Corneal sequestrum, also known as corneal mummification or necrosis, is a common complication of corneal ulceration in cats, with brachycephalic and pure-bred cats being the most affected. This prospective clinical trial aimed to evaluate the efficac...
To retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness and outcome of lamellar keratoplasty using acellular bioengineering cornea (BioCorneaVetTM) for the treatment of feline corneal sequestrum (FCS). The medical records of cats diagnosed with FCS that underw...
Background: Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) can occur as an adverse reaction to several antiresorptive medications such as bisphosphonate. It presents clinically as a necrotic exposed bone. Several factors including tooth extracti...
Purpose: Pulmonary sequestration is a rare pulmonary malformation that often necessitates surgical intervention due to potential complications such as recurrent infections or hemoptysis. This case series presents the clinical trajectory of four patie...
Corneal sequestra are ophthalmic lesions that are remarkably common in Persian, Himalayan and exotic cats. In this study, the genetic aspects of this disease were investigated in a population of cats originating from a single cattery. Odds ratios wer...

It is controversial as to whether the withdrawal of antiresorptive (AR) agents is necessary while treating medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). In this study, we investigated whether a drug holiday promoted sequestrum separation and i...
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the radiographic characteristics of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) by digital panoramic radiographs and to investigate the associations between radiographic findings and clinical, demograp...
An 8-month-old male American Staffordshire terrier was referred for a no-weightbearing lameness of the right pelvic limb, hyperthermia, lethargy and inappetence. Two months before, endocarditis was diagnosed and treated in another veterinary hospital...
Feline superficial non-healing corneal ulcers are persistent lesions requiring individualized treatment to reduce recurrence. This retrospective study evaluated 136 affected eyes (113 nonrecurrent; 23 recurrent) to identify clinical and treatment-rel...
The present study aimed to compare the diagnostic reliability of a pre-set, manufacturer-specific, low-dose mode against a standard-dose mode in the detection of four different osseous lesions in the mandible with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)...
Background/Objectives: Osteomyelitis is characterized by an inflammatory process affecting both bone and bone marrow, leading to cell death and the formation of bone sequestrum. Recent literature from the past five years has documented instances of o...
Background: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws is the most frequent complication in patients treated or in therapy with antiresorptive/antiangiogenetic drugs. The list of medications possibly related to MRONJ onset is constantly growing; we...
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious adverse reaction, mainly due to bone-modifying agents (BMA), and it is a potentially painful and debilitating condition. To date, the literature has reported a 90% rate of successful ou...
Background: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe side effect of bisphosphonates and anti-resorptive drugs prescribed for treatment of severe osteoporosis, Paget’s disease, and bone malignancies. The aim of this study was to...
Background: Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaw is a severe, progressive complication of radiation therapy for head and neck malignancies. ORN features radiologically overlaps osteomyelitis and tumor recurrence. This study analyzes jaw ORN imaging ch...
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe adverse event triggered by antiresorptive and/or anti-angiogenic agents, characterized by bone destruction, sequestrum formation, and refractory mucosal defects. Effective mucosal healin...
Diabetes, as one of the most common diseases of civilization, is a significant factor of mortality worldwide. Undiagnosed and improperly treated, it leads to the development of a number of complications, including diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) and Cha...
