The objective of this study was to perform a retrospective analysis of transfusions that were given to dogs in the year 2018 at the Small Animal Clinic of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Ghent University. A total of 87 dogs were included in this study, which together accounted for a total of 140 received transfusions. The number of packed red blood cell transfusions (n = 85) was three times higher than that of fresh frozen plasma (n = 28) ...

Wound infections are a major cause of delayed wound healing in horses. In this study, it was aimed to determine whether a difference in prevalence of bacteria causing wound infections in horses can be demonstrated and whether an evolution in antibiotic resistance can be shown. Two cohorts were compared: period 1 (2009-2010), in which 35 samples from infected wounds were included and period 2 (2019-2020), in which 33 samples were included. The ...

When treating older adults, a main factor to consider is physical frailty. Because specific assessments in clinical trials are frequently lacking, critical appraisal of treatment evidence with respect to functional status is challenging. Our aim was to identify and categorize assessments for functional status given in clinical trials in older adults to allow for a retrospective characterization and indirect comparison of treatment evidence from ...

Nonclinical assays with JNJ-54861911, a beta-secretase 1 inhibitor have indicated that at high concentrations, it may delay cardiac repolarization. A 4-way crossover thorough QT (TQT) study was performed in 64 healthy subjects with 50 and 150 mg JNJ-54861911 once daily for 7 days, placebo, and 400 mg moxifloxacin. Retrospective high-precision QT (HPQT) analysis was performed on serial elecrocardiograms extracted from first-in-human ...

Twenty-three dogs with insulinoma were included in this retrospective study. These tumors were mostly found in middle-aged to old dogs, weighing over 25 kg. The most important symptoms were weakness, seizures and collapse. The mean duration of clinical signs before referral was 5 months. Interestingly, the onset of clinical signs was reported more frequently during the summer months. Paired serum glucose and insulin concentrations were measured ...

In a retrospective study (1997-2007) of 35 patients suspected of discospondylitis (DS), the diagnosis of discospondylitis was confirmed in 18 dogs. The signalment, the appearance and the clinical presentation of the dogs were comparable to those earlier reported in the literature. Radiography was the most important diagnostic technique, but in some cases further diagnostic investigation was necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Blood- and urine ...
