Studies
- PMID 41953598 (2026, Journal of clinical medicine research) — The Correct Nutritional Intake in the Prevention and Treatment of Skin Lesions in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury... <h4>Background</h4>Pressure injuries (PIs) are a serious and highly prevalent complication in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), negatively impacting quality of life, rehabilitation, and healthcare costs. Given their multifactorial etiology, a multidisciplinary approach that includes nutritional interventions is essential. This review provides expert consensus on the ro
- PMID 41893715 (2026, Veterinary sciences) — Canine Cognitive Dysfunction and Alzheimer's Disease: Pathophysiological Relationships and the Impact of Glymphatic System Impairment on Neurodegeneration... Canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD) is a common age-related neurodegenerative disorder in dogs that shares several pathological and clinical features with human Alzheimer's disease (AD). In both species, β-amyloid (Aβ) accumulates within the brain parenchyma and cerebral vessel walls and is associated with synaptic loss, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and chronic n
- PMID 41824140 (2026, Veterinary research communications) — Bedinvetmab, alone or in combination with photobiomodulation and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, on pain and quality of life in dogs with hip osteoarthritis... Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the main causes of chronic pain in dogs, significantly impairing mobility and quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of bedinvetmab, administered alone and in combination with physiotherapy using photobiomodulation (PBM) and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF), in dogs with hip OA. This was a prospective, rando
- PMID 40302410 (2026, Equine veterinary journal) — Osteochondrosis in horses: An overview of genetic and other factors... Osteochondrosis (OC) is a frequent manifestation of developmental orthopaedic disease, and its severe clinical presentation is known as OC dissecans (OCD). OC is defined as a disruption of the endochondral ossification process in the epiphyseal cartilage, and this disease has been reported in different mammalian species, including humans, dogs, pigs, and horses. OCD is an impor
- PMID 40443203 (2025, Journal of veterinary diagnostic investigation : official publication of the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians, Inc) — Diseases of the nervous system of equids in Brazil: a review... In Brazil, CNS diseases in equids were little known until the 1980s. Since then, several diagnostic laboratories have been operating in different universities, initially in the South and Southeast regions and, later, in the Central-West, Northeast and North regions. However, the knowledge accumulated from the diagnoses of nervous system diseases of equids made at these institut
- PMID 40759687 (2025, Scientific reports) — The genetic secrets revealed from canine fetal fluids obtained in mid-pregnancy... Amniotic fluid analysis is widely used for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in humans. However, its application in canine medicine remains underutilized, where genetic assessments typically rely on parental profiles. This study aimed to explore the potential for uncovering genetic information from canine fetuses during mid-pregnancy and its implications for future clinical ma
