Research Updates: Dogs with gallbladder mucoceles may be prone to common endocrine diseases Jul 1, 2010 By: Erika Meler, DVM, MS, Barrak Pressler, DVM, PhD, DACVIM This study establishes that there is a high prevalence of hyperadrenocorticism in dogs with gallbladder mucoceles and suggests that a similar association may be present between hypothyroidism and mucocele development.

Research Updates: A simple blood smear as a diagnostic test to predict death secondary to heatstroke in dogs? May 1, 2010 By: Erika Meler, DVM, MS, Barrak Pressler, DVM, PhD, DACVIM A number of prognostic factors for survival of dogs with heatstroke have been reported.

Research Updates: Should veterinarians emphasize the risk of intestinal nematodiasis based on patient signalment and geographic location? Feb 8, 2010 By: Erika Meler, DVM, MS, Barrak Pressler, DVM, PhD, DACVIM Although intestinal parasitism in pet dogs is not uncommon, the relative distribution and frequency of the most common intestinal parasites (Toxocara, Ancylostoma, and Trichuris species) in various geographic regions of the United States have not been extensively studied.

Research Updates: Common disorders associated with aspiration pneumonia in dogs, and the influence of underlying disease or thoracic radiograph findings on patient survival Feb 8, 2010 By: Erika Meler, DVM, MS, Barrak Pressler, DVM, PhD, DACVIM Although aspiration pneumonia is a common clinical diagnosis in dogs, studies on the causes, diagnostic findings, and outcome of affected dogs are sparse.

Research Updates: Ascites validated as a powerful prognostic indicator in canine chronic hepatitis Feb 1, 2010 By: Erika Meler, DVM, MS, Barrak Pressler, DVM, PhD, DACVIM This study confirms that in dogs with confirmed primary chronic hepatitis, those patients with ascites at the time of diagnosis will have significantly decreased survival times compared with those without ascites.

Research Updates: Single-injection antibiotic treatment for cats with abscesses and infected wounds Oct 1, 2009 By: Erika Meler, DVM, MS, Barrak Pressler, DVM, PhD, DACVIM Cephalosporins are often used as first-line antibiotics for superficial skin infections in dogs and cats.

Research Updates: Antigen and antibody tests for diagnosing and monitoring blastomycosis in dogs May 1, 2009 By: Erika Meler, DVM, MS, Barrak Pressler, DVM, PhD, DACVIM The study discussed here demonstrates that enzyme immunoassay detection of B. dermatitidis antigen is a valuable addition to the arsenal of diagnostic tests.

The effect of phenobarbital on serum triglyceride concentrations in epileptic dogs May 1, 2009 By: Erika Meler, DVM, MS, Barrak Pressler, DVM, PhD, DACVIM This study demonstrates that epileptic dogs treated with phenobarbital alone or in combination with potassium bromide are more likely to be hypertriglyceridemic.
