    Abstract BACKGROUND: The paucity of published veterinary clinical audits suggests that clinical audit is an under‐used tool for quality improvement (QI) in the veterinary profession. Therefore, a continuous QI process was designed and implemented at a UK multisite small animal emergency practice, focusing on audit of clinical management of canine dystocia. METHODS: Data collection phases were undertaken in 2014, 2019 and 2021, with intervening knowledge dissemination activities. Nine variables relating to clinical management of canine dystocia were selected as audit criteria in the initial dataset, and 21 variables were measured in each subsequent phase. RESULTS: Between 2014 and 2021, statistically significant increases (p < 0.05) were demonstrated in recording of bodyweight, use of diagnostic imaging, use of ultrasonography, recording of fetal heart rates, use of calcium gluconate, and use during caesarean section of intravenous fluid therapy, multimodal analgesia, full agonist opioids, paracetamol and local anaesthesia. Statistically significant decreases were demonstrated in median first quantity and median first dose of oxytocin, and in the use of NSAIDs during caesarean section. A clinical audit planning template was created for future audits. LIMITATIONS: Typical case presentation and management of canine dystocia cases may vary between dedicated emergency and non‐emergency primary‐care settings. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates the feasibility of large‐scale veterinary clinical audit and suggests that the application of the clinical audit process promotes learning within the veterinary team and improved clinical outcomes.

    Abstract In scientific studies, replicas should replicate, and identical conditions should produce very similar results which enable parameters to be tested. However, in microbial experiments which use real world mixed inocula to generate a new "adapted" community, this replication is very hard to achieve. The diversity within real-world microbial systems is huge, and when a subsample of this diversity is placed into a reactor vessel or onto a surface to create a biofilm, stochastic processes occur, meaning there is heterogeneity within these new communities. The smaller the subsample, the greater this heterogeneity is likely to be. Microbial fuel cells are typically operated at a very small laboratory scale and rely on specific communities which must include electrogenic bacteria, known to be of low abundance in most natural inocula. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) offer a unique opportunity to investigate and quantify variability as they produce current when they metabolize, which can be measured in real time as the community develops. In this research, we built and tested 28 replica MFCs and ran them under identical conditions. The results showed high variability in terms of the rate and amount of current production. This variability perpetuated into subsequent feeding rounds, both with and without the presence of new inoculate. In an attempt to control this variability, reactors were reseeded using established "good" and "bad" reactors. However, this did not result in replica biofilms, suggesting there is a spatial as well as a compositional control over biofilm formation.

    Abstract The capital femoral physis is a growth plate located between the head of the femur and femoral neck, which forms a temporary joint where growth plate cartilage is converted to bone by endochondral ossification. The bone-cartilage-bone interface develops a unique radial pattern of interdigitating mammillary processes that interlock the femoral head with the metaphysis, increasing biomechanical stability. The arrangement of these mammillary processes may not be a random occurrence and likely serves to provide mechanical mechanisms to enhance biomechanical stability. In this study, we provide a qualitative and quantitative analysis of porcine femoral head mammillary processes and focus on the analysis of six key points of development: the epiphyseal tubercle, epiphyseal cupping, growth plate slope angles, expansion of the epiphyseal subchondral bone plate, epiphyseal elongation, and the emergence of smaller, radially arranged mammillary processes. We introduce a metric of surface roughness analysis to quantify mammillary processes and apply it to analyze the development of the observed radial pattern of peripheral mammillary processes from birth to adolescence. We hypothesized that these processes develop to form a radial pattern with some degree of periodicity beginning relatively early in development of the joint and increase in prominence with age and weight of the animal. These findings may have important implications in the early diagnosis and treatment of the hip disorder slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Underdevelopment of femoral head mammillary processes may reduce joint stability and could be a risk factor in SCFE.
