Embolization of spinal vasculature with fibrocartilaginous material histochemically identical to the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc is the most common cause of ischemic myelopathy in dogs and cats. This condition is called "fibrocartilaginous embolism" (FCE) or "fibrocartilaginous embolic ...
Improved understanding of tumor biology through molecular alteration and genetic advances has resulted in a number of major changes in the 2020 World Health Organization’s (WHO) classification of bone tumors.
