Published: November 2023

A 6-year-old female spayed Great Dane was evaluated for acute onset cluster seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) identified a mass in the olfactory bulbs with a large mucoid component caudal to the primary mass. The mass was removed via transfrontal craniotomy and histopathology revealed a tyrosine crystalline-rich, fibrous meningioma with a high mitotic index. Repeat MRI at 6 months showed no detectable tumor regrowth. The dog is clinically normal with no seizures at the time of publication 10 months after surgery. This meningioma subtype is rare in humans. This unique meningioma occurred in a dog of younger age and uncommon breed for intracranial meningioma. Biological progression of this tumor subtype is unknown; however, growth rate might be slow despite the high mitotic index.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study introduces Sensor-seq, a high-throughput platform that allows for the design and identification of aTF biosensors that can bind to a variety of non-native ligands, testing 17,737 variants of aTF TtgR against multiple compounds.
  • * Sensor-seq successfully finds biosensors with high performance for various ligands and showcases their practical use through cell-free detection systems for specific drugs, enhancing the ability to create new biosensors beyond natural limitations.

This case report describes the clinical, radiographic, and histopathological features of a self-limiting mandibular swelling in a juvenile, large breed dog with a diagnosis of mandibular periostitis ossificans (MPO). This is a pathologic syndrome of immature large breed dogs that presents with a unilateral, nonpainful, caudal mandibular swelling centering on the erupting first molar tooth. This condition affects dogs with a median age of approximately 4 months.

Canine leishmaniosis (CanL), caused by Leishmania infantum, is a complex disease of growing importance in Europe. Clinical manifestations result from the down-modulation of the host immune response through multiple host-parasite interactions. Although several factors might influence CanL progression, this is the first known study evaluating risk factors for its different clinical stages in a large referral hospital population (n = 35.
