  • This study establishes reference intervals (RI) for total antioxidant status (TAS) in dogs, addressing gaps in existing data and factors that affect TAS measurement.

  • The study aimed to analyze whether ticagrelor is more effective than clopidogrel in reducing heart damage during elective coronary procedures for patients with and without prior clopidogrel treatment.
  • Out of 1,882 participants, those who were not on clopidogrel had a lower rate of heart injury compared to those who had been, but overall, ticagrelor did not show significant benefits over clopidogrel for reducing complications.
  • The findings suggest that clopidogrel-naive patients generally experienced fewer complications due to a lower risk profile and simpler procedures, with no notable differences in outcomes based on previously taking clopidogrel.
