An 8-yr-old, captive, spayed, female maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) developed progressive lethargy and weakness over a 24-hr period. Clinical signs included vomiting, recumbency, horizontal nystagmus, possible blindness, pale icteric mucus membranes, and port-wine colored urine. A complete blood cell count revealed severe anemia (packed cell volume [PCV], 6%) and intraerythrocytic piroplasms consistent with a Babesia species.

Approximately 1 year after the initial diagnosis of CKD both cats developed renal transitional cell carcinoma (TCC)--bilateral in one cat. Based on post-mortem examination, one cat had no evidence of metastasis and the other had metastasis to the large intestine, heart and lungs.

- Researchers are exploring localized magnetic hyperthermia as a cancer treatment, focusing on targeted delivery to tumor sites.
- The study used neural progenitor cells (NPCs) as delivery vehicles for iron-based magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in a mouse melanoma model, showing efficient loading without harming the cells.
- After exposing the tumor to alternating current magnetic fields, the NPCs delivered MNPs effectively, resulting in significant tumor regression within 24 hours after treatment.
