The reproductive cycle of female dogs (bitches) consists of four stages: proestrus, estrus, diestrus, and anestrus. Proestrus lasts around 9 days as estrogen levels rise, followed by estrus which lasts 9 days when the bitch will accept mating. Ovulation occurs 2-3 days after the LH surge, with fertilization possible 4-7 days later. Diestrus then lasts around 2 months as progesterone levels rise. Finally, anestrus is when the bitch is not receptive to mating until hormone levels change to start the cycle again.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

This
veterinary
drug
formulary
was
initially
prepared
to
assist
veterinarians
in
treating
animals
in
the
Republic
Georgia.
In
order
to
expand
its
use,
this
current
edition
is
written
in
the
Russian
language.
This
formulary
is
meant
to
provide
a
readily
available
and
practical
source
of
drug
information
for
use
in
veterinary
practice.
Medicines
are
listed
by
generic
drug
names.
Other
brand
names
are
also
listed.
This
formulary
contains
a
list
of
pharmaceutical
and
biological
items
and
suggested
doses
for
routine
use
in
treating
animals.
Users
of
this
drug
formulary
should
be
aware
that
for
most
drugs
there
is
a
range
of
acceptable
doses.
An
attempt
has
been
made
to
list
dose
rates
for
the
different
species
in
mg/kg
but
in
some
cases
the
formulary
will
list
it
as
a
dose
range
or
average
dose
per
animal.
Average
dose
per
animal
is
not
preferred,
but
may
be
the
only
dosing
information
available.
One
tablet
tid
for
a
dog
refers
to
an
average
size
(14kg
dog)
a
dose
range
of
15-‐30
mls
for
a
cow
would
mean
that
15
mls
would
be
given
to
a
small
cow
(230-‐275
kg)
whereas
30
mls
would
be
given
to
a
large
(450-‐550
kg)
cow.
Any
confusion
about
dosage,

We
sincerely
hope
our

countries
will
find
this
formulary
useful.

are

to
Xylazine
–
use
with
caution
in
ruminants.
Field
anesthesia
guidelines
for
xylazine:
Ruminants:
Xylazine
IM
or
IV
in
higher
doses
than
listed
above
will
cause
recumbency
in
ruminants.
This
is
useful
to
achieve
total
chemical
restraint
for
surgical
or
obstetrical
procedures.
Get
ruminant
in
sternal
recumbency
as
soon
as
possible
or
regurgitation
or
bloat
(rumenal
tympany)
can
occur
and
be
fatal.
Reverse
xylazine
with
tolazoline
or
yohimbine
if
possible.
Dogs:
Xylazine
will
often
cause
vomiting
in
dogs.
This
can
be
useful
to
empty
stomach
contents,
but
be
very
careful
to
prevent
aspiration.
Xylazine
causes
secondary
AV
nodal
block
in
dogs.
Monitor
cardiovascular
activity
carefully
during
use
in
dogs.
Have
reversal
agent
(Yohimbine
or
Tolazoline)
and
cardiac
arrest
drug
(atropine)
available
when
using
in
dogs.
Horse:
To
induce
short
term
recumbency/surgical
anesthesia
in
horses:
1-‐2
mg/kg
xylazine
IV,
wait
several
minutes
until
horses’
head
is
lowered
significantly,
then
give
2-‐3
mg/kg
ketamine
IV
to
induce
anesthesia.
This
combination
of
drugs
will
give
approximately
15-‐30
minutes
of
recumbency,
making
this
an
excellent
protocol
for
castration.
