An important part of anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis treatment is prompt detection and removal of any associated ovarian teratoma, regardless of size. High-resolution transvaginal ultrasonography followed by targeted CT with adaptive iterative dose reduction (AIDR) is a useful strategy for distinguishing small ovarian teratomas from luteal cysts during pregnancy.

Objective: To compare the use of intraoperative urethrocystoscopy with postoperative retrograde positive-contrast urethrocystography in male dogs undergoing open cystotomy for urolithiasis and evaluate the efficacy of urethrocystoscopy as an alternative for assessing complete urolith removal.

Methods: This retrospective matched case-control study included 54 male dogs that underwent open cystotomy for urolithiasis between January 2018 and July 2024. Intraoperative urethrocystoscopy was performed in 18 dogs (case group), while postoperative contrast urethrocystography was used in 36 dogs (control group).

In environmental management area, quality of water is a major growing concern with the emerging contaminants such as pesticides and pharmaceuticals likely to be present at low concentrations in water bodies, thereby potentially harming the ecosystem and human health. Diclofenac (DCF), a commonly used drug, has been found in wastewater, surface water, and drinking water sources, whose elimination can be a challenge issue. This study investigates the elimination of DCF by the photochemical method from aqueous media using short-wavelength radiation and hydrogen peroxide.
