Amylin analogues as a novel perspective in anti‐obesity therapy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Public health systems face a major challenge because of the worldwide obesity epidemic. The number of obese individuals has increased dramatically and, even in Switzerland which may be considered a relatively “lean” country, the numbers are alarmingly high and have reached almost 50% of the adult population.

A unified formulation for home healthcare routing and scheduling problems

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Home Healthcare is an essential component of healthcare systems, where caregivers visit patients' homes to deliver services. While presenting advantages with respect to institutional care, such as being cost‐effective and alleviating family burdens, it presents challenges in scheduling and routing caregivers efficiently.

The raphe nuclear organization and serotonergic system in the bat (Artibeus planirostris)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the methodological workflow used to characterize the serotonergic (5‐HT) system in the bat Artibeus planirostris. Serotonin (5‐HT) immunohistochemistry was performed on brainstem sections to identify and map the distribution of serotonergic neurons within the raphe nuclei.

Updating the forelimb anatomy of the domestic cat (Felis catus, Felidae) based on evolutionary inferences of its muscles and nerves I: Shoulder and brachium

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study, we provide a detailed description of the shoulder and brachium muscles and the brachial plexus of the domestic cat (Felis catus). We identified muscular variants (articularis humeri, coracobrachialis longus, biceps brachii caput breve), clarified the independence of the anconeus medialis muscle from the triceps brachii muscle, and ...

Effect of Two Therapeutic Renal Diets on Hormonal and Regulatory Pathways Affecting Calcium Homeostasis in Cats With Early‐Stage Chronic Kidney Disease

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a known risk factor for hypercalcemia in cats. Phosphate‐restricted diets have also been implicated in causing hypercalcemia, in part because phosphate restriction increases the Ca:P ratio. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of two different therapeutic renal foods on ionized (iCa ...

Acceptance and Preference of a Commercial Dry Renal Diet in Healthy Cats: An In‐Home Proof‐of‐Concept Trial

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cats diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have shown a better prognosis when consuming an appropriate renal diet, which makes its palatability a key factor in ensuring proper compliance. A proof‐of‐concept trial with a commercial dry renal diet was conducted in 33 healthy cats to assess its palatability over three consecutive 6‐day ...

Analysis of Essential Minerals and Heavy Metals in Canine and Feline Dietary Supplements Marketed in the United States

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heavy metals have been documented in dietary supplements for people and animals. Cadmium, selenium, lead, and mercury are of particular concern. Our objective was to determine the concentrations of five essential minerals and 12 heavy metals in 70 canine and feline dietary supplements, and to evaluate potential toxicity risks.

Assessment of Cannabidiol Supplements Use in Small Animals Practice in Portugal

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess the current use of cannabidiol supplements (CBDS) by Portuguese small animal veterinary practitioners. An anonymous online survey questioning the frequency of CBDS use, purpose of use and the perceived outcome was developed using Microsoft Forms, and targeted veterinarians currently working in small animal clinics in
