• Short/Ultra‐Short TE MRI Sequences Comparable to CT and Superior to Standard MRI Sequences for Canine Skull Imaging

  Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound · 2025-05-01

  articleOpen access

  Magnetic resonance imaging often needs to be complemented with CT for complete assessment of bony structures due to CTs increased spatial resolution and discrimination of cortical bone margins. The aims of this prospective method comparison study were to perform qualitative and quantitative comparisons of standard MR sequences with three short/ultra-short TE MR sequences using CT as the gold standard. Eight healthy research dogs of similar size had CT and MR of the head performed. Three short/ultra-short TE sequences, VIBE, PETRA, and UTE, alongside standard T2W, PD, and T1W TSE sequences of the head were obtained. Slice thickness of CT and short TE MR sequences were matched. A qualitative scale was used to assess the visibility of cortical margins and skull foramina. For the quantitative assessment, predetermined osseous structures and foramina on designated slices were measured. Levene's test and post hoc folded F tests with false discovery rate adjustments were applied to the residuals from these models to compare precision relative to CT across the sequence types. The short/ultra-short TE MR sequences were significantly better than the standard MR sequences for quantitative assessment of bone thickness of smaller structures and overall qualitative assessment. Any of these short/ultra-short TE sequences may be viable to incorporate into a clinical setting as an alternative to CT to help further evaluate the skull and reduce anesthesia time and client cost. VIBE, PETRA, and UTE sequences have diagnostic image quality and provide a consistent quantitative and qualitative assessment of the cortical bone of the skull when compared with CT.

• The role of hyperbole in conveying emotionality: the case of victim speech

  Cognition & Emotion · 2024-10-10 · 3 citations

  articleOpen access

  emotionality can be perceived negatively. In this study, we examined whether hyperbole impacts perceived emotionality and assessed the extent of this impact on measures of valence, intensity, and appropriateness. Participants were professionals (police officers) or jury-eligible laypersons who rated testimonies containing either hyperbolic or non-hyperbolic expressions. Results suggested that the use of hyperbole increased the perceived emotional intensity of the testimony, but made testimonies appear less emotionally appropriate than non-hyperbolic counterparts. In addition, regardless of the presence of hyperbole, laypersons judged the scenarios to be more unpleasant, and more emotionally intense compared to professionals. Findings suggest discrepancies between hyperbole usage and discourse goals, versus its perception. That is, hyperbole effectively enhances emotionality, but its role in victim speech may come with more caveats than anticipated, particularly when considering the proposed importance of victim emotionality in establishing credibility.

• Pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous ketamine administration via the Omnipod® system in dogs

  Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics · 2024-03-27 · 1 citations

  articleOpen access

  Ketamine is an injectable anesthetic agent with analgesic and antidepressant effects that can prevent maladaptive pain. Ketamine is metabolized by the liver into norketamine, an active metabolite. Prior rodent studies have suggested that norketamine is thought to contribute up to 30% of ketamine's analgesic effect. Ketamine is usually administered as an intravenous (IV) bolus injection or continuous rate infusion (CRI) but can be administered subcutaneously (SC) and intramuscularly (IM). The Omnipod® is a wireless, subcutaneous insulin delivery device that adheres to the skin and delivers insulin as an SC CRI. The Omnipod® was used in dogs for postoperative administration of ketamine as a 1 mg/kg infusion bolus (IB) over 1 hour (h). Pharmacokinetics (PK) showed plasma ketamine concentrations between 42 and 326.1 ng/mL. The median peak plasma concentration was 79.5 (41.9-326.1) ng/mL with a Tmax of 60 (30-75) min. After the same infusion bolus, the corresponding norketamine PK showed plasma drug concentrations between 22.0 and 64.8 ng/mL. The median peak plasma concentration was 43.0 (26.1-71.8) ng/mL with a median Tmax of 75 min. The median peak ketamine plasma concentration exceeded 100 ng/mL in dogs for less than 1 h post infusion. The Omnipod® system successfully delivered subcutaneous ketamine to dogs in the postoperatively.

