Q

CT angiographic changes in dogs with acute pancreatitis: A prospective longitudinal study Vet Rad/ultraso 2020 French

A

The only statistically significant difference between the initial and repeat CTA examinations was the improvement of fat stranding on the repeat CTA examinations.
CTA performed at the time of admission is likely adequate in the diagnosis and evaluation of dogs with acute pancreatitis. Repeat CTA examinations are unlikely to add additional information in the absence of worsening clinical signs.

Q

Evaluation of diagnostic and prognostic usefulness of abdominal ultrasonography in dogs with clinical signs of acute pancreatitis JAVMA 2021 Gori

A

repeated AUS examinations during hospitalization should be performed, severe findings on the AUS severity index may indicate an increased risk of death, and serum cPL concentrations may increase earlier than findings on AUS of AP.

Q

Prognostic markers and assessment of a previously published clinical severity index in 109 hospitalised dogs with acute presentation of pancreatitis Vet Rec 2020 Kuzi

A

A CSI based on an ‘organ score’ included nine categories,of which cardiac-related signs, hepatic injury, endocrinopathy, compromised intestinal integrity, haematopoietic or vascular force abnormalities were not associated with death
Kidney injury and respiratory signs were associated with death

This study has validated a nine-category CSI, proven a useful assessment tool in dogs with AP

Q

Prevalence and clinical relevance of hypercobalaminaemia in dogs and cats Vet J 2020 Kather

A

Naturally-occurring increased serum cobalamin concentrations occurred infrequently in cats and even less often in dogs.

17
Q

Diseases associated with hypercobalaminemia in dogs in United Kingdom: A retrospective study of 47 dogs Can J 2021 Riz

A

hypercobalaminemia is commonly identified in gastrointestinal and hepatic disease in dogs, but can also be seen with endocrine and neurological conditions.

18
Q

Long-term survival of dogs treated for gallbladder mucocele by cholecystectomy, medical management, or both Parkanzky JVIM 2019

A

Cholecystectomy best long-term survival in dogs surviving the immediate postoperative period (14 days)

medical management is associated with shorter survival compared to surgical treatment, it is a reasonable alternative when surgery cannot be pursued

19
Q

Proteinuria in dogs with gallbladder mucocele formation: A retrospective case control study JVIM 2021 Lindaberry

A

Gallbladder mucocele formation is significantly associated with proteinuria in dogs.

21
Q
