Contrast-enhanced computed tomography as a preoperative indicator of vascular invasion from adrenal masses in dogs.

The purpose of this study was to determine if contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) accurately reflected vascular luminal invasion by adrenal masses in dogs. Medical records of 15 dogs with 17 adrenal masses that underwent preoperative CT imaging were reviewed. Presence or absence of vascular invasion was confirmed by surgery or necropsy/histology.

In vitro effects of the active metabolite of leflunomide, A77 1726, on feline herpesvirus-1.

Objective: To determine whether the active metabolite of leflunomide, A77 1726 (A77), inhibits replication of feline herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1) in cell culture.

Study Population: Crandell Rees feline kidney (CRFK) cell cultures.

Procedures: Cell cultures were inoculated with FHV-1 and treated simultaneously with concentrations of A77 ranging from 0 to 200microM.
