Comparison between the urine dipstick and the pH-meter to assess urine pH in sheep and dogs
(2018)Background: Urine pH is an integral part of a complete urinalysis, and is commonly measured in veterinary practice using semiquantitative reagent strips. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the urine pH of dogs ... -
Comparison of biuret and refractometry methods for the serum total proteins measurement in ruminants
(2017)Background: Determination of serum total protein concentration is commonly performed by the biuret method. Refractometric measurement is a faster and less expensive alternative but its accuracy has not been determined in ... -
Comparison of the electrophysiological properties of the sheep isolated costal and diaphragmatic parietal pleura
(2007)1. Pleural permeability may contribute to pleural fluid turnover. The transmesothelial resistance (R-TM), is an established surrogate of mesothelial permeability. The aim of the present study was to compare the ... -
