Domestic dogs maintain clinical, nutritional, and hematological health outcomes when fed a commercial plant-based diet for a year.

Domestic dogs can maintain health on complete and well-balanced canine plant-based nutrition (K9PBN). Novel insight on health outcomes in dogs consuming K9PBN is of relevance to veterinary professionals and consumers given a growing interest in non-traditional dog foods with perceived health benefits, while considering potential safety concerns. We aimed to investigate nutritional equivalence by measuring clinical health outcomes in adult dogs fed K9PBN over twelve months compared to a meat-based diet at baseline.

Psoriasis/Psoriatic Arthritis Patients' Long-term Treatment Patterns and Adherence to Systemic Treatments Monitoring Recommendations.

Limited information exists regarding treatment of patients with psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis in primary care. The aim of this study is to assess treatment patterns, adherence, persistence, and compliance in newly diagnosed patients with psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis from 2012 to 2018 in Stockholm, Sweden. In addition, laboratory monitoring before initiation of treatment and at recommended intervals was quantified for patients prescribed methotrexate or biologics.

Occurrence of adverse events associated with the initiation of methotrexate and biologics for the treatment of psoriasis in routine clinical practice.

Limited information exists on the risk of adverse events (AEs) attributed to methotrexate (MTX) and biologics for the treatment of psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis (PsA/PsO) in heterogeneous clinical practice and beyond the duration of clinical trials. An observational study of 6294 adults with incident PsA/PsO who initiated MTX or biologics in Stockholm from 2006-2021 was conducted. The risk of kidney, liver, hematological, serious infectious, and major gastrointestinal AEs was quantified and compared between therapies using incidence rates, absolute risks, and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) from propensity-score weighted Cox regression.

Wearable devices for tracking physical activity in the community after an acquired brain injury: A systematic review.

Objective: The application of wearable devices in individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI) resulting from stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI) for monitoring physical activity (PA) has been relatively recent. The current systematic review aims to provide insights into the adaption of these devices, the outcome metrics, and their transition from the laboratory to the community for PA monitoring of individuals with ABI.

Literature Survey: The PubMed and Google Scholar databases were systematically reviewed using appropriate search terms.

Assessment of bacterial and fungal populations in urine from clinically healthy dogs using next-generation sequencing.

Background: Urine from clinically healthy dogs is not sterile. Characterizing microbial diversity and abundance within this population of dogs is important to define normal reference ranges for healthy urine.

Objectives: To establish composition and relative representation of bacterial and fungal microbiomes in urine of clinically healthy dogs.
