Brachycephalic breeds suffer from respiratory distress known as brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) and the multiple comorbidities associated with it. Targeted breeding toward a more BOAS-free phenotype requires accurate and least invasive detection of BOAS severity grades that are accessible and accepted by the breeders and kennel clubs. This study aimed to compare the-outcome of morphometric anatomical examination with functional tests such as exercise tests and plethysmography for the detection of BOAS severity in a group of 84 French Bulldogs.

This research was carried out to assess the concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) and formaldehyde (HCHO) in Edo State, Southern Nigeria, using remote sensing data. A secondary data collection method was used for the assessment, and the levels of CO and HCHO were extracted annually from Google Earth Engine using information from Sentinel-5-P satellite data (COPERNISCUS/S5P/NRTI/L3_) and processed using ArcMap, Google Earth Engine, and Microsoft Excel to determine the levels of CO and HCHO in the study area from 2018 to 2023. The geometry of the study location is highlighted, saved and run, and a raster imagery file of the study area is generated after the task has been completed with a 'projection and extent' in the Geographic Tagged Image File Format (.

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is among the main causes of poisoning-related mortality and morbidity, primarily affecting the central nervous system and leading to delayed neurological sequelae. Idebenone exerts antioxidant and neuroprotective effects. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the specific neuroprotective effects of idebenone against CO poisoning.

Objectives: Hemolysis is a contributor to CS-AKI. Biochemistry analyzers provide a hemolysis index to quantify in vitro hemolysis, a condition that can, for example, affect the accuracy of potassium concentration measurements. We aimed to assess whether the postoperative plasma level of the hemolysis index (HI) could aid the early recognition of patients at risk for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) and also to evaluate other hemolysis indicators: plasma carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and methemoglobin (MetHb).
