要旨

Objective:

To evaluate functional outcome and owner satisfaction of chondrodysplastic dog breeds undergoing full limb amputation.

Methods:

Medical records from 4 academic institutions were reviewed for chondrodysplastic dog breeds that underwent limb amputation from March 2015 to April 2024. Data collected included signalment, reason for amputation, day of return to ambulation with or without assistance, and comorbidities. Owner satisfaction was investigated via a nonvalidated questionnaire. Continuous data were analyzed for normal distribution and expressed as means if normally distributed and medians if nonnormally distributed. Categorial data were reported as frequencies, and comparisons between groups were performed with the Fisher exact test.

Results:

At the time of discharge, 19 of 28 dogs (68%) were walking unassisted, 8 of 28 (29%) were walking with assistance, and 1 of 28 (4%) was unable to walk. Eighty-seven percent (13 of 15) of dogs that underwent a thoracic limb amputation were able to ambulate without assistance at the time of discharge, while only 46% (6 of 13) of dogs in the pelvic limb group were able to do so. Over the course of the postoperative period, 25 of 28 dogs (89%) were independently ambulatory. Overall, 18 of 28 owners (64%) completed the satisfaction questionnaire, and 13 of 18 (72%) were very satisfied with the outcome.

Conclusions:

The majority of chondrodysplastic dog breeds did well following amputation and achieved the ability to ambulate independently. Furthermore, dog owners reported high levels of satisfaction following this procedure.

Clinical Relevance:

This information may help dog owners make informed decisions when considering a limb amputation for a chondrodysplastic dog.

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Hypothesis: Accept or Fail to Reject?

Hypothesis: Accept or Fail to Reject?

The outcome of any hypothesis testing leads to rejecting or not rejecting the null hypothesis. This decision is taken based on the analysis of the data, an appropriate test statistic, an appropriate confidence level, the critical values, and P-values. However, when the evidence suggests that the null hypothesis cannot be rejected, is it right to say, 'Accept' the null hypothesis?
There are two ways to indicate that the null hypothesis is not rejected. 'Accept' the null...

Arteries of Lower Limbs

Arteries of Lower Limbs

The external iliac artery transitions out of the body cavity, entering the femoral region of the lower leg, and is renamed the femoral artery at the point where it traverses the body wall. This artery is responsible for the distribution of blood to the thigh's deep muscles and the skin's ventral and lateral regions, achieved through several minor branches and the lateral deep femoral artery, which also spawns a lateral circumflex artery. The knee area receives blood from the genicular...

Veins of Lower Limbs

Veins of Lower Limbs

The human body consists of an intricate network of veins responsible for the crucial task of blood drainage from the lower limbs. These veins can be categorized into two main types: deep veins and superficial veins.
Formed by the union of the medial and lateral plantar veins, the posterior tibial vein, rising through the calf muscle, assimilates the fibular vein. The anterior tibial vein, a superior extension of the foot's dorsalis pedis vein, merges with the posterior tibial vein at the...

Veins of Upper Limbs

Veins of Upper Limbs

The human circulatory system, a marvel of biological engineering, is a complex network of vessels that transport blood throughout the body. Among these, the veins responsible for carrying blood from the upper limbs are divided into two categories: deep and superficial.
The deep venous system is primarily composed of the ulnar and radial veins. The ulnar vein, which drains the fingers through the superficial palmar venous arches, and the radial vein, which serves the palms via the deep palmar...

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...
