Systemic aspects of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome

Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate systemic health variables in brachycephalic dogs affected by brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) and compare them with mesocephalic dogs, assessing if any changes are related to BOAS grades.

Static respiratory compliance in anaesthetised and intubated brachycephalic dogs with and without brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome

The Veterinary Journal
The impact of brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome in dogs (BOAS) on respiratory mechanics is unclear and may affect the choice of ventilation strategies during anaesthesia. This prospective study included 56 client-owned brachycephalic dogs, allocated to be BOAS (n = 26) or non-BOAS dogs (n = 30) based on functional grading.

Aspiration of superabsorbent polymer beads in a 2‐year‐old Boston terrier

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract This case report describes the first documented instance of a dog aspirating a superabsorbent polymer bead, commonly marketed as Orbeez, and its successful removal. Superabsorbent polymers are widely used in children's toys and decorative products, and they possess the ability to expand significantly in water.

Acute collapse in a dog with multiple autoimmune syndromes and polymyositis complicated by suspected organophosphate/carbamate toxicity

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract A 6.5‐year‐old, spayed, female dog presented in acute respiratory distress. On admission, the dog exhibited dyspnoea, bradycardia, cyanosis and gastrointestinal signs, requiring immediate intubation and mechanical ventilation. Diagnostic evaluation revealed reduced butyrylcholinesterase activity, non‐cardiogenic pulmonary oedema, elevated ...

Wnt Signaling Pathway: Biological Function, Diseases, and Therapeutic Interventions

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
The Wnt signaling pathway is essential for development and tissue homeostasis, while its dysregulation drives diverse diseases. This review systematically outlines its components, functions, regulators, and preclinical models, highlighting secreted frizzled‐related proteins (SFRPs) as context‐dependent, biphasic modulators.

Oral focal mucinosis in a dog with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome

Veterinary Record Case Reports
Abstract Oral focal mucinosis is an uncommon disorder primarily reported in people and characterised by excessive hyaluronic acid production in the mucosa. This report describes a novel occurrence of oral focal mucinosis in a 3‐year‐old French Mastiff with brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome, presenting with severe respiratory ...
