Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the pain relief and side effects of two pain management methods in dogs after limb amputation: bupivacaine liposome injectable solution (BLIS) and a combination of 0.5% bupivacaine with fentanyl.
- Conducted as a randomized double-blind trial with 40 dogs, the research evaluated pain, sedation, and nausea at various time points post-surgery.
- Results showed that BLIS offered similar pain relief with fewer side effects compared to the fentanyl method, suggesting it could reduce opioid use after surgery.
In 6002 Australian adults with type 2 diabetes and a median 5-year follow-up in the FIELD (Fenofibrate Intervention and Event Lowering in Diabetes) trial, baseline socioeconomic status (SES) and self-reported education level were not related to development of on-trial sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy. Similarly, in a retinal photography substudy (n = 549), two-step diabetic retinopathy progression was not related to SES or education.

Alkaline phosphatase cytochemistry (ALP-CC) has been used to identify primary pulmonary carcinomas in human patients, and we hypothesized it could be applied to canine lung aspirates.
Objective: We aimed to characterize ALP-CC expression in fine-needle aspirate (FNA) samples of canine pulmonary neoplastic and non-neoplastic tumors.
Companion animals have been shown to carry Clostridioides difficile strains that are similar or identical to strains found in people, and a small number of studies have shown that pets carry genetically identical C. difficile isolates as their owners, suggesting inter-species transmission. However, the directionality of transmission is ultimately unknown, and the frequency with which animals acquire C.
