Background: Common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) have been widely used as laboratory animals; However, limited sedation and anesthetic protocols have yet to be established. In this study, the minimum alveolar concentration of an inhalant (isoflurane) and effective predicted plasma concentration of an injectable anesthetic (propofol) were measured for optimization of sedation and anesthetic protocols in marmosets.

Methods: The minimum alveolar concentrations (MACs) for several stimulations (nociceptive stimulation, endotracheal intubation, and non-painful direct stimulation), MAC-noci, MAC-extb, and MAC-awake, respectively, were measured for isoflurane with the up-and-down method from four healthy marmosets. Predicted plasma concentrations 50 (Cp50s), which are equivalent to MACs of isoflurane, Cp50-noci, Cp50-extb, and Cp50-awake, respectively, were measured for propofol.

Results: MAC-noci and MAC-extb of isoflurane in marmosets were 1.91% and 1.38%, respectively. MAC-awake was not determined owing to technical difficulties. Cp50-noci, Cp50-extb, and Cp50-awake were 9.45, 7.21, and 3.54 μg/mL, respectively.

Conclusions: The obtained results refined existing isoflurane and propofol for sedation and anesthesia in marmosets.

Background: Peri-implantitis represents a significant challenge in dental implantology, characterized by inflammatory reactions around osseointegrated dental implants that lead to progressive alveolar bone loss.

Objectives: To generate a scoping review that evaluates the efficacy of implantoplasty and Er:YAG laser therapies in managing peri-implantitis by synthesizing recent evidence on their impact on key clinical parameters-including probing depth reduction, bleeding on probing improvement, and marginal bone level stabilization-and to explore the potential synergistic benefits of combining these modalities for enhanced treatment outcomes.

Material And Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for studies published from January 2018 to the present.

Background: Primary pulmonary rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a rare soft tissue sarcoma, is characterized by a high recurrence rate and a poor prognosis. This systematic review aims to summarize the clinical characteristics, pathological features, treatment, and clinical outcomes of primary pulmonary RMS, and to analyze prognostic-related risk factors to provide robust evidence for future treatment strategies.

Methods: Five databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, and Web of Science) were searched using the relevant terms including "pulmonary", "lung", "alveolar", "ERMS", "ARMS", "RMS" and "rhabdomyosarcoma".

Background: While generally harmless to dogs, the cestode species Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis have significant zoonotic importance, causing cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis in humans, respectively. Regular deworming is essential to treat intestinal cestode infections in dogs and to reduce environmental egg contamination and thus the subsequent zoonotic risk of infection to intermediate hosts and humans. The studies described here evaluated the efficacy of a new novel chewable tablet combination containing lotilaner, moxidectin, praziquantel and pyrantel (Credelio Quattro, Elanco Animal Health) against E.

Neuroscience research has been increasingly active during the last 2 decades, largely driven by the high prevalence and increasing burden of neurologic disorders. While rodents are essential models for biomedical research of neurologic disorders, they lack similar brain anatomy and protein expression profiles to humans, thus limiting their translational value as models of traumatic brain injury, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. The use of ferrets as a model species in neuroscience has been increasing due to their neuroanatomical similarities with humans, including a gyrencephalic brain and larger white matter-to-gray matter ratio.

Background: Human studies of awakening from general anesthesia inform understanding of neural mechanisms underlying recovery of consciousness. Probability distributions of times for emergence from anesthesia provide mechanistic information on whether putative biological models are generalizable. Previously reported distributions involved nonhomogenous groups, unsuitable for scientific comparisons.
