To compare the shock index (SI) in a population of healthy dogs to with confirmed hemorrhagic shock.Retrospective analysis data collected prospectively from 2 previous studies.University teaching hospital.Seventy-eight control enrolled study establish reference interval for tissue oxygen monitor; 38 evaluate monitor shock. The heart rate and systolic blood pressure obtained during respective studies were used calculate SI.None.Shock was significantly higher hemorrhage group (median 1.37,...

Abstract OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence and severity of gastrointestinal mucosal lesions in dogs with intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (IHPSS), to compare IHPSS before after treatment percutaneous transvenous coil embolization (PTCE) based on capsule endoscopy (CE). METHODS A prospective clinical trial was performed from June 1, 2020, March 2022. Ten client-owned diagnosed by use CT angiography were included. Dogs administered a device prior 1 month following PTCE. Outcomes compared...

Revision total knee arthroplasty in patients with rheumatoid arthritis can be challenging. We asked whether we could confirm previously reported high failure rates following revision arthritis. therefore determined the Knee Society score and function scores, radiographic evidence of failure, overall survival procedure these patients. retrospectively reviewed 39 who underwent 45 TKA revisions from 1994 to 2006. Twenty-seven were for mechanical prosthetic components 18 infection. Five 27 knees...

Background Long‐term treatment of cats with ionized hypercalcemia using alendronate has not been evaluated. Hypothesis/Objectives Alendronate is well tolerated in cats. Animals A total 12 hypercalcemia. Methods Prospective study idiopathic origin was identified by telephone and email communication a convenience sample consulting veterinarians. Cats were treated at dose 5–20 mg per feline PO q7d. Serum calcium concentration ( iC a) measured before beginning alendronate, after 1, 3, 6 months...

Abstract Background A nonpedigreed male cat presented with epistaxis, severe bladder hemorrhage, and secondary urethral obstruction after cystocentesis. Objectives To characterize the phenotype of a bleeding diathesis use precision medicine approach to identify molecular genetic defect by whole genome sequencing. Methods Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) arachidonic acid (AA)‐induced blood platelet aggregometry was performed in affected healthy cat. Platelet activation, measured P‐selectin...
