Recommended recumbency to avoid insertional complications during small-bore wire-guided thoracostomy tube placement in cats—a cadaver study

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Small-bore wire-guided thoracostomy tubes (SBWGTT) are commonly used in cats to manage pleural disease and generally have a low complication rate. Our study aimed to explore the correlation between recumbency of cats, placement method, and the

Translation From Mice to Men: Are Dogs a Dodgy Intermediate? [PDF]

European Medical Journal Hepatology, 2014
Alternatives for liver transplantation in severe liver disease are urgently needed in view of the limited availability of donor livers. The use of embryonic stem cells (ES) or hepatic progenitor cells (HPC) has been investigated in mice models of acute ...

Species variations in tenocytes’ response to inflammation require careful selection of animal models for tendon research

Scientific Reports, 2021
For research on tendon injury, many different animal models are utilized; however, the extent to which these species simulate the clinical condition and disease pathophysiology has not yet been critically evaluated.

Concurrent pituitary and adrenocortical lesions on computed tomography imaging in dogs with spontaneous hypercortisolism

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2019
Background Spontaneous hypercortisolism or Cushing's syndrome in dogs is either pituitary or adrenal dependent, but concurrent pituitary and adrenal hypercortisolism also has been reported.

Case Report: α1-antitrypsin deficiency causing persistent pleural effusion and multilobar alveolar emphysema in a young dog

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD) is a rare genetic condition in both humans and animals, caused by mutations in the SERPINA1 gene that lead to reduced or absent production of alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT).

Collection of cerebrospinal fluid into EDTA versus plain tubes does not affect the standard analysis in dogs

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2019
Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can be collected into ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or plain tubes. The EDTA content presumably contributes to a better cell preservation.

Tongue and Upper Airway Dimensions: A Comparative Study between Three Popular Brachycephalic Breeds

Animals, 2021
Relative macroglossia has been identified in brachycephalic compared to mesaticephalic dogs. This study assessed the tongue volume comparing three common brachycephalic breeds, including 30 French bulldogs, 30 pugs, and 15 English bulldogs.
