Clinical validation of a proANP 31-67 fragment ELISA in the diagnosis of heart failure in the dog
Log proANP 31-67 levels were significantly higher in the heart failure group. In this population of dogs, using a cut-off value of 1,750 fmol/ml, the sensitivity and specificity of the assay were 83.9 per cent and 97.5 per cent, respectively.
Owners' assessments of their dog's quality of life during palliative chemotherapy for lymphoma
Sixty-eight per cent of the owners considered their dog's quality of life to be the same as before the lymphoma occurred, and the remaining 32 per cent felt that their pet's quality of life on chemotherapy treatment was acceptable but poorer than before the lymphoma occurred. Treatment complications were reported by 52 per cent of owners. Ninety-two per cent of owners had no regrets about treating their dog with multidrug chemotherapy.
Uptake of 5-hydroxytryptamine by equine digital vein endothelial cells: inhibition by amines found in the equine caecum
The vasoconstrictor action of serotonin could be potentiated by gut-derived amines, providing a feasible link between GI disturbances and the pathophysiology of laminits.
