EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT COX 2-INHIBITORS ON GASTRIC MUCOSAL HEALING
Non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs are widely used in the therapy of chronic and degenerative joint diseases etc. The most common side effect is gastrointestinal - an effect that should be reduced by choosing the `newer` one which only inhibit the enzyme cycooxygenase 2. But little is known about the effect of dual cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase inhibition on canine gastric mucosal healing. A very interesting study has been performed recently using two of the NSAID of the newer generation.

Turbinates in the nasopharynx of brachycephalic dogs
Many brachycephalic dogs suffer from the `Brachycephalic syndrome` consisting of nasal stenosis, elongated velum palatinum, collapsing trachea etc. How many of them also develop nasal turbinates that should also be corrected? After reading of this retrospective study it is clear that this problem is an important and common part of the syndrome leading to upper respiratory disease and needs to be considered in those cases...

Bilateral orbital and rhinal aspergillosis in an old Persian cat
The chief complaint of the owner of this 12-year-old, 4 kg, castrated male Persian cat was a 2-month history of sneezing and bilateral mucopurulent nasal discharge. Rhinoscopy and histopathology only revealed a bilateral lymphoplasmacytic rhinitis. After a successful corticosteroid therapy the cat came back with a rhinitis complicated by exophthalmus, and the final diagnosis was made via CT. A very interesting case!

First Description of Collagenofibrotic Glomerulonephropathy with Fibronectin Deposition in a Dog
Collagenofibrotic glomerulonephropathy is well-described in humans but has not been reported in a non-human species before this Shiba Inu which has been presented with severe proteinuria. A very interesting case report from Japan!

Parenteral selenium and its effect on sheep with footrot
Footrot is a common problem in many sheep flocks. It is well known that the insufficient intake of selenium (Se), common in many regions, can contribute to increased susceptibility to and prolonged recovery from infectious diseases. So the objective of this study was to determine the effect of Se administration in decreasing the severity and prevalence of footrot in sheep, offering interesting new therapeutic options.

Disciplines

Exercise intolerance in a young German Shepherd (case report)
German Shepherds are prone to a number of diseases, and many differentials need to be considered if such a dog is presented at the age of 9 months for evaluation of progressive exercise intolerance. The cause of this problem was not an orthopedic problem and also not a cardiorespiratory disease. A very interesting case report!

Sperm production and morpholgy in Swedish Warmblood Stallions
Artificial insemination has become very popular in horses, and fresh and frozen semen is used. What about the sperm quality in the fresh ejaculate if the stallion is `used` for 10 consecutive days which is not unusual. Are there major changes in quality?

Radiotherapy in palliative pain management in dogs with osteosarcoma
Radiotherapy is effective for the palliation of pain associated with primary and metastatic bony neoplasia in dogs and humans, but no standard treatment protocol has been established. The goal of this study was to evaluate a 3 x 8 Gy and a 4 x 6 Gy protocol using electrons with a betatron or linear accelerator for the treatment of appendicular osteosarcoma in 54 dogs. Does this therapy improve also the result in combination with chemotherapy?

Long-term Survival of Dogs After Cholecystoenterostomy
Extrahepatic biliary tract diseases are one of the common indications of cholecystoectomy in dogs. In men, this surgical intervention often if performed in combination in resection of a pancreatic carcinoma, and the postoperative complications and the mortality rate can bei quite high. In this study, the long-term survival time of dogs after this intervention is evaluated, with interesting results and some parallels to the human data.
