Introduction: In recent years, prices for veterinary care have received considerable attention in mainstream media, yet scientific literature has not delved into actual figures. This study aims to elucidate veterinary care costs for dogs, cats, and horses across five countries [Sweden (SE), Norway (NO), Denmark (DK), United Kingdom (UK), and Ireland (IR, with limited data)] through web searches.
Methods: Utilising online business directories, we located URLs featuring veterinary care prices in autumn 2022, and repeated tri-monthly five times.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the structure of a malonamide extractant in liquid-liquid extraction affects its water extraction performance, focusing on weak interactions that make structural identification difficult.
- Using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), the researchers find no major changes in structure after water is introduced, indicating that water interacts with the extractant to form simple 1:1 adducts without significant reorganization of the solution.
- Findings suggest that the extraction mechanism remains consistent across various extractant concentrations, with the process being straightforward and driven by fundamental interactions rather than complex structural changes like micellization.
Extractant aggregation in liquid-liquid extraction organic phases impacts extraction energetics and is related to the deleterious efficiency-limiting liquid-liquid phase transition known as third phase formation. Using small angle X-ray scattering, we find that structural heterogeneities across a wide range of compositions in binary mixtures of malonamide extractants and alkane diluents are well described by Ornstein-Zernike scattering. This suggests that structure in these simplified organic phases originates from the critical point associated with the liquid-liquid phase transition.

Methods: A descriptive analysis of cats insured with Agria Pet Insurance in Sweden (2011-2016) was performed.
