Evaluation of renal perfusion in hyperthyroid cats before and after radioiodine treatment [PDF]
Background: Hyperthyroidism and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common in elderly cats. Consequently, both diseases often occur concurrently. Furthermore, renal function is affected by thyroid status. Because changes in renal perfusion play an important

Use of sugammadex in patients with neuromuscular disorders: a systematic review of case reports
Background Sugammadex is a modified gamma-cyclodextrin that acts by selectively encapsulating free amino-steroidal neuromuscular relaxants. Several case reports have been published on the use of sugammadex in patients with neuromuscular disorders that ...
