CPAP effects on respiratory function in foals.
Study evaluated the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivered by a commercial human CPAP device on respiratory function in foals with pharmacologically induced respiratory suppression.
Evaluation of feline pemphigus foliaceus in 49 cats
Domestic short/medium/long hair breeds were most commonly affected, with pinnae, head, haired face, nasal planum and ungual folds most frequently involved.
Redox unbalance in the hyperthyroid cat
Feline hyperthyroidism, the most common endocrinopathy in older cats, is similar in pathology to human thyrotoxicosis. In humans, thyrotoxicosis is associated with redox unbalance, which may result in organ damage. This study compared the redox status of cats with hyperthyroidism with that of healthy cats and cats with chronic non-thyroidal illness.
Canine heart base tumors treated with toceranib phosphate
Heart base tumors occur commonly in older, brachycephalic dogs and are typically diagnosed via echocardiogram. Effective treatments so far have been limited to surgery (if possible) or radiation therapy. This study suggests that medical therapy may also be an option.
Characterization of Equine Immune-Mediated Keratitis
Sudy showed that cellular changes in endothelial IMMK were largely confined to the endothelium and distinct from the other forms of IMMK evaluated.
Congenital Malformations of Screw Tailed Breeds
This study suggests a possible association between the degree of tail malformation and lumbosacral hemivertebrae.
