Retrospective evaluation of the agreement between thoracic point-of-care ultrasound and thoracic radiographs in cats with recent trauma: 111 cats.

Introduction: Motor vehicular trauma, bite wounds, high-rise syndrome, and trauma of unknown origin are common reasons cats present to the emergency service. In small animals, thoracic injuries are often associated with trauma. The objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate limits of agreement (LOA) between thoracic point-of-care ultrasound (thoracic POCUS) and thoracic radiography (TXR), and to correlate thoracic POCUS findings to animal trauma triage (ATT) scores and subscores in a population of cats suffering from recent trauma.

High flow oxygen therapy versus conventional oxygen therapy in dogs and cats undergoing bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage: a pilot study.

Objectives: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of high flow oxygen therapy (HFOT), and to record SpO and desaturation episodes in dogs and cats receiving HFOT or conventional oxygen therapy (COT) during bronchoscopy ± bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL).

Materials And Methods: Dogs and cats undergoing bronchoscopy ± BAL between January and May 2023 were included in the study. Patients were randomly allocated to two groups: HFOT (HFOT group; two cats and four dogs) and COT (COT group; one cat and five dogs).

Ultrasonographic measurement of caudal vena cava to aorta ratio during fluid resuscitation of dogs with spontaneous circulatory shock.

Objectives: To describe the change in the caudal vena cava to aorta ratio (CVC:Ao) ratio during fluid resuscitation of circulatory shock in dogs and compare these results with those of the physical examination and blood lactate.

Materials And Methods: Perfusion parameters and blood lactate were recorded at admission. An abdominal point-of-care ultrasound protocol was performed, during which the caudal vena cava to aorta ratio was measured on the spleno-renal view.

Ultrasonographic findings of feline aortic thromboembolism.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to describe the ultrasonographic characteristics of feline aortic thromboembolism (ATE) and determine potential associations between ultrasonographic findings and prognosis.

Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from the medical records (2013-2021) of cats that were diagnosed ultrasonographically with ATE based on the presence of a thromboembolus (TE) in the distal aorta beginning after the departure of the renal arteries.

Results: Twenty-nine cats were included in this study.

Rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria following single induction dose of propofol in a dog.

Objective: To report a case of rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria following single induction dose of propofol in a dog.

Case Summary: A 5-year-old intact male Shih-Tzu dog was presented for pigmenturia occurring a few hours following anesthesia for comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment. After premedication with IV diazepam (0.

Evaluation of pimobendan effect on sublingual microcirculation in an experimental pharmacology induced hypotension porcine model.

New therapeutic approaches are needed to simultaneously resuscitate macro- and microcirculation during circulatory shock. The aims of this study were to explore the microcirculatory and macrocirculatory effects of pimobendan, an inodilator with dual phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitor and calcium-sensitizing effects, in an experimental porcine model of pharmacologically induced hypotension associating vasoplegia and decreased cardiac output. Eight piglets were anesthetized and monitored for their hemodynamic parameters.

Absorption and Metabolic Behavior of Hesperidin (Rutinosylated Hesperetin) after Single Oral Administration to Sprague-Dawley Rats.

We investigated the absorption and metabolic behavior of hesperidin (hesperetin-7--rutinoside) in the blood system of Sprague-Dawley rats by liquid chromatography- and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometries (LC-MS and MALDI-MS). After a single oral administration of hesperidin (10 mg/kg), which was expected to be absorbed in its degraded hesperetin form, we detected intact hesperidin in the portal vein blood (, 2 h) for the first time. We successfully detected glucuronized hesperidin in the circulating bloodstream, while intact hesperidin had disappeared.

Assessment of risks of feline mismatched transfusion and neonatal isoerythrolysis in the Lyon (France) area.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to update the prevalence of different feline blood types in the Lyon (France) area, as well as to determine the risk of mismatched transfusion (MT) and neonatal isoerythrolysis (NI) in kittens with parents of unknown blood type.

Methods: Blood samples were obtained from blood donor cats and cats admitted to an intensive care unit in Lyon. AB blood typing was performed using an immunochromatographic strip.

Lamellar body count and stable microbubble test on gastric aspirates from preterm infants for the diagnosis of respiratory distress syndrome.

Background: Lamellar body count (LBC) in amniotic fluid is being used to identify infants at risk of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) who would benefit from surfactant prophylaxis or very early therapy. The test in gastric aspirates of newborns has not been properly explored.

Objective: The main objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of LBC alone or in combination with the stable microbubble test (SMT), done on gastric aspirates from preterm babies to predict RDS.
