Article Synopsis
- Z-POEM is a special procedure to treat a problem called Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) and can be done in different ways that might be quicker and safer.
- In a study with 20 patients, they tried three methods and found that the new techniques (single-tunnel and tunnel-free) took less time than the standard method.
- All patients got better from their swallowing problems, and the new methods showed good results and safety, suggesting they could be better options for treating ZD.
Background: Diagnosis of canine adverse food reactions (AFRs) is based on vague criteria, such as '>50% improvement' during elimination diet trial (EDT) followed by 'deterioration' during provocation test (PT).
Objective: The objective of the study was to use predefined criteria to evaluate response during EDT [i.e.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the specificity of a rapid point-of-care test for the estimation of feline pancreatic lipase (SNAP fPL) in healthy and sick cats without clinical evidence of pancreatitis. A second objective was to evaluate the agreement between SNAP fPL and serum pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity (fPLI), as measured by Spec fPL.
Methods: A total of 150 cats were prospectively enrolled into this study.
Background: The high-frequency ultrasonographic appearance of skin of dogs with atopic dermatitis (cAD) has not been described.
Objectives: To compare high-frequency ultrasonographic findings among lesional, macroscopically nonlesional skin of dogs with cAD, and the macroscopically nonlesional skin of healthy dogs. Additionally, to determine whether there is any correlation between the ultrasonographic findings in lesional skin and local Canine Atopic Dermatitis Extent and Severity Index, 4th iteration (CADESI-04) or its domains (erythema, lichenification, excoriations/alopecia).
