Cell therapy has been a promising strategy for cardiac repair after injury or infarction; however, low retention and engraftment of transplanted cells limit potential therapeutic efficacy. Seeding scaffold material with to create patches that are onto the surface heart can overcome these limitations. However, because need be freshly prepared maintain cell viability, long-term storage is not feasible limits clinical applicability. Here, we developed an off-the-shelf patch composed...
Abstract Objective To evaluate IV indocyanine green (ICG) near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging to identify normal canine parathyroid tissue. Methods A cumulative effect study followed by a dose evaluation with 8 purpose-bred dogs was performed from February through April 2023. Dogs were randomized receive ICG at 0.2, 0.3, or 0.4 mg/kg after the thyroid and glands exposed. NIRF endoscope positioned cm above thyroid-parathyroid complex obtained images. Subjective objective measures of...
To evaluate the frequencies of in-hospital complications and survival to discharge in dogs with surgically placed gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes) assess association between G-tube primary disease, serum albumin concentration, plasma total protein concentration. A retrospective multicenter study was performed at two university teaching hospitals January 2010 December 2020, including 133 G-tubes. Nine (6.7%) experienced a complication associated G-tube. The most common stoma site...
To describe the syndrome of suspected gastroduodenal ulceration/erosion (GUE) in dogs with intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (IHPSS) before and after percutaneous transvenous coil embolization (PTCE). In a multi-institutional, retrospective case series, medical records from 7 specialty hospitals were reviewed to identify IHPSS diagnosed GUE prior or following PTCE July 31, 2013, August 1, 2023. Eleven client-owned divided into 2 groups based on ulcer grade as determined by Veterinary...
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to report the effects COVID‐19 pandemic on childcare responsibilities, mental health, and professional relationships small animal surgeons. Study design Voluntary, non‐incentivized, anonymized 40‐question internet survey deployed November 2021–February 2022. Sample population A total 333 completed surveys from veterinary surgeons residents in USA. Methods Respondents provided information regarding demographics, family composition, childcare,...
The vascularized cardiac patch strategy is promising for ischemic heart repair after myocardial infarction (MI), but current fabrication processes are quite complicated. Vascularized patches that can promote concurrent restoration of both the myocardium and vasculature at injured site in a large animal model remain elusive. safety therapeutic benefits stromal cell integrated with engineered biomimetic microvessels (BMVs) were determined treating MI. By leveraging microfluidic method...
To provide updated information on the distribution of histopathologic types primary pulmonary neoplasia in dogs and evaluate effect postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with carcinoma.340 dogs.Medical records that underwent lung lobectomy for removal a mass were reviewed, type lesions was determined. The canine carcinoma stage classification system used to determine clinical carcinoma.Pulmonary most frequently encountered tumor (296/340 [87.1%]), followed by sarcoma (26 [7.6%]), adenoma (11...
Canine congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (EHPSS) morphologies have not been fully elucidated. The goal of this retrospective, multi-institutional study was to use CT angiography create an anatomical-based nomenclature system for canine EHPSS. These were then evaluated identify any significant association with patient age, sex, breed, weight, or subjective portal perfusion score. Data collected respectively from the SVSTS and VIRIES list-serves included DOB, date, reported...
To report the intestinal incisional dehiscence rate following enterotomy for foreign body removal in dogs.247 client-owned dogs with bodies treated between November 2001 and September 2017.Medical records were reviewed, data collected regarding signalment, history, surgery, clinicopathologic findings, hospitalization, dehiscence, survival to hospital discharge. Dogs grouped according whether occurred (dehiscence group) or did not occur (nondehiscence enterotomy, of total number enterotomies...
Abstract Objective —To investigate the effects of bevacizumab, a human monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor, on angiogenesis and canine osteosarcoma cells xenografted in mice. Animals —27 athymic nude Procedures each mouse, highly metastasizing parent origin were injected into left gastrocnemius muscle. Each mouse was then randomly allocated to 1 3 treatment groups: high-dose bevacizumab (4 mg/kg, IP), low-dose (2 or control (no treatment). Tumor (the number days...
To describe the sleep patterns, working hours, and perceptions of fatigue among veterinary house officers to identify potential areas for targeted intervention improve well-being.303 officers.A 62-item questionnaire was generated by use an online platform sent at participating institutions via email. Responses were analyzed trends associations between variables interest.The mean age respondents 30 ± 3.7 years. Participants included 239 residents 64 interns. House slept significantly less...
