Evaluation of the clinical outcome of hypercalcemia of malignancy and concurrent azotemia in dogs with lymphoma.

Background: Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HM) secondary to lymphoma in dogs has the potential to cause renal injury.

Hypothesis/objectives: Characterize outcomes related to acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to HM. We hypothesized that dogs do suffer AKI regardless of HM severity at the time of lymphoma diagnosis or relapse.

Hematologic Values of Jamaican Fruit Bats () and the Effects of Isoflurane Anesthesia.

Jamaican fruit bats () are used as an animal model for several viruses, including Middle East respiratory syndrome virus, dengue virus, Zika virus, and Tacaribe virus. However, despite ongoing studies regarding these pathogens, little is known regarding the bats' normal physiology. In this study, phlebotomy of the propetagial (cephalic) vein was performed to establish baseline hematologic parameters in an apparently healthy, captive population of Jamaican fruit bats.
