanced (V-gel-A) in cats during controlled ventilation using CT scans, comparing it with endotracheal tube placement.
  • Twenty healthy cats underwent CT scans at different stages: baseline, after V-gel-A placement, after 5 minutes of controlled mechanical ventilation, and after endotracheal tube insertion, assessing position and gas distribution.
  • Results showed that the V-gel-A was mostly well-positioned, with a high success rate at first attempt; however, it sometimes failed to completely occlude the esophagus, potentially affecting tracheal selectivity.

A 6-year-old castrated, mixed breed cat presented with vomiting, anorexia, and lethargy. Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed a round, well-marginated structure closely associated with the ileum proximal to the ileocolic junction. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a mass originating from the distal end of the ileum, close to the ileocolic junction.

The gastrointestinal (GI) organs of the human body are responsible for transporting and extracting nutrients from food and drink, as well as excreting solid waste. Biomechanical experimentation of the GI organs provides insight into the mechanisms involved in their normal physiological functions, as well as understanding of how diseases can cause disruption to these. Additionally, experimental findings form the basis of all finite element (FE) modelling of these organs, which have a wide array of applications within medicine and engineering.

Cancer is the leading cause of death in dogs and cats. Early diagnosis of cancer is critical for effective treatment and improving survival rates. Nematode-NOSE (N-NOSE) is a commercially available non-invasive human cancer screening test that uses the sense of smell of the nematode showing a distinct chemotactic response toward the urine of an individual with cancer compared to healthy ones.
