Intravenous Lipid Emulsion

<strong>Abstract</strong><p><strong>Objective: </strong>The purpose of this study is to report the use of intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) in dogs presenting with suspected tremorgenic mycotoxicosis based on signs of intoxication and known ingestion of mouldy food or compost.</p><p><strong>Background: </strong>ILE is being used for toxicoses associated with fat soluble agents. As tremorgenic mycotoxins are lipophilic in nature, the use of ILE may be of benefit in these patients. </p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Medical records of all dogs examined at any Vets Now clinic between November 2012 and November 2016, in which ILE had been used, were reviewed and 53 cases were included in the study.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In 96% of cases there was clinical improvement recorded post ILE administration within a median time of 4 hours. No adverse effects were seen during the infusion or up to the time of discharge.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The administration of ILE seems to be associated with a beneficial effect in the short term in dogs. Prospective evaluation of this therapy is warranted to further evaluate the use of ILE in these cases.</p><a href="https://ctt.ac/UQ947" target="_blank"><img style="border: 0px none; width: 79px; height: 33px; margin: 0px; float: left; outline: none; text-decoration: none; -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/d225a799e9a6edf193d7484f0/images/e989acbf-a9e8-41d9-ade3-1c24637fcbdd.png" alt="" width="79" height="33" data-file-id="2781617" /></a><br /><br /><img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/oa-icon.jpg" alt="Open Access" /> <img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/pr-icon.jpg" alt="Peer Reviewed" />

Variable Quality

<strong>PICO question</strong><br /><p>In fearful or anxious dogs does wearing a pressure vest, compared to not wearing one, result in reduced behavioural and physiological signs of stress? </p><strong>Clinical bottom line</strong><br /><p>Four studies of variable quality and limitations were identified that investigated the use of pressure vests, using various physiological and behavioural proxy measures of anxiety. Most behavioural outcome measures associated with a positive effect were subjective assessments, with unblinded assessors. Subjectively, many of the owners believed that pressure vests had a positive effect on their dogs’ anxiety levels.</p><p>The take home message for the veterinary professional is that pressure vests may have small but beneficial effects on canine anxiety and that habituating the dog to the vest, assessing for comfort and using repeatedly may improve the likelihood of any benefit. However, the owner should be cautioned that they should not expect their dog’s anxiety to be fully alleviated or prevented, and it may have no beneficial effect at all. </p><a href="https://ctt.ec/XrfoM" target="_blank"><img style="border: 0px none; width: 79px; height: 33px; margin: 0px; float: left; outline: none; text-decoration: none; -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/d225a799e9a6edf193d7484f0/images/e989acbf-a9e8-41d9-ade3-1c24637fcbdd.png" alt="" width="79" height="33" data-file-id="2781617" /></a><p><img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/oa-icon.jpg" alt="Open Access" /> <img src="https://www.veterinaryevidence.org/rcvskmod/icons/pr-icon.jpg" alt="Peer Reviewed" /></p>

Long Term Adverse Effects

The term ‘pollution’ is taken in its broadest sense and effects are recognized to be due to interference, tainting and toxicity. Each of these types of impact is discussed and assessed. It is concluded that no long-term adverse effects on fish stocks can be attributed to oil but that local impacts can be extremely damaging in the short term and that produce from specific localities can be tainted and unmarketable for long periods. In some coastal areas oil can be one among several contributors to reduced water quality, and the implications of this are discussed.

Low Incidence

An estimate of the incidence of nosocomial purulent-septic infections (GSI) of adult patients after various types of closed heart surgery according to the results of a study of medical records of 3275 patients is presented. It was established that the incidence rate of typical GSI after endovascular cardiac surgery was 3.1, with prenosological forms — 3.9 per 1000 operations. The main clinical options for postoperative GSI were infections in the field of surgical intervention, community-acquired pneumonia, urinary tract infection and bloodstream infection. There were no statistically significant differences between the incidence of GSI after stenting of the coronary arteries, operations for heart rhythm disturbances, stenosis of the carotid artery and other operations. The low incidence of GSI after closed heart surgery is due to the short duration of surgery, as well as the absence or short-term resuscitation of patients.
