ABSTRACT Background and Aims Falls pose a significant public health risk for community‐dwelling stroke survivors. Current research on biomechanical parameters to trip perturbation in standing tasks often fails to predi...

Abstract Animal responses to fear cues are shaped by competing motivations such as hunger, access to mates and safety. In our previous work, wild mice (Apodemus spp.) showed little reaction to non-native predator scents....

Abstract Background Hypercortisolism affects calcium and phosphate metabolism in dogs; however, the exact mechanisms are not completely understood. Objectives To evaluate circulating concentrations of whole parathormone ...

OBJECTIVE: Cardiac autonomic dysfunction (COD) is one of the important factors implicated in the pathogenesis of primary hypertension (HT). Heart rate variability (HRV) measurement has been used widely to determine the C...

Abstract Background Clinical findings of glucocorticoid‐deficient hypoadrenocorticism (GDH) can overlap with other diseases, presenting a diagnostic challenge. Objectives Describe clinicopathologic and ultrasonographic...

Abstract Background Effects of the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors enalapril and telmisartan on circulating RAAS in dogs with proteinuric chronic kidney disease (pCKD) are undescribed. Objectiv...

RationaleInborn errors of immunity (IEIs) predispose individuals to recurrent respiratory infections and immune dysregulation, which together can drive inflammatory lung complications, including interstitial lung disease...

Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) are prevalent chronic joint diseases characterized by persistent inflammation, progressive cartilage degeneration, and impaired tissue repair mechanisms. While i...

Abstract Objective To evaluate whether the circulating level of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase- 4 (TIMP-4) in the period between 20 and 25 weeks of gestation is a predictor of preeclampsia. Methods We have per...

BackgroundInfantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a severe age-specific epileptic encephalopathy with unclear pathogenesis, and neuroinflammation is involved in its progression. The HMGB1-TLR4 signaling pathway, a ...

Background Proliferative urethritis (PU) is a lower urinary tract disease of dogs characterized by frond‐like lesions in the urethra. The etiology of PU is unknown, although an association with bacterial cystitis is re...

Abstract Background Early detection of renal involvement in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is crucial, as functional changes often precede anatomical damage. Current diagnostic standards, such as the measurement of ser...

# Background The countermovement jump (CMJ) is commonly used to assess neuromuscular performance in athletic populations; however, force plate–derived mechanical metrics may not fully reflect central nervous system (CN...

OBJETIVO: avaliar a associação entre a exposição dos genitores aos agrotóxicos e nascimentos com defeitos congênitos no Vale do São Francisco, bem como o perfil sociodemográfico e os defeitos encontrados. MÉTODO...

Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are potential biomarkers for equine sarcoids (ES). Objectives To assess eca‐miR‐331, eca‐miR‐100, and eca‐miR‐1 as serum biomarkers for ES disease. Animals Sixty‐eight...

Abstract Background Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) remains a leading cause of infant mortality worldwide, yet its underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. SIDS etiology is complex and involves the interplay betwee...

Introduction. Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a granulomatous skin disease of still only partially known pathogenesis. Microangiopathy is considered as one of the most important processes in NL, and vascular endothelial ...

Abstract The effects of proteolytic enzymes (bromelain and bromelain+papain) and a ginger extract were assessed on collagen content and solubility, thermal shrinkage temperature of connective tissue, pH, cooking loss, dr...

Abstract Background The last two decades have seen a significant decrease in mortality for children

Abstract Background Ischemic stroke (IS) remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Stroke–heart syndrome, triggered by acute cerebral ischemia, causes autonomic dysfunction that can result in myocardia...

Abstract Background A standardized protocol for electroencephalography (EEG) under standing sedation for the investigation of epilepsy in foals is needed. Hypothesis/Objectives To evaluate a modified standardized EEG pro...

Abstract Introduction Emotional intelligence (EI) is a theoretical construct postulated by Mayer and Salovey to designate the ability to perceive, understand, use and manage emotions. The study of EI in schizophrenia o...

Background Heaves is a severe debilitating condition of horses, characterized by lower airway inflammation and permanent structural changes of the bronchial wall. Chronic inflammation promotes the formation of new vessel...

Expression of dopamine ([DA] D1 and D2) and glutamate ([Glu], (N-methyl-D-aspartic acid [NMDA], α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4- isoxazolepropionic acid [AMPA], and kanaic acid [KA]) receptor types were analyzed autoradiog...
