- The study aimed to evaluate the effects of different resuscitation fluids on blood coagulation and related metrics in a controlled hemorrhage model using six cats.
- Cats underwent three treatments over two months: no hemorrhage with sham resuscitation, resuscitation with lactated Ringer's solution (LRS), and resuscitation with Voluven (a starch solution). Blood tests were conducted at multiple time points.
- Results showed that both LRS and Voluven led to significant prolongation of prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), as well as reduced hematocrit (HCT) and platelet counts, indicating hypocoagulopathy
Comparatively little is known about the distribution and ecology of Aardvark () and Temminck's Ground Pangolin (). Both are elusive species that are normally nocturnal, solitary, and fossorial. Formally collected records have been used to map the distribution of these species, and social media records provide a tool to gather information on their distribution and ecology.

While it performs well in the experimental context, its clinical utility is untested. This prospective, repeated-measures study mixed qualitative and quantitative methods to examine the utility and performance of the SPARS in a clinical context, and to compare it with the widely used 11-point NRS for pain.
