Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a type of hemorrhagic stroke, and the neuroprotective effects of nimodipine following SAH have been well-documented. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a mitochondrial nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylase, plays a significant role in mitigating oxidative stress in various neurodegenerative conditions. However, the role of SIRT3 in the neuroprotective mechanisms of nimodipine after SAH remains unclear.

Background: The subfamily Phlebotominae comprises 1028 species of sand fly, of which only 90 are recognized as vectors of pathogenic agents such as Trypanosoma, Leishmania, and Bartonella. In Thailand, leishmaniasis-a sand fly-borne disease-is currently endemic, with 36 documented sand fly species. However, many cryptic species likely remain unidentified.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) comprises alterations in brain anatomy and physiology that ultimately affect information processing and behavior. In most cases, autism is considered idiopathic, involving alterations in numerous genes whose functions are not extensively documented. We evaluated the C58/J mouse strain as an idiopathic model of ASD, emphasizing synaptic transmission as the basis of information processing.

Large animal models of inherited retinal diseases, particularly dogs, have been extensively used over the past decades to study disease natural history and evaluate therapeutic interventions. Our group of investigators at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine, has played a pivotal role in characterizing several of these animal models, documenting the natural history of their diseases, developing gene therapies, and conducting proof-of-concept studies. Additionally, we have assessed the potential toxicity of these therapies for human clinical trials, contributing to the regulatory approval of voretigene neparvovec-rzyl (Luxturna) by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of patients with confirmed biallelic mutation-associated retinal dystrophy.

Background: Two studies were conducted assessing the efficacy of NexGard® PLUS (NP) in preventing heartworm disease. Study 1 evaluated the efficacy of six monthly doses of NP or Simparica Trio® (ST) against a macrocyclic lactone-resistant isolate of heartworm, Dirofilaria immitis, and study 2 evaluated the efficacy of a single dose of NP against a susceptible isolate.
Methods: In two studies, dogs that were negative for heartworms by antigen test and modified Knott's test were used.
