Introduction: Loss of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is a negative prognostic factor in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD). The aim of this study was to calculate the percentage (%) of RSA in healthy dogs and dogs in various MMVD classes.
Animals: Control and MMVD dogs were prospectively included in the study.
Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent impairments in communication, social interaction and learning (Hodges et al., 2020). Because of its heterogeneous nature, ASD presents complex challenges, including social exclusion, school abandonment and limited access to health care.

- This study examined the effects of two intravenous doses of propofol (5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) on red-eared sliders, measuring various reflexes and recovery times.
- Six turtles received both doses after a week of washout, with G1 (5 mg/kg) showing inadequate muscle relaxation and no intubation capability, while G2 (10 mg/kg) allowed intubation in five of six turtles.
- Significant differences were found between the two doses, particularly in muscle relaxation, handling ease, and intubation success, suggesting that a higher propofol dose is necessary for effective anesthesia in these turtles.
Background: The increasing prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has driven research interest on the therapy of individuals with autism, especially children, as early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can lead to improvement in the condition. With the widespread availability of virtual reality, augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality technologies to the public and the increasing popularity of mobile devices, the interest in the use of applications and technologies to provide support for the therapy of children with autism is growing.
Objective: This study aims to describe the literature on the potential of virtual reality, AR, and mixed reality technologies in the context of therapy for children with ASD.
This paper focuses on creative industries and the role played by the existing spatial distribution and agglomeration economies of these activities in relation to their entry decisions. We rely on employment and firm-level data in the creative industries (provided by INSEE) and compare the location of new establishments in the creative and non-creative industries between 2009 and 2013 in French departments (NUTS 3 regions). We use count data models and spatial econometrics to show that location determinants are rather similar in creative and non-creative industries and that specialisation in creative industries positively influences the entry of all other industries.
