Background Correct interpretation of blood pressure ( BP ) and heart rate HR recordings is important in a clinical environment, but little known about effects stress on responses dogs to different settings. Objective To investigate settings 3 breeds, relate findings urinary catecholamine concentrations measured by ELISA assays previously validated for use human plasma urine, after validation dogs. Animals Client‐owned healthy dogs; 41 Labrador Retrievers, 33 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels...
Background Measurement of plasma concentration natriuretic peptides ( NP s) is suggested to be value in diagnosis cardiac disease dogs, but many factors other than status may influence their concentrations. Dog breed potentially 1 such factor. Objective To investigate variation concentrations pro‐atrial peptide 31‐67 (pro ANP 31‐67) and N‐terminal B‐type NT ‐pro BNP ) healthy dogs. Animals 535 healthy, privately owned dogs 9 breeds were examined at 5 centers as part the European Union EU...
The aim of this case-control study was to investigate the prevalence microorganisms in group-living cats with clinical signs upper respiratory tract disease (URTD), in-contact and groups without URTD problems. Samples were taken from ventral conjunctival fornix for analysis feline herpesvirus-1 (FHV), Mycoplasma felis Chlamydiaceae using a real-time polymerase chain reaction technique. oropharynx sampled bacteriological culture viral isolation. Specific infectious agents identified 11/20...
Background Cytologic examination of smears prepared from ocular swabs conjunctiva cats with conjunctivitis permits identification the type inflammation and possibly specific microorganisms. Results studies diagnostic utility cytology for detection infectious causes feline have been inconsistent. Objectives The objectives this study were to describe cytologic findings in compare those results PCR analysis herpesvirus ( FHV ‐1), C hlamydophila felis ) , M ycoplasma ). Methods Conjunctival 88...
Serum triglyceride concentrations increase in dogs with obesity, which is typically assessed by body condition score (BCS), however little known about changes that take place non-obese overweight condition. Further, the associations of levels other markers energy homeostasis are poorly characterised healthy animals. The present study aimed to evaluate between both BCS and lipid glucose metabolism healthy, dogs, as well assess whether these change significantly compared their lean...
Since 1985, we have used indwelling catheters (Insuflon, Maersk Medical, Lynge, Denmark; Chronimed, Minnetonka, MN) to lessen pain when injecting insulin. However, some patients experience a rise in blood glucose after using for few days. We therefore studied the absorption of 125I-labeled insulin catheters.Five men and five women participated (age 18-25 years, C-peptide negative, HbA1c 9.0 +/- 1.0% [mean SD, DCA-2000 method], diabetes duration 5-21 [median 9.5] years). After thyroid...
Diabetes mellitus is a serious health problem in both dogs and humans. Certain dog breeds show high prevalence of the disease, whereas other are at low risk. Fructosamine glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) two major biomarkers glycaemia, where serum concentrations reflect glucose turnover over past few weeks to months. In this study, we searched for genetic factors influencing variation fructosamine concentration healthy using data from nine breeds. Considering all together, did not find any...
Background There are breed differences in several blood variables healthy dogs. Objective Investigate variation plasma endothelin‐1 ( ET ‐1) concentration, renin activity, and serum cortisol concentration. Animals Five‐hundred thirty‐one dogs of 9 breeds examined at 5 centers (2–4 breeds/center). Methods Prospective observational study. Circulating concentrations ‐1 cortisol, were measured using commercially available assays. Absence organ‐related or systemic disease was ensured by thorough...
Abstract Background Measured indirect blood pressure (BP) results in cats a clinical environment might be affected by stress and characteristics of the cats. Hypothesis To investigate influence setting, cat characteristics, life situation on BP pulse rate (PR) healthy Animals Ninety‐four Domestic Shorthair, Birman Norwegian Forest Methods Blood measured high‐definition oscillometry 3 settings: placed its own carrier with veterinarian present; owner alone table present. Statistical analyses...
Treatment with glucocorticoids after snakebite in dogs is controversial and randomized clinical studies are missing. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect a single dose prednisolone envenomated by Vipera berus double-blind placebo-controlled study, exclusion treated antivenom. two treatment groups were compared regarding status clinicopathological test results. A total 75 bitten within previous 24 hours included. Clinical assessment, blood sampling measurement body part...
Objectives The aims of the study were to determine heart rate, rhythm, number ventricular premature complexes (VPCs) and atrial (APCs) in unsedated cats with asymptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), using 24 h ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) (Holter) home environment compare results those from healthy control cats. Methods Fifteen privately owned HCM entered study. Data 23 cats, previously published by our group, used as control. Clinical examination, measurement blood pressure,...
OBJECTIVE To determine if the use of indwelling catheters for insulin injections affects long- and short-term metabolic control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Sixteen children adolescents 9–20 years age were included in a randomized 10-week crossover study using (Insuflon, Pharma-Plast, Lynge, Denmark; CHRONIMED, Minnetonka, Minnesota) injections. Their duration was 7.5 ± 3.3 (range 2–14), they used multiple injection therapy with 4–5 doses/day....
Abstract Background Increased plasma concentration of N‐terminal‐prohormone B‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) can be detected in cats with cardiac disease. Potential effects feline characteristics on NT‐proBNP may influence clinical usefulness. Objectives To evaluate potential and to compare concentrations healthy results hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or without left atrial enlargement (LAE) using an ELISA a point‐of‐care test (POCT), assess if POCT reflect results. Animals One...
Background Markers of lipid and glucose metabolism are used in both clinical practice research. Detection abnormal laboratory results often relies on species‐specific reference intervals, but interbreed variation can also affect data interpretation. Objectives The purpose the present study was to compare concentrations selected biochemical variables among different dog breeds. Methods We analyzed a database containing information from 534 dogs belonging nine All were confirmed be healthy...
Abstract Background Enlargement of the prostate is associated with prostatic diseases in dogs, and an estimation size a central part diagnostic workup. Ultrasonography often method choice, but biomarkers constitute alternative. Canine specific esterase (CPSE) shares many characteristics human antigen (PSA) related to size. In men clinical symptoms disease, PSA concentrations are growth. The aims present follow-up study were evaluate if concentration CPSE future growth prostate, analysis...
Bacteria belonging to the family Chlamydiaceae cause a broad spectrum of diseases in wide range hosts, including man, other mammals, and birds. Upper respiratory genital are common clinical problems caused by Chlamydiaceae. Very little is known about chlamydial infections dogs. Few reports on natural disease dogs describe mainly conjunctival upper signs, role unclear. The present study aimed at studying prevalence healthy with or disease, conjunctivitis. A real-time polymerase chain reaction...
Catecholamines can be used to evaluate neuroendocrine tumors, stress, and potentially pain, but catecholamines degrade rapidly. Their metabolites normetanephrine (NME) metanephrine (ME) have better stability in urine. In cats, urine sampling a home environment would beneficial reduce effects of clinical stress simplify sampling. We evaluated human ELISA for analysis NME ME feline urine, investigated the acidification, cat tray pellets, storage time at room temperature up 8.5 h. 26 samples,...
The aims of this study were to assess the potential associations between serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentration in healthy cats and feline characteristics, systolic blood pressure, heart rate (HR), echocardiographic measurements storage time; compare cTnI concentrations with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), or without left atrial enlargement (LAE) HCM, variables.
