Description:

Reference intervals for blood parameters in Shetland SheepdogsSeveral breeds have physiological peculiarities that induce variations in reference intervals (RIs) compared with the general canine population. Shetland sheepdogs (SSs) are reported to be more predisposed to different diseases (eg, hyperlipidemia, gallbladder mucocele, and hypothyroidism). Consequently, a breed‐specific approach is more often required. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine whether the RIs of the general canine population could be applied to that of SSs, and to generate breed‐specific RIs, where appropriate.Pasteurella multocida diversity in poultry and pigs in AustraliaThis recently published study investigates the genotype and diversity of Pasteurella multocida present in pig herds and determines the extent of overlap with isolates from poultry flocks in Australia. Do the isolates vary? A very interesting study not only for Australia.Theiler´s disease in a Trakehner caused by contaminated tetanus vaccineAn 11‐year‐old Trakehner gelding was presented for evaluation of lethargy, decreased appetite, mild icterus, and elevated hepatic enzyme activities. Physical examination, serum chemistry results, and liver biopsy histopathologic findings were supportive of Theiler`s disease. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing results of serum and liver tissue were positive for nonprimate (equine) hepacivirus (NPHV) and a novel equine parvovirus‐hepatitis virus (EqPV‐H). A serious and finally fatal problem, caused by contaminated vaccine.Punica granatum associated with hepatotoxicosis in cattleThe ingestion of pomegranates was associated with the deaths of 9 of 35 young cattle; 8 were found dead without any prior clinical signs being noted and 1 animal was observed to be weak with pale‐pink mucous membranes. This case report describes also gross pathological and histopathological signs of the affected cattle and discusses the question which toxic principle was underlying in this case.Toceranib phosphate (Palladia®) in canine gastrointestinal stromal tumorsGastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are uncommon intestinal neoplasms in the dog. Literature regarding adjunctive therapy for GISTs in dogs is sparse. High‐risk GISTs in humans respond to tyrosine kinase inhibition in the adjuvant setting. This recently online published study reviews cases of toceranib phosphate use in dogs with GISTs and provides initial assessment of possible biological activity. A secondary aim was to evaluate patient and tumor characteristics for possible prognostic value.Radioactive iodine uptake in hyperthyroid cats after rh-TSHRadioactive iodine therapy is considered the treatment of choice for hyperthyroidism in cats, but the availability of this modality is limited by costs and hospitalization requirements. Administration of recombinant human thyroid stimulating hormone (rh‐TSH) to humans with thyroid neoplasia or nodular goiter can increase thyroidal iodine uptake, thereby allowing the use of lower radioactive iodine doses for treatment. Veterinary studies of this subject are limited, and results are conflicting. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of rh‐TSH administration on thyroidal iodine uptake in hyperthyroid cats.Hypoechoic tissue changes in dogs with malignant prostatic lymphomaNeoplasia of the prostate is relatively uncommon in dogs with adenocarcinoma being the most common type. Non‐epithelial tumors are rare and only individual cases of malignant lymphoma affecting the prostate have been reported. The purpose of this multi‐institutional, retrospective, descriptive study was to characterize the ultrasonographic features of canine prostatic lymphoma. Inclusion criteria were an abdominal ultrasound and cytological/histological diagnosis of malignant prostatic lymphoma. Emphysematous gastritis in dogs and catsGastric pneumatosis is an imaging finding defined as the presence of gas foci in the gastric wall. In humans, this imaging feature can result from one of two separate clinical entities: life‐threatening emphysematous gastritis or clinically benign gastric emphysema. This retrospective case series study describes the clinical and imaging features in five animals diagnosed with spontaneous gastric pneumatosis without gastric dilatation‐volvulus. Primary pulmonary histiocytic sarcoma in dogsPrimary pulmonary histiocytic sarcoma (PHS) has been reported, but is not well characterized. The aim of this retrospective study was to describe clinical characteristics, characterize prognostic factors and report the outcome of a larger group of dogs with primary PHS. It took 11 institutions and 15 years to collect the 37 patients with this rare tumor disease - a very interesting article!BOVINEThe myostatin gene and its relevance to livestock animalsImmune modulators and proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in cows peripartumMilk/plasma ratio and milk and plasma pharmacokinetics of amoxicillin in lactating cowsNeuromuscular block monitoring after cis-atracurium in the anaesthetized pigGrowth factor expression in cows with cystic ovarian diseaseProtecting protein to reduce methane production in ruminantsLifetime prognosis in cattle with necrotic laryngitisECG findings in neonatal calves with diarrhea and associated potassium balance disordersEQUINELimbal squamous cell carcinoma in a Rocky Mountain Horse and geneticsSubconjunctival bupivacaine, lidocaine, and mepivacaine and the corneal sensitivity in horsesClodronate in horses with lamenessValacyclovir in horses with equine multinodular pulmonary fibrosisRadiculopathy associated with forelimb lameness in horsesBiological variations of routine blood parameters in horsesPrognosis for horses with deep digital flexor tendon injury after penetrating woundPossible maternal effect for the pace trait of horsesSMALL ANIMAL PRACTICEDetermining prognosis in canine sepsis Correlation of plasma and tear glucose, creatinine and urea nitrogen in catsPerineal hernias in dogs - always a bilateral problem?Pharmacokinetic of gabapentin in catsFollicular development of canine ovaries stimulated by eCG plus hCGGastrointestinal effects following acupuncture in healthy dogsBilateral repair of apparently unilateral perineal hernias in dogsRetinal morphology of canine sudden acquired retinal degeneration syndromeSWINE PRACTICEEnrofloxacin and the porcine liverOutbreak of PEDV in ItalyActinobacillus rossii as cause of abortion in a piglet Association between genome and aggression in group-housed pigsOral fluid and plasma oxytetracycline concentrations after intramuscular administration in pigsPharmacokinetics and behavioral effects of a liquid transdermal fentanyl solution in pigsBeta hydroxy beta methyl butyrate and the muscle fibre composition in growing pigsL-carnitine as a feed additive in pigs and poultryARTICLESAcyclovir and Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 multiplication in vitroA novel herpesvirus associated with serious eye problems in a great horned owlCerebrospinal Nematodiasis in CamelidsPeel meals as feed ingredients in poultry dietsMycobacteria in aquarium fishGiardia duodenalis in primatesArchitecture of extraocular muscles in hawks and owlsLeishmania spp. in Bats from an Area Endemic for Visceral LeishmaniasisArchiveThe Weather inStudy for an academic degree in your chosen discipline: go for the European Master Program!The following Master degrees are currently offered: Internal MedicineSurgeryDermatologyOphthalmologyDentistry CardiologyNeurologyOncology Diagnostic ImagingFeline Medicine And SurgeryEuropean Master of Small Animal Veterinary Medicine
