To investigate the role of the intestinal bacterial microbiota in the pathogenesis of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis in cats, a condition characterized by the formation of kidney stones, it is desirable to identify a sample collection method that accurately reflects the microbiota's composition. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of fecal sample collection methods on the intestinal microbiota composition in two cat populations: healthy cats and kidney stone-diseased cats. The study included eighteen cats from the same colony, comprising nine healthy cats and nine cats with spontaneously occurring presumed calcium oxalate kidney stones.

Article Synopsis
- * A study assessed the use of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) profiling of serum samples from patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and controls to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosis.
- * The results indicated differences in metabolite profiles between the two groups, and machine learning algorithms achieved a discrimination AUC of around 0.77, suggesting SERS could be a promising diagnostic strategy for RCC, needing further validation in larger studies.
