Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate the periodontal status of palatally and buccally impacted canines exposed with closed technique, and to compare them with the controlateral canines that served as control teeth as well as to compare them each other.

Methods: 28 patients, 14 with unilateral palatally impacted canines and 14 with unilateral buccally impacted canines comprised the subjects of the study. Mean recall observational period was 2 years 4 months ± 1 year 1 month. Closed eruption technique without the tunnel was performed to expose both the palatally and the buccally impacted canines. Six periodontal variables were considered: probing pocket depth (PPD); width of keratinized tissue (KT); gingival thickness (GT); plaque index (PI); gingival bleeding index (GBI); gingival recession (REC).

Results: Palatally impacted canines exhibited significant greater PPD on the mesiolingual site compared to their controlaterals (P<0.05). Buccally impacted canines had significant increased KT compared to their contralaterals (P<0.05). Palatally impacted canines had significant greater PPD on the midbuccal site and on all the palatal sites when compared to the buccally impacted canines (P<0.05).

Conclusion: The changes observed in the periodontal status of impacted canines, although statistically significant, did not reach clinical significance.

Introduction: Chronic disease is generally known to affect dogs' quality of life (QoL) as well as being associated with increased strain on their owners. Gastrointestinal (GI) disease is a common problem in companion animal practice, yet little is known about the QoL of dogs with chronic enteropathy (CE) and how their owners and veterinarians assess it.

Methods: The aim of this study was to explore: (i) how dog owners and veterinarians observed and evaluated QoL for dogs with chronic GI disease, (ii) how having a dog with CE affected the owner's QoL, and (iii) characteristics of the communication and relationship between the dog owner and veterinarian.

Does perioperative electroacupuncture reduce postoperative pain in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy?

Front Vet Sci

January 2025

Department for Clinical Diagnostics and Services, Section of Anaesthesiology, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the analgesic efficacy of perioperative electroacupuncture in fifty-six healthy female dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy as part of a catch-neuter-release project.

Materials And Methods: Ten minutes after sedation with 20 μg/kg medetomidine combined with 0.3 mg/kg butorphanol intramuscularly, the dogs were randomly allocated into two groups and received either electroacupuncture (EA, = 27) or sham acupuncture (C, = 29) treatment for 10 min (after sedation until the end of the surgery) at 6 different acupuncture points LI-4 (Large intestine 4), LIV-3 (Liver 3), ST-36 (Stomach 36), SP-6 (Spleen 6) bilateral.

There are a variety of surgical conditions impacting the canine vagina and vestibule that require access through a caudal approach. A standard vertical episiotomy involves making an incision beginning ventral to the anus and extending ventrally through the dorsal commissure of the vulva and into the lumen of the vestibule and distal vagina. The objective of this study was to determine if complex vaginal procedures could be performed via a transverse perineal approach, thus eliminating the need to incise and reconstruct the vulva as performed in a standard episiotomy, and to evaluate the feasibility of vaginal resection with vulvar-sparing vestibular urethrostomy using this transverse approach.

Background: Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are recognized for their therapeutic potential in immune modulation and tissue repair, especially in veterinary medicine. This study introduces an innovative sequential stimulation (IVES) technique, involving low-oxygen gas mixture preconditioning using in vitro fertilization gas (IVFG) and direct current electrical stimulation (ES20), to enhance the anti-inflammatory properties of sEVs from canine adipose-derived MSCs (cAD-MSCs). Initial steps involved isolation and comprehensive characterization of cAD-MSCs, including morphology, gene expression, and differentiation potentials, alongside validation of the electrical stimulation protocol.
