Introduction: Cost analysis is complicated by the fact that patients acquire infections during their hospital stay, having already spent time at risk without having an infection. Multi-state models (MSM) accounts for this time at risk treating infections as time-dependent exposures from ICU admission.
Aim Of The Study: To estimate ventilator-associated events (VAEs) direct additional cost in ICU patients.
This study aimed to determine the effects of two topical treatments on second-intention wound healing in cats. Eight 2 × 2 cm full-thickness wounds were created, four on each side of the dorsal midline of eight laboratory cats, to receive either medical-grade honey ointment (MGH) and its control (HC), or Hypericum-based ointment (HP) and its control (HPC). MGH or HP ointment was applied to four wounds on the same side, while the remaining four were used as controls, chosen at random.

In the present study, iron and zinc accumulation, the expression of MT-I/II and Aβ42, and their potential association with aging in the feline brain were assessed. Tissue sections from the temporal and frontal grey (GM) and white (WM) matter, hippocampus, thalamus, striatum, cerebellum, and dentate nucleus were examined histochemically for the presence of age-related histopathological lesions and iron deposits and distribution.

- Inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) is a significant disease affecting chickens globally, caused by Fowl Aviadenoviruses (FAdVs), with rising cases and virulence demanding more field data for effective control.
- A case study in Macedonia reported a severe IBH outbreak in a broiler farm of 64,000 birds, where Flock A experienced higher mortality despite all flocks testing positive for FAdV, suggesting strain variation or other influencing factors.
- Clinical signs included depression and diarrhea, and necropsy revealed liver enlargement and lesions in multiple organs, while histopathological findings confirmed significant liver inflammation and chronic pancreatic issues, impacting overall farm performance and economics negatively.
Canine lymphoma is a commonly reported neoplasia and, in most dogs, arises from lymph nodes before spreading to other organs. Renal lymphoma rarely occurs, and kidneys usually are a secondary site of origin. Primary renal lymphoma is infrequently described in the veterinary literature.
