This study aims to evaluate the effect of acute, iatrogenic right arm ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) due to right axillary cannulation on regional oxidative stress using tissue perfusion markers such as central venous oxygen saturation, lactate, the difference between central venous and arterial CO pressure, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements, and biomarkers like sialic acid, malondialdehyde, advanced oxidative protein products in aortic surgery with moderate hypothermia. Adult patients undergoing ascending aorta repair with antegrade cerebral perfusion via the axillary artery participated. Blood samples were collected from the internal jugular vein, right arm cubital vein, and left arm cubital vein, and analysis was performed at intraoperative time points. Right-arm venous oxygen saturation levels are significantly lower than left arm and central venous, as expected in iatrogenic ischemia. Right arm lactate levels are significantly higher. Somatic right arm NIRS values are significantly lve useful information in a short enough period of time; moreover, their costs are high and laboratory studies take time. Although axillary cannulation is controlled limb ischemia, the local effects of I/R did not completely normalize at the end of the surgery, and this regional I/R did not affect the global body organism.Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is increasingly being used as a standard diagnostic test for dogs with suspected abdominal pathology. The iodinated contrast dose is commonly calculated based on linear increases in total body weight. However, body fat is not metabolically active and contributes little to dispersing or diluting the contrast medium in the blood. The aim of this retrospective single-center analytic study was to investigate the possible correlation between abdominal organ and vessel enhancement, and abdominal fat percentage in dogs. We hypothesized that, when dosing intravenous iodinated contrast according to total body weight, there would be a positive association between the degree of contrast enhancement of selected organs and vessels with increasing abdominal fat percentage. Vascular and parenchymal attenuation data were collected from 62 multiphasic abdominal CECT scans performed on dogs over a 5-year period at U-Vet Werribee Animal Hospital between February 2014 and February 2019. Findings based on a linear regression model showed a positive association of aorta (P = .005), liver (P = .045), and portal vein (P = .001) enhancement to abdominal fat percentage during the portal venous phase. Authors recommend that other body size parameters, such as lean body weight, should be considered when calculating iodine dose for abdominal contrast-enhanced CT in dogs. We compared the scar quality when different protocols were applied, and eventually aim to find the optimal scar management protocol. We conducted a prospective, randomized, and blinded comparison of different scar management protocols in a single center. We allocated 126 patients who underwent thyroidectomy via collar neck incision randomly into three groups. Patients in group A were treated with tissue adhesive only. Patients in group B were treated by means of subcuticular suturing and early scar management with a non-ablative fractional laser (NAFL) and intralesional triamcinolone injection (ILI). Patients in group C had skin closure with tissue adhesive and early scar management. At 6 months after the operation, the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) and the width of the final scar were compared. Comparing the sum of PSAS, groups B and C showed significant higher satisfaction than did group A (22.81 ± 11.66 in group A, 10.9 ± 5.14 in group B, and 15.19 ± 9.98 in group C). In the sum of OSAS, group B also showed a significant difference than did groups A and C (17.74 ± 6.75 in group A, 10.26 ± 3.60 in group B, and 14.52 ± 6.48 in group C). Al
