To report the surgical treatment and outcome of an adult dog with a duodenal perforation treated with a vascularized jejunal patch graft.
STUDY DESIGN
Case report.
ANIMAL
A 1-year-old castrated male boxer dog.
METHODS
Damage to a duodenal segment containing the major and minor papillae was repaired with a vascularized jejunal graft. A segment of healthy jejunum was mobilized maintaining the jejunal vessels, and a donor site anastomosis was performed. The vascularized jejunal graft was incised on the antimesenteric border creating a rectangular segment, which was trimmed and sutured to the duodenal recipient site as a patch graft to repair the defect.
RESULTS
The dog recovered well without major complications. Within 2 weeks, appetite and bowel movements were normal, with no episodes of vomiting. Infrequent regurgitation resolved without medical therapy.
CONCLUSION
A vascularized jejunal patch graft is a feasible option for successful surgical repair of duodenal injury in the dog.

SAMPLE 42 photographs of ISIs from 18 dogs for interobserver agreement and intraobserver repeatability and 27 photographs of ISIs from 6 dogs for in vivo versus photograph agreement. PROCEDURES An ISI inflammation scoring system was developed. It included scales for 6 metrics (erythema, drainage amount, drainage type, swelling, hair loss or lack of hair regrowth, and granulation tissue). Photographs of the ISI of ESF were obtained by use of a standard protocol and evaluated to determine intraobserver repeatability and interobserver agreement (Cronbach α; 4 raters) of the ISI score. Agreement between in vivo and photographic ISI scores (2 raters) and correlation between median scores across metrics were evaluated. RESULTS 42 photographs met the inclusion criteria. Overall intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from 0.922 to 0.975. Interobserver overall Cronbach α ranged from 0.835 to 0.943. For in vivo versus photographic assessment, 27 ISIs in 6 dogs and their photographs were evaluated. The Cronbach α for both raters ranged from 0.614 to 0.938. Overall, the Cronbach α ranged from 0.725 to 0.932. Mean photographic scores were greater than mean in vivo scores for each metric. Pearson correlation coefficients ranged from 0.221 to 0.923. Erythema, swelling, and granulation were correlated with all other metrics. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE In this study, an ISI scoring system used in this study had high repeatability and agreement and may therefore be considered for use in clinical situations. Photographic scores were not equivalent to in vivo scores and should not be used interchangeably.}, number={11}, journal={American Journal of Veterinary Research}, author={McDonald-Lynch, M.

To compare the mechanical properties of feline ilial fractures stabilized with either a plate (P), or a plate and IM pin (P + P).
STUDY DESIGN
Mechanical study.
SAMPLE POPULATION
Cadaveric cat pelvii (n = 10).
METHODS
Feline ilial fractures (n = 20) stabilized with either P or P + P were subjected to 100 nondestructive load cycles, then loaded to failure. Deformation after cycling, yield load and displacement, stiffness and load at 2 mm of displacement were compared between groups.
RESULTS
There were no significant differences between groups for any of the parameters. Variability of data was much larger for the P + P group.
CONCLUSIONS
No biomechanical advantage was demonstrated. The P + P constructs were not significantly stronger than plates alone in this acutely loaded cadaveric model.}, number={2}, journal={VETERINARY SURGERY}, author={Krebs, Renee C. and Roe, Simon C. and Lascelles, B.

To evaluate a technique for midhumeral peripheral nerve blockade in the dog.
STUDY DESIGN
Cadaveric technique development; in vivo placebo-controlled, prospective crossover study.
ANIMALS
Canine cadavers (n=38) and 8 clinically healthy, adult hound dogs.
METHODS
A technique for peripheral block of the radial, ulnar, musculocutaneous, and median nerves (RUMM block) was evaluated using cadaver limbs. Eight purpose-bred, research dogs were anesthetized; a RUMM block was performed on each thoracic limb. One limb from each dog randomly received 0.5% bupivacaine and the opposite limb was assigned to receive sterile saline solution as a control. After recovery from anesthesia, skin sensation at selected dermatomes was evaluated for 24 hours using a mechanical stimulus. Weight-bearing, conscious proprioception, and withdrawal reflex were also evaluated. One month after initial testing, each dog was reanesthetized and each limb received the opposite treatment.
RESULTS
Sensory thresholds were significantly increased over baseline measurements when compared with control limbs for all nerves. Complete sensory block was achieved in radial (15/16), ulnar (3/16), musculocutaneous (8/16), and median (11/16) nerves, using a mechanical stimulus of analgesia. Complete simultaneous block of all nerves was only obtained in 1 of 16 limbs.
CONCLUSION
RUMM block resulted in desensitization of the skin in the associated dermatomes for 4-10 hours. Complete sensory block of the dermatomes supplied by the radial nerve was most consistent.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE
RUMM block may be an effective technique to provide adjunctive analgesia for dogs undergoing surgery of the distal aspect of the thoracic limb.}, number={7}, journal={Veterinary Surgery}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Trumpatori, Brian J. and Carter, Jennifer E. and Hash, Jon and Davidson, Gigi S. and Mathews, Kyle G. and Roe, Simon C. and Lascelles, B.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of patient positioning and slice selection on these angles, and an attempt was made to devise a repeatable method of measuring these angles that would eliminate positioning effects. We found significant variation in AAs with small differences in pelvic tilt and slice selection. Dorsal acetabular rim angles were not affected. As a result of positioning differences from one CT study to the next, every attempt should be made to standardize pelvic tilt, or eliminate its effect on AAs by standardizing gantry angle in relation to an anatomic landmark that will not change over time. The floor of the sacral vertebral canal may be a reasonable landmark for this purpose and deserves further study.}, number={1}, journal={Veterinary Radiology Ultrasound}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Wang, Sandy I. and Mathews, Kyle G. and Robertson, Ian D. and Stebbins, Marty and Trumpatori, Brian J.}, year={2005}, month={Jan}, pages={39–43} }

The relationship between the area of dorsal acetabular rim that is subject to early damage in dogs with coxofemoral joint laxity, and the “DAR point” identified on dorsal acetabular rim (DAR) radiographic views was examined. Radiographs and digital photographs were made of the pelvis harvested from each of six skeletally mature dogs. Through analysis of these images, it was determined that in the standing animal, the DAR point is located 4–6 mm (or approximately 37°) caudal to the dorsal acetabular rim area that is prone to early damage in dogs with coxofemoral joint laxity. This study suggests that the DAR radiographic view may under‐represent changes to the dorsal acetabular rim in dogs with coxofemoral laxity.}, number={5}, journal={Veterinary Radiology Ultrasound}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Trumpatori, Brian J. and Mathews, Kyle G. and Roe, Simon R. and Robertson, Ian D.}, year={2003}, month={Sep}, pages={526–532} }
