Retrospective evaluation of the influence of phenoxybenzamine pretreatment on intraoperative cardiovascular variables in dogs with pheochromocytoma.

Objective: To compare cardiovascular outcomes in dogs undergoing adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma with and without phenoxybenzamine pretreatment.

Animals: A total of 65 medical records from dogs at 5 veterinary hospitals.

Procedure: Records from January 2004 to December 2021 were evaluated for systolic, mean, and diastolic arterial pressures; numbers of hypertensive and hypotensive episodes; highest and lowest systolic arterial pressure differences; dose and duration of phenoxybenzamine; and presence of intraoperative arrhythmias.

Effects of luteinizing hormone receptor activation in immortalized neoplastic canine T lymphocytes.

Objective: The expression of luteinizing hormone (LH) receptors has been reported in canine nonneoplastic and neoplastic lymphocytes. This study aimed to determine the effect of LH receptor activation in neoplastic canine T lymphocytes.

Methods: Cell lines (CLC, CLK, EMA) derived from 3 dogs with primary T-cell lymphoma were used.

Transport starter data kit: Historical passenger and freight transport data for selected countries in Africa, Asia, and South America.

The demand for data-driven models to inform sustainable transportation planning has become more important as countries address the complexities of urban mobility. However, data collection and curation are time-consuming and can be challenging due to data inaccessibility and inaccuracy. The Transport Starter Data Kit therefore aims to address these challenges, offering a one-stop-shop for transport modelling-related data.

Palaeohistology of Macrospondylus bollensis (Crocodylomorpha: Thalattosuchia: Teleosauroidea) from the Posidonienschiefer Formation (Toarcian) of Germany, with insights into life history and ecology.

The Posidonienschiefer Formation of southern Germany has yielded an array of incredible fossil vertebrates. One of the best represented clades therein is Teleosauroidea, a successful thalattosuchian crocodylomorph group that dominated the coastlines. The most abundant teleosauroid, Macrospondylus bollensis, is known from a wide range of body sizes, making it an ideal taxon for histological and ontogenetic investigations.
