NAL Call Number: SF911. V43
Abstract: Twenty-one mandibular fractures in 11 cats and 6 dogs were repaired during a 20-month period. A new technique using dental composite was used to stabilize the mandible. The canine teeth were pumiced, acid etched, and aligned with dental composite, leaving the mouth opened approximately 1 cm. Six weeks after surgery the composite was removed so that radiographs of the mandible could be made with the animal under general anesthesia. In 1 dog in which the fracture had not healed, the composite was replaced. The composite broke before 6 weeks in 8 animals; 2 required replacement of the dental composite. There were no other complications. The median time for fracture healing was 6 weeks. All fractures healed with anatomic dental occlusion. The advantages of this technique are that no further damage is caused to the teeth or to the blood supply of the bone, the occlusion is anatomic, dermatitis (which is seen with tape muzzles) is not a complication, and the technique is easy to use in brachycephalic breeds, cats, and animals with poor bone quality. The limiting factor of this technique is that it does require four salvageable canine teeth. This repair technique is still a viable option even if one or more of the canine teeth are fractured. Dental composite stabilization is fast, easy, inexpensive, and, in our series, it was 100% effective for the repair of mandibular fractures.

NAL Call Number: SF601 .A5
Abstract: The records of 35 dogs and two cats with Broviac-Cookea catheters implanted during a one-year period at The Ohio State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital (OSU-VTH) were reviewed for complications. In 36 patients, the catheters were used for daily anesthesia associated with cobalt radiotherapy, and in one dog the catheter was used for parenteral hyperalimentation. The catheters were in place for a mean of 16.7 days. Complications occurred in five patients and included infection or sepsis (n = 3), local abscess formation (n = 1), and local induration (n = 1); all the complications resolved with appropriate therapy. Broviac-Cooke catheters should be considered for use in dogs and cats requiring frequent blood sampling, repeated intravenous access, or in those for which routine venous access is difficult or impossible. The complication rate is minimal (13%) and is similar to that reported in studies of humans with indwelling, silastic catheters.

Abstract: Forty-eight feline mammary carcinomas (FMC) were resected surgically from 48 cats to determine whether the Ki-67 index (Ki-67I) would provide an indication of the post-surgical survival time (PST). Twenty-four cats (50 per cent) were still alive (group A) one year after surgery, whilst 24 (50 per cent) (group B) had died. Formalin-fixed, paraffin wax-embedded histological sections were immunostained with a monoclonal antibody to Ki-67 (MIB-1) and at least 1000 nuclei in eight to 10 representative fields were counted. The Ki-67I was expressed as the percentage of positive nuclei. In FMC, the Ki-67I ranged from 7.5 to 49.7 (24.8 +/- 9.5). A statistically significant difference (P = 0.000006) in the Ki-67I was found between group A and group B cats. No other statistically significant differences were found between these groups. The Ki-67I did not correlate with age or different histological type, according to the WHO classification. A Ki-67I cut-off of 25.2 represents a useful tool for identifying FMC with a more aggressive course.

Abstract: In order to probe into whether beta-endorphin is involved in descending modulation of the somatosensory area (SII) of the cerebral cortex on the nucleus centrum medianum (CM) of the thalamus and this mechanism of acupuncture analgesia, it was investigated that effects of electrical stimulation of SII and electroacupuncture on beta-endorphin content in the perfusate from the nucleus CM. Adult cats were randomly divided into three groups: control, electroacupuncture and electrical stimulation of SII. Push-pull perfusion technique was used to collect the perfusate from the nucleus CM beta-endorphin contents in the perfusate were determined with radioimmunoassay. The results indicated that beta-endorphin content in the perfusate was increased significantly by electrical stimulation of SII and not by electroacupuncture, suggesting that the beta-endorphin release from the nucleus CM was elevated by the stimulation of SII and was not influenced by electroacupuncture. It is indicated that beta-endorphin is possibly involved in the descending regulatory effect of electrical stimulation of SII on the nucleus CM, but is not involved in the regulatory effect of electroacupuncture on the nucleus CM.

