O bjective : To determine response to treatment, survival and prognostic factors for feline extranodal lymphoma in the UK. M ethods Records of cats diagnosed with sites at seven referral centres were reviewed information on signalment, tumour location, prior treatment chemotherapy protocol recorded. Factors influencing assessed. R esults One hundred forty‐nine cases met inclusion criteria. Sixty‐nine had nasal lymphoma, 35 renal, 15 central nervous system, 11 laryngeal 19 miscellaneous...
Practical relevance: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common endocrinopathy in cats that appears to be increasing prevalence. The prognosis for affected can good when the disease well managed, but clinical management presents challenges, both veterinary team and owner. These ISFM Guidelines have been developed by an independent, international expert panel of clinicians academics provide practical advice on routine (uncomplicated) diabetic cats. Clinical challenges: Although diagnosis diabetes...
Practical relevance: Feline hypertension is a common disease in older cats that frequently diagnosed association with other diseases such as chronic kidney and hyperthyroidism (so-called secondary hypertension), although some cases of apparent primary are also reported. The clinical consequences can be severe, related to ‘target organ damage’ (eye, heart vasculature, brain kidneys), early diagnosis followed by appropriate therapeutic management should help reduce the morbidity associated...
Practical relevance: Increases in cat ownership worldwide mean more cats are requiring veterinary care. Illness, trauma and surgery can result acute pain, effective management of pain is required for optimal feline welfare (ie, physical health mental wellbeing). Validated assessment tools available plans the individual patient should incorporate pharmacological non-pharmacological therapy. Preventive multimodal analgesia, including local anaesthesia, important principles management, choice...
Practical relevance: The ‘2022 AAFP/ISFM Cat Friendly Veterinary Interaction Guidelines: Approach and Handling Techniques’ (hereafter the ‘Cat Guidelines’) support veterinary professionals with feline interactions handling to reduce impact of fear other protective (negative) emotions, in so doing enhancing welfare In implementing these Guidelines, team satisfaction cat caregiver confidence will increase as result efficient examinations, better experience, more reliable diagnostic testing...
Practical relevance: The ‘2022 ISFM/AAFP Cat Friendly Veterinary Environment Guidelines’ (hereafter the ‘Cat Guidelines’) describe how veterinary clinic environment can be manipulated to minimise feline patient distress. Many components of a visit or stay may result in negative experiences for cats. However, much done improve cat’s experience by making more cat friendly. Exposure other cats and species reduced, adjustments made with consideration senses species-specific behaviour. Caregivers...
Objectives Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a serious disease that arises due to feline coronavirus infection. The nucleoside analogues remdesivir and GS-441524 can be effective in its treatment, but most studies have used unregulated products of unknown composition. aim the present study was describe treatment FIP using legally sourced veterinary-prescribed regulated veterinary compounded containing known amounts (injectable) or (oral tablets). Methods Cats were recruited via email...
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used and effective for the management of pain in cats. These Guidelines will support veterinarians decision-making around prescribing NSAIDs situations chronic pain, to minimise adverse effects optimise management. Information is provided on mechanism action, indications use, screening prior prescription, use presence comorbidities, monitoring efficacy, avoidance effects.
In the investigations of dogs with chronic small intestinal diarrhea collection ileal biopsies lengthens procedural time and has been uncertain value.To evaluate whether there was agreement between histologic changes present in samples duodenal mucosa, hence to provide initial information process determining is clinically justified.40 large from which endoscopic (in 30 cases) or surgical 10 had collected.Samples were reviewed concurrently by two observers (MJD MDW) using scoring system...
Historically, feline mediastinal lymphoma has been associated with young age, positive leukaemia virus (FeLV) status, Siamese breed and short survival times. Recent studies following widespread FeLV vaccination in the UK are lacking. The aim of this retrospective multi-institutional study was to re-evaluate signalment, retroviral response chemotherapy, prognostic indicators cases post-vaccination era. Records cats clinical signs a mass cytologically/histologically confirmed were reviewed...
The aim of this study was to use an online survey obtain information from cat owners about their experiences medicating cats.
All serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) results obtained between 2002 and 2009 from clinical cases presented to the University of Bristol Feline Centre were examined retrospectively. One hundred fifty-five met inclusion criteria. Signalment final diagnoses case records. Clinical classified as having normal or abnormal SPE by comparison reference intervals for created using 77 clinically cats. Abnormal then further divided according specific abnormality. Cases also categorised, diagnosis,...
Practical relevance: Blood and blood products are increasingly available for practitioners to use in the management of haematological conditions, can be lifesaving therapeutically useful patients with anaemia and/or coagulopathies. It is important feline healthcare that donors selected appropriately, transfusions or given recipients will benefit from them. Complications occur, but largely avoided careful donor recipient selection, understanding type compatibility, transfusion monitoring....
Practical relevance: Inappetence may have many origins and, as a presenting sign or observation in the hospitalised patient, is common feline practice. Nutritional assessment of every patient encouraged, to identify need for, and appropriate type of, intervention indicated. The impact malnutrition be significant on perpetuating illness, delaying recovery, slowing wound healing negatively impacting gut health immunity. Delayed result cat’s deterioration; hence prompt control contributing...
Donation after Circulatory Death (DCD) is an alternative to Brain death (DBD), and a growing strategy for organ procurement in the United States(US). The purpose of this analysis was review number quality hearts one Network Organ Sharing (UNOS) Region that were not utilized as potential consequence nonheart DCD donation. We retrospectively identified all successful US solid donors from 1/2011 3/1/2017, defined ideal heart donor by age left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), then reviewed...
The aim of this retrospective study was to review the medical records cats referred University Bristol for investigation laryngeal disease (n=35). Cases were categorised into one four groups: with paralysis (LP, n=14), neoplasia (n=10), inflammation (n=6), or miscellaneous diseases (n=5). Laryngoscopy and echolaryngography useful diagnostic techniques but histology required diagnosis other than LP. Two lymphoma received chemotherapy achieving survival times 60 1440 days. Four LP treated...
Reference intervals for serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) were created from a group of 75 clinically healthy dogs and compared with SPE results obtained clinical cases presented to the University Bristol over an eight-and-a-half-year period. A total 147 dogs, in which had been performed, complete case records available thus met inclusion criteria. Signalment final diagnoses taken divided into normal abnormal based on newly established reference intervals. Cases grouped according fraction...
This study examined the impact of caffeine ingestion on field hockey skill performance following high-intensity fatigue. Thirteen male players (mean age = 21.1 ± 1.2 years) performed sprint dribble and ball handling tests at rest after a bout total body fatigue (90% maximal capacity) (5mg kg−1) or placebo ingestion. Sprint times were slower postfatigue compared with but significantly faster (P < 0.01). Ball scores higher postfatigue, than Rating perceived exhaustion (RPE) was lower 0.01)...
Abstract Background Total serum bilirubin concentration (TBIL) can provide useful information on several pathophysiological conditions in cats. Nevertheless, whether the variable severity classification of hyperbilirubinemia reliably indicate certain disease processes or predict a biliary obstruction (BO) has not been investigated. Hypothesis/Objective Determine if assist clinicians to identify BO, which often is considered surgical emergency. Animals Two‐hundred sixteen client‐owned Methods...
The thymidine kinases are enzymes that convert deoxythymidine to monophosphate and have a function in DNA synthesis. Rapidly proliferating cells will higher levels of kinase.
