Significance Bioelectronic modulation of the autonomic nervous system innervating spleen represents a new therapeutic avenue. Studies in rodents suffer from limitation that stimulation parameters and anatomy are not directly applicable to humans. This work demonstrates translation biological mechanisms large animal model with similar anatomical, histological, functional characteristics for derivation human-relevant parameters. Here, we show scientific process translating bioelectronic...
Abstract Background Patient safety is essential in small animal anaesthesia. This study aimed to assess anaesthesia‐related deaths cats worldwide, identify risk and protective factors provide insights for clinical practice. Methods A prospective multicentre cohort of 14,962 from 198 veterinary centres across different countries was conducted. Data on deaths, premedication up 48 hours postextubation, were collected. Logistic regression used analyse patient demographics, American Society...
Quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is used to provide analgesia for abdominal surgery in humans. The aim of this study was assess an anaesthetic protocol involving the QLB canine ovariohysterectomy. Ten dogs were included. Anaesthetic consisted premedication with IM medetomidine (20 μg kg-1) and SC meloxicam (0.1 mg kg-1), induction propofol effect, maintenance sevoflurane oxygen/medical air. performed injecting 0.4 mL kg-1 0.25% bupivacaine/iohexol per side. Computed Tomography (CT) before...
To quantify and explore risk factors in dogs seen at primary care UK veterinary clinics for general anaesthetic (GA)/sedative-related death overall, addition to neuter-specific procedures.A nested case-control study within electronic patient record surveillance programme, VetCompass, including over 300 practices.A total of 157,318 undergoing GA/sedative events.Cases included events between January 2010 December 2013 with GA/sedative-related recorded 48 hours or 2 weeks the event.

Abstract Background Ensuring patient safety during small animal anaesthesia is crucial. This study aimed to assess anaesthetic‐related deaths in dogs globally, identify risks and protective factors inform clinical practice. Methods prospective cohort multicentric involved 55,022 from 405 veterinary centres across various countries. Data on anaesthesia‐related premedication 48 hours post‐extubation were collected. Logistic regression was used analyse demographics, American Society of...
Veterinary anaesthesia requires theoretical knowledge and quick decision-making skills. Traditional education may not adequately prepare students, while simulation-based learning enhances engagement skill development. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a Twine-based web system in improving experiential learning, engagement, retention, skills veterinary students. Five interactive clinical cases were developed using Twine, simulating realistic scenarios with decision points gamified...
Determining the cause of death in studies assessing mortality during small animal anesthesia poses challenges due to varying definitions anesthetic death, limited information, and differences evaluators' interpretations. This study aims establish interobserver agreement classifying anesthetized animals. The observational, retrospective, multicenter analyzed 432 deaths (83 cats 349 dogs). Data were collected from a database 55,022 dogs 14,962 cats, created investigate anesthetic-related these...
Abstract Background This study aimed to assess the feasibility of an ultrasound and nerve‐stimulator‐guided medial approach for a radial, ulnar, median musculocutaneous (RUMM) nerve injection in calves. Methods After sedation with 0.2 mg/kg xylazine intramuscularly 2 ketamine intravenously (IV), seven calves were positioned dorsal recumbency linear probe was placed transversally on aspect proximal third ohumerus. The radial (R) visualised adjacent deep brachial artery (MM) ulnar (U) nerves...
Non-invasive imaging techniques are undoubtedly the ideal methods for continuous monitoring of neural activity. One such method, fast electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has been developed over past decade in order to image action potentials with non-penetrating electrode arrays.The goal this study is two-fold. First, we present a detailed fabrication method silicone-based multiple arrays which can be used epicortical or cuff applications. Secondly, optimize material coatings achieve best...
Ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is a locoregional technique described in canine cadavers. The aim of this study was to assess modified approach QLB minimise potential complications such as abdominal organ puncture. Nine cadavers were included and positioned lateral recumbency. An ultrasound-guided performed on each side. probe placed the transverse position over lumbar muscles just caudal last rib, needle advanced in-plane from dorso-lateral ventro-medial. A volume 0.2 mL...
Sacrococcygeal epidural anaesthesia allows selective desensitisation of the sacral plexus. Ultrasound is used for guidance in human to facilitate sacrococcygeal injections. The aims this study were describe sonographic appearance region dogs and a technique performing injection at location under ultrasound guidance. In preliminary part four cadavers sonoanatomy space develop ultrasound-guided puncture technique. second phase was repeated general anaesthesia. all appeared as circular...
The past three years has seen the launch of a new World Health Organization (WHO) neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) roadmap, together with revised control and elimination guidelines.Across all, there is now clear emphasis on need to incorporate One approach, recognizing critical links between human animal health environment.Schistosomiasis, caused by Schistosoma spp.trematodes, NTD global medical veterinary importance, over 220 million people untold millions livestock currently infected.Its...
This study compared four methods to provide intraoperative analgesia during canine ovariohysterectomy in a veterinary teaching hospital. A retrospective was designed assess the nociceptive response, cardiorespiratory stability, quality of recovery and complications analgesic protocols: epidural (EPIDURAL group), Quadratus Lumborum block (QLB Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP just systemic (GENERAL group). Undergraduate students carried out all loco-regional techniques under direct supervision...
Abstract Otitis externa is a painful condition that may require surgical intervention in dogs. A balanced analgesia protocol should combine systemic analgesic agents and local anaesthesia techniques. The aim of the study was to find anatomical landmarks for great auricular auriculotemporal nerves transmit nociceptive information from ear pinna develop optimal technique nerve block. consisted two phases. In phase I, one fox cadaver used dissection localization derive needle insertion. Eight...
