Article Synopsis
- * Dogs receiving the medetomidine-vatinoxan experienced lower mean arterial pressures (MAP) that stabilized at 102-104 mmHg, while those on medetomidine alone had significantly higher MAPs of 143-126 mmHg.
- * Heart rate (HR) remained stable in the medetomidine-vatinoxan group, whereas it dropped significantly in the medetomidine group, suggesting that vatinoxan could be beneficial in preventing bradycardia and managing systemic pressure during anesthesia in dogs.
Article Synopsis
- * A study tested radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a less risky alternative to surgery for treating insulinomas in 29 dogs, targeting tumors in the pancreas and nearby lymph nodes/liver.
- * Results showed RFA significantly improved blood glucose levels and reduced tumor size with minimal complications, indicating it could be a safe and effective treatment option.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how maternal energy restriction during different gestational periods affects the ovarian and cardiovascular development of female calves.
- The research involved feeding Holstein-Friesian heifers at different energy levels and measuring the impact on calf growth and ovarian traits, finding impaired ovarian development in restricted groups.
- Interestingly, while maternal energy restriction altered ovarian development, it did not affect the cardiovascular health of the offspring, suggesting specific critical windows for reproductive programming.
Background: Hemodynamic classification of pulmonary hypertension (PH) has important clinical implications. However, only a few echocardiographic variables have been used to hemodynamically classify PH in dogs.
Objective: To evaluate the echocardiographic pulmonary to left atrial ratio index (ePLAR) in dogs with PH.
Migrating grass awns are an important cause of disease in dogs and cats. Plant awns can migrate into several body tissues and cavities because of their fusiform shape and backward-pointing barbs. Their migration causes inflammatory tissue reaction and clinical signs depend upon their localization.
