Lung aeration and volumes following alveolar recruitment maneuvers with three airway pressures in healthy anesthetized and mechanically ventilated Beagle dogs.

Objective: To compare the effects of three recruitment airway pressures (RP) on lung aeration and volumes in mechanically ventilated dogs during propofol anesthesia.

Study Design: Prospective, crossover randomized experimental study.

Animals: A total of eight healthy anesthetized experimental Beagle dogs in dorsal recumbency.

Evaluation of an oscillometric blood pressure monitor in anesthetized dogs: Agreement with direct measurements and ability to detect hypotension.

We evaluated the agreement between oscillometric and direct blood pressure monitors in anesthetized dogs and evaluated the ability of the oscillometric method to detect MAP <60 mmHg. Forty client-owned dogs, three months to 14 years old, 4.6-50.

Standing Sedation and Iocoregional Analgesia in Equine Dental Surgery.

Procedural sedation has become popular for describing a semiconscious state that allows patients to be comfortable during certain surgical or diagnostic procedures. Sedation may be enhanced by locoregional anesthetic techniques to produce sufficient analgesia and muscle relaxation for surgery to occur. Sedation and local anesthesia for standing diagnostic and surgical procedures on the horse's head circumvents the potential complications of general anesthesia (particularly, complications related to recovery).

Phosphorylation of Lte1 by Cdk prevents polarized growth during mitotic arrest in S. cerevisiae.

Lte1 is known as a regulator of mitotic progression in budding yeast. Here we demonstrate phosphorylation-dependent inhibition of polarized bud growth during G2/M by Lte1. Cla4 activity first localizes Lte1 to the polarity cap and thus specifically to the bud.
