Thrombocytosis in brachycephalic dogs with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome [PDF]

Veterinární Medicína, 2023
Brachycephalic dogs are prone to a conformation-related respiratory disorder known as brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS). Due to its systemic consequences, BOAS should be considered a systemic disease.

Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome: much more than a surgical problem [PDF]

Veterinary Quarterly, 2022
Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is a chronic, lifelong, debilitating, primarily obstructive airway disease which adversely affects the quality of life of many popular dog breeds.

Echocardiographic analysis of dogs before and after surgical treatment of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Brachycephalic dogs with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) are a valuable animal model for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in humans. Clinical signs of upper airway obstruction improve after surgical treatment of BOAS, but the impact of ...

Short-term effects of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome surgery on fitness and exercise in brachycephalic dogs [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionBrachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) significantly impacts the physical fitness of affected dogs. This study aimed to assess changes in physical fitness, as measured by vital signs and salivary cortisol and vasopressin ...

The effect of the surgical treatment of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome on the thermoregulatory response to exercise in French bulldogs: a pilot study [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
IntroductionDue to altered anatomy of the upper respiratory tract, brachycephalic dogs exhibit increased airway resistance and reduced surface area for evaporative heat loss, predisposing them to respiratory and thermoregulatory problems, a syndrome ...

Characterization of Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome in Cats Using Barometric Whole-Body Plethysmography [PDF]

Animals
Objectives: To confirm the utility of barometric whole-body plethysmography (BWBP) as a non-invasive, clinical diagnostic test for brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) in cats.

Canine brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome as a model for studying the effects of obstructive sleep apnea during pregnancy. [PDF]

Animal Model Exp Med
We observed a negative effect of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) in a staggered manner based on the severity of the condition on respiratory and cardiac patterns, glycemia, acid–base balance, fetal growth, and uterine artery hemodynamics, thus requiring adaptations within the fetal–placental unit. Severely affected bitches had uterine

Evaluation of infrared thermography and 6-minute walk tests to assess airflow limitation, impaired thermoregulation, and exercise intolerance in dogs with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Routine clinical evaluation fails to detect physiologic consequences of BOAS including airflow limitation, exercise intolerance, and impaired ...
