Evaluation of Dual-Near-Infrared-Wavelength Photobiomodulation Therapy for the Treatment of Canine Otitis Externa: A Prospective Multicenter Pilot Study

This is the first prospective multicenter study investigating photobiomodulation (PBM) in canine OE. Inclusion criteria required an Otitis Index Score 3 (OTIS-3; scale 0–3) ≥1 for erythema and discharge and a Budach cytological score ≥1+ (scale 0–4+) for Malassezia spp. and/or ba...

Artificial Intelligence in Public Procurement: Aligning Operational Capacity, Legitimacy, and Public Value

ABSTRACT Public procurement is adopting artificial intelligence (AI) more slowly than private‐sector procurement, despite similar operational opportunities. We analyze this gap through Moore's Strategic Triangle (ST), focusing on public value, operational capacity, and legitimacy...

Spectral Analysis of Block Diagonally Preconditioned Multiple Saddle‐Point Matrices With Inexact Schur Complements

ABSTRACT We derive eigenvalue bounds for symmetric block‐tridiagonal multiple saddle‐point systems preconditioned with block‐diagonal Schur complement matrices. This analysis applies to an arbitrary number of blocks and accounts for the case where the Schur complements are approx...

A fragment-based model and annotation environment for discontinuous and overlapping terms

Abstract Terminology and entity annotation tasks in digital-library and corpus-oriented workflows often involve expressions that are discontinuous, overlapping, or partially shared. While several existing annotation environments support span-based and relation-based annotation, d...

Clinical-histological and genetic features of rare variants of melanoma.

Melanoma is traditionally classified into a limited number of common clinicopathologic subtypes; however, routine clinical and histopathologic practice reveals a broad spectrum of rare variants and unusual morphologic patterns that pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic chal...

Anaesthetic Management Including Low-Dose Dexmedetomidine and Butorphanol in Dogs Undergoing ECG-Gated Cardiac Computed Tomography: A Retrospective Case Series

This retrospective case series aims to assess the effects of an anaesthetic protocol including low-dose dexmedetomidine and butorphanol in dogs referred for cardiac tamponade undergoing ECG-gated CCT with contrast medium administration. Fifteen dogs (7 males, 8 females; ASA III/I...
