Resolution of chronic regurgitation in an 8 month old Babydoll sheep by thoracoscopic treatment of a vascular ring anomaly.

Objective: The objective was to describe the successful thoracoscopic treatment of esophageal entrapment resulting from a vascular ring anomaly (VRA) comprising a persistent right aortic arch (PRAA) and left ligamentum arteriosum (LA) in a Babydoll sheep wether.

Study Design: Case report.

Animal: Eight month old Babydoll sheep wether, 13 kg.

Evaluation of gastroprotectant administration in hospitalized cats in a tertiary referral hospital.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the prescription patterns and appropriateness of the use of gastroprotectant medication in cats.

Methods: Pharmacy dispensation logs from an academic tertiary referral center were reviewed between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2018. Cats that were administered proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs), sucralfate, misoprostol, antacids or a combination were included.

Performance of a commercially available artificial intelligence software for the detection of confirmed pulmonary nodules and masses in canine thoracic radiography.

Advancements in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) are modest in veterinary medicine relative to their substantial growth in human medicine. However, interest in this field is increasing, and commercially available veterinary AI products are already on the market. In this retrospective, diagnostic accuracy study, the accuracy of a commercially available convolutional neural network AI product (Vetology AI®) is assessed on 56 thoracic radiographic studies of pulmonary nodules and masses, as well as 32 control cases.
