Omeprazole as a Novel Treatment Option for Giardiasis in Cats

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
In this study, cats with giardiasis were allocated to omeprazole, metronidazole, secnidazole or placebo groups and monitored from day 0 to 14. Omeprazole achieved a reduction in Giardia cyst shedding comparable to metronidazole and also demonstrated faster clinical improvement, indicating a potential therapeutic advantage.

Investigation of Some Clinicopathologic Alterations in Cats Infected With Mycoplasma haemofelis and Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum in Mashhad, Iran: An Observational Cross‐Sectional Study

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study detected Mycoplasma haemofelis (34.78%) and Candidatus M. haemominutum (65.21%) in 23% of Iranian cats via PCR. Infection correlated with age, gender and outdoor access (*p < 0.05), causing significant hematologic/biochemical changes. No inter‐species differences in clinical presentation emerged between Mhf and CMhm. ABSTRACT Background Data

Clinical and computed tomography findings of fatal poxviral vasculitis in a domestic shorthair cat

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract This report describes the clinical presentation, haematological abnormalities and imaging findings of systemic poxvirus infection in a cat that resulted in widespread severe dermal oedema and systemic inflammatory response syndrome. The cat lacked cutaneous lesions before the onset of dermal oedema, but developed crusting skin lesions and a ...

Allogenic blood patch pleurodesis for management of presumptive secondary spontaneous pneumothorax in a cat

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract A 7‐year‐old spayed female domestic shorthair cat was presented with respiratory distress due to presumed spontaneous pneumothorax. High‐resolution computed tomography identified subpleural blebs and paraseptal emphysema with peribronchial thickening and bronchiectasis.

Clinical and computed tomographic characteristics of conjunctival large cell lymphoma in a cat

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract This case report describes a 12‐year‐old, female, neutered domestic shorthair cat presenting with an acute, diffuse, non‐resolving mass‐like lesion affecting the right conjunctiva. Despite an initial conscious snip biopsy result negative for malignancy and contrast‐enhanced computed tomography findings suggestive of sino‐orbital aspergillosis,

Designing Scalable Mechano‐Virucidal Nanostructured Acrylic Surfaces for Enhanced Viral Inactivation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 23, 23 April 2026.
Can a surface be designed to physically break viruses? This study explores how nanoscale geometry—specifically the spacing of tiny pillars—can determine whether viruses remain intact or rupture. Using flexible acrylic and a scalable fabrication process, the authors develop nanopillared, transparent surfaces that show strong antiviral activity without ...
