    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the accuracy with which veterinary anaesthetists and nurses of different experience draw up small volumes of liquid.
    Study design: Prospective blinded randomized study.
    Methods: A group of seven European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia (ECVAA) diplomates, six ECVAA residents and six anaesthesia nurses participated in the study. For each participant, five target volumes between 0.01 and 1.0 mL were randomly allocated. They were drawn up 20 times in random order using a 1 mL syringe attached to a 23 gauge needle. A total of 1900 measurements were analysed. An investigator filled the syringe and needle dead space with water for injection before each experiment. The change in mass of the syringe once filled to the target volume was used to calculate the actual volume of liquid drawn up.
    Results: Large errors were made with measurements < 0.04 mL, so they were excluded from the statistical analysis. There was a significant effect of the target volume (p < 0.001) and of the order (p < 0.01). For each mL increase in the target volume, the absolute error decreased by 4% and from the first to the hundredth withdrawal each participant's absolute error decreased by 1%. The target volume was underestimated in 52.3% of measurements, 42% were overestimated and 5.7% were on target. None of the between-subject predictor variables approached significance.
    Conclusions and clinical relevance: Accuracy of veterinary anaesthetists and nurses in drawing up medications decreases as the target volume becomes smaller. Small veterinary patients receive small volumes of anaesthetic drugs with higher risks of overdosing compared with larger dogs. Years of experience and staff grade are not associated with greater accuracy. Large percentage errors may be seen with target volumes less than 0.04 mL. Dilutions are recommended for volumes > 0.19 mL in 1 mL syringe.

    Abstract Abstract: Carpels, T, Scobie, N, Macfarlane, NG, and Kemi, OJ. Mind the gap: comparison of external load and load variation between a reserve team in a 1-game week microcycle and its first team in a 2-game week microcycle within an elite professional soccer club. J Strength Cond Res 38(5): e235-e242, 2024-The aim of this study was to quantify and compare weekly external load and within-week load variation of reserve team players (RES) in a 1-game week microcycle to first team players (FT) in a 2-game week microcycle within the same professional soccer club. External load data were collected between 2017 and 2020 for the following parameters: duration, total distance (TD), total high-speed distance (THSD; >19.8 km·h -1 ), high-speed distance (HSD; 19.8-25.2 km·h -1 ), sprint distance (SD; >25.2 km·h -1 ), number of sprints (number of efforts >25.2 km·h -1 ), number of high-speed efforts (number of HS efforts >19.8 km·h -1 ), meters per minute (m·min -1 ), and high-speed meters per minute (HS m·min -1 ). First team players were subcategorized into starters (ST) and nonstarters (NST). Intergroup differences in cumulative weekly load and weekly load patterns were statistically analyzed, whereas training monotony (TM) was quantified to assess intragroup, within-week, load variation. Reserve team players showed similar weekly loads to ST, apart from significant differences ( p < 0.005) in duration (8%), TD (21%), and HS efforts (16%). Similar to ST, RES showed greater values than NST ( p < 0.0005) for duration (10%), TD (9%), THSD (30%), HSD (26%), SD (45%), sprints (40%), and HS efforts (22%). Weekly patterns in RES were different from ST and NST ( p < 0.05). Training monotony was highest for NST for all parameters, apart from the number of sprints. Reserve team players need to be prepared to cope with cumulative weekly loads and the lack of recovery between games that ST face. However, when RES become NST, effective loading strategies need to be designed within the limits of 2-game week microcycles to ensure continuous development.

    Abstract Objective: To measure the dead space of various syringe volumes and brands and a range of needles gauges commonly used in clinical practice, and to compare the results to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 7886-1:2018.
    Study design: Prospective observational study.
    Methods: Syringes of five brands and seven volumes: 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 60 mL, 10 of each, 10 1 mL low dead space syringes and 10 23, 21 and 18 gauge needles were analysed. Syringe dead space was estimated by weighing each syringe, drawing up and expelling its rated volume of water for injection and re-weighing the syringe. The difference in mass between the two measurements was calculated and converted to a volume based on the density of water. The dead space of the needles was estimated using a similar technique: each needle was attached to a 1 mL syringe of known dead space. A Mettler electronic balance was used for the measurements. Mean dead space was calculated for each syringe volume and needle gauge. Data were compared to the ISO standard.
    Results: Syringe dead space for 1 and 2.5 mL was less than 0.07 mL. For 5 mL syringes four of five brands, and for 10 mL syringes one of five brands failed to comply with the ISO; the dead space was greater than 0.075 and 0.1 mL, respectively. For the 20, 30, 60 mL syringes the dead space was less than 0.2 mL. Needle dead space was 0.05 mL for 23 and 21 gauge, and 0.07 mL for 18 gauge, similar in order of magnitude to syringe dead space.
    Conclusions: The dead space of syringes differs between brands, and some do not meet the ISO standard. When calculating the amount of drug lost due to dead space, both that of the syringe and needle used should be considered.

