A Retrospective Study of Adult and Pediatric D‐Dimer Tests to Identify Opportunities for Improved Utilization

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction D‐dimers are produced by lysis of cross‐linked fibrin. In children, D‐dimer testing is used to evaluate disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and some inflammatory states, but its use is not validated for screening or ruling out suspected venous thromboembolic events (VTE).

Effect of novel metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonist on gastroesophageal reflux in dogs during anaesthesia

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives Gastroesophageal reflux during anaesthesia is a common event occurring in dogs with the potential to cause oesophageal injury and aspiration pneumonia. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effect of the novel metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonist TT001 on gastroesophageal reflux during anaesthesia in dogs using two ...

Preparo da veia safena na cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica: uma nova técnica -no touch- que mantém a parede da veia íntegra e proporciona uma alta perviabilidade imediata [PDF]

, 2003
BACKGROUND: The technique of harvesting the saphenous vein (SV) for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) influences the fate of vein grafts. A new no touch (NT) technique of SV preparation was developed where the vein is harvested with a pedicle of ...

Disintegrin‐Like and Metalloprotease With Thrombospondin Type 1 Repeat Motifs 13 (ADAMTS13) Activity in 40 Healthy Dogs

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In humans, deficiency of a disintegrin‐like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motifs, number 13 (ADAMTS13), a von Willebrand factor (vWF) cleaving protease, is an underlying mechanism for thrombosis. The role of ADAMTS13 in canine thromboembolic disease is largely unknown.

Analytical Validation of a Novel Point‐Of‐Care Quantitative Immunoassay for Feline N‐Terminal Pro‐Brain Natriuretic Peptide

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Point‐of‐care testing (POC) is widely utilized for rapid results for many different analytes. A new feline‐specific N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) quantitative assay (Vcheck V200, Bionote Inc) is currently available but has not undergone independent validation.

Comparison of Different Sampling Methods on Viscoelastic Test Results Using a Point‐of‐Care Coagulation Monitor in Healthy Dogs

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Backgrounds Studies investigating the influence of sampling methods on point‐of‐care viscoelastic test (VCM Vet) results are limited. Objectives Investigating the impact of blood sampling methods on VCM Vet results in dogs, and determining if results are affected by hematological parameters, and blood sampling difficulty.
