- PMID 41893715 (2026, Veterinary sciences) — Canine Cognitive Dysfunction and Alzheimer's Disease: Pathophysiological Relationships and the Impact of Glymphatic System Impairment on Neurodegeneration... Canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD) is a common age-related neurodegenerative disorder in dogs that shares several pathological and clinical features with human Alzheimer's disease (AD). In both species, β-amyloid (Aβ) accumulates within the brain parenchyma and cerebral vessel walls and is associated with synaptic loss, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and chronic n *[CC BY — Open Access, verbatim with attribution.]*
- PMID 41824140 (2026, Veterinary research communications) — Bedinvetmab, alone or in combination with photobiomodulation and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, on pain and quality of life in dogs with hip osteoarthritis... Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the main causes of chronic pain in dogs, significantly impairing mobility and quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of bedinvetmab, administered alone and in combination with physiotherapy using photobiomodulation (PBM) and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF), in dogs with hip OA. This was a prospective, rando *[CC BY — Open Access, verbatim with attribution.]*
- PMID 40759687 (2025, Scientific reports) — The genetic secrets revealed from canine fetal fluids obtained in mid-pregnancy... Amniotic fluid analysis is widely used for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in humans. However, its application in canine medicine remains underutilized, where genetic assessments typically rely on parental profiles. This study aimed to explore the potential for uncovering genetic information from canine fetuses during mid-pregnancy and its implications for future clinical ma *[CC BY — Open Access, verbatim with attribution.]*
