Application of liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry to measure urinary Cortisol in loose housed sows
(2016)Cortisol is the most common physiological parameter used to measure welfare in pigs. In field studies evaluating stress in individual pigs which are group housed, the collection of spontaneously voided urine is practical. ... -
Associations among serum insulin, calprotectin, and C-reactive protein concentrations in Miniature Schnauzers with idiopathic hyperlipidemia before and after feeding an ultra-low-fat diet
(2022)Background: Miniature Schnauzers (MS) commonly have idiopathic hypertriglyceridemia (HTGL), which is associated with insulin resistance (IR) and a subclinical inflammatory phenotype. Objectives: Determine the association ... -
Caffeine metabolism in liver cirrhosis
(2005)Caffeine is metabolized primarily by CYP1A2. Several methods have been developed for the in vivo assessment of CYP1A2 activity using caffeine as a probe drug (2). These methods include the determination of caffeine clearance ... -
A case of membranous nephropathy associated with Sjögren syndrome, polymyositis and autoimmune hepatitis
(2008)Sjögren syndrome (SS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands, especially lacrimal and salivary. The immunologic process which occurs in this syndrome is B cell ... -
Clozapine associated with autoimmune reaction, fever and low level cardiotoxicity - a case report
(2017)Background: Clozapine is a second-generation antipsychotic drug used in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Fever induced by clozapine is a rather frequent side-effect which usually occurs in the first 4 weeks of treatment. ... -
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 ... -
Correlation of a quantitative and a semi-quantitative method for proteinuria detection in chronic kidney disease in dogs
(2021)Proteinuria can arise in various physiologic and pathologic conditions. Persistent proteinuria without any abnormalities detected in urine sediment is indicative of chronic kidney disease and has great diagnostic value as ... -
Diagnostic approach of anemia in ruminants
(2018)Anemia in ruminants is an abnormal condition characterized by the decrease of the hematocrit (Packed Cell Volume, PCV), the mass of erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells, RBCs) and/or hemoglobin. Anemia is classified as hemolytic, ... -
Dietary effects of Sideritis scardica “mountain tea” on human in vivo activities of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes in healthy subjects
(2018)Sideritis scardica (S. scardica) is an endemic plant of the Balkan Peninsula traditionally used as herbal tea for inflammation and gastric disorders. Aqueous herbal extracts may affect the activity of Phase I and II enzymes ... -
Early bacterial identification among intubated patients with COVID-19 or influenza pneumonia: A european multicenter comparative clinical trial
(2021)Rationale: Early empirical antimicrobial treatment is frequently prescribed to critically ill patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) based on Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines. Objectives: We aimed to determine ... -
Effect of storage time on the urine protein: creatinine ratio in alkaline ovine urine
(2021)The urine protein:creatinine (UPC) ratio is considered the reference method to assess proteinuria. Its diagnostic value in ovine medicine needs further elucidation. In population monitoring and/or for research purposes, ... -
Effects of peppermint tea consumption on the activities of CYP1A2, CYP2A6, Xanthine Oxidase, N-acetyltranferase-2 and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases-1A1/1A6 in healthy volunteers
(2017)Peppermint leaves are widely used for the symptomatic treatment of digestive disorders. Previous studies have shown significant effects of its natural products on human enzyme activity; however, there is no study available ... -
Evaluation of Heller's reaction and the urine dipstick method alone or in combination to detect proteinuria in sheep
(2022)Background: Urine dipstick and Heller's reaction are easy first-line screening tests for the detection of proteinuria; however, the performance of these methods in alkaline ovine urine is largely unknown. Objective: The ... -
