Intravenous dexmedetomidine, morphine, or a combination can result in gallbladder wall thickening; with no significant association with plasma histamine concentrations

Bini, G., Cohen, E. B., Chiavaccini, L., Messenger, K. M., & Bailey, K. M. (2022, January 10). VETERINARY RADIOLOGY & ULTRASOUND, Vol. 1.

By: G. Bini *, E. Cohen n , L. Chiavaccini*, K. Messenger n & K. Bailey n

author keywords: canine; dexmedetomidine; gallbladder; histamine; morphine; sonography; ultrasound
MeSH headings : Animals; Dexmedetomidine / pharmacology; Dogs; Gallbladder / diagnostic imaging; Histamine; Morphine / pharmacology; Pilot Projects; Prospective Studies
TL;DR: Gallbladder wall thickening was observed in at least one dog in each group, therefore caution is recommended for gallbladders wall thickness ultrasonographic interpretation in dogs when these drugs have been administered, and the association between histamine plasma concentration and gallbladder thickness was compared with a mixed-effects model.

A computed tomography-based method for the assessment of canine retrobulbar cone volume for ophthalmic anaesthesia

VETERINARY ANAESTHESIA AND ANALGESIA, 48(5), 759–766.

By: A. Greco *, D. Costanza *, A. Senatore*, D. Bruzzese *, F. Micieli *, L. Chiavaccini n, M. Di Giancamillo *, G. Della Valle * ...

author keywords: CT; dog; eye; local anaesthetics; ophthalmic surgery
MeSH headings : Anesthesia, Local / veterinary; Animals; Dogs; Eye; Male; Orbit; Retrospective Studies; Tomography, X-Ray Computed / veterinary
TL;DR: There is no agreement on the precise volume of local anaesthetic solution that should be used to achieve intraconal retrobulbar anaesthesia in dogs, so this work suggests a formula to calculate the retroBulbar cone volume and, accordingly, the injection volume ofLocal anaesthesia solution for effective retrobul bar anaesthesia.

By: L. Chiavaccini n

author keywords: horse; cardiopulmonary arrest; CPR; international guidelines; RECOVER
TL;DR: The RECOVER guidelines, published in the summer of 2012, aimed to systematically review the body of literature on CPR from a veterinary standpoint and to generate practical consensus guidelines to be used in dogs and cats. (via Semantic Scholar)

Risk factors associated with hypoxaemia in horses undergoing general anaesthesia: A retrospective study

Hovda, T., Love, L., & Chiavaccini, L. (2021, December 2). EQUINE VETERINARY JOURNAL, Vol. 11.

By: T. Hovda n, L. Love n  & L. Chiavaccini*

author keywords: general anaesthesia; horse; hypoxaemia; pulmonary shunting; ventilation; perfusion mismatch
MeSH headings : Anesthesia, General / adverse effects; Anesthesia, General / veterinary; Animals; Horse Diseases; Horses; Hypoxia / veterinary; Oxygen; Retrospective Studies; Risk Factors
TL;DR: Based on the lowest PaO2 value during anaesthesia, in this population, horses undergoing anaesthesia for exploratory laparotomy were over six times more likely to become hypoxaemic than horses undergoing elective procedures. (via Semantic Scholar)

Serum artemin is not correlated with sensitivity within dogs with naturally occurring osteoarthritis pain

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 11(1).

By: A. Gupta n , L. Chiavaccini n, L. Minnema n, K. Chiu n, D. Knazovicky n , J. Hash n, S. Mishra n, B. Lascelles  n

MeSH headings : Animals; Arthralgia / diagnosis; Arthralgia / etiology; Dogs; Female; Male; Nerve Tissue Proteins / blood; Osteoarthritis / blood; Osteoarthritis / complications; Pain Threshold; Severity of Illness Index; Symptom Assessment
TL;DR: Serum ARTN was not associated with the degree of sensitization within dogs with OAP, and across dogs with varying OAP severity, there did not find any association between ARTN, and clinical measures of joint pain and disability, although a relationship between Artemin and joint pain was not ruled out.
