Objective: To identify metabolites and metabolic pathways affected in dogs with aminoaciduric canine hypoaminoacidemic hepatopathy syndrome (ACHES) compared to healthy control (CON) dogs of similar ages and breeds. To improve our understanding of ACHES pathophysiology and identify novel candidate biomarkers associated with ACHES.
Animals: A prospective case-control study.
Objective: To characterize clinical, clinicopathologic, and hepatic histopathologic features and outcome for dogs with probable ketoconazole-induced liver injury.
Animals: 15 dogs with suspected ketoconazole-induced liver injury that underwent liver biopsy.
Procedures: Medical record data were summarized regarding signalment, clinical signs, clinicopathologic and hepatic histopathologic findings, concurrent medications, ketoconazole dose, treatment duration, and outcome.
Background: Lymphedema surgery was not widely known in Austria before the introduction of lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) and vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) in 2014. This study shares the experience and process of establishing and institutionalizing lymphedema surgery service in Austria.
Methods: The purpose of introducing reconstructive lymphedema surgery in Austria was to improve lymphedema patients' quality of life and provide them surgical therapy as an adjuvant treatment to complete decongestive therapy.
In recent years it was disclosed, that numerous organotin(IV) derivatives have remarkable cytotoxicity against several types of cancer cells. The property to inhibit cell growth makes these compounds promising for antitumor therapy, as the clinical effectiveness of cisplatin is limited by drug resistance and significant side effects. Tributyltin and triphenyltin are known as endocrine disruptors.

The experience gained during this period is the largest in the country, positioning the Hospital Luis Calvo Mackenna and Clinica Las Condes as major referral centers in the public and private sectors. The aim of this study was to report our experience of our pediatric liver transplantation program during this period.
