Association between filum terminale internum length and pain in Cavalier King Charles spaniels with and without syringomyelia

JOURNAL OF VETERINARY INTERNAL MEDICINE, 35(1), 363–371.

By: C. Sparks n, C. Woelfel n, I. Robertson n & N. Olby n 

author keywords: Chiari-like malformation; conus medullaris; dural sac; morphometry; tethered cord
MeSH headings : Animals; Cauda Equina / diagnostic imaging; Dog Diseases; Dogs; Magnetic Resonance Imaging / veterinary; Pain / veterinary; Prospective Studies; Reproducibility of Results; Syringomyelia / diagnostic imaging; Syringomyelia / veterinary
topics (OpenAlex): Spinal Dysraphism and Malformations; Spinal Cord Injury Research; Congenital Anomalies and Fetal Surgery
TL;DR: Painful CKCS without SM have decreased distance between the termination of the spinal cord and dural sac, suggesting a shorter FTIL, and more caudal spinal cord termination is associated with development of lumbar SM. (via Semantic Scholar)

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 31(3), 814–824.

By: J. Fenn *, E. Laber n, K. Williams n, C. Rousse n, P. Early n, C. Mariani n , K. Munana n , S. Decker * ...

Contributors: J. Fenn *, E. Laber n, K. Williams n, C. Rousse n, P. Early n, C. Mariani n , K. Muñana n , S. De Decker *, H. Volk *, N. Olby n 

author keywords: Anesthesia; Canine; Intervertebral disk extrusion; Prognosis; Spinal cord injury
MeSH headings : Anesthesia, General / adverse effects; Anesthesia, General / methods; Anesthesia, General / veterinary; Animals; Bradycardia / chemically induced; Bradycardia / veterinary; Decompression, Surgical / methods; Decompression, Surgical / veterinary; Dog Diseases / surgery; Dogs; Female; Hypotension / chemically induced; Hypotension / veterinary; Intervertebral Disc Displacement / surgery; Intervertebral Disc Displacement / veterinary; Laminectomy / methods; Laminectomy / veterinary; Male; Retrospective Studies; Thoracic Vertebrae / surgery; Treatment Outcome
topics (OpenAlex): Veterinary Orthopedics and Neurology; Spine and Intervertebral Disc Pathology; Shoulder Injury and Treatment
TL;DR: Across all outcome measures, regression tree analysis highlighted functional grade at presentation as the primary determining factor, and among pain perception negative dogs, there was a possible association between increased duration of surgery and poorer outcome. (via Semantic Scholar)
