• Serum and urine metabolomic profiling in Miniature Schnauzer dogs with and without calcium oxalate urolithiasis
  April 10, 2026 by Emily L Coffey
  CONCLUSIONS: No differences in lipids were identified between Miniature Schnauzers with and without CaOx stones. Distinct metabolic subsets of stone formers might exist within the breed. Reduced N-delta-acetylornithine in stone formers is also reported in human stone formers and might reflect dietary acid load. Acetylcarnitine and carnitine enrichment in the urine of stone formers also […]

  Tail docking is a routine husbandry procedure in lambs that causes acute pain. Studies of tail docking performed between 4 and 8 weeks of age have reported neuromas in the tail stump, which are characterized by aberrant nerve proliferation and fibrotic scarring and represent a potential source of chronic pain. However, it remains unclear whether […]
• How do we counsel patients on short- and long-term complications after hypospadias repair? – A survey study

Better tools, such as improved multimodal counseling guides, could be used to deliver this counseling efficiently and accurately to ensure patients receive optimal long-term care. Future studies will focus on developing educational materials […]
