Background: Pulse oximetry has not been thoroughly evaluated for assessment of oxygenation in conscious foals. Compared with invasive arterial blood sampling, it is a painless and non-invasive method for real-time monitoring of blood oxygen saturation. The aim of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate the usability, validity, and reliability of pulse oximetry at two measuring sites (lip and caudal abdominal skin fold) for blood oxygen saturation measurement in conscious foals with and without respiratory compromise.

Factors affecting the survival of young foals with pneumonia have not been thoroughly investigated. The aim of this study was to explore the potential prognostic factors associated with survival of these foals.

- There's a growing interest in using cellulose-based materials for biomedical purposes, but there's a lack of detailed studies on these materials from different sources and processing methods.
- This research tested the biocompatibility of various cellulose forms, including bacterial nanocellulose and regenerated cellulose, against synthetic options like polypropylene in a subcutaneous model.
- While regenerated cellulose showed promise as a safe alternative, fragmentation issues in cellulose nanofibril meshes indicate a need for better processing techniques to enhance their effectiveness.
Background: Canine coxofemoral joint osteoarthritis is a common, painful and debilitating condition. The objective of this study was to evaluate if any measurable changes in pain or lameness occurred in this patient group immediately after a single treatment with pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. Eight dogs with coxofemoral joint osteoarthritis presenting with signs of pain and lameness were prospectively recruited to this randomised, controlled, double blinded, cross-over study.
