An Examination of US Consumer Pet and Veterinary Expenditures, 1980-1999

The veterinary medical profession touches nearly everyone's life, either directly or indirectly. An estimated 58.3% of US households own pets (AVMA, 2002), and most people consume livestock products in the form of meat, dairy products, wool, or leather. The health and well being of all these animals depend heavily on relationships with veterinarians. Veterinarians also contribute to public health through the FDA, CDC, USDA, and numerous other government agencies at the federal, state, and local levels. Issues of primary concern include food safety, biosecurity, and the numerous emerging (and re-emerging) infectious diseases that are zoonotic in nature. Finally, veterinarians have an additional impact through their research contributions. Virtually all of the laboratory animals used in research are raised, housed, and managed under the care of veterinarians, and veterinary researchers regularly provide valuable contributions to the knowledge base in the biomedical sciences. This study was designed to assess the general trends in pet and veterinary expenditures as well as factors associated with pet ownership and expenditures on veterinary medical services. Providing such key information on the sector of greatest economic importance will enhance the probability of sustained economic viability in the veterinary medical profession as a whole.Health Economics and Policy,

Liquid biopsy based on small extracellular vesicles predicts chemotherapy response of canine multicentric lymphomas

Lymphoma is the most common type of canine hematological malignancy where the multicentric (cMCL) form accounts for 75% of all cases. The standard treatment is the CHOP chemotherapy protocols that include cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone, where the majority of dogs achieve complete/partial response; however, it is very important to predict non-responsive cases to improve treatment and to develop new targeted therapies. Here we evaluate a liquid biopsy approach based on serum Small Extracellular Vesicles enriched for exosomes (SEVs) to predict cMCL chemotherapy response. Nineteen dogs at the end of the 19-week chemotherapy protocol (8 Complete Response and 11 Progressive Disease) were evaluated for serum SEVs size, concentration and screened for 95 oncomirs. PD patients had higher SEVs concentration at the diagnosis than CR patients (P = 0.034). The ROC curve was significant for SEVs concentration to predict the response to CHOP (AUC = 0.8011, P = 0.0287). A potential molecular signature based on oncomirs from SEVs (caf-miR-205, caf-miR-222, caf-mir-20a and caf-miR-93) is proposed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating the potential of a liquid biopsy based on SEVs and their miRNAs content to predict the outcome of chemotherapy for canine multicentric lymphomas.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Laboratory of Comparative and Translational Oncology (LOCT) Department of Veterinary Medicine Faculty of Animal Science and Food Engineering University of Sao PauloLaboratory of Molecular Morphophysiology and Development (LMMD) Department of Veterinary Medicine Faculty of Animal Science and Food Engineering University of Sao PauloClinical Veterinary Department College of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences São Paulo State University ‘Júlio de Mesquita Filho’ (UNESP)Veterinary Hospital Anhembi Morumbi Anhembi Morumbi UniversityThe Roslin Institute and Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies The University of EdinburghClinical Veterinary Department College of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences São Paulo State University ‘Júlio de Mesquita Filho’ (UNESP)FAPESP: 14/22887-0FAPESP: 15/21829-9FAPESP: 2014/02493-7FAPESP: 2017/15406-

One health, one medicine

MU offers unmatched opportunities for collaboration in animal and human health. It is Missouri's major public research university with the state's only College of Veterinary Medicine; Colleges of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, Engineering and Human Environmental Sciences; Bond Life Sciences Center; Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Health Professions; and the most powerful university research reactor in the country. The initiative also connects with research and instruction in health care delivery, policy, business models, medical ethics and the culture of healthy living

Forenzičke znanosti u veterinarskoj medicini: interdisciplinarni predmet koji treba specijalizaciju

Forensic sciences have multiple applications in the medical sciences, including veterinary medicine, particularly in animal crime and welfare, and food safety inspection. However, there is no formal specialisation for veterinarians working in this field. There is a current need for formal training and recognition to provide better service to the community, and to ensure suitable basic training for general veterinary professionals working in different fields.Forenzičke znanosti imaju višestruke primjene u medicinskim znanostima, uključujući veterinarsku medicinu, tj. u zločinima počinjenima nad životinjama i dobrobiti životinja, kao i kod provjere zdravstvene ispravnosti hrane. Međutim, ne postoji formalna specijalizacija za veterinare koji djeluju na ovom polju. Trenutačno postoji potreba za formalnom obukom i priznavanjem da bi se pružile bolje usluge zajednici i osigurala prikladna osnovna obuka stručnjacima veterine općenito koji rade na različitim poljima
