INTRODUCTION The objectives of this study were to demonstrate a method that could be used to quantify three-dimensional (3D) tooth displacement from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and to assess its accuracy. METHODS Images of the same mandible taken 2 weeks apart with no treatment were used. Four mandibular teeth-left lateral incisor, left canine, left first premolar, and left fi...

A tool was developed to aid in ruminal insertion of abomasal infusion lines into dairy cows. The tool consisted of 2 pieces cut from polyvinyl chloride pipe. The first piece of pipe, the insertion tool, contained a groove that held the flexible plastic flange that is on the end of the infusion line. The insertion tool containing the flange was inserted into the ruminal cannula, through the sulc...

A seven-year-old male presented with fever, left-sided facial redness, swelling and proptosis over a 24-hour period. He had noted left-sided toothache and rhinorrhea over the preceding week. On presentation, he stated that he was unable to see " anything, including light " from his left eye. On physical examination, the patient was febrile with left periorbital swelling and significant left-sid...

We examined whether the postoperative prognosis of beef cattle with left displaced abomasum (LDA) can be estimated from changes in laboratory parameters. Preoperatively, beef cattle with LDA showed increases in plasma glucose with decreased serum insulin in the glucose tolerance test compared to non-LDA cattle. Postoperatively, the cattle with LDA were retrospectively divided into two groups, g...

Ruminal and abomasal cannulated mature wethers were fed 800 g daily of low quality bermudagrass (49 days of age, containing 8.6% crude protein) and used in a 4 x 4 latin square experiment to study the effects of different protein supplements on the daily quantity of protein and amino acids reaching the abomasum and on rumen microbial protein synthesis. Treatments were as follows: (1) control (l...

According to construction scheme of some weak surrounding rock large span double and multi-arch tunnel works, finite element value simulation method is adopted to research weak surrounding rock deformation characteristic, anchor bolt mechanics characteristic, preliminary support and secondary lining structure mechanical characteristics, etc, and the research result shows that: repeatedly distur...

A 76-year-old male underwent a left upper lobectomy with wedge resection of the superior segment of the left lower lobe using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for non-small-cell lung cancer of the left upper lobe. He presented with shortness of breath, fever, and leukocytosis. Chest radiography showed atelectasis at the remaining left lower lobe. Bronchoscopy revealed narrowing of th...
