J Vet Emerg Crit Care (San Antonio)
December 2024
Objectives: (1) To compare the results of a rapid test for qualitative detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) values >1 ng/mL with those obtained using a reference quantitative method and (2) to perform a semiquantitative assessment of rapid test results using this point-of-care (POC) assay.
Design: Prospective cross-sectional study from April 2015 to November 2020.
Setting: Secondary referral hospital.
Case Summary: Acute hepatitis and liver damage are rare adverse effects of clopidogrel in humans. In veterinary medicine, clopidogrel is mainly prescribed in the treatment of feline patients with cardiomyopathies. Little is known regarding the safety and adverse effects of clopidogrel in this group of patients.

We have showed a risen trend of S. pyogenes infections among preschoolers after the pandemic event.

- * A case study details a woman who sustained a left ICA injury during nasal surgery; treatment included using a Foley catheter for hemostasis and subsequent cerebral bypass with a cephalic vein graft after the planned radial artery graft was found occluded.
- * The experience indicates that microsurgical trapping combined with a high-flow bypass is an effective approach for ICA injury and carotid-cavernous fistula, highlighting the usefulness of the cephalic vein as an alternative graft.
Article Synopsis
- This study compares two popular weight loss surgeries, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), focusing on how these procedures affect gut microbiota over a two-year period.
- Researchers collected fecal and blood samples from 54 severely obese patients before and after surgery, finding that both procedures led to significant changes in the gut microbiome and overall nutritional parameters.
- The study concludes that while both surgeries resulted in substantial shifts in gut bacteria composition, the specific technique used did not significantly affect these changes, suggesting that gut microbiota could be a potential indicator of post-surgery outcomes.
