Effect of Phenylbutazone Administration on Insulin Sensitivity in Horses With Insulin Dysregulation
Kemp KL, Yuen NKY, Skinner JE and Bertin FR
Phenylbutazone is prescribed to manage pain caused by hyperinsulinemia-associated laminitis. Phenylbutazone reduces glucose and insulin concentrations in horses with insulin dysregulation (ID) but the underlying mechanism of action is unknown.
Use of Indices Combining Diastolic and Systolic Tissue Doppler Variables to Evaluate Right Ventricular Function in Dogs With Pulmonary Stenosis
Winter RL, Maneval KL and Ferrel CS
Indices combining diastolic and systolic tissue Doppler variables, the Ee's' index (E/[e' × s']) and e'a's' index (e'/[a' × s']), have aided detection of myocardial dysfunction and in prediction of poor outcomes in humans with cardiovascular diseases. Studies of Ee's' and e'a's' indices in dogs have not been performed.

Loublier C, Costa M, Taminiau B, Lecoq L, Daube G, Amory H and Cesarini C
Research on fecal microbiota changes during hospitalization of horses with colic is emerging.
Plasma Parathyroid Hormone Concentration as a Predictor of Post-Operative Hypocalcemia in Dogs Diagnosed With Primary Hyperparathyroidism and Treated With Parathyroidectomy
Travail V, Motta C, Lea C, Salas-Garcia A, Clarke K, Lombardo SF, Paul A, Hajdu D, Blázquez CA, Seth M, Walton-Clark M, Roldan LMG, Geddes RF, Conway SA, González KS, Domínguez PG, Keyte S, Pollard D and Kelly D
Hypocalcemia is a relatively common complication after parathyroidectomy for treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism.
Echocardiographic Evaluation of Indices of Severity of Pulmonary Stenosis in Dogs: Reproducibility and Effects of General Anesthesia
Ross ES, Visser LC, Tantisuwat L, Mama K, Potter BM and Scansen BA
The effects of general anesthesia (GA) on less flow-dependent (velocity ratio, velocity time integral [VTI] ratio and indexed pulmonary valve area [iPVA]) and flow-dependent (mean [PVmeanPG] and maximum pressure gradient [PVmaxPG]) indices of severity of pulmonary stenosis (PS) are unclear.
The Acute Patient Physiologic and Laboratory Evaluation Score and Other Prognostic Factors in Dogs With Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Edwards SM and Hess RS
Acute patient physiologic and laboratory evaluation (APPLE) scores have not been reported in dogs with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
Influence of Carcinoma and Sarcoma on Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin and Symmetric Dimethylarginine Concentrations in Dogs
Rixon A, Meyer E, Daminet S, Goddard A, Kongtasai T and Pazzi P
It is unknown if tumors or concomitant renal disease influence neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) concentrations in tumor-bearing dogs.
The Effect of Season and Breed on Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Hormones, Metabolic Hormones, and Oxidative Markers in Ponies and Horses
Vaughn SA, Lemons MB and Hart KA
Endocrine function in ponies differs from horses, with seasonally increased concentrations of plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and an increased risk of insulin dysregulation.
Prognostic Roles of Trace Element and Cobalamin Concentrations in Dogs With Parvoviral Enteritis
Yanar KE, Laçin SSS, Aktaş MS, Timurkan MÖ and Aydın H
The trace elements copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and selenium (Se) have been the focus of research into their potential roles in the prognosis of gastrointestinal disorders in humans.
Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Profiling in Horses Before and After Exercise
Holbrook T, Hernandez J, McCarrel T, Lester G, Sleeper M, Domenig O and Adin D
The impact of exercise on the classical and alternative renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) pathways has not been studied in horses.
Longitudinal Evaluation of Vitamin D, Parathyroid Hormone, Antimicrobial Peptides, and Immunomodulatory Genes in Hospitalized Foals
Kamr AM, Bartish C, Summers J, Horton J, Hostnik LD, Orr K, Browne N, Dembek KA, Saliba C, Gomez DE and Toribio RE
Information about the association of antimicrobial peptides with hypovitaminosis D in hospitalized foals is lacking.
Vaccination and Seasonality as Risk Factors for Development of Meningoencephalitis of Unknown Origin in 172 Dogs
Johnson MK, Windsor RC, Schmidt JL, Raczek DJ and Moore GE
Meningoencephalitis of unknown origin (MUO) is a neuroinflammatory disease that is suspected to be immune-mediated. Vaccination and season inconsistently have been reported as risk factors for development of MUO in dogs, but limited prospectively collected data is available to evaluate these potential risk factors.
Outcome in Critically Ill Dogs and Dogs With Acute Kidney Injury Based on Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-2
Dorn E, Biscop A, Devriendt N, Castelain D, Demeyere K, Stock E, Meyer E and Paepe D
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) have potential as early biomarkers for acute kidney injury (AKI) in dogs.

Association of Serum Symmetric Dimethylarginine Concentrations and Inflammation in Cats
Cattaneo G, Kingsbury EJ, McCallum KE and Williams TL
Serum symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) concentrations are higher in some hyperthyroid cats with normal renal function, presumably due to increased protein catabolism.
