DELAYED POSTPOLYPECTOMY BLEEDING - IMPORTANT RISK FACTORS
Endoscopic polypectomy is very popular in human medicine and is also performed in small animal medicine. Although this evaluation of the risk factors of severe delayed bleeding after polypectomy comes from the human medicine there are some data which might also be of interest in the veterinary field...

Breed-specific variations in the histopathology of chronic otitis externa
Spaniels, especially cocker spaniels, are very popular, and every small animal practitioner knows that they are presented with otitis externa very often. This interesting retrospecitve study shows that there is a significant difference between pathologic changes of the horizontal ear canal associated with chronic severe otitis externa between Cocker Spaniels and dogs of other breeds so that an early and aggressive therapy of otitis externa is absolutely mandatory to prevent them from chronic changes leading finally to total ear cnal ablation!

Is one preventive depot injection of barium selenate adequate for cattle?
In southern Australia, cattle at risk from selenium (Se) deficiency can be given an oral dose of supplements that are effective in maintaining adequate Se status for between 9 and 12 months. Is one single depot injection every two years also adequate in these cases?

Prognostic factors in feline mast cell tumors
Feline cutaneous mast cell tumors (MCTs) have been histologically classified as mastocytic (well differentiated or pleomorphic) and atypical/poorly granulated. Their biologic behavior ranges from benign to malignant, but prognostic factors are not well defined. This interesting immunhistochemic study gives some interesting new therapeutic aids.

Reproduction after surgery of vesicovaginal reflux in horses
Vesicovaginal reflux is not too rare in mares and is knonw to reduce fertility. Surgical correction is the therapy of choice but in some cases the results are disappointing. In this brandnew study, the surgical results and fertility of more than 60 mares bred at various intervals relative to surgical management of urovagina were evaluated.

Disciplines

New therapeutic concept in diabetic retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the dangerous long-term effects of diabetes mellitus in humans and - less common - also in dogs and cats. If it occurs it is very hard to treat. Now a group from the USA ran a study to evaluate the effect of nanoparticle-mediated gene delivery of angiogenic inhibitors on retinal inflammation, vascular leakage and neovascularization in diabetic retinopathy. The results are very promising and might improve future therapies!

New technique for carpal retinaculum release in horses (case report)
Carpal canal syndrome represents a serious problem especially in racehorses, and it can be very difficult to treat without worsening the whole condition. In this case report, the use of a proximolateral endoscopic portal with a distolateral instrument portal for carpal retinaculum release in a 4-year-old Thoroughbred female horse clinically affected with carpal canal syndrome is reported. Very interesting!

Serum hyaluronic acid in dogs with portosystemic shunts prae and post surgery
Congenital portosystemic shunts are malformations which are occasionally seen in dogs. Sometimes the diagnosis is rather difficult. Is the serum level of hyaluronic acid in affected dogs a diagnostic aid, and how does it develop following shunt attenuation compared with healthy dogs? A very interesting brandnew study!

Environmental risk factors for obesity in dogs
The results of this study are not really surprising but still interesting: There are relationships between socioeconomic and other environmental factors with canine obesity - and often also overweight owners!
