Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common endocrine disorders in dogs, but prognostic factors are still largely unknown. The aim of this retrospective, single-centre, case series study was to determine overall survival time and identify the prognostic value of several clinical and clinicopathological variables in dogs with newly diagnosed DM.
Methods: Cases of DM were identified within the electronic medical records of one referral centre. Sixty-eight dogs with DM were included. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyse variables associated with survival.
Results: The median survival time was 964 days (range 22-3140). In multivariable model analysis, length of survival was significantly shorter for dogs with higher haematocrit value (hazard ratio (HR) 1.06, 95 per cent confidence interval (CI) 1.00 to 1.13) and higher serum phosphate concentrations (HR 1.83, 95 per cent CI 1.13 to 2.97). Serum phosphate concentrations were above the reference interval in 24 of 65 (37 per cent) dogs.
Conclusion: Diabetic dogs have a good life expectancy. Hyperphosphataemia is a relatively common finding in dogs with newly diagnosed DM and represents a negative prognostic factor. The presence of pancreatitis might not be associated with an unfavourable outcome.

(Un)Tying the Knot: Oxidative Stress, Inflammatory Markers, and Lipid Status in Dogs with Hypercortisolism.
Animals (Basel)

Department of Pathophysiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Belgrade, Bulevar Oslobođenja 18, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia.
The aim of this study was to revisit the complex relationship between inflammation, oxidative stress and lipid metabolism in dogs with hypercortisolism (HC). Fourteen dogs newly diagnosed with HC and an equal number of healthy counterparts of similar age and markers of oxidative stress (AOPP, TBARS, TAC, GSH, PON-1, and UA) and inflammation (NLR, PLR, SII, HPT, CHE, CP, and Hcy) were included in the study. To determine the lipid profiles, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels were measured, and the electrophoretic separation of lipoproteins was performed.

Objective: To investigate the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics and potential influencing factors of newly diagnosed echinococcosis cases in Qinghai Province from 2016 to 2022, so as to provide insights into the formulation of the echinococcosis control strategy in Qinghai Province.
Methods: The number of individuals screened for echinococcosis, number of newly diagnosed echinococcosis cases, number of registered dogs and number of stray dogs were captured from the annual reports of echinococcosis control program in Qinghai Province from 2016 to 2022, and the detection of newly diagnosed echinococcosis cases was calculated. The number of populations, precipitation, temperature, wind speed, sunshine hours, average altitude, number of year-end cattle stock, number of year-end sheep stock, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, and number of village health centers in each county (district) of Qinghai Province were captured from the , and county-level electronic maps in Qinghai Province were downloaded from the National Platform for Common Geospatial Information Services.

Article Synopsis
- * Carvacrol and geraniol showed strong repellent properties, with carvacrol's effectiveness comparable to DEET at specific concentrations and times.
- * The findings suggest that plant-derived compounds could serve as safer alternatives to synthetic tick repellents and have potential for development into effective biocidal products.
Forensic wound age estimation in dog tissue correlated with newly formed collagen fibres: a retrospective study.
J Comp Pathol

Institute of Veterinary Pathology, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zürich, Winterthurerstrasse 268, 8057 Zürich, Switzerland.
Parameters for wound age estimation are essential in forensic pathology but difficult to assess. With this retrospective study, wound age parameters in canine skin wounds were assessed with archive material of known age. Haematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining as standard, Prussian blue, Van Gieson (VG) and multiple other special stains were used as well as various immunohistochemistry (IHC) tests.

Background: Regenerative endodontic therapy (RET) is still coming up short to demonstrate histological evidence for true regeneration with clinically feasible protocol of cell homing in single visit approach.
Aim: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the regenerative potential of photobiomodulation (PBM) on RET in immature roots when photodynamic therapy (PDT) protocol is implemented for root canal disinfection in canine model.
Materials And Methods: Seventy-two root canals were recruited, with sixty assigned to experimental groups and twelve to positive and negative controls.
