The effects of hypohydration on central venous pressure and splenic volume in adult horses.
Central venous pressure (CVP) is used in many species to monitor right-sided intravascular volume status, especially in critical care medicine. ⋯ These findings suggest that CVP monitoring might be a useful addition to the clinical evaluation of hydration status in adult horses.

Evaluation of serum NT-pCNP as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for sepsis in dogs.
There is a need for diagnostic biomarkers that can rapidly differentiate dogs with sepsis from dogs with noninfectious forms of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (NSIRS). ⋯ Serum NT-pCNP is a promising diagnostic biomarker for sepsis but is a poor indicator of septic peritonitis.

Effect of experimental endotoxemia on thrombelastography parameters, secondary and tertiary hemostasis in dogs.
Thrombelastography (TEG) and indicators of secondary and tertiary hemostasis might be altered in dogs with endotoxemia. ⋯ D-Dimers are the earliest indicator for endotoxemia-associated coagulation abnormalities followed by decreased protein C concentration. APC-ratio and TEG were not good screening variables.
