The comparison of acute phase proteins in experimentally induced canine acute pancreatitis [PDF]
Background Acute pancreatitis triggers the production of acute-phase proteins (APPs) in the body, among which C-reactive protein (CRP) is the most extensively studied and widely used for both diagnosis and prognosis. The diagnostic value of other APPs is

Flow-controlled ventilation maintains gas exchange and lung aeration in a pediatric model of healthy and injured lungs: A randomized cross-over experimental study [PDF]
Flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) is characterized by a constant flow to generate active inspiration and expiration. While the benefit of FCV on gas exchange has been demonstrated in preclinical and clinical studies with adults, the value of this ...

Establishment of a reference interval for urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio in dogs. [PDF]
Abstract Background Albuminuria is an important marker of renal damage and can precede proteinuria; thus, it can be a useful analyte in the early diagnosis of kidney diseases. Albuminuria has also been found in dogs with hypertension, inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic diseases.
