Objectives: Vomiting is frequently observed in cats after dexmedetomidine administration. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of different antiemetics in preventing vomiting in cats after dexmedetomidine administration.
Methods: Sixty-four cats were randomly allocated to receive saline solution (0.
Background: Pulse oximetry is a valuable tool for monitoring animals during anesthesia and assessing the adequacy of administered oxygen therapy.
Aims: To compare the pulse oximeter readings obtained by the Garmin Fenix 5X plus (GF5Xp) smartwatch and transmittance pulse oximetry (TPO) in anesthetized dogs.
Methods: Twelve clinical canine patients requiring anesthesia for castration were prospectively enrolled in this study.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess if warmed intravenous (IV) fluids could help prevent hypothermia in anaesthetized calves during surgery, since results in other animals have been mixed.
- Thirty calves were split into two groups, one receiving room temperature fluids and the other receiving warmed fluids, while various physiological measures were recorded during the procedure.
- The results showed no significant differences in vital signs or recovery times between the two groups, indicating that warmed IV fluids alone are not effective in preventing hypothermia in calves during surgery.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined whether inhaled corticosteroids affect the severity and mortality of COVID-19 pneumonia among patients with chronic asthma and COPD.
- It was a retrospective observational study, comparing two groups: one that used inhaled corticosteroids and one that did not, finding no significant difference in pneumonia severity between the groups.
- Key risk factors for mortality included increasing age, mechanical ventilation, severe pneumonia, interstitial lung disease, and the use of prone position, while inhaled corticosteroid use did not correlate with increased severity or mortality.
Risk factors for the development of interstitial lung disease following severe COVID-19 pneumonia and outcomes of systemic corticosteroid therapy: 3-month follow-up.

Background: We aimed to evaluate the pulmonary involvement status, its related factors, and pulmonary function test (PFT) results in the first month follow-up in patients who were discharged for severe Covid-19 pneumonia, and to assess the efficacy of corticosteroid treatment on these parameters in severe pulmonary involvement patients.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all consecutive patients who applied to our COVID-19 follow-up clinic at the end of the first month of hospital discharge. Functional and radiological differences were compared after 3 months of corticosteroid treatment in severe pulmonary involvement group.
