Article Synopsis
- Minoxidil is primarily known for treating high blood pressure but has become popular for hair loss treatment due to its ability to improve blood flow; low-dose oral minoxidil (LDOM) is being explored as a potential alternative to topical applications.
- A review of studies showed that LDOM does not significantly change systolic or diastolic blood pressure, although there is a slight tendency towards lower mean arterial pressure; heart rate increased significantly in users.
- Despite some mild hypotensive symptoms reported, LDOM seems safe for treating alopecia, with hypertrichosis being the most common side effect prompting some users to stop the treatment.
Ketamine is an injectable anesthetic agent with analgesic and antidepressant effects that can prevent maladaptive pain. Ketamine is metabolized by the liver into norketamine, an active metabolite. Prior rodent studies have suggested that norketamine is thought to contribute up to 30% of ketamine's analgesic effect.

Animal Studied: Twenty-one client-owned dogs were undergoing enucleation.
Procedures: Dogs were randomly assigned to receive ITP (n = 10) or ST (n = 11) with 0.
Objective: To develop an ultrasound-guided interfascial plane technique for injection of the pudendal nerve near its sacral origin in cats.
Study Design: Prospective, randomized, anatomical study.
Animals: A group of 12 feline cadavers.
