👨‍⚕️Upcoming Attendance Course Case Study - Basic Abdominal Ultrasound!👨‍⚕️

Question: While performing a complete abdominal ultrasound in a 3 years old female dog with an history of one single episode of vomiting, the only finding you detect is a very small, markedly hyperechoic nodular lesion affecting the periphery of the spleen adjacent to one of its vessels. What should be your main differential diagnosis for this lesion.

Answer: This small hyperechoic nodular splenic lesion very likely represents an incidental myelolipoma. These lesions often have a perivascular location in the spleen. Myelolipomas are benign focal accumulations of fat mixed with haematopoietic tissue. Small myelolipomas identified within the spleen will have no clinical significance . A definitive diagnosis could be obtained by performing a ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirate of the lesion but the small size and proximity of a vessel will make this procedure challenging.

👨‍⚕️Course Case Study - MS293 – Equine Respiratory Medicine Online Mini Series👨‍⚕️

Question: A 36-hour-old foal presents for a newborn foal examination. The owners report that the foal will cough and has milk from the nose when nursing. You perform an endoscopic examination and find the below. What is your diagnosis based on endoscopy findings? What would be the other common differential diagnosis for these clinical signs in a foal this age. What is your prognosis for this foal’s long-term outlook for survival?

Answer: This is a cleft palate. In newborn foals who present for milk from the nostrils, the primary differential diagnoses are pharyngeal weakness and cleft palate. Foals with pharyngeal weakness will typically improve with time and supportive care and usually have a good prognosis.

Horses with cleft palate have a guarded prognosis. Although surgical repair is possible, it is best suited for defects that involve less than 20% of the soft palate, and is generally a salvage procedure with a high complication rate. Conservative management in cases with small defects can be attempted; there is a high incidence of aspiration pneumonia, but if foals are able to manage with minimal aspiration and without development of systemic signs then they may survive to adulthood.

👨‍⚕️Course Case Study - MS303 - Hot Topics in Feline Medicine Online Mini Series👨‍⚕️

Question: A 10 year old Burmese cat, vaccinated against feline parvovirus, herpesvirus and calicivirus 7 months ago presents with blepharospasm, conjunctivitis, serous nasal discharge, pyrexia and inappetence one week after returning from a stay in a cattery. Dendritic corneal ulcers are revealed when fluorescein staining is performed. The owner is very angry and suggests the vaccination was incorrectly administered. How do you explain the apparent acute ‘cat flu’ and what pathogens may be involved?

Answer: Pathogens involved in acute upper respiratory tract disease in cats include feline herpesvirus, calicivirus and bacterial pathogens such as Chlamydia, Bordetella and Mycoplasma spp for example. The dendritic corneal ulcers are consistent with herpesvirus infection, but more than one pathogen could be present. Herpesvirus is known to recrudesce in previously infected but asymptomatic cats with stress such as a cattery stay, and you explain to the owner that vaccinated cats, if exposed to large amounts of virus, can still develop clinical signs.

👨‍⚕️Course Case Study - MS292 – Advanced Anaesthesia for Nurses Online Mini Series👨‍⚕️

Question: You are assessing the patient below prior to anaesthesia. What type of disease may the patient be suffering from and what ASA status might you assign to this patient? What other information do you need to appropriately categorise this patient on the ASA scale?

Answer: The patient is likely to be suffering from liver disease giving the icteric mucous membranes. This patient could be assigned ASA 3 or 4. ASA 3 would be a patient with severe systemic disease whereas 4 would be severe systemic disease that is a constant threat to life. More information on the clinical history and patient assessment alongside what the procedure is for would be needed to categorise further.

Critical thinking is not only the understanding and assessment of evidence based medicine, it is the strength of the team working with the patient as well as the problem solving of the ups and downs of patient care. This lecture will deep dive into what critical thinking is and how to develop it as a skill, as well as the barriers to critical thinking and how we can directly apply this to the ICU and our critical patients.

This CPD will take you through the wonderful world of electrodiagnostics. It will help you, in a simple approach, to understand what an EMG does, when it is normal and when it is abnormal. We will also present nerve conduction studies. Both tests are crucial in the diagnosis of conditions such as myopathies (e.g. polymyositis, masticatory muscle myositis), brachial plexus lesions, lateralised disc extrusions or peripheral nerve sheath tumour, or some generalised polyneuropathies, some having a very good prognosis such as acute polyradiculoneuritis, and many more diseases. These are conditions that are often underdiagnosed or diagnosed too late and EMG and nerve conduction studies allows to suspect these early on. This CPD will help you therefore to decide when you should think about EMG for your cases.

In this presentation we will look at some of the typical carpal injuries with clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of these being discussed. The lesser injuries can be treated conservatively and frequently do not present for intervention however we hope to describe and explain why dramatic intervention may be required for many of these injuries not just the severely affected cases.
Arthrodesis is frequently used as a salvage procedure however we will look at other therapies that may well be successful whilst reserving the arthrodesis for when the initial therapy fails if it does or if osteoarthritis becomes debilitating.

👩‍⚕️New Webinar!👩‍⚕️

In this webinar, we will discuss the pathophysiology and diagnosis of diabetes, discussing the key differences between cats and dogs. We will then spend time discussing the core concepts of how to manage diabetes including both insulin and non-insulin options. This includes a discussion about velagliflozin which has recently become available to the vet market and has the potential to change the management of feline diabetics significantly. We will also spend some time discussing how to interpret glucose curves and when to suspect resistance or pending remission. It is the authors hope that in addition to the academic discussion, that there are some practical tips to empower practitioners to be feel more confident managing these cases in their practice, especially for cases where referral to a specialist centre is not an option.
