The Effect of Maropitant, Ondansetron and Metoclopramide on Dexmedetomidine-Induced Vomiting in Cats.

Objectives: Vomiting is frequently observed in cats after dexmedetomidine administration. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of different antiemetics in preventing vomiting in cats after dexmedetomidine administration.

Methods: Sixty-four cats were randomly allocated to receive saline solution (0.

Comparison of Serum USP9x and TGF-β Levels in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders with Healthy Controls.

Introduction: USP9X has been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders due to its role in synaptic development and neural function. This study aimed to compare USP9X and TGF-β levels in children with autism and healthy controls, and explore their relationship with autism severity.

Methods: Serum USP9X and TGF-β levels were measured in 41 healthy control children (aged 3-12 years) and 41 children with autism.

Assessment of Ophthalmology Residency Training in Switzerland: A Trainee-Based Survey.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the current status of ophthalmology residency training in Switzerland and provide insights for enhancing training programs.

Materials And Methods: The survey covered demographic data such as gender, age, workplace, and year of residency, as well as working conditions, current practical and diagnostic skills, interest in scientific work, and future plans. It consisted of 16 multiple choice questions (MCQ), 5 multiple select questions (MSQ), 8 free-text, 6 Net Promoter Score (NPS), and 4 Likert scale questions.

Comparison of human smartwatch and transmittance pulse oximetry for evaluating peripheral oxygen saturation in anesthetized dogs.

Background: Pulse oximetry is a valuable tool for monitoring animals during anesthesia and assessing the adequacy of administered oxygen therapy.

Aims: To compare the pulse oximeter readings obtained by the Garmin Fenix 5X plus (GF5Xp) smartwatch and transmittance pulse oximetry (TPO) in anesthetized dogs.

Methods: Twelve clinical canine patients requiring anesthesia for castration were prospectively enrolled in this study.

Evaluating the reproducibility of a deep learning algorithm for the prediction of retinal age.

Recently, a deep learning algorithm (DLA) has been developed to predict the chronological age from retinal images. The Retinal Age Gap (RAG), a deviation between predicted age from retinal images (Retinal Age, RA) and chronological age, correlates with mortality and age-related diseases. This study evaluated the reliability and accuracy of RA predictions and analyzed various factors that may influence them.
