Article Synopsis
- A 13-year-old neutered male cat showed symptoms of anorexia, lethargy, and a distended abdomen, which led to the discovery of ascites through abdominocentesis.
- Diagnostic tests including blood tests, imaging, and histopathology revealed signs of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) and identified the presence of fibrous membranes and calcifications in the abdomen.
- The final diagnosis was poorly differentiated invasive malignant neoplasms, categorized as carcinomatosis, marking it as the first reported case of sclerosing peritoneal carcinomatosis with osseous metaplasia in a cat.
We evaluated the bioavailability, liver distribution, and efficacy of silymarin-D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) solid dispersion (silymarin-SD) in rats with acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity (APAP) compared with silymarin alone. The solubility of silybin, the major and active component of silymarin, in the silymarin-SD group increased 23-fold compared with the silymarin group. The absorptive permeability of silybin increased by 4.

We aimed to evaluate neurocognitive functions associated with lead in the blood and the interactions between lead and dopaminergic or noradrenergic pathway-related genotypes in youths with ADHD.
Methods: A total of 259 youths with ADHD and 96 healthy controls (aged 5-18 years) enrolled in this study.
Article Synopsis
- Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) virus is a newly emerging virus primarily found in East Asia.
- A 4-year-old dog in South Korea showed symptoms like fever and vomiting and was diagnosed with SFTS through various tests.
- This case highlights the need for more research on SFTSV in pets and the potential for transmission between animals and humans.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of comorbid psychiatric symptoms on quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) activities in boys with the attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Methods: All participants were male students in the second, third or fourth grade in elementary school. Therefore, there were no significant differences in age or sex.
Objectives: To investigate differences in psychopathological, temperamental and characteristic factors between young adults with and without persistent Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms.
Methods: A total of 429 university students were divided into three groups: persistent adult ADHD (n = 53), only childhood ADHD (n = 56) and healthy controls (n = 320). The Korean Adult ADHD Scale, Korean Wender-Utah Rating Scale, Beck Depression Inventory-II, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, Korean Young Internet Addiction Scale, and Temperament Character Inventory-Revised (TCI-R; based on Cloninger's seven factor model of temperament and character) were used to evaluate psychopathological factors.
Transcutaneous cardiac pacing (TCP) can be used in dogs with a high risk for bradyarrhythmias prior to anesthesia, either in an emergency room or intensive care unit setting. Furthermore, TCP can also be used on patients diagnosed with bradyarrhythmias that require temporary pacing at the induction of anesthesia for the implantation of a permanent pacemaker. Despite the importance of TCP in emergency medicine, no studies have evaluated the optimal size and placement of the transdermal electrodes crucial for the efficacy of TCP in dogs.
