“…There is usually a recommendation by veterinarians without scientific support of limiting total injectate volume of local anesthetics to a maximum of 6 mL in dogs weighing more than 30 kg (10). However, larger volumes have been reported (8.6 mL) without complications (53). The authors have also used higher volumes (e.g., 8 mL) of epidural injectate in large canine breeds without complications but one should consider that smaller volume per kg of bodyweight (less than 0.2 mL kg −1 ) is often enough for pelvic limb surgery.…”

This review aims to report an update on drugs administered into the epidural space for anesthesia and analgesia in dogs, describing their potential advantages and disadvantages in the clinical setting. Databases searched include Pubmed, Google scholar, and CAB abstracts. Benefits of administering local anesthetics, opioids, and alpha2 agonists into the epidural space include the use of lower doses of general anesthetics (anesthetic “sparing” effect), perioperative analgesia, and reduced side effects associated with systemic administration of drugs. However, the potential for cardiorespiratory compromise, neurotoxicity, and other adverse effects should be considered when using the epidural route of administration. When these variables are considered, the epidural technique is useful as a complementary method of anesthesia for preventive and postoperative analgesia and/or as part of a balanced anesthesia technique.

“…Additionally, morphine has been associated with reduced concentrations of inhaled anesthetics in dogs [64,65]. While there are limited reports on the use of epidural anesthesia for FHNE in dogs [31,66,67], none of them have explored its relationship with the postoperative period. Therefore, our study serves as a foundation for investigating the effects of epidural anesthesia (morphine ± local anesthetic) on the limb's TFWB.…”

This study aimed to compare postoperative analgesia and the time of limb weight bearing induced by the intraoperative administration of a local anesthetic at the site of the femoral head and neck excision (FHNE) in dogs, with and without the administration of preoperative epidural anesthesia. Additionally, the impact of postoperative opioid drug administration on weight-bearing time was examined. This randomized, blinded, prospective clinical study included 30 client-owned dogs. The dogs were randomly divided into three groups (A, B, C), each further divided into two subgroups (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2). Group A received epidural anesthesia and ropivacaine at the ostectomy site, Group B received only ropivacaine, and Group C served as the control group. Subgroup 1 received a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug postoperatively, while Subgroup 2 had tramadol added to their regimen. Pain assessment was conducted using the University of Melbourne Pain Scale (UMPS) and an algometer. The study concluded that multimodal analgesia, utilizing all the aforementioned analgesic techniques, resulted in faster limb weight bearing for dogs undergoing FHNE.

“…The different seed dispersal strategies favour dissemination along the canals: C. procera seeds are easily winddispersed over long distances (Francis, 2004) and P. juliflora seeds are dispersed by several animals such as cattle and goats (Shiferaw et al, 2004) that are common in the region. All three species' seeds are capable of being dispersed by water (Brandão, 1995;Florentine & Westbrooke, 2005;Paciecznik et al, 2001) over the entire extension of the canals. In addition, land moving and vehicle traffic can transport seeds over long distances (Lemke et al, 2019) and create seed banks in places such as 'dumping' areas and steep slopes.…”

1. Linear infrastructure intrusions are common around the world to meet the needs of a growing and interconnected human population. The implementation of linear infrastructures involves numerous forms and mechanisms of land-use transformation that can facilitate and serve as pathways to the spread of invasive non-native species. However, the type and intensity of land transformations change over time and this can affect the frequency and intensity in which linear infrastructures route the spread of invasive species.2. Here, we present results collected over 5 years of monitoring surveys (2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019) to assess the relationship between the construction of one of the largest canals to date in Brazil and the spread of non-native species. We studied the Integration Project of the São Francisco River (PISF), a canal fully inserted in the Caatinga biome, a tropical dry forest ecosystem for which information on invasion dynamics are little known. 3. Our results confirmed PISF canals served as habitat and dispersal corridors for non-native plant species. Monitoring surveys recorded 26 non-native species established along the 83.2 km 2 PISF deployment area. Eleven years after the canal deployment area was completely cleared of vegetation, 92.3% of its extension had non-native plant populations. Of the 10 species assessed for their population status, 8 had invasive populations. 4. The time immediately after construction work finished was the critical stage for the spread of non-native woody plants, which increased their distributions with reduced levels of construction intervention, whereas most of the herbaceous species reduced their distributions. When human intervention was drastically reduced, many populations of non-native plants rapidly formed at the deployment area. 5. Policy implications. Man-made linear infrastructures can remove biogeographical barriers and serve as pathways for the spread of invasive species over long distances and across ecosystems. Thus, the planning, construction and management of such infrastructures should include measures and funding for risk assessment, prevention, monitoring and control of biological invasions. Agencies responsible for environmental licensing should mandate invasive species management as part of the installation and operation licensing conditions.
