Australian Veterinary Journal Jun 2022To describe clinical signs, diagnostics, treatments and outcomes of prostatitis and prostatic abscesses of dogs in a referral population.
OBJECTIVES
To describe clinical signs, diagnostics, treatments and outcomes of prostatitis and prostatic abscesses of dogs in a referral population.
ANIMALS
Eighty-two dogs diagnosed with prostatitis and/or prostatic abscesses from three referral hospitals.
PROCEDURES
Retrospective case series.
RESULTS
A total of 82 dogs were included, and the median age was nine years. Acute prostatitis was diagnosed in 63% of cases, chronic prostatitis in 37% of cases and 40% of cases had prostatic abscessation. Prostatomegaly was the most common ultrasonographic finding. Mineralisation was identified in 20% of cases. The results of urine and prostatic bacterial culture were concordant in only 50% of cases. Antimicrobial resistance was encountered commonly, with 29% of cultures resistant to one antimicrobial and 52% resistant to two or more antimicrobials. Abscesses were treated with either antimicrobials alone, ultrasound-guided needle drainage or surgical drainage.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
With antimicrobial treatment and castration, the prognosis for canine prostatitis appears good. Prostatic abscessation is commonly encountered and does not appear to infer a worse prognosis and antimicrobials alone, ultrasound-guided needle drainage and surgical drainage all appear to be reasonable treatment options. Antimicrobial resistance is commonly encountered, and the results of urine culture and susceptibility testing are frequently discordant with those from samples from the prostate. Sampling of the prostate is required to confirm a diagnosis and exclude other pathologies such as neoplasia, particularly as mineralisation is seen in a reasonable number of cases of dogs with prostatitis.

Review
Testicular cancer is the most frequent solid tumour in young men and accounts for 1% of newly diagnosed malignant tumours. Tumours are divided into seminomas and non-seminomas. Approximately 50% of patients are cured by orchiectomy alone, while the other half in addition will need chemotherapy or radiotherapy for metastatic disease. Survival in patients treated for metastatic disease depends on prognostic criteria. Patients treated with systemic therapy have an increased risk of subsequent cancer and cardiovascular disease, as argued in this review.

Veterinary Ophthalmology May 2020To determine incidence and risk factors of post-sterilization hyphema in shelter cats.
OBJECTIVE
To determine incidence and risk factors of post-sterilization hyphema in shelter cats.
ANIMALS STUDIED
Retrospective medical record review of 1204 cats and prospective screening of 195 cats.
PROCEDURES
The study consisted of three parts: (a) Survey responses were collected from 20 veterinarians, who perform high-quality high-volume spay-neuter (HQHVSN) in both shelter and public clinic settings; (b) medical records of 1204 cats were analyzed retrospectively over a 14-month time period; and (c) ophthalmic examinations, including tonometry, were performed prospectively on 195 cats before and after sterilization surgery over 8 weeks.
RESULTS
Nine of 20 surveyed veterinarians reported having witnessed hyphema in cats following sterilization surgery. Retrospective review of 1204 medical record and prospective screening of 195 cats showed that three juvenile (<1 year of age) male cats (<2 kg) developed hyphema within 1 hour following surgery (0.2% incidence). In all three affected cats, anesthesia was induced with tiletamine/zolazepam (3 of 523 cats induced with this drug combination; 0.6% incidence), and hyphema resolved within 20 hours. Mean intraocular pressures as measured by Icare® TonoVet were (mean ± standard deviation) 11.5 ± 3.8 mm Hg and 21.7 ± 4.6 mm Hg for juvenile (<1 year of age) and adult (>1 year of age) cats, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
Survey responses and three observed cases confirm the existence of feline post-sterilization hyphema with an estimated incidence of 0.2%. The underlying mechanism for this occurrence remains unknown.

Review
PURPOSE
To provide recommendations for the follow-up of rare, clinically localised testis tumours, including Leydig, Sertoli or granulosa cell and spermatocytic tumours.
METHODS
Medline and Embase searches to identify published clinical trials, cohort studies, reviews, clinical practise guidelines and meta-analyses to design expert opinion-based follow-up schedules.
RESULTS
In four different systematic reviews, we previously identified 1375 men with Leydig, 435 with Sertoli, 239 with granulosa cell lesions and 146 with spermatocytic tumours. Local recurrence after testis-sparing surgery (TSS) was observed in 7%, < 1% and 5% of men with Leydig, Sertoli and granulosa cell tumours: no reports were available regarding recurrence after TSS in men with spermatocytic tumours. Distant recurrence was observed in 6%, 4%, 4% and 7% of the first four tumour types, respectively: metastasis was never reported in granulosa cell tumours of juvenile type. For patients with metastatic disease, complete response after surgical resection was reported in 10%, 18%, 43% and 4%. Complete response after chemotherapy was reported in 5%, 0%, 29% and 4%. There was no report of patients responding to radiotherapy alone.
CONCLUSIONS
We have collated the existing data about local and distant recurrence and response to treatment in men with rare testicular tumours and propose new recommendations for follow-up with cross-sectional imaging, stratified for each histological subtype.

Review
In any man with a solid testicular mass, cancer should be considered until proven otherwise. Radical inguinal orchiectomy is the treatment of choice in patients with testis mass. Placement of a testicular prosthesis is safe with a very low complication rate and should be offered to all patients undergoing radical orchiectomy. In patients with widespread or life-threatening advanced disease, delayed orchiectomy following chemotherapy is recommended. Testis-sparing surgery can be performed in highly selected patients with solitary testicle mass, bilateral testicular tumors, or strong suspicion of a benign lesion.
