Robert Jones bandage pressure range assessment using a pressure mapping system and application to band calibration

International audienceThe Robert Jones bandage (RJ) is a widely used bandage among veterinary surgeons to maintain physiological position of the limbs. It is a 3-layer composite bandage, which realization involves the use of several types of bands in a specific arrangement to give the bandage all its properties. Its proper making is difficult and requires experience, as the bandage needs to be not too tight or not too loose. This issue is a recurrent matter with every type of compression bandage (Rimaud et al. 2014). For the realization of a RJ, various types of bands can be used, depending on the surgeon but each layer has its own function that cannot be changed.The purpose of this study is to measure the pressure under a RJ bandage with a pressure mapping system and to evaluate the properties of some commonly used bands. The final application of these results is to propose a band calibration system to apply the correct pressure as a function of the band’s deformation

2 Cas Originaux de Fistule Œsophagienne

Les fistules œsophagiennes sont des affections rares chez les Carnivores Domestiques. Elles se définissent comme une communication entre l'œsophage et la peau ou une cavité. Deux cas illustrent la diversité de ces fistules : fistule œsophago-trachéale et œsophago-cutanée

2 Cas de Lipomes Infiltrants de la Cuisse

Malgré la bonne connaissance des lipomes par le vétérinaire, les lipomes infiltrants et les autres tumeurs du tissu adipeux restent méconnus. Ces cas illustrent le diagnostic et le traitement des lipomes infiltrants

Ruptures Urétrales d'Origine Traumatique à partir de 3 Cas

Les ruptures des voies urinaires basses sont fréquemment associées à des traumatismes abdominaux ou pelviens. Toutefois, les lésions urétrales sont rares. Parmi l'ensemble des cas traités, l'étude des deux cas suivants permet d'illustrer les modalités de prise en charge, les difficultés thérapeutiques et les complications de ces lésions

Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Single or Repeated Intra-Articular Injection of Allogeneic Neonatal Mesenchymal Stromal Cells for Managing Pain and Lameness in Moderate to Severe Canine Osteoarthritis Without Anti-inflammatory Pharmacological Support: Pilot Clinical Study

Objective: To explore the long-term safety and efficacy of canine allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) administered intra-articularly as single or repeated injections in appendicular joints of dogs affected by moderate to severe refractory osteoarthritis.Study Design: 22 pet dogs were recruited into a non-randomized, open and monocentric study initially administering one cellular injection. A second injection was offered after 6 months to owners if the first injection did not produce expected results.Materials and Methods: Anti-inflammatory treatment (if prescribed) was discontinued at last one week before the onset of treatment. Each injection consisted of at least 10 million viable neonatal allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells obtained from fetal adnexa. Medical data was collected from veterinary clinical evaluations of joints up to 6 months post-injection and owner's assessment of their dog's mobility and well-being followed for a further 2 years when possible.Results: Mild, immediate self-limiting inflammatory joint reactions were observed in 5/22 joints after the first injection, and in almost all dogs having a subsequent injection. No other MSC-related adverse medical events were reported, neither during the 6 months follow up visits, nor during the long-term (2-years) safety follow up. Veterinary clinical evaluation showed a significant and durable clinical improvement (up to 6 months) following MSC administration. Eight dogs (11 joints) were re-injected 6 months apart, sustaining clinical benefits up to 1 year. Owner's global satisfaction reached 75% at 2 years post-treatmentConclusion: Our data suggest that a single or repeated intra-articular administration of neonatal MSC in dogs with moderate to severe OA is a safe procedure and confer clinical benefits over a 24-month period. When humoral response against MSC is investigated by flow cytometry, a positive mild and transient signal was detected in only one dog from the studied cohort, this dog having had a positive clinical outcome
