“…Antimicrobial therapy was non‐standardised in this study, given its retrospective nature, therefore, no meaningful statistical analysis was possible to assess the impact of antimicrobial choice on post‐operative outcomes. It is well documented that culture is often unrewarding from synovial structures (Madison et al 1991; Schneider et al 1992; Dumoulin et al 2010; Annear et al 2011; Lescun 2011) and the delay in obtaining the results of bacterial culture means that therapy must be initiated before results are available. Systemic broad‐spectrum antimicrobials are recommended for treating synovial sepsis until the results of culture and sensitivity are known (Baxter 2004) and, in our cases, a combination of gentamicin and penicillin was routinely used as the initial treatment, as previously recommended (Baxter 2004; McIlwraith et al, 2015).…”

Summary Sepsis of the calcaneal bursae (CB) presents significant treatment challenges with limited clinical data available in the literature. The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to assess the clinical outcomes associated with CB lavage using either a through‐and‐through needle or bursoscopic technique. Clinical records of 29 horses treated for septic calcaneal bursitis using either technique between 2005 and 2019 were reviewed. Fisher’s exact test was used to assess statistical significance between first surgical technique and success at first surgery (i.e. not requiring >1 lavage), survival to discharge and return to work (RTW). Bursoscopy was performed in 13/29 (44.8%) cases, and needle lavage in 16/29 (55.2%). In the needle group, 12 (75%) horses were discharged following the first surgery. Four had repeat interventions; two (12.5%) had needle lavage and two (12.5%) had bursoscopy. Of the two horses to have repeat needle lavage, one was subjected to euthanasia and one discharged, and of the two that underwent bursoscopy, one was discharged and one received a third bursoscopy prior to discharge. In the bursoscopy group, seven (53.8%) were discharged and three (23.1%) were subjected to euthanasia following the first surgery. Three (23.1%) received a second bursoscopic lavage with one discharged, one subjected to euthanasia and one having a third bursoscopic lavage prior to discharge. Overall, 18/24 (75%) followed up cases RTW, 10 (55.5%) from the needle group, eight (44.4%) the bursoscopy group. No statistically significant differences between first surgical technique used and success at first surgery (no subsequent lavage(s) required), survival to discharge or return to work were detected. The main limitations of this study are that it is a retrospective study, has a small population with limited statistical power and potential selection bias. No statistically significant differences existed between the outcomes of the two techniques, contrary to the belief that bursoscopic lavage is superior. Larger, multicentred studies, with greater statistical power are required to further assess this relationship.

En este trabajo analizamos, en primer lugar, la participación del colectivo de catedráticos de física y química de instituto durante el primer tercio del siglo XX en las actividades promovidas por la Junta para Ampliación de Estudios e Investigaciones Científicas. En segundo lugar, estudiamos como la creación del Instituto-Escuela de Madrid en 1918, un ensayo pedagógico dependiente de la Junta, supuso instaurar un nuevo marco para abordar la renovación de la enseñanza de la física y de la química en la segunda enseñanza y, al mismo tiempo, posibilitó una intensa relación entre los profesores universitarios que ejercían como maestros investigadores y el profesorado de secundaria. Por último, mostramos que con la llegada de la Segunda República el colectivo de catedráticos de física y química siguió el camino iniciado años atrás difundiendo y expandiendo la renovación de la enseñanza secundaria y continuó comprometido con la labor investigadora desarrollada en el Instituto Nacional de Física y Química.
