Objective: To characterize the clinical, diagnostic imaging, and histologic features with description of treatment outcome of periapical cysts in dogs.

Animals: Ten client-owned dogs diagnosed with periapical cysts biopsied between July 1, 2000 and June 30, 2020.

Objective: To evaluate a regimen of inhaled Technosphere insulin (TI) plus insulin degludec in adults with type 1 diabetes, who prestudy were predominately using either an automated insulin delivery (AID) system or multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) with continuous glucose monitoring.

Research Design And Methods: At 19 sites, adults with type 1 diabetes were randomly assigned to TI plus insulin degludec (N = 62) or usual care (UC) with continuation of prestudy insulin delivery method (N = 61) for 17 weeks.

Results: Prestudy, AID was used by 48% and MDI by 45%.

Necrotizing Meningoencephalitis (NME), a form of Meningoencephalitis of Unknown Origin (MUO), is a progressive neuroinflammatory disease that primarily affects young, small-breed dogs. Due to limited understanding of its pathophysiology, early detection and the development of targeted therapies remain challenging. Definitive ante-mortem diagnosis is often unfeasible, and dogs with NME are frequently grouped under the broader MUO category.

Article Synopsis
  • Primary production in the sunlit ocean relies on nutrients like nitrate, phosphate, and iron, which are essential for phytoplankton to convert CO2 into biomass.
  • Microbial metabolism in the upper mesopelagic 'twilight zone' (200-500 m) is believed to be constrained by the availability of organic carbon.
  • The study reveals high concentrations of siderophores, indicating iron deficiency in both the surface and twilight zone of the eastern Pacific Ocean, suggesting that low iron availability may limit microbial metabolism across larger areas of the ocean, impacting carbon storage.