    Abstract Objectives: The aims of the study were to investigate the prevalence and extent of gastroesophageal reflux, and the prevalence of regurgitation in dogs undergoing thoracolumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging, and to explore possible associations of reflux and regurgitation with signalment (breed, age, sex, neuter status), bodyweight, body condition score and drugs used in the anaesthetic protocol.
    Materials and methods: The thoracic part of the oesophagus was retrospectively assessed for presence and quantification of fluid on two T2 weighted sequences. Patient breed, age, sex, neuter status, weight and body condition score were recorded. Anaesthetic records were reviewed for the presence of regurgitation and detailed anaesthetic protocols.
    Results: Fifty percent (95% confidence interval: 45 to 57%) of included dogs had evidence of gastroesophageal reflux. Reflux was not associated with the individual breed, age, sex, neuter status or body weight. Brachycephalic dogs did not demonstrate significantly higher rates of reflux compared to non-brachycephalic dogs. A larger volume of reflux was associated with a higher chance of regurgitation.
    Clinical significance: Gastroesophageal reflux is a common finding in dogs undergoing thoracolumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging. Dogs which regurgitated had higher volumes of reflux. Early detection and quantification of the volume of reflux is helpful as it may allow the anaesthetist to take measures which may reduce the risk of associated complications.

    Abstract Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a diverse family of contaminants that show widespread global dispersion and bioaccumulation. Humans are continuously exposed to POPs through diet, air particles, and household and commercial products; POPs are consistently detected in human tissues, including the pancreas. Epidemiological studies show a modest but consistent correlation between exposure to POPs and increased diabetes risk. The goal of this review is to provide an overview of epidemiological evidence and an in-depth evaluation of the in vivo and in vitro evidence that POPs cause β-cell toxicity. We review evidence for six classes of POPs: dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), organophosphate pesticides (OPPs), flame retardants, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The available data provide convincing evidence implicating POPs as a contributing factor driving impaired glucose homeostasis, β-cell dysfunction, and altered metabolic and oxidative stress pathways in islets. These findings support epidemiological data showing that POPs increase diabetes risk and emphasize the need to consider the endocrine pancreas in toxicity assessments. Our review also highlights significant gaps in the literature assessing islet-specific endpoints after both in vivo and in vitro POP exposure. In addition, most rodent studies do not consider the impact of biological sex or secondary metabolic stressors in mediating the effects of POPs on glucose homeostasis and β-cell function. We discuss key gaps and limitations that should be assessed in future studies.

    Abstract Objective: To determine primary and secondary post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage (PTH) rates and identify predictive factors in a cohort of consecutive adult and paediatric BiZact™ tonsillectomy cases.
    Setting: Retrospective cohort study. Patients from Flinders Medical Centre, Noarlunga Hospital and private otolaryngology practices who underwent BiZact™ tonsillectomy from 2017 to 2020.
    Data collected: patient age, indication for tonsillectomy, surgeon experience, time and severity of PTH, including return to theatre. Each secondary PTH was graded using the Stammberger classification. Logistic regression was utilised to identify predictors of secondary PTH.
    Results: One thousand seven hundred and seventeen patient medical records were assessed (658 adults and 1059 children). The primary PTH rate was 0.1%, and secondary PTH rate was 5.9%. The majority of secondary PTH cases were Stammberger grade A (80/102, 78.4%) requiring observation only. Few secondary PTH required medical intervention (grade B; 9/102, 8.8%), return to theatre (grade C; 12/102, 11.8%), or blood transfusion (grade D; 1/102, 1.0%), with no death reported (grade E; 0/102, 0.0%). Recurrent secondary PTH occurred in 8 patients (0.5%). Predictive factors of secondary PTH in children were surgeon experience with trainees having greater chance of PTH (OR 2.502, 95% CI 1.345-4.654; p = .004) and age of child (OR 1.095, 95% CI 1.025-1.170; p = .007). Surgeon experience was a predictive factor for adults (OR 3.804, 95% CI 2.139-6.674; p < .001).
    Conclusions: BiZact™ tonsillectomy has a low primary PTH rate, with a secondary PTH rate comparable to other 'hot tonsillectomy' techniques. The majority of PTH events were minor and self-reported. There appears to be a learning curve for trainee surgeons.

    Abstract Introduction: Length of hospitalization varies widely in preterm infants and can be affected by multiple maternal and neonatal factors including respiratory instability. Therefore, we aimed to determine the association between postnatal intermittent hypoxemia (IH) and prolonged hospitalization.
    Methods: This prospective single-center cohort study followed infants born at <31 weeks of gestational age through 2 years corrected age with detailed oxygen saturation data captured from days 7 to 30 of age.
    Results: 51/164 (31%) of infants were discharged after 400/7 weeks of corrected gestational age (CGA). A greater average daily number of IH events (OR per 10 events/day 1.33 [95% CI 1.03-1.72]), duration of events (OR per minute 1.14 [1.07-1.21]), and percent time with oxygen saturation <80% (OR per percent 1.88 [1.25-2.85]) on days 7-30 of age were all significantly associated with prolonged hospitalization past 400/7 weeks CGA. In survival analyses, infants with a greater average daily number of IH events (HR per 10 events/day 0.89 [0.81-0.98]), percent time with oxygen saturation <80% (HR per percent 0.79 [0.67-0.94]), and duration of events (HR per minute 0.93 [0.91-0.95]) on days 7-30 of age all had significantly lower probability of earlier discharge. In addition, there was a significant interaction with gestational age; the association between IH and prolonged hospitalization was stronger in more mature infants (p = 0.024).
    Conclusions: Physiological instability on days 7-30 of age, as manifested by IH, is significantly associated with prolonged hospitalization. IH likely represents both a marker of initial severity of illness and the beginning of biological cascades, leading to prematurity-associated morbidities.
