Newly discovered diversity in typhoid bacteria linked to higher mortality rates
Cornell University CVM
World-wide, 20% of Salmonella Typhi (S. Typhi), the bacteria that causes typhoid fever, belong to types that had never been described by science before. Some of the bacterial strains have higher virulence, higher infectivity and high antibiotic resistance – possibly impacting the disease’s epidemiology and vaccine efficacy.
3D-printed bone models help save shih tzu’s leg from amputation
Cornell University CVM
Cornell University CVM
When Marion and Dr. Jeffery Grace brought Coco, their 10-year-old shih-tzu, to the Cornell University Hospital for Animals (CUHA) in December 2022, they were determined to save his leg from amputation. Injured severely several years before, the limb had never fully healed and recently gotten worse. “I’m very thankful we came to Cornell,” Marion Grace said. Thanks to cutting-edge 3D modeling and surgical techniques, Coco has not only kept his leg, but is moving normally and happily again.
Revised CPR guidelines in dogs, cats emphasize speed, standard techniques
AVMA
Any veterinary patient undergoing anesthesia is at risk of cardiopulmonary arrest. Dr. Daniel Fletcher, associate professor in the emergency and critical care section at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, said, “You don’t see (cardiopulmonary) arrest that often, but in general practice settings it’s usually around anesthesia, and there’s a lot of reason to think you can get these patients back” with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
The hidden language of cephalopod skin
DVM360
Cephalopods, including cuttlefish, octopuses, and squids, are known for their complex behaviors, particularly their dynamic skin displays. These behaviors include camouflage, inking, visual communication through skin patterns, and displaying patterns during sleep. Cephalopods’ skin is directly controlled by neurons from their brains, making their skin patterns a direct reflection of neural activity. This connection allows scientists to study how cephalopods perceive and interact with their environment.
How dietary management affects glandular ulcers in horses
The Horse
Equine glandular gastric disease (EGGD) can negatively affect the health and performance of sport horses. The pain caused by this condition often prevents affected horses from performing well in competition, leading to welfare concerns and a negative economic impact for owners and trainers alike due to cost of treatments and loss of training and competition time. In addition to medical treatment led by a veterinarian, most horses with EGGD benefit from nutritional and management changes to support treatment and promote long-term ulcer prevention.
