How does the median survival time for surgically treated cats with intracranial meningioma compare to cats treated with SRT?
Tichenor et al, 2023 - JAVMA
Surgery = 1,345 days MST
SRT = 339 days MST
Tichenor et al, 2023 - JAVMA
What percentage of cats treated surgically for an intracranial meningioma experienced perioperative complications?
What was the most common perioperative complication?
Tichenor et al, 2023 - JAVMA
74%
Anemia
Tichenor et al, 2023 - JAVMA
What percentage of cats treated with SRT alone for an intracranial meningioma experienced an immediate complication?
What was the most common immediate complication?
Tichenor et al, 2023 - JAVMA
7% (1 case)
Hyperthermia and tachypnea
Tichenor et al, 2023 - JAVMA
What was the % incidence of tumor recurrence in cats treated surgically vs with SRT for intracranial meningioma?
Tichenor et al, 2023 - JAVMA
About 30% tumor recurrence rate for both
The median time until tumor recurrence was significantly different between the two groups (1,183 days with surgery; 315 days with SRT)
Tichenor et al, 2023 - JAVMA
What effect can intranasal dexmedetomidine have on temperature and blood pressure in dogs undergoing MRI?
Lin et al, 2024 - JAVMA
It improves maintenance of both temperature and blood pressure better during MRI due to peripheral vasoconstriction compared with dogs that did not receive it
Lin et al, 2024 - JAVMA
What was the most common complication of intranasal dexmedetomidine for use in dogs undergoing MRI and how was it addressed?
Lin et al, 2024 - JAVMA
Bradycardia at around 45-60 minutes which was responsive to atipamazole
Lin et al, 2024 - JAVMA
Meningiomas account for what percentage of all primary intracranial tumors in cats?
Tichenor et al, 2023 - JAVMA
56 - 58%
Tichenor et al, 2023 - JAVMA
What is the most common use of distal paravertebral blocks in standing cattle?
Klein et al, 2024 - JAVMA
Abdominal explore through the paralumbar fossa (e.g. treatment of left or right displaced abomasum)
Klein et al, 2024 - JAVMA
How was lidocaine with xylozine differ from lidocaine alone for the use of distal paravertebral blocks in standing cattle?
Klein et al, 2024 - JAVMA
Lidocaine with xylozine resulted in longer duration of anesthesia and a lower average heart rate with mild but not significant sedation
Klein et al, 2024 - JAVMA
What effect did levetiracetam have in a goat with polioencephalomalacia (from thiamine deficiency) that was experiencing refractory seizures?
Stapley et al, 2023 - JAVMA
Levetiracetam showed excellent clinical efficacy at the high end of the therpeutic range with no apparent side effects
Stapley et al, 2023 - JAVMA
What affect does tactile stimulation have on manual bladder expression in cats with upper motor neuron injury?
Galluzzi et al, 2023 - JAVMA
In acute injury, tactile stimulation improved the ability to achieve a urine stream (100% compared with 54% of cats with bladder expression attempts without tactile stimulation)
In both acute and chronic injury, tactil stimulation improved how quickly a urine stream was achieved with bladder expression (3-4 sec vs 8-9 sec)
Galluzzi et al, 2023 - JAVMA
How do pregabalin (4mg/kg PO) and gabapentin (10mg/kg PO) compare with regards to sedation before and recovery after anesthesia in cats?
Madan et al, 2024 - JAVMA
They have the same effects
At the studied doses, pregabalin and gabapentin produced indistinguishable effects as adjunctive perioperative sedation protocols in cats
Madan et al, 2024 - JAVMA
What were the most common neuroanatomical localizations associated with central cord syndrome in cats, and their incidence?
Ros et al, 2024 - JAVMA
C1-C5 (77%)
C6-T2 (23%)
Ros et al, 2024 - JAVMA
What was the most common underlying cause of central cord syndrome in cats presenting with peracute signs, and presenting with chronic signs?
Ros et al, 2024 - JAVMA
Peracute signs - ischemic myelopathy (36%)
Chronic signs - neoplasia (23%)
Ros et al, 2024 - JAVMA
How might fly-catching syndrome be related to diet and the presence of gluten?
Galli et al, 2023 - JAVMA
Gastrointestinal diseases is one of the potential triggers for this behavior
One study identified an FBD with AG IgG and ATG-2 IgA antibotdies (suggestive of a gluten sensitivity) whose episodes responded to changing to a gluten free diet
Galli et al, 2023 - JAVMA
What is the value of blood C-reactive protein concentration on the diagnosis and prognosis of MUE and SRMA?
Cavalerie et al, 2024
Only the duration of clinical signs was associated with an increase in blood CRP level
There was no association with diagnosis or with survival
Cavalerie et al, 2024
How did the content of unlicensed injectable FIP treatment compare to the procuder’s advertised claims?
Kent et al, 2024 - JAVMA
The injectable product tended to contain significantly more drug than was advertised, and at a significantly lower pH than is recommended for SQ injections
Kent et al, 2024 - JAVMA
How did the content of unlicensed oral FIP treatment compare to the producer’s advertised claims?
Kent et al, 2024 - JAVMA
The oral product tended to vary widely but often with less of the drug than was advertised
Kent et al, 2024 - JAVMA
Describe the MRI appearance of intracranial Cryptococcosus in dogs and cats (including the differences between the two) for the following features/ sequences:
Location:
T2:
FLAIR:
T1:
T1+C:
Extraneural abnormalities:
Jacobson et al, 2023 - JAVMA
Location: Extra-axial (dogs); 50% intra-axial and 50% extra-axial (cats)
T2: Hyperintense; rarely hypotintense
FLAIR: Hyperintense
T1: Iso- to hypointense

Jacobson et al, 2023 - JAVMA

The PEP protocol was 99.8% effective with only 3 dogs (all <12 weeks of age) developing rabies despite PEP
Wilson et al, 2024 - JAVMA
