    Abstract A 4-month-old female-entire Vizsla dog was referred for progressive seizure activity, vomiting, lethargy, inappetence, and neck pain. CT revealed focal inflammation, a calvarial osseous defect, a possible foreign body within the brain, and associated vasogenic edema. A cerebrospinal fluid tap revealed marked septic neutrophilic pleocytosis. MRI findings supported diagnosis of a 1.7 cm foreign body within the brain. A right rostrotentorial craniectomy was performed, and intraparenchymal grass seed was removed in its entirety via intraoperative ultrasound guidance. The patient was discharged 2 days postoperatively, and long-term follow-up revealed no abnormal neurological signs.

    Abstract The current production of a number of commodity chemicals relies on the exploitation of fossil fuels and hence has an irreversible impact on the environment. Biotechnological processes offer an attractive alternative by enabling the manufacturing of chemicals by genetically modified microorganisms. However, this alternative approach poses some important technical challenges that must be tackled to make it competitive. On the one hand, the design of biotechnological processes is based on trial-and-error approaches, which are not only costly in terms of time and money, but also result in suboptimal designs. On the other hand, the manufacturing of chemicals by biological processes is almost exclusively carried out by batch or fed-batch cultures. Given that batch cultures are expensive and not easy to scale, technical means must be developed to make continuous cultures feasible and efficient. In order to address these challenges, we have developed a mathematical model able to integrate in a single model both the genome-scale metabolic model for the organism synthesizing the chemical of interest and the dynamics of the bioreactor in which the organism is cultured. Such a model is based on the use of Flexible Nets, a modeling formalism for dynamical systems. The integration of a microscopic (organism) and a macroscopic (bioreactor) model in a single net provides an overall view of the whole system and opens the door to global optimizations. As a case study, the production of citramalate with respect to the substrate consumed by

    Abstract The objective of this research was to evaluate comparative pharmacokinetics of doramectin in alpacas, after subcutaneous administration of 0.2 mg/kg dose. Six healthy adult alpacas, mean age of 5 years ± 1, (three female and three gelded males) of mean bodyweight of 62 kg ± 16 kg with an average body condition scored 2.8 ± 1 out of five, were used in this study. Serial blood samples were collected from the jugular vein before the administration until day 21 afterwards to establish the pharmacokinetics of doramectin after its subcutaneous administration at 0.2 mg/kg dose. The blood samples were analysed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), fluorescence detection method with precolumn derivatisation, validated for alpacas. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using a noncompartmental model, and results showed Cmax (6.05 ± 5.34 ng/ml), Tmax (3.83 ± 2.48 days), AUC (62.12 ± 18.86 ng/ml × d), terminal half-life (6.2 ± 4.9 days) and MRT (11.56 ± 4.43 days). The results of this study showed that the Cmax and AUC were much lower than in cattle and sheep at the same dosage. Tmax remained similar to cattle and sheep. This study presents valuable information about pharmacokinetics of doramectin in alpacas, which can be utilised in its future efficacy studies.

    Abstract The effect of time and pressure on the selective extraction of sugar beet pectin using steam pre-treatment on unprocessed Sugar Beet Pulp was evaluated using a design of experiments approach. This process gave the highest solubilisation of pectin oligomers at a relatively low pressure and longer time (5Bar, 24min), whilst leaving the majority of the cellulose fraction intact. This method of steam pre-treatment fits into the concept of a sugar beet biorefinery as it valorises an existing waste stream without requiring any further physical processing such as milling or dilution with water. The residual cellulose fraction was enriched in cellulose and could be effectively fermented into ethanol by yeast after enzymatic digestion, producing 0.48g ethanol per gram of glucose.

    Abstract A 12-year-old, female spayed crossbred dog was presented for traumatic injuries sustained after being hit by a car. The dog was non-ambulatory with a right-sided head tilt on presentation, neurological deficits and signs of external trauma centred on the head. A trauma computed tomography was performed which revealed an atlanto-occipital luxation with narrowing of the vertebral canal. This was treated successfully via closed reduction and confirmed with a repeat computed tomography scan. The dog recovered well following the atlanto-occipital luxation reduction, and was ambulatory the day after the reduction, and neurological signs resolved within 2 days.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the results of a single stage composite cleft septorhinoplasty procedure ("The Gujrat Technique") to correct the exaggerated cleft nose deformity after completion of nasal growth in an adult patient cohort.
    Methods: Adult patients with a residual unilateral cleft nasal deformity were deemed eligible for the proposed "Gujrat Technique". Over a 10-year period (2007-2017), 96 adult patients underwent this composite cleft septorhinoplasty as a single stage operation. Post-operative nasal symmetry evaluation was undertaken using the validated computer program 'SymNose'. Functional outcome and patient satisfaction were assessed using Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation scale and Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) questionnaires respectively. Various statistical analysis methods were used to validate the obtained results.
    Results: Due to poor compliance with follow-up, post-operative assessments were undertaken in only 32 patients. The single group study design using the non-parametric matching pairs Wilcoxon Sign test (p < 0.001) showed overall good to excellent functional and aesthetic outcomes and higher scores of the digital SymNose grading system. There was a significant improvement in ROE scores (from 26.4 ± 2.9 to 85.9 ± 4.7, p < 0.001). There were no major complications or revisions needed in our series.
    Conclusion: The individual components of "The Gujrat Technique" are not novel but their combination in this adult unilateral cleft rhinoplasty cohort has demonstrated a high patient satisfaction with its aesthetic appeal and functional versatility. In the background of limited resources and unpredictable patient follow up, the simplicity, reproducibility and cost effectiveness of this technique make it a practical reconstructive option.
