Bacterial pathogens were isolated from dogs with urinary tract infection (UTI) in local animal hospitals between August 2003 and December 2009. Bacteria were isolated from urine of 47 dogs. The isolated pathogens were Escherichia coli (n = 27), Streptococcus spp. (n = 7), Staphylococcus spp. (n = 5), Enterobacter spp. (n = 3), Proteus spp. (n = 2), other species were 3 strains, respectively. E. coli were susceptible to imimpenem, polymyxin B, amikacin, cephalosporins, aztreonam, amoxicillin clavulate, cephalosporins, tricarcillin, and amoxicillin clavulate, while were resistant bacitracin, erythromycin, lincomycin, oxacillin, penicillin, and novobiocin. Streptococcus spp. were susceptible to bacitracin, imimpenem, and trimethoprime-sulfa, while were highly resistant amikacin, cefotaxim, cefoxitin, cloxacillin, gentamicin, lincomycin, oxacillin, penicillin, streptomycin, and tobramycin. Staphylococcus spp. were susceptible to cefoxitin, doxycycline, enrofloxacin, imimpenem, and tobramycin, but were resistant aztreonam and tetracycline.

Purpose MR neurography (MRN) is an imaging technique optimized to visualize the peripheral nerves. This review aimed to discover an optimized protocol for MRN of the lumbosacral plexus (LSP) and identify evidence for the clinical benefit of lumbosacral plexopathies. Materials and Methods We performed a systematic search of the two medical databases until September 2021. 'Magnetic resonance imaging', 'lumbosacral plexus', 'neurologic disease', or equivalent terms were used to search the literature. We extracted information on indications, MRN protocols for LSP, and clinical efficacy from 55 studies among those searched. Results MRN of the LSP is useful for displaying the distribution of peripheral nerve disease, guiding perineural injections, and assessing extraspinal causes of sciatica. Three-dimensional short-tau inversion recovery turbo spin-echo combined with vascular suppression is the mainstay of MRN. Conclusion Future work on the MRN of LSP should be directed to technical maturation and clinical validation of efficacy.

장출혈증후군은 성숙한 젖소의 치명적인 질환으로서 급성으로 진행하는 복부팽창, 쇼크, 장폐쇄, 흑변, 대변 속에 소화된 혈액응괴 또는 응괴쪼가리 등을 나타내는 것이 특정이다. 가능성이 있는 소인으로서 비유로 인한 신체적 스트레스, 곰팡이 핀 사료 및/또는 Clostridium perfringens 의 증식을 촉진하는 관리, 식이 및 환경 요인 등이 있다. 장출혈증후군의 발병기전에 대해 더 많이 밝혀질 때까지 예방대책은 위에 설명한 추정적인 요인들에 초점을 맞춰야 하며, 개개의 목장에 필요에 맞게 계획되어야 한다. 또한 이러한 의사결정 과정에 예산에 대한 세심한 분석도 해야 한다.

난소를 제거한 57개월령의 golden retrieve개가 심한 배뇨실금을 나타내며 양측성 요관이소증으로, 좌측에는 통상적인 새요관개구술(neoureterostomy)로 방광삼각지대에 새로운 요관개구부를 만들었고 방광목에 위치한 우측요관의 개구부는 그 부위를 확장만 시킴으로써 수술 후 배뇨실금 증상을 교정할 수 있었다. 방광목확장개구수술방법은 본 증례에서 처음으로 개에 시도되어 좋은 수술결과를 나타내었고 요관개구부가 방광목인 이소증 치료에 효과가 있을 것으로 생각되며 지속적인 임상적용과 관찰이 요구된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of clinical competence and influencing factors of clinical competence in nursing students. The data was collected using questionnaire from 207 students who running the 2nd grade courses of nursing curricula in college and was performed from August 25 to September 15. In clinical competence, there were significant differences in satisfaction of major, satisfaction of clinical experience. There was a positive correlation among clinical competence and professional self-concept, critical thinking disposition and self-directed learning ability. The most effective factor on clinical competence was self-directed learning ability, followed by professional self-concept and critical thinking disposition. The study findings suggest that to develop the effective learning program with achievement level of clinical competency for nursing students.

The purpose of this study was to identify the influencing factors of satisfaction for clinical practice, critical thinking disposition on clinical competency in nursing students who have experienced non-face-to-face clinical practice. The participants in this study were 163 nursing students at four university. A on line survey was conducted from January 2021 to February, 2021. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, scheffé test, pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis by SPSS 22.0 version. The results of this study indicate that satisfaction for clinical practice, and critical thinking disposition have an influence on clinical competency in nursing students. The total explanation of clinical competency was 60.6%. Based on this, it is suggested to develop a program to improve clinical practice satisfaction and critical thinking tendency to increase clinical performance of nursing students who have experienced non-face-to-face clinical practice.

복부비만(내장지방 비만)은 인슐린 저항성과 밀접한 관련이 있으며 임상에서는 대사증후군의 형태로 나타나고, 제2형 당뇨병과 심혈관질환의 주요 위험요인으로 알려져 있다. 유전적 요인, 운동부족, 섭취량 과다, 고지방 고단순당식 등이 주요 원인이며, 치료는 원인을 찾아 이를 해결하고 동반질환이나 위험요인을 치료하며 식사요법과 운동을 병행하여 체중을 줄이고 필요한 경우 약물을 사용하는 것이다.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to assess the clinical outcome of arthroscopic release of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon in chronic recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis and tried to determine any prognostic factors. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 24 patients with lateral epicondylitis treated by arthroscopic ECRB release was performed. Outcome measures included a patient self rating and visual analog scale (VAS). Functional evaluation was made with Quick-disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) score system to identify preoperative factors that might be associated with the outcomes. Results: Twenty one (88%) elbows received benefit from the procedure. A mean preoperative VAS pain score and the mean Quick-DASH were significantly improved at final follow up. Age, sex, dominant arm and duration of symptom, presence of capsular tear or calcification did not correlate significantly with the clinical outcome. Three of four patients without T2-weighted high signal focus of the ECRB origin on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed higher Quick-DASH score. Conclusion: Arthroscopic release of the ECRB is an effective option for chronic recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis. Lack of high signal focus on preoperative MRI is significantly associated with a poor surgical outcome and a considerable factor for the proper surgical indication.

A 4.65 kg 13-month-old male Pekingese dog was referred to veterinary teaching hospital of Konkuk University for evaluation of dysuria. On physical examination, severe distention of urinary bladder was found in abdominal palpation. Urinary catheter could not be guided into urinary bladder. On serum biochemistry, blood urea nitrogen (35.6 mg/dl) and creatinine (1.9 mg/dl) were increased. Obstruction part of proximal membranous urethra was founded on urethrogram. The length (13 mm) of obstruction part was callipered by cystourethrogram and urethrogram on operation. Surgical resection of obstruction part of urethra was performed without pubic osteotomy, and anastomosis was performed with 5-0 polyglycolic acid. Omentum was placed around the urethral anastomosis. On first day after surgery, appetite was good. On day 5, complete blood count and serum biochemistry showed normal range but mild urinary incontinence was showed after removing catheter. On day 7, urinalysis showed normal condition. On day 14, no leakage of surgical site was observed in excretory urogram. On day 21, no more urinary incontinence and good micturition were found. On 1 year later, the patient showed healthy condition without recurrence.
