Efficacy of Felpreva®, a new spot-on formulation containing tigolaner, emodepside and praziquantel, applied as a single application to cats artificially infested with ear mites ().

The efficacy of Felpreva® (Vetoquinol), a new spot-on application containing the novel acaricide and insecticide tigolaner in combination with emodepside and praziquantel, was evaluated in cats artificially infested with ear mites (). A total of three pivotal dose confirmation studies were conducted, two of them designed as non-interference studies. Cats were artificially infested with mites and randomly allocated into groups of 8 cats based on pre-treatment mite counts.

Association between Tulathromycin Treatment for Bovine Respiratory Disease and Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles among Gut Commensals and Foodborne Bacterial Pathogens Isolated from Feces of Beef Steers.

Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate the association between a therapeutic dose of tulathromycin for bovine respiratory disease in beef steers and the antimicrobial and multidrug resistance profiles of the gastrointestinal tract commensals Escherichia coli and Enterococcus spp. and the foodborne pathogens Salmonella enterica and Campylobacter spp. isolated from fecal samples.

The generative potential of mess in community-based participatory research with young people who use(d) drugs in Vancouver.

Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is increasingly standard practice for critical qualitative health research with young people who use(d) drugs in Vancouver, Canada. One aim of CBPR in this context is to redress the essentialization, erasure, and exploitation of people who use(d) drugs in health research. In this paper, we reflect on a partnership that began in 2018 between three university researchers and roughly ten young people (ages 17-28) who have current or past experience with drug use and homelessness in Greater Vancouver.

Evaluation of animal-to-animal and community contact structures determined by a real-time location system for correlation with and prediction of new bovine respiratory disease diagnoses in beef cattle during the first 28 days after feedlot entry.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether animal-to-animal and community contact patterns were correlated with and predictive for bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in beef steers during the first 28 days after feedlot entry. ANIMALS 70 weaned beef steers (mean weight, 248.9 kg).

Non-destructive clinical assessment of occlusal caries lesions using near-IR imaging methods.

Objective: Enamel is highly transparent in the near-IR (NIR) at wavelengths near 1,300 nm, and stains are not visible. The purpose of this study was to use NIR transillumination and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to estimate the severity of caries lesions on occlusal surfaces both in vivo and on extracted teeth.

Methods: Extracted molars with suspected occlusal lesions were examined with OCT and polarization sensitive OCT (PS-OCT), and subsequently sectioned and examined with polarized light microscopy (PLM) and transverse microradiography (TMR).

Imaging Natural Occlusal Caries Lesions with Optical Coherence Tomography.

Several studies have demonstrated that polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) can be used to nondestructively measure the severity of demineralization in the important occlusal surfaces. The purpose of this study was to assess the potential of PS-OCT and OCT methods for the measurement of the depth of natural occlusal carious lesions. Teeth were screened for potential occlusal lesions using near infrared imaging (NIR).
