Aging cheetahs using gum‐line recession and evaluation of expert‐based aging techniques

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Knowledge of animal age is important for population management of wildlife. We show for the first time how gum‐line recession of canine teeth can be used to age cheetahs. We also compare gum‐line recession estimates with expert opinion‐based aging and discuss cheetah age assignment techniques.

Fundamentals of System Design for Cardiac Pulsed Field Ablation: Optimization of Safety, Efficacy, and Usability

open access: yesPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The goal of a cardiac pulsed field ablation (PFA) system is to provide safe, effective, and usable therapy for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Achieving this goal is a complex exercise in system design, requiring optimization of catheter, waveform, and dosing. This optimization is often iterative, as myriad design factors are balanced to

Effects of Noninvasive Respiratory Support on Ventilation Distribution During Spontaneous Breathing Sedation in Preschool/School‐Aged Children: An Electrical Impedance Tomography Study

open access: yesPediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Procedural sedation interferes with respiratory dynamics in pediatric patients. It reduces lung compliance, causing the closing volume to exceed the functional residual capacity, which can result in airway collapse, atelectasis, and periods of silent desaturation.

Impact of Video Distraction on Anxiety During Anesthesia Induction in Pediatric Patients Premedicated With Midazolam: A Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesPediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Midazolam is commonly used and effective in reducing preoperative anxiety in children. Nonpharmacological interventions, such as video distraction, are also well established for alleviating preoperative anxiety in pediatric patients, particularly those treated in ambulatory settings.

Using a Patient‐Reported Outcome (PRO) Questionnaire to Assess Postoperative Care Following Pediatric Outpatient Surgery

open access: yesPediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction In recent years, there has been a marked rise in the incidence of pediatric day surgery across Western countries. As postoperative recovery transitions to the home environment, it is incumbent on healthcare systems to develop methods for patient follow‐up and caregiver support.

Perioperative Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion Therapy as an Adjunct to Multimodal Analgesia for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Surgical Correction: A Double‐Blind Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesPediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion is a common surgical correction for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Preventative multimodal analgesia, including opioids, is required to minimize postoperative pain, but opioids are associated with dose‐dependent side effects that may disrupt recovery.

Exploring Benefits of Non‐Intubated Surgery for Lung Biopsy in Interstitial Lung Disease

open access: yesRespirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives General anaesthesia with intubation is the standard technique for video‐assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). However, non‐intubated VATS (NIVATS) is emerging as a less invasive alternative, particularly for lung biopsies in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and impaired respiratory function.

Retrospective Study Evaluating Outcomes Following Palliative Radiotherapy With or Without Chemotherapy for Dogs With Presumed Cardiac Hemangiosarcoma

open access: yesVeterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Canine cardiac hemangiosarcoma (cHSA) represents a complex clinical challenge in that those afflicted have an acute risk of death due to cardiac tamponade and high morbidity and mortality given the frequency of metastasis. Previous studies show that radiation therapy (RT) can decrease the risk of tamponade; however, an optimal approach has yet
