Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare postoperative pain levels in dogs undergoing abdominal surgery treated with either bupivacaine liposomal injectable suspension (BLIS) or saline during incision closure.
  • A total of 40 dogs were evaluated, with pain assessed using various methods such as blood pressure measurements and the Glasgow Composite Measure Pain Scale (GCMPS).
  • Findings revealed minimal differences in pain management between the two groups, with BLIS showing slightly lower GCMPS scores at day 3 but no significant advantages in overall pain control or complication rates compared to saline.

One of several upstream receptors, cyclic GMP-AMP synthase, binds to cytosolic DNA and generates dicyclic nucleotides that act as secondary messengers. These secondary messengers bind directly to stimulator of IFN genes (STING).
