Equine Colic

Colic is the most common emergency problem in horses. The aims of this study were to survey costs of different referral treatments and to review insurance policies relevant to horses with colic. Data were collected retrospectively from nine equine hospitals for case costs, categorised into four different outcomes: admitted and euthanased; euthanased during or immediately after surgery; medical treatment and survived more than 24 hours; and surgical treatment and survived more than 24 hours. Data from five UK equine insurance companies were extracted and analysed using a standardised case example. Costs were obtained for 108 cases. The mean cost for horses admitted and euthanased was £873.89 (range £459.72–£1471.51), and for surgical treatment and survival more than 24 hours was £6437.80 (range £3178.87–£9100.00). Insurance cover for veterinary fees ranged from £5000 to £7500, and monthly premium rates for a standardised case ranged from £27.06 to £47.06. The terms and conditions for the insurance policies ranged in length from 2098 to 17,701 words; Flesch Kincaid Reading Ease scores ranged from 21.6 to 57.7, indicating a high degree of complexity and low readability. This study highlights the complexity and challenges for decision-making in critical cases of colic.

The objective: of the study was to study the microbial vaginal tract in women with infertility, who had undergone surgical treatment on the uterine appendages. Materials and methods. An examination of vaginal discharge on flora and STIs was conducted in 120 women of reproductive age with infertility and benign ovarian formations, ectopic pregnancy, which was organ-retained surgical intervention on the appendages of the uterus. Of these, 76 (1 group) patients were surgically treated in a planned manner, 44 (in 2 groups) – in urgent cases. Results. Inflammatory diseases of the genital area were more common in women with infertility, who had surgical treatment in an urgent manner than in women of group 1 (p<0.05), especially inflammatory diseases of the cervix – almost twice as likely as in group 1. The vaginal microbial examination of women with infertility who were hospitalized for surgical treatment in an urgent manner indicates a significant imbalance between the parameters of contamination of the genital tract by conditionally pathogenic and normal microflora. This, above all, was manifested by the high frequency of determination in women of the 2nd group of representatives of optional aerobes and anaerobes (p<0.05). The concentration of facultative-aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms was in patients of the 2nd group, mostly of high degree of microbial dissemination, and in women of the 1 group, medium and low. STIs were found mainly in association with anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms in patients who were operated in an urgent manner. Conclusion. It is necessary to correct the vaginal biotope in women with infertility before surgical treatment – to promptly influence pathogenic microorganisms with antimicrobial agents and restore physiological vaginal microbial vagina. Key words: women, infertility, vaginal microbial, appendages of the uterus, surgical treatment.

The study is dedicated to the study of inflammatory and destructive periodontal diseases. Predicting the probability of a favorable outcome or treatment failure is one of the most important doctor’s tasks when choosing a particular method. This problem could not be solved without using a large amount of data characterizing the patient's condition at a particular point in time. The empirical approach to this problem depends largely on individual experience and does not imply obtaining any formalized (numerical) probability estimates of successful or, on the contrary, unsuccessful end of treatment. Correct and effective using of dental lasers in clinical practice requires knowledge of their effects on tissues of the oral cavity. Each type of laser has its properties that are used to solve clinical cases. Laser radiation requires an approach that is significantly different from the traditional use of dental instruments. To determine lasers therapeutic indications for the treatment of inflammatory and destructive periodontal diseases, we applied biometric approaches to the development of mathematical models using multidimensional analysis, allowing to obtain qualitative assessments for optimization of method and treatment strategy selection. The development of predictive models was carried out in several stages. Each of the generally accepted dental signs characterizing periodontal disease could not be a reliable criterion for the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of surgical treatment. Comprehensive assessment using a logistic (exponential) model of the probability of a particular treatment outcome with a high degree statistical reliability makes it possible to select patients for whom treatment with laser technologies is recommended.

Scoliosis Progression

Analysis of CITO outpatient department archives has shown that practically from 20 to 30% of patients with spine pathology are suffering from scoliosis. The most common types are lumbar and thoracolumbar scoliosis. Progression of lumbar scoliosis goes on after growth completion and is accompanied by formation of pronounced degenerative changes in the spine. Clinically the course of the disease is aggravated by marked persistent pain syndrome. Results of surgical treatment performed at CITO spine pathology department with application of ventral and dorsal instrumentation have been analyzed for 118 patients with lumbar and thoracolumbar scoliosis. Eighty of those patients were operated on in childhood and juvenile age, 38 patients at the age of 25 - 70 years. Use of ventral instrumentation enabled to achieve high degree of lumbar and thoracolumbar scoliosis correction - up to 72% of initial deformity, average derotation made up 12.9° or 44.3% of initial rotation. Use of dorsal instrumentation is also effective for surgical treatment of lumbar and thoracolumbar scoliosis (66.8% of lateral curvature). Screw fixation ensures higher degree of the lateral curvature (68.2%) and sagittal profile as well as rotation component (33.1% of initial value). Presence of focal neurologic symptomatology is the indication to decompressive operations followed by instrumental fixation and posterior fusion. Defor-mity correction is performed only within the limits of deformity mobility

Background: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) due to severe and refractory back pain or neurological complications require surgical treatment. In this study, patients with radiculopathy due to foraminal stenosis following OVCF were surgically managed by performing transforaminal full-endoscopic lumbar foraminoplasty and/or discectomy (FELFD). Methods: From May 2015 to November 2019, fifteen patients underwent transforaminal FELFD. Patient data, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score were collected. Clinical outcomes, including pre- and postoperative Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores for back and leg pain, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and MacNab criteria of response to surgical treatment, were evaluated. Results: Mean of age, bone mineral density (T-score), CCI, ASA, and follow-up duration were 69.5 ± 6.6 years, −2.6 ± 0.8, 5.2 ± 2.3, 2.4 ± 0.5, and 24.5 ± 8.8 months, respectively. Mean VAS for leg pain significantly decreased from 6.9 ± 0.8 preoperatively to 2.9 ± 1.1 ( P < .05). Mean ODI decreased from 39.9 ± 3.2 preoperatively to 19.3 ± 4.6 postoperatively ( P < .05). The satisfaction rate is 86.7% (based on Macnab criteria), showed six patients had excellent outcomes and seven had good outcomes. Conclusions: Transforaminal FELFD is an effective treatment option for patients with radiculopathy due to lumbar OVCF, including those with severe osteoporosis and elderly patients.
