An inquiry on the use of narcotics was carried through among practising veterinary surgeons and in animal hospitals. Of 5907 questionnaires sent out 2725 (46.1%) were returned; 86.3% of these stated the use of narcotics. There was a negative correlation between the use of narcotics and the age of the veterinary surgeons. Levomethadone, pentobarbital and fentanyl were used most often, the other narcotics were only mentioned in 1-2% of the questionnaires or not at all. Narcotics were primarily ordered for the veterinary "house pharmacy" and for use in practice, prescriptions for the individual patient being the exception.

Crossing the blood-brain barrier: emerging therapeutic strategies for neurological disease.
Lancet Neurol
January 2025
Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK. Electronic address:
The blood-brain barrier is a physiological barrier that can prevent both small and complex drugs from reaching the brain to exert a pharmacological effect. For treatment of neurological diseases, drug concentrations at the target site are a fundamental parameter for therapeutic effect; thus, the blood-brain barrier is a major obstacle to overcome. Novel strategies have been developed to circumvent the blood-brain barrier, including CSF delivery, intracranial delivery, ultrasound-based methods, membrane transporters, receptor-mediated transcytosis, and nanotherapeutics.

Thiadiazine thione (THTT) has gained significant interest owing to its pharmacological potentials, particularly its antiparasitic and anti-inflammatory properties. Leishmaniasis is a clinical syndrome caused by infection with species and is associated with an inflammatory response and nociception. The available treatments against leishmaniasis are inadequate, as they are associated with high cost, toxicity, and increased resistance.

Objective: The aim of this study was to report the outcome and prognosis of canine patients treated medically or surgically for rectal plasmacytomas and to identify factors associated with recurrence, mortality, or progression to multiple myeloma.
Methods: The databases of 7 referral hospitals were reviewed. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards analysis were used to determine the association of a range of variables with recurrence and progression-free interval for the surgically treated patients.
3-dimensional investigation of the vascular anatomy of the triquetrum with micro-computed tomography.

Department of Anatomy, Ankara University School of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey. Electronic address:
Background: This study aims to demonstrate the 3-dimensional pattern of the nutrient vessels of the triquetrum using micro-computed tomography and determine the safe region for screw applications to the bone.
Methods: Seven fresh frozen cadavers' ulnar and radial arteries were injected with Microfil MV-117. Triquetral bones were dissected and examined using micro-computed tomography.
LIN28B-mediated PI3K/AKT pathway activation promotes metastasis in colorectal cancer models.
J Clin Invest
January 2025
Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center, Division of Digestive and Liver, Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, United States of America.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer death due to metastatic spread. LIN28B is overexpressed in 30% of CRCs and promotes metastasis, yet its mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we genetically modified CRC cell lines to overexpress LIN28B, resulting in enhanced PI3K/AKT pathway activation and liver metastasis in mice.
