Total serum and ionized magnesium concentrations in healthy and hospitalized dogs.

Objective: To determine if an association between ionized magnesium (iMg) and total magnesium (tMg) exists in healthy and hospitalized dogs admitted through an emergency service and to assess the associations between iMg and tMg with total protein, albumin, ionized calcium, and total calcium.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Setting: Veterinary teaching hospital.

However, the potential mismatch between the trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) strains and those circulating during the season remains an issue.

Real-Time Measurement of Crowding in Pediatric Emergency Department: Derivation and Validation Using Consensual Perception of Crowding (SOTU-PED).

Our study aimed to develop and validate a real-time crowding composite scale for pediatric emergency department (PED). The study took place in one teaching PED for 2 months. The outcome was the perception of crowding evaluated by triage nurses and pediatricians on a 10-level Likert scale.
