Objective: To describe indications for and demonstrate the technique to perform a transtracheal aspirate in horses. Transtracheal aspirate is indicated to collect samples for cytology and bacteriologic culture in cases of suspected pneumonia or other lower respiratory tract disease.
Animals: 1 healthy university-owned horse was used for demonstration purposes.

Objectives: To determine the frequency of children with chronic respiratory failure (CRF) and home ventilator dependence undergoing surgery at a tertiary children's hospital, and to describe periprocedural characteristics and outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with CRF and home ventilator dependence who underwent noncardiac surgery from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2019. Descriptive statistics were used to report patient and procedural characteristics.

Background: Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a method for collecting the cellular and fluid components of the airway surface in the lungs. The assessment of differential cell profiles is potentially valuable in the diagnosis of pulmonary diseases, but there is no information about the normal BAL profiles in the Gezel breed.
Aim: This study aimed to characterize the normal cryptologic findings of BAL with Gezel sheep.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) released from dead or injured cells can activate inflammation, and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation can reduce inflammation and injury. However, it has not been tested whether the release of mtDNA can be reduced by MSC transplantation. We hypothesized that the level of extracellular mtDNA would be increased after hyperoxia-induced lung injury but reduced after lung injury attenuation by MSC therapy in our newborn rat model.
