Summary: This study investigated a case series of patients who developed hypopyon after periorbital corticosteroid injection. The results showed that all three cases were diagnosed with HSV stromal keratitis or endotheliitis and successfully treated with topical steroids and antiviral treatment. The study concluded that periocular corticosteroid injection is not recommended for HSV keratitis, and topical corticosteroids are the best choice for treating HSV stromal keratitis and endotheliitis.

Summary: Abdominal tuberculosis is a commonly overlooked disease in children, and delayed or wrong diagnosis can lead to severe consequences. This report discusses five cases of abdominal tuberculosis diagnosed among 216 pediatric patients in Italy. The cases highlight the complexity and potential severity of abdominal tuberculosis, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Further research is needed to determine the appropriate duration of therapy and management of drug-resistant abdominal tuberculosis cases.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the changes in serum calcium/parathyroid hormone (PTH) level and medical treatment strategies in pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) patients during pregnancy and the postpartum period. The results showed inconsistent changes in calcium metabolism during pregnancy, while the serum PTH level varied depending on the condition of the patients. Most patients had good pregnancy outcomes.

Summary: This study evaluated the outcomes of periocular procedures for recent facial paralysis. The results showed that upper eyelid lipofilling and midface suspension surgery can reduce ocular dryness symptoms and the need for eye protection measures.

Summary: The present case series demonstrates the efficacy of the FIVE protocol for peri-implant phenotype modification therapy, resulting in the generation of attached keratinized mucosa in various applications. This protocol provides an alternative to autogenous mucosal graft harvesting.

Summary: This study provides an update on the current status of equine piroplasmosis (EP) in horses in the Netherlands. The seroprevalence of EP in Dutch horses is very low, while horses from abroad have a higher seroprevalence. Monitoring of EP is necessary due to the presence of tick vectors and the import of horses from endemic areas.

Summary: This case series discusses the clinical presentation, ultrasonographic findings, treatment, and outcome of 5 horses with superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) lesions within the carpal canal. The horses' ages ranged from 11-28 years, and presented with an acute, unilateral forelimb lameness which worsened following proximal limb flexion. Diagnostic anesthesia of the ulnar nerve, when performed, abolished the lameness. Three out of the five horses returned to their previous level of performance, while two were euthanized.

Summary: Intravenous infusion of RA in COVID-19 patients is safe and reduces inflammation, improves oxygen saturation, and decreases D-dimer levels. In addition, studies in mice show that RA increases survival rate in SARS-CoV-2-infected mice.

Summary: Several studies have described the faecal microbiota of horses and factors influencing its composition, but with substantial variation in results. The current study in The Netherlands investigated the microbiota composition in healthy horses and ponies under standard conditions, finding that factors such as location, age, season, horse type, and pasture access significantly affect the composition. This research provides important baseline information for future studies on equine faecal microbiota composition and its influencing factors.

Summary: This case series describes the effects of excessive vitamin D3 intake in cats due to defective pet food formulations, leading to health risks such as hypercalcemia and soft tissue mineralization. Treatment involved withdrawing the affected food and medical management of hypercalcemia, resulting in recovery for most cats, although two developed chronic kidney disease.

Summary: This study found that a patient exposed to infected dogs in a breeding facility was diagnosed with Brucella canis infection. The transboundary spread of B. canis through (illegal) import of infected dogs to non-endemic countries in Europe suggests the need to consider B. canis infection in European patients with occupational exposure to dogs.

Summary: The resolution of macroscopic inflammatory lesions in cases of guttural pouch mycosis (GPM) in horses can be highly variable, and the resolution of neurological disorders is often challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of topical oxygen therapy (TOT) in horses with induced GPM and naturally occurring disease. The results suggest that TOT can effectively modulate GPM and lead to recovery of neurological disorders.

Summary: This study retrospectively reviewed cases of horses with Coccidioidomycosis in the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory from 1990 to 2020. The study found a low prevalence of Coccidioidomycosis in horses, but observed that the disease can affect multiple organs, characterized by multifocal pyogranulomatous inflammation. Therefore, Coccidioidomycosis should be considered as a possible diagnosis in horses with persistent cough, chronic weight loss, fever, and a travel history to, or living in, endemic regions.

Summary: Simple Summary Standing ophthalmic surgeries in horses often use blind retrobulbar block for anesthesia and akinesia of the eye. However, this technique can lead to complications. Ultrasound-guided retrobulbar block has been described in equine cadavers but its effectiveness has not been thoroughly evaluated. This study compares blind and ultrasound-guided approaches to retrobulbar block placement in horses and evaluates the effect of training on ultrasound guidance.