NAL Call Number: SF911. V43
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To assess postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) rate and to identify associated predictive factors. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective clinical study. ANIMALS: Dogs and cats that had surgery (1010 interventions) during 58 weeks from April 1999 to June 2000. METHODS: Data sheets were completed by clinicians. Patients were controlled for clinical evidence of SSI at suture removal. Two definitions of SSI ("infection" and "infection/inflammation") were developed specifically for this study and used for statistical analysis. Logistic regression models were built in order to identify significant predictive factors for SSI. RESULTS: Wounds with "infection/inflammation" occurred in 5.8% and "infected" wounds in 3% of patients. The outcome "infection" was associated with 3 major risk factors (duration of surgery, increasing number of persons in the operating room, dirty surgical site) and 1 protective factor (antimicrobial prophylaxis). The outcome "infection/inflammation" was associated with 6 significant factors (duration of anesthesia, duration of postoperative intensive care unit stay, wound drainage, increasing patient weight, dirty surgical site, and antimicrobial prophylaxis). CONCLUSIONS: SSI frequency in companion animals is comparable with the frequency observed in human surgical patients. Several significant predictive factors for SSI in small animals surgery were identified. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Baseline information for SSI surveillance in our hospital and for comparison with other studies was defined. The factors identified may help to predict infections in surgical patients and to take adequate preventive measures for patients at risk.

NAL Call Number: 41.8 AM3
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate anatomic reduction and surgical stabilization of femoral capital physeal fractures in cats. DESIGN: Retrospective study. ANIMALS: 13 cats. PROCEDURE: Medical records of cats with unilateral or bilateral femoral capital physeal fractures evaluated from 1998 to 2002 were reviewed. Age and weight of cats at the time of surgery; breed; sex; concurrent injuries; severity of lameness before and 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after surgery; the amount of fracture reduction achieved and number of Kirschner wires (K-wires) used; degree of degenerative joint disease of the hip joint and lysis of the femoral neck and head observed after surgery; whether K-wires were removed after surgery; and complications after surgery were evaluated. RESULTS: Thirteen cats with 16 capital physeal fractures were identified. There was significant improvement in the severity of clinical lameness in all cats from weeks 1 through 4 after surgery. There was no correlation between the scores of the individuals who evaluated radiographs for fracture reduction and placement of K-wires. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggested that surgical stabilization and repair of femoral capital physeal fractures facilitate a short recovery period and a good prognosis for return to normal function in cats.

NAL Call Number: 41.8 AM3
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To determine the survival rates of dogs and cats that underwent surgical treatment for traumatic diaphragmatic hernia within 24 hours of admission and determine whether timing of surgery affected perioperative survival rate. DESIGN: Retrospective study. ANIMALS: 63 dogs and 29 cats treated surgically for traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. PROCEDURE: Medical records were reviewed to evaluate associations between perioperative survival rates and variables including timing of surgery in relation to admission and acute versus chronic diaphragmatic hernia. RESULTS: Among the 92 animals, 82 (89.1%) were discharged alive after surgery. Sixty-four (69.6%) patients received surgical intervention within 12 hours of admission, and 84 (91.3%) received surgical intervention within 24 hours of admission. Median time from admission to discharge was 4 days (2 to 33 days). Data for acute cases (68 dogs and cats) were analyzed separately. Sixty-three (92.6%) patients with acute diaphragmatic hernia received surgical intervention within 24 hours of admission to the hospital, and 59 (93.7%) of these patients were discharged alive. Twenty-nine (42.6%) patients with acute diaphragmatic hernia received surgical intervention within 24 hours of trauma, and 26 of 29 (89.7%) patients were discharged alive. An overall acute and chronic perioperative survival rate of 89.7% was observed in dogs and cats that received surgical intervention within 24 hours of admission. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results in 68 dogs and cats that underwent surgery within 24 hours of admission suggested that early surgical intervention for acute diaphragmatic hernia was associated with good perioperative survival rates.