• Monitoring Ventilation

  2024-06-21

  otherOpen access

  Monitoring ventilation during veterinary anesthesia is a fundamental component of perioperative care as the ability to maintain proper ventilation during anesthesia may be compromised by anesthetic and analgesic drugs, muscle relaxation, and changes in respiratory drive. Monitoring ventilation includes both subjective and objective techniques. Quantitative assessment of carbon dioxide via capnography allows the evaluation of metabolism, pulmonary perfusion and cardiac output, alveolar gas exchange, and the integrity of the anesthetic equipment, thereby preventing complications and ensuring patient well-being. Capnography is also essential in certain physiologic states, e.g., increased intracranial pressure or during cardiopulmonary arrest. Employing appropriate monitoring techniques and maintaining vigilance can ensure that the anesthetist provides optimal patient care, minimizing complications.

• EVALUATION OF OSCILLOMETRIC BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT USING A FINGER CUFF IN ANESTHETIZED CHIMPANZEES (PAN TROGLODYTES)

  Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine · 2023-03-20 · 4 citations

  articleCorresponding

  Cardiovascular disease is common among chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), and serial blood pressure monitoring in conscious animals may improve disease surveillance and guide hypertension treatment strategies. The objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of a noninvasive, oscillometric blood pressure monitor using a finger blood pressure cuff with invasively measured blood pressure in anesthetized chimpanzees. Twelve chimpanzees were anesthetized with tiletamine–zolazepam intramuscularly, intubated, and maintained on inhaled isoflurane to effect. Blood pressure measurements, which included systolic arterial pressure (SAP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and diastolic arterial pressure (DAP), were collected simultaneously from an oscillometric blood pressure cuff placed on a forelimb digit (FBP) and a direct arterial catheter (IBP) every 5–10 min while anesthetized. One hundred paired samples were collected, and results were compared using Bland–Altman plots and analysis. FBP showed good agreement with IBP for SAP, MAP, and DAP but consistently overestimated values compared with IBP. FBP may be useful for serial blood pressure monitoring in conscious chimpanzees.

• Cuff size, cuff placement, blood pressure state, and monitoring technique can influence indirect arterial blood pressure monitoring in anesthetized bats (Pteropus vampyrus)

  American Journal of Veterinary Research · 2023-03-15 · 1 citations

  articleOpen access

  OBJECTIVE: Evaluate agreement between 2 non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) techniques and invasive arterial blood pressure (IBP) in anesthetized bats using various cuff sizes and cuff positioning while also evaluating its performance during hypertension and hypotension. ANIMALS: 8 bats (1.1 ± 0.2 kg). PROCEDURES: Bats were anesthetized with isoflurane in oxygen. NIBP was measured using oscillometric (NIBP-O) and Doppler (NIBP-D) techniques in the pectoral limb (PEC) and pelvic limbs (PEL) using 3 cuff sizes (1, 2, and 3). NIBP measurements were compared with IBP; systolic (SAPinvasive), mean (MAPinvasive), and diastolic arterial blood pressure (DAPinvasive) during normotension, hypertension, and hypotension. Hypotension was induced with isoflurane (3.8 ± 1.2%) and hypertension with norepinephrine (3 ± 0.5 µg/kg/min). Data analysis included Bland-Altman analyses and 3-way ANOVA. Results were reported as mean bias (95% CI). RESULTS: NIBP-O monitor reported 29% errors, and experienced more failures with hypertension, cuff placement on PEC, and using a size 1 cuff. Across states, an agreement between NIBP-D and MAPinvasive with cuff 2 on PEL (-3 mmHg [-8, 1]), and NIBP-D and SAPinvasive with cuff 3 on PEC (2 mmHg [-5, 9 mmHg]) was achieved. NIBP-D over-estimated SAPinvasive and MAPinvasive during hypertension in both limbs with cuffs 1 and 2. Except during hypotension, NIBP-O underestimated MAPinvasive and DAPinvasive using a size 2 cuff on PEL. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: In anesthetized bats, NIBP-O is unreliable for estimating IBP. NIBP-D shows acceptable agreement with MAPinvasive with cuff size 2 on PEL, and with SAPinvasive with cuff size 3 on PEC across a wide range of IBP values.
