Article Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a new way to localize the impacted canines from three dimensions and to investigate the root resorption of the adjacent teeth by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Forty-six patients undergoing orthodontic treatments and having impacted canines in Tongji Hospital were examined. The images of CBCT scans were obtained from KaVo 3D exam vision. Angular and linear measurements of the cusp tip and root apex according to the three planes (mid-sagittal, occlusal and frontal) have been taken using the cephalometric tool of the InVivo Dental Anatomage Version 5.1.10. The measurements of the angular and linear coordinates of the maxillary and mandibular canines were obtained. Using this technique the operators could envision the location of the impacted canine according to the three clinical planes. Adjacent teeth root resorption of 28.26 % was in the upper lateral incisors while 17.39% in upper central incisors, but no lower root resorption was found in our samples. Accurate and reliable localization of the impacted canines could be obtained from the novel analysis system, which offers a better surgical and orthodontic treatment for the patients with impacted canines.

Oxidative stress has attracted attention as an indicator of exercise load. Minimizing the impact on the body is essential during underwater treadmill exercise. Here, we conducted an exploratory study of the effects of dermal suction, which has been reported to improve blood flow in healthy dogs, prior to underwater treadmill exercise.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of postoperative swimming therapy on hind limb functional recovery in dogs following femoral head and neck excision (FHNE) using the symmetry index (SI) of peak vertical force (PVF) data from ground reaction force measurements and orthopedic evaluations.

Methods: From February 18, 2021, through February 18, 2023, dogs undergoing FHNE were randomized to swimming and nonswimming therapy groups. Hind limb PVF and an orthopedic assessment score were recorded at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global health challenge, impacting humans, animals, and the environment. Dogs and cats are vulnerable to urinary tract infections (UTIs), mostly caused by antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli, necessitating antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) for optimal treatment. This study investigated and evaluated the seasonality of AST and AMR in urinary E.

Understanding dog behavior, especially in the context of the human social environment, is critical to maintaining positive human-dog interactions and relationships. Furthermore, behavior can be an important indicator of health and welfare in companion dogs. Behavioral change can signal transitions in life stages, alert caretakers to potential illnesses or injuries, and is an important factor in understanding and measuring stress.

Introduction: The airway mucosa plays a crucial role in protection and various physiological functions. Current methods for restoring airway mucosa, such as myocutaneous flaps or split skin grafts, create a stratified squamous layer that lacks the cilia and mucus-secreting glands of the native columnar-lined airway. This study examines the application of various injectable biopolymers as active molecules for a potential approach to regenerating laryngeal epithelial tissue.
