- The insulin tolerance test (ITT) is crucial for diagnosing cortisol and growth hormone deficiencies, but there's debate on whether to give carbohydrates to patients once hypoglycemia occurs.
- A study with 15 participants compared the effects of normal Cola vs. Cola Zero during ITT and found that normal Cola significantly reduced hypoglycemia duration and improved patient comfort.
- Although sugar did not alter cortisol and growth hormone peaks, it did enhance recovery from low glucose levels and relief from hypoglycemia symptoms, reinforcing the idea that addressing hypoglycemia quickly is beneficial for patient comfort.
The study aimed to describe clinical indications for eye enucleation and exenteration, the occurrence of complications and long-term outcome in cattle, and examine owners' attitude towards enucleation and exenteration and their satisfaction with the surgical outcome. Medical records from the two veterinary teaching hospitals in Switzerland were reviewed to identify cattle that underwent unilateral enucleation or exenteration between January 2013 and December 2020. Data extracted included medical history, ocular examination, clinical diagnosis, surgical procedure including anesthesia, suture material and pattern used, complications, and treatment thereof.
