Granulomatous infection of parotid gland and its subcutaneous tissue by Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies massiliense in a 3-year-old child.

Acid fast bacilli positive granulomatous infections by non-tubrerculous mycobacteria are often misdiagnosed as tuberculosis. We present a case of parotid gland infection and abscess in the subcutaneous tissue over the gland which was suspected as tuberculosis by ultrasonogram and histopathology examinations. Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies massiliense was isolated and identified.

Background: Tonsillar carcinomas are rarely reported in dogs. Information on outcome after treatment is sparse and prognosis is guarded to poor.

Hypothesis/objectives: Assess treatment outcome and potential prognostic factors in a population of dogs with cytological or histopathological diagnosis of tonsillar carcinoma.

Computed tomographic findings in dogs with multiple myeloma.

Background: Computed tomography (CT) is considered the first-line imaging modality for human patients with suspected multiple myeloma (MM). Recently the diagnostic criteria for human MM have been updated.

Objectives: To describe and provide a baseline of the CT features and distribution of osseous lesions in dogs diagnosed with MM and to describe the change of initial osseous lesions after the start of treatment in a subset of dogs.

Short- to mid-term outcome and complications of closing tibial wedge osteotomy using anatomically contoured locking compression plates in small to medium breed dogs.

The objective of this retrospective case series was to report overall peri-operative complications, short- to mid-term outcome, and owner satisfaction of closing tibial wedge osteotomy (CTWO) using locking compression plates, in dogs weighing ≤ 20 kg, for the treatment of cranial cruciate ligament disease. Medical records from 2015 to 2020 were reviewed for surgical technique, intraoperative findings, and complications. Pre- and postoperative radiographs were evaluated for healing, complications, and tibial plateau angles (TPAs).

Evaluation of Drain Insertion After Appendicectomy for Complicated Appendicitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the comparative outcomes of drain insertion versus no drain after appendicectomy for complicated appendicitis. A systematic search of PubMed, Cochrane Library and Scopus was conducted, and all studies comparing drain versus no drain after appendicectomy for complicated appendicitis were included. Abdominal collection, surgical site infection (SSI), bowel obstruction, faecal fistula, paralytic ileus, length of hospital stay (LOS) and mortality were the evaluated outcome parameters for the meta-analysis.

Serum anti-GM2 and anti-GalNAc-GD1a ganglioside IgG antibodies are biomarkers for immune-mediated polyneuropathies in cats.

Recent work identified anti-GM2 and anti-GalNAc-GD1a IgG ganglioside antibodies as biomarkers in dogs clinically diagnosed with acute canine polyradiculoneuritis, in turn considered a canine equivalent of Guillain-Barré syndrome. This study aims to investigate the serum prevalence of similar antibodies in cats clinically diagnosed with immune-mediated polyneuropathies. The sera from 41 cats clinically diagnosed with immune-mediated polyneuropathies (IPN), 9 cats with other neurological or neuromuscular disorders (ONM) and 46 neurologically normal cats (CTRL) were examined for the presence of IgG antibodies against glycolipids GM1, GM2, GD1a, GD1b, GalNAc-GD1a, GA1, SGPG, LM1, galactocerebroside and sulphatide.

Diagnostic radiography students' perceptions towards communication with service users who are deaf or hearing impaired.

Introduction: Communication issues can arise when deaf or hearing impaired individuals access National Health Service (NHS) radiology services if reasonable adjustments and inclusive services are not facilitated. This study aims to assess student diagnostic radiographers' attitudes and communication experience with service users who are deaf or hearing impaired.

Methods: An anonymous online survey was conducted on UK undergraduate diagnostic radiography students from a single university.

Incidence of acute haemolysis in cats receiving canine packed red blood cells (xenotransfusions).

Objectives: The aim of this study was to report the incidence of transfusion reactions in cats, including acute haemolysis (AH), occurring within 24 h of receiving a xenotransfusion. An additional aim was to determine whether cases with AH could be classified as having an acute haemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR) as per the definition provided by the Association of Veterinary Haematology and Transfusion Medicine's Transfusion Reaction Small Animal Consensus Statement.

Methods: Medical records of cats that received canine packed red blood cells (PRBCs) between July 2018 and September 2020 at a veterinary hospital were reviewed.

Investing in the Academic Writing: Training Future Reviewers and Sustaining Efficient and Quality Peer Review.

Peer reviewers are considered gatekeepers in academic writing who play a pivotal and essential role during the publication process. Excellent manuscripts invariably need excellent reviewers. Producing peer reviewers with such caliber is time-consuming albeit necessary for the progress and continuity of academia.

"Assisted vaginal birth using the Paily obstetric forceps vs Ventouse - A randomized clinical trial".

Objective: Instruments used in assisted vaginal birth have seen little innovation for decades. Due to the risk of trauma and technical difficulty incurred during forceps delivery, instrumental deliveries are on a decline, and the global rate of primary cesarean birth is rising. The novel Paily Obstetric Forceps (POF) features a compact, lighter design with thinner blades, designed to increase operator comfort and minimize maternal and neonatal injuries.

An unusual case of a traumatic splenic rupture masquerading as myocardial ischemia: a case report.

Background: The spleen is one of the most frequently injured abdominal organs during trauma, which can result in intraperitoneal bleeding of life-threatening magnitude. Although splenic injury secondary to trivial trauma comprises a minor fraction of abdominal injuries, undiagnosed or delayed diagnosis may result in a complicated clinical course.

Case Presentation: One such event is presented here, wherein a late diagnosis of an advanced grade splenic injury following a trivial trauma initially presented in disguise as acute myocardial ischaemia in a previously healthy South Asian woman in her late 30s.

Bruxism in awake dogs as a clinical sign of forebrain disease: 4 cases.

Background: Bruxism is a repetitive masticatory muscle activity characterized by clenching or grinding of the teeth, or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible, or both.

Objectives: To investigate whether bruxism in awake dogs could be associated with brain lesions.

Animals: Four dogs with episodic bruxism in the awake state.

A Comparison of the Celiacomesenteric Trunk in the Caribbean with Global Prevalence Calculated by a Systematic Review.

Background: Typically, the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery branch off separately from the anterior aspect of the abdominal aorta. The celiacomesenteric trunk (CMT) is a rare variant in which those arteries share a common origin. We sought to compare the prevalence of CMT in the Caribbean with the global prevalence as calculated by a systematic review.
