Contribution of Sympathetic Sensory Coupling to Craniofacial Nociception
ABSTRACT Stress and anxiety are associated with increased pain intensity in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) patients. It is possible that this association is due to a direct interaction between the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. This narrative review examines evidence for a potential sympathetic sensory interaction in deep craniofacial ...

Abstract Ageing is a risk factor for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. The myogenic response in resistance arteries is responsible for basal (myogenic) tone and blood flow autoregulation. G‐protein‐coupled receptors and G12/RhoA/Rho kinase are implicated in myogenic tone (MT), and we aimed to clarify their role in pressure sensing and ...

Presentation, diagnosis and treatment of a prostatic abscess in an adult, male, neutered cat
Abstract A 6‐year‐old, male, neutered Maine Coon cat presented with a 1‐week history of hyporexia, stranguria, pollakiuria and dysuria. Investigations, including abdominal ultrasound, positive contrast retrograde urethrocystogram and cytology of the prostate, were most consistent with a prostatic abscess.

Imaging findings and clinical outcome in three cats with possible inflammatory ureteritis
Abstract Three adult cats presented to our institution for evaluation of non‐specific clinical signs and azotaemia. All cats had sonographic evidence of renal pelvic and ureteral dilation, concerning for a ureteral obstruction without a definitive mechanical cause identified. Anti‐inflammatory doses of corticosteroids were administered over an extended
