Abstract Background Idiopathic functional urinary outflow tract obstruction (iFUOTO) is an uncommon but life‐limiting disease whose etiology and clinical course of disease remain poorly understood. Objective Characteri...

Abstract Background Suspected immune‐mediated polyneuropathy has been increasingly reported in cats, especially in the last decade, but the condition remains poorly understood. Objectives Refine the clinical descriptio...

Abstract Background Estrogen modulates the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system (RAAS) in women, but sex differences have not been fully explored in dogs. Objective We hypothesized that the RAAS profile of intact fem...

Abstract Background Holter electrocardiographic monitoring is a cornerstone of diagnostic testing for arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) in Boxer dogs, but physical activity during monitoring is not controlled. In human...

Abstract Background Interventional radiology (IR) and interventional endoscopy (IE) have broad potential for minimally invasive therapy in veterinary patients, but the scope of original peer‐reviewed veterinary IR/IE r...

Abstract Background Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is an emerging treatment for sinonasal tumors in dogs. Reported results regarding tumor control and incidence of acute and late radiation morbidities are inconsistent. ...

Elucidation of the cellular functions of RNAs represents one of the most exciting research areas in modern life sciences. RNAs play crucial roles in plant biology, including developmental regulation and environmental res...

The goal of this work is to search for Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the Galactic disc at very low latitudes with |b| < 2◦. For this, we studied the five sources from the VVV near-infrared (IR) galaxy catalogue that ...

Abstract Background Contemporary data reflecting local pathogens and their antibiograms is necessary to select empirical antimicrobial therapy for equine neonates. Hypothesis/Objectives Describe bacterial isolates associ...

Abstract Background Continuous glucose monitoring systems have been validated for eu‐ and hyperglycemic cats. The FreeStyle Libre 2 (FSL2) is sufficiently accurate in people during hypoglycemia to guide critical treatm...

Abstract Background Bacterial sepsis is the leading cause of death in foals and is associated with hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenocortical axis (HPAA) dysfunction. HPAA function can be evaluated by an arginine‐vasopr...

Abstract Background The effect of clinical history on the interpretation of radiographs has been widely researched in human medicine. There is, however, no data on this topic in veterinary medicine. Hypothesis/Objectives...

Abstract Background Serum folate is considered a biomarker of chronic enteropathy (CE) in dogs, but few studies have examined associations with markers of CE. Hypothesis/Objectives To evaluate serum folate concentrations...

Abstract Background Limited information is available regarding the outcome of medical management (MM) of benign ureteral obstruction in cats (BUO). Hypothesis Describe clinical characteristics and outcome of MM of BUO. A...

Abstract Background Laboratory results are influenced by presence and severity of disease, as well as preanalytical factors, analytical variation, and biological variation. Biological variation data for urinary protein: ...

Abstract Background Guidelines‐driven screening protocols for early cancer detection in dogs are lacking, and cancer often is detected at advanced stages. Hypothesis/Objectives To examine how cancer typically is detect...

Abstract Background Intestinal fibrosis (IF) is commonly identified on histopathology of intestinal biopsy specimens (IBSp) from cats with chronic inflammatory enteropathy (CIE) however, its clinical relevance is unknown...

Abstract Background Primary hypoadrenocorticism (PH) is rare in cats and knowledge about treatment is sparse. Objective To describe cats with PH with a focus on long‐term treatment. Animals Eleven cats with naturally o...

Abstract Background Limited recent data exists regarding discospondylitis in dogs. Hypothesis/Objectives (i) Describe the signalment, clinical and imaging findings, etiologic agents, treatment, and outcome of dogs with d...

Abstract Background Gastric impactions (GI) have been identified as primary lesions (lone GI; LGI) or associated with other intestinal lesions (concurrent GI; CGI). Anecdotally, CGI resolve more rapidly with a better pr...

Abstract Background A panel of IgA‐based serologic assays might aid in the diagnosis of chronic enteropathy (CE) in dogs, a syndrome encompassing conditions such as food‐responsive enteropathy, immunosuppressant‐re...

Abstract Background Urinalysis is necessary for the diagnostic evaluation of chronic kidney disease in cats. Performing cystocentesis is not always feasible, but data comparing urine obtained by cystocentesis in the clin...

Abstract A 26‐year‐old mule gelding was evaluated for chronic weight loss and decreased appetite. The mule had been losing weight and intermittently hypophagic for approximately 7 months. Laboratory analysis of who...

Abstract Background Circulating creatinine and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) are biomarkers of kidney function that have been used variously to define stable vs progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD). Slope monitor...
