    Abstract Domestic goats (Capra hircus) have been used as animal models in biomedical research, and for numerous years for agricultural research and models for human diseases. This column describes an improved surgical technique, for castration of male goats, similar to companion animal techniques for use in the laboratory setting. The technique discussed supports a more in-depth perioperative protocol for performing scrotal ablation and orchiectomy in the male goat.

    Abstract General anesthesia induces many systemic effects, including thermoregulatory impairment and subsequent perioperative hypothermia. Due to the animals' small size, monitoring and maintaining body temperatures in laboratory rodents during anesthesia is important for successful surgical outcomes and prompt anesthetic recovery. Draping materials have the potential to aid in thermal support during surgical anesthesia. In this study, rectal and surface (infrared) temperatures were measured in C57BL/6 mice under isoflurane anesthesia every 5 min for the duration of a 35-min sham surgery. In addition to placement on a circulating water bath, mice (

    Abstract In biomedical research, surgeons are often responsible for simultaneously conducting rodent surgical procedures, monitoring anesthesia, and adjusting nonsterile equipment. Maintaining appropriate aseptic technique can be challenging when working under these conditions. Applying a sterile barrier material such as aluminum foil to nonsterile surfaces in these circumstances offers an innovative, inexpensive option to improve asepsis. The purpose of this study was to validate the sterility of foodgrade aluminum foil for use as a sterile barrier on nonsterile equipment during rodent surgery. In this investigation, 10 boxes of aluminum foil were assessed for sterility by using ATP swabs and replicate organism detection and counting (RODAC) plates at 0, 14, and 28 d and 6 mo. At 6 mo, foil was applied to surgical equipment, and sterility was assessed by using ATP swabs and RODAC plates. Results revealed no ATP-positive results at any time point. During assessment of samples obtained directly from boxes, RODAC plates yielded minimal bacterial growth (1 cfu per plate) in 2 of the 10 boxes at initial testing and in 1 box at the day 0, day 14, and 6 mo time points. No growth was observed at day 28 (tested directly from the box) or at 6-mo apparatus testing. Our data revealed minimal bacterial growth on tested samples and support the use of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil as a sterile barrier on nonsterile surfaces during aseptic rodent surgery.

    Abstract Pulmonary artery acceleration time (PAT) and PAT: ejection time (PATET) ratio are echocardiographic measurements of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). These noninvasive quantitative measurements are ideal to follow longitudinally through the clinical course of PAH, especially as it relates to the need for and/or response to treatment. This review article focuses on the current literature of PATET measurement for infants and children as it relates to the shortening of the PATET ratio in PAH. At the same time, further development of PATET as an outcome measure for PAH in preclinical models, particularly mice, such that the field can move forward to human clinical studies that are both safe and effective. Here, we present what is known about PATET in infants and children and discuss what is known in preclinical models with particular emphasis on neonatal mouse models. In both animal models and human disease, PATET allows for longitudinal measurements in the same individual, leading to more precise determinations of disease/model progression and/or response to therapy. IMPACT: PATET ratio is a quantitative measurement by a noninvasive technique, Doppler echocardiography, providing clinicians a more precise/accurate, safe, and longitudinal assessment of pediatric PAH. We present a brief history/state of the art of PATET ratio to predict PAH in adults, children, infants, and fetuses, as well as in small animal models of PAH. In a preliminary study, PATET shortened by 18% during acute hypoxic exposure compared to pre-hypoxia. Studies are needed to establish PATET, especially in mouse models of disease, such as bronchopulmonary, as a routine measure of PAH.

    Abstract level and improve surgical outcomes. Recently, some institutions have approved the use of Press'n Seal cling film (CF; Glad Products, Oakland, CA) as a practical, cost-effective alternative to sterile drapes for rodent surgeries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sterility of CF by using ATP and replicate organism detection and counting (RODAC) plates. We tested 10 boxes of CF at days 0, 14, and 28 after opening the box and compared the results with traditional packaged sterile drapes. Our data indicated that CF ATP bioluminescence remained at or below 10 relative light units for 28 d after opening the box. In addition, RODAC plates had no growth for 70% of CF boxes at day 0, 100% at day 14, and 90% at day 28. The mean growth for the positive plates was 0.024 cfu/cm² sampled after contacting locations on the front and back of the CF. The results of this study support the use of CF as an acceptable alternative to traditional sterile drapes during rodent aseptic surgery.

    Abstract Advancing equality and equity in society is creating positive change, and the time has come to critically evaluate veterinary medicine, which, by all metrics, lacks diversity. To keep pace with increasingly diverse demographics and recent surges in pet ownership among all racial/ethnic groups, significant efforts to enhance diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) must occur in veterinary colleges and the profession. Recruiting more underrepresented students, building pipelines for diverse faculty/staff, and creating inclusive, welcoming environments where all can thrive are critical steps toward enhancing DEIB within our organizations and profession. Our goal is to share experiences and lessons learned from our intentional commitment to strengthen DEIB, with the hope that our journey will be helpful to others. Increasing diversity in the veterinary profession will be facilitated through removing barriers, creating inclusive work environments where all people feel they belong, and ensuring fair and equitable hiring and personnel management practices. These steps should in turn improve access and quality of veterinary care, ensure we are more representative of the communities we serve, increase revenue, and preserve the human-animal bond.

    Abstract This report describes an alternative surgical technique for performing scrotal ablation and orchiectomy in the adult male sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) using electrosurgery. Eight animals from a local small mammal shelter group that presented for routine surgical castration for population control measures were included in this study. Mean surgical time was 4.37 ± 2.13 seconds. Mean anesthesia time was 12.32 ± 5.63 minutes. Mean recovery time was 8.37 ± 3.68 minutes. Mean total procedure time was 22.24 ± 5.69 minutes. No perioperative complications were reported. All animals appeared to have sufficient pain management with an analgesia and anti-inflammatory protocol using butorphanol and meloxicam. No over grooming and or self-injurious behaviors were reported by the local shelter during both the 24-hour and 14-day recheck examinations. Electrosurgery scrotal ablation and orchiectomy therefore offers an alternate route for the practicing veterinarian to perform safe and efficient castrations in male sugar gliders. Histologically, in the epididymis, 3 of the 8 sugar gliders had evidence of a well-defined region in the head, between the efferent ducts and the remaining epididymis. The lining cells differed morphologically from those constituting the remaining epithelial lining. The presence of eosinophilic vacuoles in the cytoplasm of the cells in this region suggests a secretory activity.
