Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how cats respond to bacterial versus viral infections, focusing on the inflammatory responses that play a key role in managing these infections.
  • It involved 75 cats divided into three groups: healthy controls, those with bacterial infections, and those with viral infections, analyzing various blood parameters.
  • Findings indicated that while some inflammatory markers were similar, certain markers like TGF-β were lower in viral infections, and WBC count and IL-6 levels were higher in bacterial infections, highlighting distinct response patterns that could aid in treatment strategies for feline diseases.

Background: Crush syndrome (CS) is characterized by high morbidity and mortality due to severe electrolyte disorders, circulatory dysfunction, and multiple organ failure, secondary to severe rhabdomyolysis and reperfusion injuries. Acute kidney injury (AKI) related to crush syndrome is one of the life-threatening complications and is the most frequent cause of death following earthquakes, other than trauma. We conducted a retrospective study to identify predictive parameters from clinical and laboratory data that aid in recognizing CS, assessing its severity, and evaluating acute kidney injury and amputation indications in patients.