NAL Call Number: 41.8 AM3
Abstract: Results of abdominal ultrasonography in 63 dogs and cats with suspected congenital portosystemic shunts (PSS) were compared with surgical, portographic, and necropsy findings. True-positive ultrasonographic results were found in 33 animals, and 2 animals had false-positive results for detection of single extrahepatic PSS. In 4 animals, results were true negative and in 8 animals, were false-negative for detection of extrahepatic PSS. The false-negative rate decreased substantially with operator experience. The sensitivity of ultrasonography for detection of extrahepatic PSS in these animals was 80.5%, and the specificity was 66.7%. In 5 other animals, ultrasonographic examination was strongly suggestive of the existence of a shunt, but the vessel could not be definitively imaged. All 5 animals had single extrahepatic shunts. Eleven animals had true-positive results for detection of intrahepatic PSS. One animal had false-positive ultrasonographic results for intrahepatic PSS, but an extrahepatic shunt was diagnosed at surgery. The sensitivity of ultrasonography for detection of intrahepatic PSS was 100%.

NAL Call Number: 41.8 AM3
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To determine short-term results and complications of prepubertal gonadectomy in cats and dogs. DESIGN: Prospective randomized study. ANIMALS: 775 cats and 1,213 dogs. PROCEDURE: Animals undergoing gonadectomy were allotted into 3 groups on the basis of estimated age (group 1, < 12 weeks old; group 2, 12 to 23 weeks old; group 3, > or = 24 weeks old). Complications during anesthesia, surgery, and the immediate postoperative period (7 days) were recorded. Complications were classified as major (required treatment and resulted in an increase in morbidity or mortality) or minor (required little or no treatment and caused a minimal increase in morbidity). An ANOVA was used to detect differences among groups in age, weight, body temperature, and duration of surgery. To detect differences in complication rates among groups, chi 2 analysis was used. RESULTS: Group 1 consisted of 723 animals, group 2 consisted of 532, and group 3 consisted of 733. Group-3 animals had a significantly higher overall complication rate (10.8%) than group-1 animals (6.5%), but did not differ from group-2 animals (8.8%). Differences were not detected among the 3 groups regarding major complications (2.9, 3.2, and 3.0% for groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively), but group-3 animals had significantly more minor complications (7.8%) than group-1 animals (3.6%), but not group-2 animals (5.6%). CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: In this study, prepubertal gonadectomy did not increase morbidity or mortality on a short-term basis, compared with gonadectomy performed on animals at the traditional age. These procedures may be performed safely in prepubertal animals, provided that appropriate attention is given to anesthetic and surgical techniques.

(Editor), Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.: Belgrade, Serbia, p. 280-281. ISBN: 8681043196.
Abstract: Cataract is any opacity within the lens of the eye or its capsule. Cataract interferes with light reaching the retina and results in loss of vision and blindness, if affecting a significant portion of the lens. After trauma of the head or penetrated corneal wounds, traumatic cataract may occur. Because of the changing of colour and its aspect, the traumatic cataract in cats can be easily diagnosed. In this issue the clinical aspects and the surgical treatment of traumatic cataract in cats, are presented.

ISBN: 8681043196.
Abstract: Cataract surgery using current phacoemulsification techniques offers a number of attractive beefits to both surgeon and patient. The principal advantages are: smaller incision size, which decreases the amount of tissue injury, reduces the amount of postoperative pain and inflammation, minimal loss of endothelial cells and corneal oedema. The protective properties of viscoelastic substances have in turn enhanced intraoperative safety surgeon control, minimizing iris trauma, capsule tears and the possibility of intraoperative suprachoroidal hemorrhage by maintaining a pressurized surgical environment. The main operative steps in phacoemulsifications are: clear corneal limbus incision, capsulotomy, capsulorhexis, phacofragmentation, phacoemulsification and aspiration, corneal limbus suture.

NAL Call Number: SF601.V484
Abstract: In order to assess an endoscopic collection procedure, populations of bacteria in duodenal fluid from seven adult cats were compared in paired samples obtained by endoscopy and direct needle aspiration during laparotomy. Each sample of duodenal juice was subjected to quantitative and qualitative culture of bacteria under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. There were no significant differences in total numbers or individual species of bacteria comparing the two collection procedures. These findings indicate that collection of duodenal juice by endoscopy using the procedure described provides a representative sample of small bowel fluid for the assessment of the bacterial flora. Therefore, there appears to be no need for more invasive or complicated sampling techniques when quantitative and qualitative culture of duodenal juice is indicated as part of an investigation of small bowel disease in cats.

