Elemental Composition Analysis of Sheep Tears Using Particle‐Induced X‐Ray Emission

open access: yesVeterinary Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify the elemental composition of ovine tears using particle‐induced X‐ray emission (PIXE). Animals Studied Ten physically healthy female sheep. Procedures Tear samples were collected using Schirmer tear test strips. Tear samples were collected once daily over five consecutive days to assess reproducibility. Elemental analysis

Evaluation of Refractive Measurements Using a Handheld Autorefractor (Retinomax K+ Screen) Versus Streak Retinoscopy in Dogs

open access: yesVeterinary Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the accuracy and clinical applicability of the handheld autorefractor Retinomax K+ Screen in comparison to manual streak retinoscopy in non‐cyclopleged dogs. Methods Thirty‐four dogs (68 eyes) of 15 different breeds underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examination and refractive assessment using streak retinoscopy and ...

Dexmedetomidine Prolongs the Duration of Ropivacaine Corneal Anesthesia After Subconjunctival Injection in Healthy Horses

open access: yesVeterinary Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine whether dexmedetomidine prolongs corneal anesthesia following subconjunctival ropivacaine injection in healthy equine eyes. Methods Ten horses with normal ophthalmic exams were enrolled in a randomized, blinded, crossover experiment with a minimum 4‐week washout between treatments. Baseline corneal touch thresholds (CTT,

Cardioprotection via vagus nerve stimulation preconditioning: Reducing ischaemia–reperfusion injury and arrhythmic risk

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Acute myocardial infarction is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, with ischaemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury exacerbating myocardial damage. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been reported to exert cardioprotective effects, but its efficacy in preconditioning against I/R injury requires further investigation.

Exercise intensity‐dependent cardiac telocyte expansion is associated with physiological growth despite JAK/STAT pathway inactivity in male Wistar rats

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract While exercise induces physiological cardiac growth, the underlying cellular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study investigated the role of cardiac telocytes (TCs) and the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway in mediating exercise intensity‐dependent cardiac adaptation.

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia–linked ryanodine receptor variants exhibit domain‐specific calcium leak and calmodulin affinity properties

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) variants in N terminal (NTD) and central domain (CD) but not pore domain induce a pathological RyR2 conformational shift upon protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation, similar to that seen in heart failure (HF), calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII ...
