Published: August 1987

Cecal volvulus in a dairy cow with vascular compromise of the proximal portion of the ascending colon was corrected surgically with preservation of the ileocecocolic junction. Partial cecectomy was combined with resection of the proximal portion of the ascending colon and anastomosis of the remaining cecum to the distal portion of the ascending colon. The procedure was done with the use of mechanical suturing devices while the cow was standing. Previously, general anesthesia and relocation of the ileocecocolic junction had been suggested.

Consensus on removing a part of the helical cartilage during preauricular sinus surgery is lacking. A thorough understanding of the histopathological characteristics can improve surgical decisions. We reviewed the histopathological characteristics of preauricular sinuses in 54 patients who underwent surgery between October 2020 and October 2021.

Granule cells of the cerebellum make up to 175,000 excitatory synapses on a single Purkinje cell, encoding the wide variety of information from the mossy fibre inputs into the cerebellar cortex. The granule cell axon is made of an ascending portion and a long parallel fibre extending at right angles, an architecture suggesting that synapses formed by the two segments of the axon could encode different information. There are controversial indications that ascending axon (AA) and parallel fibre (PF) synapse properties and modalities of plasticity are different.

In endovascular therapy, the induction and stable placement of the guiding catheter (GC) are not only the initial steps but also crucial techniques influencing treatment success. However, in some cases, GC induction is challenging due to variations in the aortic arch or tortuosity of the blood vessels. In the present case, endovascular therapy was carried out for a ruptured aneurysm in the dorsal portion of the left internal carotid artery.
