Abstract:
... Background: Urethral obstruction is one of the most commonly encountered emergencies in feline medicine, with a wide range of clinical signs, from dysuria to peri‐arrest. Such patients are some of the most challenging cases in feline medicine with several factors to consider; however, they can be equally rewarding. Aim of the article: This is the first article in a three‐part series. The aim of th ...

Abstract:
... The aim of this study was to assess the effect of topical tetracaine hydrochloride 0.5% on intraocular pressure (IOP) in ophthalmologically normal cats. Twenty domestic shorthair cats (40 eyes) were used in this study. Each cat was randomly allocated to one of two groups (treatment or control). Baseline IOP (T0) was measured in each cat, and then one drop of tetracaine hydrochloride 0.5% or artifi ...

Abstract:
... In 2003, Martı́n et al. reported a green alcohol oxidation with FeBr₃(cat.)/H₂O₂ and proposed a high-valent iron species (HIS) responsible for the alcohol oxidation. Reinvestigating this FeBr₃(cat.)/H₂O₂ method led us to propose a different mechanism that involves a reactive brominating species (RBS) for the oxidation of alcohols. The evidence to support this RBS-based mechanism includes (1) our r ...