Abstract: To identify candidates for feline acute phase proteins, the concentrations of serum amyloid A protein (SAA), alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (alpha 1-AG), C-reactive protein (CRP), and haptoglobin (Hp) were measured in sera isolated from clinically normal and hospitalized (or diseased) cats, from cats with experimentally induced inflammation, and cats subjected to surgery for urinary diversion. Measurements were made by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and single radial immunodiffusion. The concentrations of SAA, alpha 1-AG, and Hp in sera from hospitalized cats were 7-11 times higher than in clinically normal cats. Similar results were obtained for the concentrations of SAA, alpha 1-AG, and Hp in cats with induced inflammation and cats subjected to surgery. By contrast, the serum concentration of feline CRP did not change significantly between clinically normal cats and hospitalized cats or inflammation-induced or post-surgery cats. Feline SAA concentration was found to increase earliest, with alpha 1-AG and Hp beginning to increase thereafter. From these results, feline SAA is concluded to be an acute phase reactant at the early stage of inflammation.

Abstract: Periradicular surgeries were performed on the maxillary cuspid teeth of twelve cats. Before reapproximation of the surgical flaps, eight of the osteotomies were covered with a resorbable membrane and eight were filled with human osteogenic protein-1 (hOP-1) on a collagen carrier. The remaining eight sites received no further treatment and served as controls. The animals were euthanized after 12 wk, and the specimens were examined histomorphometrically for the presence or absence of osseous regeneration, inflammation, and cementum formation on the root ends. The results showed that the sites treated with the membrane exhibited significantly more inflammation adjacent to the resected root ends (p < 0.05), and that the use of the membrane had no statistically significant effect on osseous healing or new cementum formation. The use of hOP-1 was associated with a significant decrease in the thickness of new cementum formed on the resected root ends (p < 0.05), but had no statistically significant effect on osseous healing or degree of inflammation. Based on these results, it seems that neither the use of hOP-1 nor resorbable membranes have a positive effect on periradicular tissue healing in endodontic surgery.

NAL Call Number: 447.8 AM3
Abstract: We characterized and quantified a reflex from the pharyngeal mucosa to the upper esophageal sphincter (UES). Seventeen cats were decerebrated, and the pharynx was exposed by opening the cricothyroid ligament. UES motor activity was assessed by recording electromyographic (EMG) activity from the pharyngeal constrictors, i.e., the thyropharyngeus (TP) and cricopharyngeus (CP). The pharyngeal mucosa was stimulated by touch or pressure. Both stimuli activated contraction of the CP primarily when applied to the naso-, laryngo-, or hypopharynx, but pressure was more effective. The anteromedial portion of the hypopharynx was the most sensitive zone, but there was no strong stimulus-response relationship. The reflex response to a 1-s stimulus occurred at a delay of 0.46 +/- 0.06 s and lasted 4.5 +/- 0.5 s. This pharyngo-UES reflex was blocked by anesthesia of the mucosa or transection of the glossopharyngeal or pharyngoesophageal nerves but not the vagus nerves. In contrast, the esophago-UES contractile reflex was not blocked by anesthesia of the pharyngeal mucosa or transection of the glossopharyngeal nerves but was blocked by transection of either the vagus or pharyngoesophageal nerves. We concluded that the pharyngo-UES contractile reflex was activated by pharyngeal mucosal mechanoreceptors whose afferent limb was the glossopharyngeal nerve and whose efferent limb was the pharyngoesophageal branch of the vagus nerve.

Abstract: Visual single-unit activity was recorded in the caudate nucleus of halothane-anaesthetized, immobilized, artificially respirated cats. Visually sensitive neurons were found in the dorsolateral part of the caudate body. A majority of the units responded optimally to small spot-like stimuli moving with velocities between 30 and 120 degrees /s. The receptive field of these units is large: it covers a major part of both the contra- and ipsilateral visual hemifields. No signs of retinotopy were observed. Most of the neurons display directional selectivity and are narrowly tuned to the direction of the moving stimulus. These physiological properties are consistent with recent morphological results that reveal multiple connections of the caudate nucleus with the superior colliculus through tecto-extrageniculo-thalamic pathways in the mammalian brain.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to compare the results of six methods used for surgical repair of 288 clinical bone fractures in dogs and 112 in cats. A relationship is established between the location of the fractures and the applicability and successfulness of the different techniques used. For repairing canine diaphyseal fractures best results are obtained by fixation with plates followed by internal fixation with pins. Combination of internal pins with fill-cerclage wires is more efficient in osteosynthesis of metaphyseal fractures than the use of intramedullar pins alone. Rush pinning techniques is highly successful for repairing epiphyseal fractures in both dogs and cats.

