An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Iatrogenic pulsus alternans in a dog undergoing median sternotomy
Abstract A 6‐year‐old, 21.8 kg, female, spayed Siberian husky was referred for management of a spontaneous bilateral pneumothorax, due to a ruptured pulmonary bleb. During surgery, sterile saline was instilled on three occasions in order to locate the damaged lung tissue and ensure complete ligation.
