Canine ventral atlantoaxial (AA) stabilization is most commonly performed in very small dogs and technically challenging due to extremely narrow bone corridors. Multiple implantation sites have been suggested but detailed anatomical studies investigating these are lacking therefore current surgical guidelines based upon approximate landmarks. In order study AA optimal safe corridors (OSICs), we developed a method on computed tomography (CT) semi-automated three-dimensional (3D) mathematical...
Abstract Background Although the presence of seizures in dogs with meningoencephalitis unknown origin (MUO) has been associated shorter survival times, data regarding prevalence and risk factors for postencephalitic epilepsy (PEE) is lacking. Objectives To describe clinical features, prevalence, factors, long‐term outcome PEE MUO. Animals Sixty‐one presumptive diagnosis MUO based on clinicopathological diagnostic imaging findings. Methods Retrospective study. Cases were identified by search...
A 10-year-old neutered male domestic shorthair cat presented for evaluation of acute onset paraplegia with loss nociception and thoracolumbar spine hyperesthesia no history trauma. Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) was markedly prolonged, specific coagulation factor testing revealed a IX level 4% normal activity, confirming the presence mild hemophilia B. Prior abnormal bleeding had occurred at castration as kitten, well laceration to toe. Advanced imaging, including computed...
Abstract Objectives Ventral atlantoaxial stabilization techniques are challenging surgical procedures in dogs. Available guidelines based upon subjective anatomical landmarks, and limited radiographic computed tomographic data. The aims of this study were (1) to provide detailed descriptions optimal safe implantation corridors generate objective recommendations for implant placements (2) compare data obtained non-affected Toy breed dogs, affected dogs suffering from instability Beagle...
Objectives Canine ventral atlantoaxial stabilization methods have been constantly evolving over the past few decades. Yet, proper experimental data comparing feasibility and biomechanical properties of currently available surgical options are lacking. The aims this study were (1) to describe compare safety profiles three methods; (2) test whether recently reported optimal implant definitions constitute reasonable guidelines. Methods Three types including trans-articular screw fixation (TSF)...
Dorsal atlantoaxial stabilisation (DAAS) has mostly been described to treat instability using low stiffness constructs in dogs. The aim of this study was assess the feasibility and surgical outcome a rigid cemented DAAS technique bone corridors that have not previously reported. medical records 12 consecutive dogs treated with were retrospectively reviewed. method involved bi-cortical screws placed at least four eight available corridors, embedded polymethylmethacrylate. Screw placement...
In this study, a municipal lagoon with high wintertime effluent total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) concentrations was upgraded pilot-scale NIT-NIT-DENIT moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) treatment train to characterize its over operation, investigate the feasibility of upgrading lagoons achieve substantial biological removal across ultra-low temperatures (0.6 – 3.0°C) and nitrification inhibition pathways in facultative systems at temperatures. Throughout it observed that system substantially...
IntroductionA 7-month-old 20.4-kg sexually intact male Hungarian Vizsla was referred for evaluation because of a 1-month history nonprogressive ataxia affecting all 4 limbs with no signs pain or discomfort. General physical examination findings were unremarkable apart from marked scuffing the claws limbs.AssessmentAnatomic diagnosisFor proprioceptive and ambulatory tetraparesis, C1-C5 C6-T2 myelopathy could be considered on basis gait findings. Given normal muscle tone segmental spinal...
