Background: During recent years FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) has shown promising results in radiation oncology, with the potential to spare normal tissue while maintaining the antitumor effects. The high speed of the FLASH-RT delivery increases the need for fast and precise motion monitoring to avoid underdosing the target. Surface guided radiotherapy (SGRT) uses surface imaging (SI) to render a 3D surface of the patient.

Objective: To review current and emerging nutritional approaches in the management of acute pancreatitis (AP) in people, dogs, and cats, and to provide a framework for further investigation in this field.
Data Sources: Veterinary retrospective studies and reviews, human prospective clinical trials and reviews, and experimental animal studies focusing on nutritional management during AP.
Summary: Nutritional management is an important part of the treatment plan for patients with AP.
Article Synopsis
- The first cases of early-onset progressive polyneuropathy in Alaskan Malamutes were identified in Norway during the late 1970s, initially affecting both male and female dogs, leading to severe mobility issues.
- Genetic analysis revealed a harmful mutation in the NDRG1 gene in affected dogs, specifically a Gly98Val substitution linked to the disease.
- This discovery not only establishes a potential genetic cause for the condition in Alaskan Malamutes but also presents a new model for understanding similar human neuropathies and the possibility of selective breeding to reduce the mutation's prevalence.
Background: Sepsis caused by Staphylococcus aureus constitutes an important cause of morbidity and mortality in humans, and the incidence of this disease-entity is increasing. In this paper we describe the initial microbial dynamics and lesions in pigs experimentally infected with S. aureus, with the aim of mimicking human sepsis and pyemia.
