This study aimed to analyze the anatomy of the forearm muscles of <i>L. chrysopygus</i>. For this purpose, six thoracic limbs from five adult male <i>L. chrysopygus</i> specimens were dissected. The muscles were described by their attachment points (origin and insertion), and their masses were measured using a precision scale.

The deep digital flexor muscle had the highest mean mass (2.34 ± 0.43 g), whereas the extensor muscle of the second digit had the lowest mean mass (0.03 ± 0.01 g). The carpal and digital flexor muscles showed a significantly higher mean percentage mass (<i>p</i> < 0.05) than the others (58.4 ± 2.7%), possibly due to the strength required for hand grip during locomotion on branches and climbing trees.

This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic potential of the serratus plane (SP) block when combined with the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block during the intraoperative and postoperative periods in female dogs undergoing mastectomy. Eighteen female dogs, aged 5-15 years and weighing 4-77 lbs, with mammary tumors staged I-III, were referred for total unilateral mastectomy. These dogs were pre-medicated with 0.03 mg/kg intramuscular acepromazine, an anesthetic was induced with propofol, and maintained with isoflurane. The dogs were divided into two groups: in 10 dogs, TAP blocks were performed with a volume of 0.4 mL/kg, combined with SP blocks with a volume of 0.4 mL/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine intraoperatively, before starting surgery, and in another eight dogs, tumescent anesthesia was performed with a cold solution containing lactated Ringer's, 2% lidocaine without vasoconstrictor, and adrenaline in 15 mL/kg intraoperatively. During data collection, analysis, interpretation of results, and subject follow-up, no group exhibited a response to nociceptive stimuli during the intraoperative period. In the postoperative period, only one dog from group 1 presented with a score greater than 5, and a slight delay in anesthetic recovery was observed in dogs from group 2. The evaluation of parameters during and after surgery, combined with the low need for analgesics in most female dogs, indicated that the combination of TAP and SP blocks was effective for analgesic control.

Research on biomarkers of heart diseases has increased recently owing to their value in providing complementary information to gold standard diagnostic methods and enhancing the understanding of pathophysiology. Novel biomarkers, such as Galectin-3 (Gal-3), soluble interleukin-1 receptor-like 1 protein (sST2), and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), have demonstrated prognostic value in human medicine but are poorly studied in veterinary medicine. The purpose of this study was to determine the serum concentrations of these novel inflammatory biomarkers, along with traditional biomarkers, in dogs at different stages of degenerative mitral valve disease. Thirty-eight dogs were included: 14 in stage A, 10 in stage B2, and 14 in stage C. Serum concentrations of five biomarkers (Gal-3, sST2, GDF-15, fibrinogen, and C-reactive protein), echocardiography, thoracic radiography, clinical chemistry, and blood cell counts were assessed for each dog. Differences in biomarker concentrations between groups were analyzed. Fibrinogen and C-reactive protein concentrations were higher in group C than in group A. Galectin-3 concentrations were higher in group B2 compared to those in group C. GDF 15 concentrations were higher in group B2 than in group A. No significant differences were found between groups B2 and C. sST2 concentrations did not differ between the groups. In conclusion, the novel inflammatory biomarker GDF-15 was measurable in dogs and was elevated in stage B2, similar to Gal-3, suggesting that inflammation and fibrosis begin with cardiac remodeling before clinical signs appear.
