Evaluation of an indirect oscillometric blood pressure monitor in normotensive and hypotensive anesthetized dogs.
To determine the accuracy and precision of an oscillometric noninvasive blood pressure device as a predictor of invasive direct blood pressure in healthy anesthetized hypotensive and normotensive dogs. ⋯ The oscillometric device was not reliably predictive of intra-arterial BP during hypotension associated with acute hemorrhage.

High-mobility group box 1 as a surrogate prognostic marker in dogs with systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
To evaluate various surrogate markers associated with the inflammatory and counter-inflammatory responses with respect to mortality in dogs with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). ⋯ Increases in plasma HMGB1 concentration and the ratio of HMGB1 to IL-10 may predict poorer outcomes in dogs with SIRS. The approach described may lead to reliable prognostic biomarkers and new therapeutic concepts in the study of SIRS in dogs.
