- Major risk factors for urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) include smoking and occupational exposures, but 30% of cases are still unexplained; pet dogs may serve as models for studying non-tobacco UCC risk due to their similar disease behavior.
- Researchers exposed human and canine urothelial cells to acrolein and inorganic arsenic to explore DNA damage, finding specific genotoxic thresholds for each substance.
- The study indicated that non-tobacco exposure to acrolein could lead to early DNA damage in both humans and dogs, warranting further investigation into these chemical exposures in relation to UCC.
Background: The purpose of the study was to identify whether the presence of a pre-injury psychiatric history, subacute post-concussive symptoms (PCS) and personality traits were predictive of less favorable social reintegration for 3 months following a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
Method: A total of 76 patients with mTBI were included, and the presence of a pre-injury psychiatric history was identified from the medical chart. One-month post-accident, these patients completed the assessing personality traits and the to measure subacute PCS.
Aspergillosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in penguins, with triazole antifungal drugs being commonly used for prophylaxis and treatment. This report describes 15 cases of fatal hemolysis associated with liquid itraconazole and voriconazole formulations administered to African penguins () from four institutions. All penguins underwent stressful events (e.

There is minimal data assessing its efficacy in dogs. This study aimed to determine whether a single dose of cinacalcet decreases serum ionized calcium (iCa), total calcium (tCa), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations.

- Recent studies show that visiting museums can help people feel less stressed and anxious, but this isn't always the same for everyone.
- * Researchers wanted to understand how looking at art in museums affects how our brains work and makes older people feel better.
- * In the study, older adults looked at paintings and either thought deeply about them or just looked, and it turned out that really engaging with the art helped reduce their anxiety and stress.
