Similar to humans, dogs could suffer an Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder-like syndrome (ADHD-like). In fact, several studies highlight the use of dogs as a model for studying ADHD. This condition entails behavioral problems expressed through impulsivity, attention issues, hyperactivity, and/or aggression, compromising the quality of life for both the caregiver and the dog.

To investigate and evaluate the volumetric variation of OCs through multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) scans. We performed a retrospective review of MSCT scans of 79 subjects, 40 male and 39 female patients, Whose age ranged from 18 to 83 (mean: 39.

ADHD has a very complex pathophysiology in which many neurotransmitters are involved, such as serotonin and dopamine. The aim of the study was to evaluate serum serotonin and dopamine levels in dogs with ADHD-like symptomatology.

- Milk fatty acid composition has become a focal point for both manufacturers and consumers, prompting research into how factors like type of feed, cow parity, lactation phase, and season affect this composition.
- Cows fed total mixed rations with corn silage produced milk with higher levels of certain saturated fatty acids (C14:0, C16:0, SFA), while those on pasture had less saturated fat but more polyunsaturated fat (PUFA).
- The study found that as cows progress through lactation, certain fatty acids change in concentration, indicating variations based on health and environmental factors, which could influence milk quality and methane output.
