Recommendations for Standards in Transthoracic Two‐Dimensional Echocardiography in the Dog and Cat Tập 7 Số 4 - Trang 247-252 - 1993
William P. Thomas, Cathy E. Gaber, G Jacobs, Paul M. Kaplan, Christophe W. Lombard, Med Vet, N. Sydney Moïse, Bradley L. Moses
Recommendations are presented for standardized imaging planes and display
conventions for two‐dimensional echocardiography in the dog and cat. Three
transducer locations (“windows”) provide access to consistent imaging planes:
the right parasternal location, the left caudal (apical) parasternal location,
and the left cranial parasternal location. Recommendations for image display
orientations are ... hiện toàn bộ
Passive Transfer of Colostral Immunoglobulins in Calves Tập 14 Số 6 - Trang 569-577 - 2000
Dusty M. Weaver, Jeff W. Tyler, David C. VanMetre, Douglas E. Hostetler, George M. Barrington
Passive transfer of colostral immunoglobulins has long been accepted as
imperative to optimal calf health. Many factors, including timing of colostrum
ingestion, the method and volume of colostrum administration, the immunoglobulin
concentration of the colostrum ingested, and the age of the dam have been
implicated in affecting the optimization of absorption. The practice of
colostrum pooling, the... hiện toàn bộ

Consensus Statements of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine
(ACVIM) provide veterinarians with guidelines regarding the pathophysiology,
diagnosis, or treatment of animal diseases. The foundation of the Consensus
Statement is evidence‐based medicine, but if such evidence is conflicting or
lacking, the panel provides interpretive recommendations on the basis of their

AbstractThis report, issued by the ACVIM Specialty of Cardiology consensus
panel, revises guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of myxomatous mitral
valve disease (MMVD, also known as endocardiosis and degenerative or chronic
valvular heart disease) in dogs, originally published in 2009. Updates were made
to diagnostic, as well as medical, surgical, and dietary treatment
recommendations. The ... hiện toàn bộ
Chronic Enteropathies in Dogs: Evaluation of Risk Factors for Negative Outcome Tập 21 Số 4 - Trang 700-708 - 2007
Karin Allenspach, Barbara Wieland, Andrea Gröne, Frédéric Gaschen
Hypothesis: Certain variables that are routinely measured during the diagnostic
evaluation of dogs with chronic enteropathies will be predictive for outcome and
a new clinical disease activity index incorporating these variables can be
applied to predict outcome of disease.Animals: Seventy dogs were entered into a
sequential treatment trial with elimination diet (FR, food‐responsive group)

A Scoring Index for Disease Activity in Canine Inflammatory Bowel Disease Tập 17 Số 3 - Trang 291-297 - 2003
Albert E. Jergens, Ceinwen A. Schreiner, Dagmar E. Frank, Yosiya Niyo, Franklin E. Ahrens, P.D. Eckersall, Tammy J. Benson, Richard B. Evans
The clinical course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in dogs is characterized
by spontaneous exacerbations and remissions, which makes assessment of disease
burden difficult. The objectives of this study were to develop a scoring system
for evaluation of canine IBD activity and to validate this scoring method by
correlating it to objective laboratory and histologic indices of intestinal
inflamm... hiện toàn bộ

Background: The occurrence of spontaneous tumors in pet animals has been
estimated in a few European and North American veterinary cancer registries with
dissimilar methodologies and variable reference populations.Objectives: The
Animal Tumor Registry (ATR) of Genoa, Italy, was established in 1985 with the
aim of estimating the occurrence of spontaneous tumors in dogs.Methods: Six

Acute Stress Hyperglycemia in Cats Is Associated with Struggling and Increased Concentrations of Lactate and Norepinephrine Tập 16 Số 2 - Trang 123-132 - 2002

We characterized the changes in blood glucose concentrations in healthy cats
exposed to a short stressor and determined the associations between glucose
concentrations, behavioral indicators of stress, and blood variables implicated
in stress hyperglycemia (plasma glucose, lactate, insulin, glucagon, cortisol,
epinephrine, and norepinephrine concentrations). Twenty healthy adult cats with
