    Study Notes

    Respiratory Tract and Cytology

    • Tracheobronchial brush cytology can identify inflammation, but not its type
    • Study on dogs with E. ewingii infection showed persistence of infection up to 733 days

    Gastrointestinal System

    • Omeprazole alone or with famotidine showed no difference in gastric pH >3 or >4
    • Hydrolyzed diet with or without Fortiflora did not show significant differences in clinical signs or histologic scores
    • Dogs with DMVD and moderate PTHN had negative prognostic indicators
    • Boxers with decreased TAPSE (< 15.1 mm) had shorter cardiac survival time

    Endocrinology

    • Urinary metanephrine and normetanephrine to creatinine ratios were higher in dogs with pheochromocytoma
    • Plasma metanephrine and normetanephrine concentrations were higher in dogs with pheochromocytoma
    • Urine normetanephrine: Cr ratio had highest sensitivity for diagnosis
    • Hypernatremia in cats and dogs: 5% of dogs and 8% of cats presented with hypernatremia, with high mortality rates
    • Hyponatremia: 25% of dogs and 50% of cats presented with hyponatremia, with moderate mortality rates

    Oncology

    • Histiocytic sarcoma with CNS involvement: Pembroke Welsh Corgi was overrepresented, with MST of 3 days
    • Gemcitabine is an antimetabolite that disrupts the S phase of the cell cycle, with neutropenia as the dose-limiting toxicity
    • Compounded amlodipine had a response rate of 63%, decreasing blood pressure from 181 mmHg to 154 mmHg
    • Intraarterial carboplatin had a higher response rate (36%) compared to intravenous administration (13%) for TCC treatment
    • Pasireotide, a somatostatin analogue, decreased IGF-1 concentrations in acromegalic cats

    Neurology

    • Ranitidine was not effective in raising gastric pH in cats
    • Free T4 by ED did not identify more cats with hypothyroidism than TT4
    • TSH is useful for diagnosing iatrogenic hypothyroidism in cats
    • Phosphatidylserine positive microparticles were not higher in dogs with IMHA compared to controls

    Hematology

    • UPC was higher in hospital settings compared to home environment
    • Dogs with acute liver failure had variable TEG findings, with most being hypocoagulable or normocoagulable

    Cardiology

    • Echo findings that may increase the index of suspicion for PHTN in dogs with DMVD include increased RVIDDn, increased LA:Ao, and decreased pulmonary artery acceleration to deceleration ratio
    • Innocent murmurs in puppies may be related to physiologic anemia

    Other

    • Feeding an iodine-restricted diet resulted in T4 within normal range in 42% of cats at 21-60 days and 83% of cats at 61-180 days
    • Pasireotide, a somatostatin analogue, resulted in decreased IGF-1 concentrations in acromegalic cats
    • Electroporation + bleomycin improved response rates in cats with periocular carcinoma and advanced SCC
    • Blood donor dogs who donate repeatedly have lower reticulocyte volume and lower reticulocyte hemoglobin content
    • Risk factors for GBM development include being treated for hypothyroidism, hyperadrenocorticism, and Shelties receiving imidacloprid
