Cardiothoracic procedures require continuous hemodynamic monitoring and a fair proportion of these require the insertion of a pulmonary artery catheter, known also as Swan-Ganz catheter. Given, however, the invasive nature of these procedures, unforeseen complications may ensue. Early recognition and appropriate handling are essential to minimize adverse outcomes.

Friction knot terminology is inconsistent in veterinary surgery.

Can J Vet Res

January 2025

Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama 36849 USA (Wahlborg, Hofmeister); Bluffton Animal Hospital, Bluffton, South Carolina 29910 USA (Grandprey); College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Arizona, Oro Valley, Arizona 85721, USA (Shaver).

The objective of this study was to determine the nomenclature for friction knots commonly used by veterinary surgeons. Veterinary surgeons certified by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) or the European College of Veterinary Surgeons (ECVS) were recruited through email listings available on the websites of veterinary schools and the ACVS to participate in a survey on this subject. Participation was also solicited through the ACVS Facebook page, the Society of Veterinary Soft Tissue Surgery, and the Veterinary Orthopedic Society.

(Un)Tying the Knot: Oxidative Stress, Inflammatory Markers, and Lipid Status in Dogs with Hypercortisolism.

Animals (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Pathophysiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Belgrade, Bulevar Oslobođenja 18, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia.

The aim of this study was to revisit the complex relationship between inflammation, oxidative stress and lipid metabolism in dogs with hypercortisolism (HC). Fourteen dogs newly diagnosed with HC and an equal number of healthy counterparts of similar age and markers of oxidative stress (AOPP, TBARS, TAC, GSH, PON-1, and UA) and inflammation (NLR, PLR, SII, HPT, CHE, CP, and Hcy) were included in the study. To determine the lipid profiles, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels were measured, and the electrophoretic separation of lipoproteins was performed.

Introduction: According to current clinical practice, a minimum of 7 knots are required to provide secure hold in high-strength sutures. A new technology featuring a suture tape with a salt-infused silicon core has been recently developed, potentially reducing the number of needed knots.

Aims: to (1) assess the influence of number of knots on tape security, (2) evaluate the effect of different ambient conditions on knot security, and (3) compare the biomechanical competence of the novel versus a conventional suture tape.

Laparoscopic surgery, established in the 1980s, has become a primary treatment method across various surgical specialities due to its advantages over open surgery, including shorter recovery times and fewer complications. Mastery of laparoscopic skills is essential for novice and junior trainees, who must develop hand-eye coordination, depth perception, and instrument handling. This systematic review examines the learning curves of novices using box trainers compared to those using virtual reality (VR) simulators to attain proficiency in laparoscopic skills.

Article Synopsis
  • Laparoscopy surgery introduces challenges like fatigue that can impact surgeons' performance, necessitating a study to understand fatigue's effects on surgical precision and safety.
  • This research involves 29 surgical residents and focuses on how general fatigue affects their performance during training exercises, evaluating criteria such as movement quality, muscle activation, and perceived workload.
  • The study is ethically approved and aims to publish its findings in scientific journals and present them at international conferences to enhance future research.
