Question
Answer
According to Gordo et al. (2020) in the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery, what was the purpose of using methylene blue in parotid sialadenectomy in dogs?
The purpose was to assist in the identification of the parotid gland during surgery.
What were the surgical outcomes of parotid sialadenectomy with methylene blue as reported by Gordo et al. (2020)?
The surgical outcomes were successful, with complete removal of the gland and no recurrence.
How was methylene blue used during the parotid sialadenectomy procedure in the study by Gordo et al. (2020)?
Methylene blue was injected into the parotid duct to stain the gland for easier identification.
What complications were observed during parotid sialadenectomy in the study by Gordo et al. (2020) published in the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery?
Complications included minor bleeding and temporary swelling.
What were the long-term follow-up results for dogs undergoing parotid sialadenectomy in the study by Gordo et al. (2020)?
Long-term follow-up showed no recurrence of sialadenitis or other complications.
In the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery (2020), Blank et al. described a condition causing partial oesophageal constriction. What was the identified cause of this condition?
The identified cause was a vascular ring anomaly.
What treatment approach was used for partial oesophageal constriction in the cases reported by Blank et al. (2020)?
The treatment approach included surgical correction of the vascular ring anomaly.
According to Blank et al. (2020), what were the clinical signs observed in dogs with partial oesophageal constriction?
Clinical signs included regurgitation and difficulty swallowing.
What were the surgical outcomes for the dogs treated for oesophageal constriction in the study by Blank et al. (2020)?
Surgical outcomes were favorable, with resolution of regurgitation in both cases.
In the study “Adult-onset regurgitation in two dogs with partial oesophageal constriction caused by vascular ring anomaly” by Blank et al. (2020), what diagnostic methods were used?
Diagnostic methods included radiography and contrast esophagography.
In the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery (2020), Rigas et al. conducted a study on mast cell tumors in dogs. What age group was the focus of this study?
The focus was on dogs less than 12 months of age.
What were the key clinical features of mast cell tumors in dogs younger than 12 months as reported by Rigas et al. (2020)?
Key clinical features included rapid tumor growth and aggressive behavior.
According to Rigas et al. (2020), what treatment approaches were evaluated for mast cell tumors in dogs under 12 months of age?
Treatment approaches evaluated included surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
What was the survival rate for dogs under 12 months with mast cell tumors as reported in the 2020 study by Rigas et al.?
The survival rate was lower compared to older dogs, with many cases showing early metastasis.
In the study “Mast cell tumors in dogs less than 12 months of age - a multi-institutional retrospective study” by Rigas et al. (2020), what were the recurrence rates of mast cell tumors in this age group?
Recurrence rates were high, with many dogs developing new tumors within six months.
In the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery (2020), Mortier and Blackwood reviewed the treatment of nasal tumors in dogs. What was the primary focus of this review?
The primary focus was on the effectiveness of various treatments for nasal tumors.
According to Mortier and Blackwood (2020), what were the recommended treatment options for canine nasal tumors?
Recommended treatment options included surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
What were the key findings regarding the prognosis for dogs with nasal tumors as discussed by Mortier and Blackwood (2020)?
Key findings indicated that early detection and aggressive treatment improve prognosis.
How did Mortier and Blackwood (2020) categorize nasal tumors in their review?
Nasal tumors were categorized based on histological type and location.
What were the main challenges in treating canine nasal tumors according to the 2020 review by Mortier and Blackwood?
Main challenges included difficulty in complete surgical removal and high recurrence rates.
In the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery (2020), Basa et al. reported on a case of neurofibroma in a dog. What nerve was affected by this condition?
The affected nerve was the ulnar nerve.
What surgical treatment was used for the neurofibroma reported by Basa et al. (2020)?
The surgical treatment used was marginal neurectomy.
According to Basa et al. (2020), what were the clinical signs associated with neurofibroma of the ulnar nerve in the reported case?
Clinical signs included lameness, muscle atrophy, and loss of sensation in the affected limb.
