Plasma lactate concentrations in septic peritonitis: A retrospective study of 83 dogs (2007-2012).
J Vet Emerg Crit Care (San Antonio)
April 2016
Objective: To determine if absolute plasma lactate concentration or lactate clearance in dogs with septic peritonitis is associated with morbidity or mortality.
Design: Retrospective cohort study from 2007 to 2012.
Setting: University teaching hospital.
Autologous canine red blood cell transfusion using cell salvage devices.
J Vet Emerg Crit Care (San Antonio)
July 2013
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how automated blood salvage devices can collect and reuse a dog's own blood during and after surgery, reducing the need for donor blood.
- The devices wash the blood with saline to eliminate unwanted components, allowing for the safe return of red blood cells to the patient.
- While the use of blood salvage in humans has proven safe over time, more research is needed to confirm its safety in veterinary applications.
Ionized calcium concentrations in cats with septic peritonitis: 55 cases (1990-2008).
J Vet Emerg Crit Care (San Antonio)
August 2010
Objective: To report the prevalence of ionized hypocalcemia (iHCa) in cats with septic peritonitis, and to determine whether hypocalcemic cats had increased morbidity and mortality when compared with normocalcemic cats.
Design: Retrospective clinical study.
Setting: University teaching hospital.
Objective: To develop a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay to detect canine melanoma-associated antigens (MAAs) and to use this technique to screen aspirates of lymph nodes (LNs) for evidence of metastatic spread of oral malignant melanoma.
Animals: 7 dogs with oral malignant melanoma and 4 dogs with multicentric lymphosarcoma.
Procedures: We prepared cDNA from melanoma tumor biopsies and fine-needle aspirates obtained from submandibular LNs of dogs with oral malignant melanoma or multicentric lymphosarcoma.
