Computed Tomographic Grading of Ear Diseases in Guinea Pigs (Cavia porcellus)

Veterinary Radiology &Ultrasound, Volume 67, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Ear disease affecting the external and middle ears is a significant health concern in guinea pigs, which can be clinically silent and, if left untreated, can lead to severe and irreversible complications.

Altered Auditory Maturation in Fragile X Syndrome and Its Involvement in Audiogenic Seizure Susceptibility

Autism Research, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Auditory hypersensitivity is a prominent symptom in Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most prevalent monogenic cause of autism and intellectual disability. FXS arises through the loss of the protein encoded by the FMR1 (Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein 1) gene, FMRP, required for normal neural circuit excitability.

The Inhibitory Effects of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles on Clinical Isolates of Malassezia in Dogs

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Zinc oxide nanoparticles inhibit the growth and virulence of Malassezia pachydermatis clinical isolates from dogs. ZnO NPs exhibit potent fungicidal activity at low concentrations (MIC 3.90–7.81 ppm) and significantly downregulate the expression of Phospholipase A2 and Aspartyl proteinase genes, key virulence factors. This demonstrates the potential of
