... To explore the efficacy of microwave ablation (MWA) in the treatment of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) with a diameter of ≤5 cm. From June 2014 to January 2020, patients diagnosed with HAE were retrospectively analyzed. After balancing the confounding factors by propensity score matching (PSM) , the patients were divided into MWA group (n = 20) and radical operation group (n = 20) by 1:1 ma ...
... The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Care System improves patient outcomes. The ERAS Protocol describes multimodal, evidence‐based processes that are bundled into >20 care elements, and the ERAS Implementation Program provides strategies to guide the successful adoption of the care elements. Although formal training is essential to implement ERAS correctly, with this article we aim to bridge ...

... The aim of this study was to assess the effect of topical tetracaine hydrochloride 0.5% on intraocular pressure (IOP) in ophthalmologically normal cats. Twenty domestic shorthair cats (40 eyes) were used in this study. Each cat was randomly allocated to one of two groups (treatment or control). Baseline IOP (T0) was measured in each cat, and then one drop of tetracaine hydrochloride 0.5% or artifi ...
... The aim of this study was to describe an alternative landmark for screw insertion into the body of the ilium with bilateral sacroiliac luxation in cats. Seven cat cadavers with artificially induced bilateral sacroiliac luxation were used. The screw insertion point was determined using the caudal iliac crest and cranial acetabular rim. These two points make the first guideline; a second guideline r ...
... Surgical skills are learned through deliberate practice, and veterinary educators are increasingly turning to models for teaching and assessing surgical skills. This review article sought to compile and review the literature specific to veterinary surgical skills models, and to discuss the themes of fidelity, educational outcomes, and validity evidence. Several literature searches using broad term ...

Abstract:
... Perineal hernia refers to the herniation of pelvic and abdominal viscera into the subcutaneous perineal region through a pelvic diaphragm weakness: a concomitant prostatic disease is observed in 25–59% of cases. Prostatectomy involves the removal of the prostate, either partially (partial prostatectomy) or completely (total prostatectomy). In case of complicated perineal hernia, staged procedures ...

OBJECTIVE: To improve the accuracy of drilling during the repair of sacroiliac luxations (SILs) with a 3D‐printed patient‐specific drill guide (3D‐GDT) compared to free‐hand drilling technique (FHDT). STUDY DESIGN: Blinded, randomized, prospective ex vivo study. SAMPLE POPULATION: Sixteen canine cadavers (20–25 kg). METHODS: Dorsal, bilateral SILs were created. Pelvic CT was performed pre‐ and pos ...

Abstract:
... Oral health of an individual is a key factor in initiation of oral cancer. Oral cancer can be classified into five stages and involves several risk factors. Novel and safe therapeutic procedures are necessary for this type of aggressive cancer with high mortality and poor diagnosis. Surgery and radiation are common procedures for treatment of oral cancer. Nanomedicine is a recent avenue in oncolog ...
