The samples were sectioned longitudinally along the linea alba and then sutured together in a continuous pattern using four different randomly assigned sizes of pdx suture material (2-0, 3-0, 4-0, 5-0 USP). A universal testing machine was used for linear distraction of the samples. The tensile strength and type of failure were recorded and analysed. Three types of failure were defined: suture material failure (S), suture line failure (T1) and failure of the abdominal wall further away from the linea alba (T2).ResultsThe frequency of suture material failure decreased with increasing suture size. Suture size 5-0 failed due to a S failure in 6/8 samples, PDX 4-0 failed in 2/8 samples and PDX 3-0 failed in only 1/8 samples. However, PDX 2-0 failed due to only T1 or T2 failures, with both failures being almost equally represented. No statistically significant differences in the load to failure between PDX 2-0, 3-0 and 4-0 were noted ( P &gt;0.05). The risk of suture failure increased with decreasing suture size diameter.Conclusions and relevancePDX 2-0 and 3-0 can be used without reservation for the closure of ventral midline coeliotomy in cats. Although there was no statistically significant difference between PDX 2-0, 3-0 and 4-0, PDX 4-0 showed a higher probability for suture breakage and should be used only after careful consideration of the patient while clinical evaluation is pending. Pdx 5-0 cannot be recommended as a safe suture size for this type of surgical closure.","PeriodicalId":15851,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142261416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cats with concurrent lower urinary tract disease, including urinary tract malignancy, were excluded. Friedman’s ANOVA compared variables between time points, and the Spearman test assessed the correlation between treatment duration and UPC.ResultsThe median starting dose of toceranib was 2.68 mg/kg (range 1.7–3.9). In total, 15 (46.9%) cats received concurrent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The most commonly treated tumors were oral squamous cell carcinoma (n = 10) and mast cell tumor (n = 5). None of the 32 cats developed progressive proteinuria or azotemia during the follow-up period (median 56 days; range 56–336). Notably, UPC and serum creatinine were significantly lower at T2 compared with baseline ( P = 0.012 and 0.001, respectively). Among the four cats with baseline proteinuria, UPC decreased over time with or without concurrent telmisartan treatment (n = 2). All four of these cats experienced a reduction in tumor size with toceranib concurrently with their decreased UPC. There was no significant correlation between UPC and the duration of toceranib treatment ( P = 0.089). Blood pressure was not significantly different over the assessed time points.Conclusions and relevanceThe incidence of proteinuria, renal azotemia and hypertension in cats treated with toceranib for neoplasia appears to be low.

This makes patients of this species challenging to assess and manage in the emergency setting where quick and stress-free diagnosis and treatment are necessary. Veterinary point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a rapid, evidence-based, non-invasive, repeatable, cage-side ultrasonographic examination designed to answer clinically driven questions without compromising feline wellbeing. Integrating feline friendly POCUS as an extension of the physical examination to streamline diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, thereby limiting stress and improving overall patient care, is advocated by the authors of this article.Equipment:Given the multitude of ultrasound machines and probes available that are portable, meaning they can be moved around the clinic and used patient-side, it should be possible for most practitioners to integrate POCUS into daily practice. The authors’ preferred equipment for feline POCUS is a microconvex probe and a portable machine with a fixed pre-set. This set-up allows the clinician to complete all POCUS (abdominal, lung and pleural space, and heart) without needing to move the patient, change probes or restrain the patient in a particular position, ultimately saving time, personnel and cost while maintaining patient comfort and safety.Aim:This review aims to serve as a valuable resource for veterinarians seeking to improve their feline patient care through the judicious utilisation of POCUS. In this article, the complex challenges posed by cats are addressed, and the different POCUS techniques, applications and clinical recommendations are discussed.Evidence base:This review draws on the published literature, as well as the authors’ own collective experience when providing recommendations.","PeriodicalId":15851,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery","volume":"6 1","pages":"1098612X241276916"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142213236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cocci were identified on cytological examination in 18/40 samples and rods in 2/40. Bacterial culture results were positive in 15/40 samples, with <i>Pseudomonas</i> species (4/15), <i>Pasteurella multocida</i> (3/15), <i>Staphylococcus felis</i> (3/15), <i>Staphylococcus schleiferi</i> (2/15), <i>Staphylococcus canis</i> (2/15), <i>Escherichia coli</i> (2/15), <i>Staphylococcus pseudintermedius</i> (1/15) and <i>Serratia marcesens</i> (1/15) isolation. After myringotomy and gentle flushing of middle ear bullae (0.5-2 ml saline per ear), all cats were treated with oral corticosteroids and a 1-month course of systemic antibiotics according to sensitivity testing. In total, 19 (73%) cats were clinically healed 60-240 days after treatment. One cat was euthanased because of failure to eradicate a <i>Pseudomonas</i> species infection. Another cat died a few hours after the procedure. The five remaining cats were cured after ventral bulla osteotomy.</p><p><strong>Relevance and novel information: </strong>OM without an aural polyp is a frequent diagnosis in cats, but data on medical treatment are scarce. This simple therapeutic technique, single myringotomy procedure and mild ear flushing, offers a practical, safe and efficient first-line treatment of suppurative OM with an intact tympanum in cats with or without neurological signs.</p>","PeriodicalId":15851,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery","volume":"26 9","pages":"1098612X241275286"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11450789/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142348050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
