How to calculate print size for your photos

Mar 2, 2016

I am trying to print large awesome pics for Queen's Vets using Photoshop and sending image to the printer.

Minimum size is 240 ppi to get awesome print but most people say it is 300 ppi.

CALCULATION
Divide the longest edge of image (pixels) by the longest edge of the desired print size (inches) to get the ppi.

E.g.
1.  Image 3840x5760 pixels and you want a 8"x10" print
Calculation:   5760/10 = 576 ppi.
Good resolution.

2. If I want a 30"X20" poster,    5760/30 = 192 ppi. Not good resolution.

I have the following image   1920px x 1280 px  size = 7.03M
If I want a 10" x 8" print,   1920/10 = 192 ppi.  Insufficient resolution. Waste of money to print it at 10" x 8" print.

27. How to make BKTP Vet Educational Videos - interns

Dec 2, 2015

I have a feedback from recent RI interns that they are not given the structure on making a video.

When you come in, please review other videos made (at least 2 made) and produce a video for interns on how to make a veterinary educational video. There are past videos done but I need a formal process for prospective interns on the movie structure. It saves me time explaining repeatedly and many interns do not research on my website as well as you did and rectify the feedback to the RI teacher about the recent internship of 2 RI boys.

Basically, the movie structures for BKTP Vet Educational Videos are:

1. Hook (video clip preferred to attract viewer).

2. BKTP slide and sponsors (gather all slides in one webpage)

3. Introduction includes theme and title

4. Middle - Veterinary problems and solutions (90% of content). Diagnosis and treatment.

Insert relevant links into video

5. End - Advices and Tips (Impact of disease).

6. Credits and further information at: .........contact numbers......................

7. URL of excellent intern videos (5 examples).

8. A script must be produced first. 2 columns. Left column is script text. Right column is video footage.

9. Is it possible to create URL of youtube on how to use windows movie maker and imovie?

With your video, there will be no more inconsistencies and waste of time in video production.

Thank you.

How to treat very smelly ears in a labradoodle - educational video

This 5-month-old labradoodle has hairy and infected ear canals. Ear hair plucking and cleaning of the ears must be done weekly by the owner or groomer. However, the puppy objected to ear cleaning and hair plucking by the groomer. The inside of the ears become ulcerated and infected, leading to very smelly ears. The owner sought veterinary treatment at Toa Payoh Vets Singapore.

There are 3 methods of treatment depending on the professional judgment of vets consulted.
METHOD 1. MEDICATED EAR DROPS. One inexpensive method by many vets is to prescribe medicated ear drops and the owner applies the drops at home regularly. I find this method, in this case of very smelly hairy ears, ineffective.
METHOD 2. EAR IRRIGATION.  In Toa Payoh Vets, in such cases, the ear canals are irrigated to flush out the blood clots, bacteria and debri, after ear hair plucking.
This dog is sedated for this process. There is always the anaesthestic risk which deter many owners from accepting the second method. In healthy puppies and dogs, the risk is very low, but many owners do not want anaesthesia. So, the otitis externa get worse and become chronic.
METHOD 3.  EAR SURGERY. A lateral ear canal resection surgery which opens up the vertical ear canal by removing the side wall. After surgery, the ear is well ventilated and able to drain any water owing to bathing of the dog. This leads to no more head shaking and smelly ears and no need to go for the dreaded (by the dog) painful ear hair plucking every 2-3 months by the groomer. 


In this dog, the owner prefers METHOD 2. She maintains the ears and 7 months since the ear irrigation, as at Nov 25, 2015, I have not seen the dog again.
