“…The introduction of ultrasound-guided techniques in clinical practice for the performance of locoregional sciatic and femoral nerve blocks has considerably increased their success rates (Perlas et al 2008;Ponde et al 2013). In dogs, the success rate of ultrasoundguided sciatic nerve block varies between 86% and 93% (Marolf et al 2019). An experienced clinician, sufficient practice or previous training are additional advantages associated with increased success rates (Rueda Rojas et al 2019).…”

“…In animals, the technique of ultrasound guidance for the blockade of large peripheral nerves such as the sciatic and the femoral nerves have been described in anatomical studies (Campoy et al 2010;Shilo et al 2010). The large majority of studies describing ultrasound-guided sciatic and femoral nerve block were performed on cadavers, experimental or healthy dogs (Costa-Farr e et al 2011;Cathasaigh et al 2018;Marolf et al 2019). Ultrasound-guided sciatic and femoral nerve blocks are now commonly used in clinical practice to control nociception in canine patients undergoing pelvic limb surgery (Campoy et al 2012).…”

“…Improved dog health and longevity can be ascribed to advanced diagnostic and veterinary treatment procedures [11,12,13]. In addition, dogs have become an ideal animal experimental model, because they have developed nervous and digestive systems [14,15,16], as well as a number of physiological characteristics that are similar to humans [17]. As a result, dogs are often used in drug development clinical trials [18,19].…”

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the most promising seed cells for cell therapy. Comparing the biological and transcriptome gene characteristics of MSCs from different sources provides an important basis for the screening of clinically used cells. The main purpose of this experiment was to establish methods for the isolation and culture of MSCs from five different canine sources, including adipose tissue, bone marrow, umbilical cord, amniotic membrane, and placenta, and compare biological and transcriptome characteristics of MSCs, in order to provide a basis for the clinical application of canine MSCs. MSCs were isolated from Chinese pastoral dogs, and the following experiments were performed: (1) the third, sixth, and ninth generations of cells were counted, respectively, and a growth curve was plotted to calculate the MSC population doubling time; (2) the expression of CD34 and CD44 surface markers was studied by immunofluorescence; (3) the third generation of cells were used for osteogenetic and adipogenic differentiation experiments; and (4) MSC transcriptome profiles were performed using RNA sequencing. All of the five types of MSCs showed fibroblast-like adherent growth. The cell surface expressed CD44 instead of CD34; the third-generation MSCs had the highest proliferative activity. The average population doubling time of adipose mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs), placenta mesenchymal stem cells (P-MSCs), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs), and amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (AM-MSCs) were 15.8 h, 21.2 h, 26.2 h, 35 h, and 41.9 h, respectively. All five types of MSCs could be induced to differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts in vitro, with lipid droplets appearing after 8 days and bone formation occurring 5 days after AD-MSC induction. However, the multilineage differentiation for the remaining of MSCs was longer compared to that of the AD-MSCs. The MSC transcriptome profiles showed that AD-MSC and BM-MSCs had the highest homology, while P-MSCs were significantly different compared to the other four types of MSCs. All the isolated MSCs had the main biological characteristics of MSCs. AD-MSCs had the shortest time for proliferation, adipogenesis, and osteogenic differentiation.

“…Its use has been described for different locoregional techniques in cattle 24–26. It is also commonly used for peripheral nerve blocks in other species with a reported duration of action of up to 10 hours 27–30. Based on the surgery time of more than six hours, we can deduce that, in this case, bupivacaine provided a sensory block for at least seven hours.…”

A 26-day-old Pustertaler Sprinzer calf was referred to the ruminant clinic of the Veterinary University of Vienna for internal fixation of a suspected traumatic radius–ulnar fracture of the left forelimb. Preanaesthetic medication consisted of xylazine 0.06 mg/kg and ketamine 6 mg/kg intramuscularly, followed by induction of anaesthesia with ketamine 2.7 mg/kg intravenously. Anaesthesia was maintained with isoflurane in oxygen. A modified lateral ultrasound-guided radial, ulnar, median and musculocutaneous (RUMM) block was performed using 0.3 ml/kg bupivacaine 0.5 per cent. Total surgical time was 385 minutes. Vital parameters remained stable throughout surgery, with no rescue analgesia required at any point. Recovery from anaesthesia was uneventful. The calf received morphine 0.1 mg/kg intramuscularly every four hours for the following four days. Additionally, carprofen 1.4 mg/kg intramuscularly was administered once daily for the following seven days. Fifty-one days after surgical stabilisation, the plate was removed, and the calf was discharged home. The described modified lateral RUMM block using bupivacaine 0.5 per cent provided analgesia for at least 6.5 hours.
