Scientists make 3D heart scan breakthrough for animals and humans
The University of Manchester scientists have created the most detailed ever 3D scan of a rare form of congenital heart disease.
The ‘walk through’ 3D video for the first time allows a precise anatomical classification of the disease and has important implications on future treatment for many of the heart defects humans- and animals – are born with.
The study, now published in the Journal of Veterinary Cardiology, started by chance when a Japanese veterinary researcher at Ritsumeikan University contacted the team at Manchester.
When the pet cat Dr Shu Nakao had been treating called Mi-ke sadly died, Dr Nakao had not been able to make an accurate diagnosis post mortem and decided to ask for the Manchester team’s help.
Researchers at The University of Queensland are looking for volunteer pet dogs with a specific cancer diagnosis to test a new treatment. A clinical trial.
CHICAGO (WLS) A Chicago woman is desperately searching for her beloved dog after he escaped from an Avondale vet s office Saturday.
She said she had to take her 2-year-old German Shepherd, Toby, to get stitches on his eye, but because of COVID-19 restrictions, she couldn t stay with him and had to drop him off.
She left him in the care of the vet s office located near N. California Avenue and W. Roscoe Street, but said she received a call from the vet around noon later that day telling her Toby was missing.
The vet said they let him out of a cage, but he got spooked and ran out the automatic door.
