Objective: To investigate video content on YouTube™ related to impacted canine and impacted canine surgery.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the term "impacted canine tooth" was searched on YouTube™. After excluding duplicates, irrelevant videos, non-English-language videos, no audio-no video contents, sixty-one videos were independently examined by 3 reviewers. Videos were categorized as "not useful", "slightly useful", "moderately useful", and "very useful" by using an 8-point score list for evaluating the value of the videos in providing patients information about impacted canine teeth and surgery. Chi-square test was performed for categorical variables and differences between groups were compared with Kruskal-Wallis. Correlations were analysed using Spearman test. Statistical significance was set P<0.05.
Results: Most of the videos, 42.6%, n=26 were uploaded by healthcare professionals [dentists, orthodontists, surgeons] and 29,5%, n=18 were uploaded by laypersons for sharing personal experiences. There were 3 [4.9%] not useful videos, 15 [24.5%] slightly useful videos, 27 [44.2%] moderately useful videos, and 16 [26.2%] very useful videos. There was no significant difference between the viewing rate according to the source of upload [P=0.398>0.05]. There was a significant difference between the interaction index according to the source of upload. This difference was in the laypersons and the others [.033<05].
Conclusion: Healthcare specialists should be aware of the content of the video-sharing platforms and direct their patients to correct and reliable e-information resources.

Background: Post-ictal (PI) clinical signs are a key defining stage of seizure manifestation in dogs. However, this phase remains poorly understood.
Objectives: To further characterize PI signs and their relation to other parts of a seizure, and understand the owner's perception of how PI signs affect the quality of life (QOL) of the dog.

With advancements in veterinary care and the growing recognition of pets as integral member of the family, the lifespans of dogs and cats have significantly increased, leading to a higher prevalence of age-related conditions, including cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS). CDS adversely impacts pets' quality of life and presents emotional and practical challenges for owners. Given its similarities to Alzheimer's disease in humans, CDS has gained attention as a target for nutrition-based interventions aimed at preserving cognitive function.

This study aims to review and analyze the impact of light-emitting diode (LED) photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy on orthodontic tooth movement. This non-invasive technique is proposed to reduce time-related side effects, such as white spot lesions, dental caries, and root resorption. Five studies were included in the review, comprising two animal studies (ages 10 and 12 weeks) and three human studies (ages ranging from 15 to 17 years).

Introduction: The complexity of treating impacted maxillary canines varies based on their angulation and position within the dental arch. The aim of this research was to compare the mesiodistal angulation of maxillary canines according to their impaction sector.
Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated 229 impacted maxillary canines in 171 panoramic radiographs from two private radiology centres in Uruguay and Chile of individuals of both sexes aged 11 years and older with impacted maxillary canines.
Objective: To assess the effect of hemodilution on PCV when commercial preheparinized venous blood gas (PH-VBG) syringes are used compared to directly filled Hct tubes, and to evaluate the impact of delayed centrifugation on PCV.
Methods: A prospective study of 102 dogs presenting to a private emergency department between November 1, 2023, and February 29, 2024, with 306 corresponding blood samples. Samples were collected by direct venipuncture.