Abstract: A lingual approach for surgical extraction of the mandibular canine tooth was developed based on anatomic observations of tissues and structures of the rostral mandible and lingual orientation of the mandibular canine tooth root. Measurements of the lingual and buccal aspects of the alveolus indicated similar quantities of bone required for alveolectomy to expose the tooth root. The surgical procedure was performed in 12 dogs and four cats with no complications reported during the follow-up period.

NAL Call Number: 41.8 Am3A
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To determine prevalence of bacterial contamination of surgical suction tips. SAMPLE POPULATION: Surgical tips used during 44 surgical procedures performed on 42 dogs and 2 cats. PROCEDURE: Surgical procedures were classified into 1 of 3 categories according to degree of bacterial contamination of the surgical site (clean, clean-contaminated, contaminated). Two sets of suction apparatuses were used for test and control suction tips. Test tips were used normally to suction blood and fluid, whereas control tips were placed on the surgical drapes but not in the surgical wound. Suction tips were collected aseptically and placed into thioglycolate broth tubes for qualitative aerobic and anaerobic bacterial culture at the end of each procedure. RESULTS: Test and control suction tips were contaminated with bacteria during 30 of 44 (68%) procedures. Staphylococcus spp were the predominant bacteria in tips used during clean and clean-contaminated surgeries. When surgery was performed on clean-contaminated or contaminated wounds, prevalence of isolation of other bacteria such as Pseudomonas spp, Streptococcus spp, and Escherichia coli from both test and control suction tips was higher than for clean wounds. Mean time of procedures during which both test and control suction tips became contaminated was not significantly different from time of procedures during which neither tip became contaminated. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Surgical suction tips often become contaminated during standard veterinary surgical procedures. The risk of wound infection after surgery may be influenced by bacterial contamination of surgical suction tips.

Abstract: Effects of electrical stimulation of the somatosensory area II (S II) of the cerebral cortex and electroacupuncture (EA) on contents of r-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamic acid (Glu), aspartic acid (Asp) and alanine (Ala) in the precruciate cortex (PreCtx) were investigated in order to probe if the free amino acids in the preCtx are involved in the S II descending modulation and acupuncture analgesia. Adult cats were randomly divided into four groups: control, EA, electrical stimulation of S II and stimulation of S II plus EA. EA was applied at right Huantiao and Yanglingquan acupoints for 30 min and electrical stimulation was given on the S II surface. Amino acids were separated by paper chromatography and determined with spectrophotometry. Results showed that the stimulation of S II or/and EA had no significant effects on the contents of GABA, Glu, Asp and Ala in the PreCtx, indicating that the four amino acids are probably not involved in regulatory effects of EA and the stimulation of S II on the PreCtx.

Wazen, J.J. (1994). Intraoperative monitoring of auditory function: experimental observations and new applications. The Laryngoscope 104(4): 446-55. ISSN: 0023-8422.
Abstract: The three different methods of intraoperative monitoring, namely, auditory brainstem response evaluation (ABR), electrocochleography (ECoG), and direct eighth nerve compound action potentials monitoring are reviewed. Both ECoG and direct eighth nerve monitoring surpass the ABR in their ability to provide fast, almost instantaneous, large, reproducible potentials in response to click stimuli. Changes in the amplitude and the latency of these potentials alert the surgeon of an impending eighth nerve injury. Human clinical observations revealed instances of persistence of the ECoG despite a total eighth nerve section in the cerebellopontine angle. Animal and human experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of ECoG and direct eighth nerve monitoring in hearing preservation. Twelve cats underwent progressive sectioning of the eighth nerve with simultaneous monitoring of changes in their ECoG and direct eighth nerve potentials. ECoG thresholds were obtained intraoperatively in eight patients unde
