To determine the cardiopulmonary effects of etorphine and thiafentanil for immobilization of blesbok. Blinded, randomized, two-way crossover study. A group of eight adult female blesbok. Animals were immobilized twice, once with etorphine (0.09 mg kg ) and once with thiafentanil (0.09 mg kg ) administered intramuscularly by dart. Immobilization quality was assessed and analysed by Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Time to final recumbency was compared between treatments by one-way analysis of variance. Cardiopulmonary effects including respiratory rate (ƒ ), arterial blood pressures and arterial blood gases were measured. A linear mixed model was used to assess the effects of drug treatments over the 40 minute immobilization period. Significant differences between treatments, for treatment over time as well as effect of treatment by time on the variables, were analysed (p < 0.05). There was no statistical difference (p= 0.186) between treatments for time to recumbency. The mean ƒ was lower with eto with thiafentanil. Ventilation was adequate. Hypertension was greater and immobilization scores were lower with thiafentanil. To examine the anatomy of the lumbar epaxial region and to describe two different ultrasound-guided approaches for the lumbar erector spinae plane (ESP) block in dogs. An anatomical and experimental cadaver study. A group of 19 canine cadavers. The anatomy was described following dissection of two cadavers. Bilateral ultrasound-guided ESP injections with 0.4 mL kg of contrast dye were performed in 17 adult Beagle cadavers using either transversal (TVS) or parasagittal (PST) approaches. Computed tomography was performed to measure the total length of the contrast dye column and the epidural, intravascular, hypaxial and intra-abdominal migration. Dissections were performed to assess the spread of the contrast dye and to determine the degree of staining of the dorsal branches of the spinal nerves (DBSN). Mann-Whitney U and chi-square tests were used to compare data between groups. Using both techniques, the contrast dye was observed within the ESP compartment. There was no difference in the total lal length of the contrast dye column, the TVS approach was superior to the PST approach in staining DBSN.In COVID-19 pandemic era, one major concern is related to ensure optimal management to oncologic patients, even though a context of radical uncertainty. The aim of our effort is to guarantee high-quality and timely care, minimizing COVID-19 infection risk, according to our head and neck (HN) reconstructive mission, still more challenging because of the criticality of the period. Thus, our reconstructive decision algorithm is changed. Microvascular free flaps, reported to be the gold standard for surgical reconstruction, represent extremely specialized procedures necessitating an extended resource allocation not affordable in the adversities of the period. Therefore, we are obliged to define a paradigm shift in our approach, based on free-style reconstructive surgery principles of propeller flap concept. According to our experience, we believe that this viable and feasible surgical technique could represent a reconstructive landmark in this pandemic era, since any guideline is missing, besides HN reconstructive surgery is most likely heading towards a new reconstructive approach. To investigate the association between clinical assessment and MRI measures of oedema and MRI grading in male athletes with acute adductor injuries. Cross-sectional study. We included 81 consecutive athletes with acute adductor injuries. All athletes received a standardized clinical assessment and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), blinded to clinical information. We analysed correlations between extent of palpation pain and extent of MRI oedema for the adductor longus. We compa
