Abstract:
... A 4-year-old, neutered female, domestic shorthair cat admitted to the animal hospital for recurrent constipation presumed to be due to post-traumatic injuries, went into shock with signs including fever and ataxia followed by stupor. On the fifth day of hospitalization, the cat developed severe, diffuse oedema of the ventral abdomen with multifocal to coalescing erythematous areas and small vesicl ...

Abstract:
... The kinetics of cytokine expression was evaluated in whole blood from high-IgE beagles previously sensitized to house dust mites (HDM) and known to develop clinical signs compatible with atopic dermatitis (AD) upon allergen exposure. Six high-IgE beagles were environmentally challenged daily for 3 h on three consecutive days with a HDM solution. Clinical signs were evaluated before, during, and af ...

melanization; fur; physiological regulation; cattle; genetic variation; melanin; signal transduction; gene expression; environmental factors; epidermis (animal); melanocytes; enzyme activity; genetic polymorphism; hairs
Abstract:
... Coat colours in cattle have been of interest to both breeders and researchers as genes regulating pigmentation not only affect the phenotype but also have economic implications in the event of genetic mutations. The genes controlling pigmentation act as a complex and interact with each other to cause phenotypic and genotypic variations. Pigmentation of coat broadly depends on the ratio of eumelani ...

Abstract:
... Resistance to cephalosporins and/or fluoroquinolones by Staphylococcus intermedius has remained low in Europe, with effective drugs generally available for systemic therapy in pets. However, multiresistant, mecA-positive S. intermedius isolated from dogs and cats is now emerging in Europe. Twelve S. intermedius isolates, highly resistant to at least five antimicrobial classes, were isolated from s ...

Abstract:
... The tympanic membrane is divided into the pars flaccida (PF) and pars tensa. Otoscopic differences in the appearance of the PF in the dog (flat vs. bulging) have been reported anecdotally. The purpose of this study was to histologically examine the canine PF to determine if differences exist between a flat and a bulging PF. We hypothesized that differences in the PF may be structural or due to an ...
