Martin-Vaquero P, da Costa RC.  Vet J 2014;201:327-332. Transcranial magnetic motor evoked potentials (TMMEPs) assess the functional integrity of the descending motor pathways, which are typically compromised in canine cervical spondylomyelopathy (CSM). The objective of this prospective study was to … Read More

Drees R, Johnson RA, Stepien RL, et al.  Vet Radiol Ultrasound 2014. Companion animals are routinely anesthetized or heavily sedated for cardiac MRI studies, however effects of varying anesthetic protocols on cardiac function measurements are incompletely understood. The purpose of … Read More

Beckmann, Oevermann, Golini, et al.  Schweiz Arch Tierheilkd 2014;156:395-399. Tick borne encephalitis virus (TBE) is an endemic infectious agent in northeastern Switzerland causing mainly meningoencephalomyelitis in dogs. We report a canine case of tick born meningoencephalomyelitis resulting in flaccid tetraplegia … Read More

Haro H, Nishiga M, Ishii D, et al.  Spine J 2014;14:1280-1290. BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Chemonucleolysis has been proposed as a less invasive technique than surgery for patients with lumbar disc herniation. Once chymopapain had been approved as a chemonucleolysis drug, it … Read More
