Sally Everitt speaks with Barbara Glanemann and Karen Humm from the Royal Veterinary College about their involvement in the research into the clinical features and causes of the outbreak of cases of pancytopenia in cats that occurred in the UK in Spring 2021. Read the transcript  Read the paper

Joining Brian and myself in our virtual studio is Associate Professor Karen Humm one of our leads of our Emergency and Critical Care service as well as lead of or Transfusion Medicine Service here at the RVC. Karen has a keen interest in all things related to transfusion medicine and we thought that we would discuss xenotransfusions. Specifically giving dog blood to cats, this might not be something that everyone agrees with, though certainly something that could be lifesaving. We hope that you enjoy.  Some papers of interest: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31867733/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22983454/ https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1098612X211007071 To cite this podcast as: Dom Barfield.

Today we venture out of the studio and talk to both Stefano Cortellini and Karen Humm that are both heart and soul of our emergency and critical care team here at the RVC about an abdominal trauma in dogs. They have two review articles they have co-authored, the first one has been published in the current issue of In Practice. We discuss the first article and what has changed the way that they approach these trauma patients. We will get them back into the comfort of the studio next year to talk about the next review article and hopefully improve the sound quality and potentially keep the conversation more on track.    Here is the link to the article http://inpractice.bmj.com/content/39/10/434   If you have any comments about this podcast, please get in touch (email dbarfield@rvc.ac.uk; tweet @dombarfield;or use the RVC facebook page).

To kick start the return of the RVC Clinical podcast we speak to Karen Humm, Lecturer in Emergency and Critical Care here at the RVC. Karen was last heard here when she spoke to Shailen about this disease in number 23 of the podcast, two years ago now. As with most of the diseases we treat, prevention is far better than cure. There has been a paper published earlier in the year by groups at Bristol and Swansea University (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26830203) that shows the prevalence can change dramatically depending upon your location. What is it like in your area? If you have any comments about this podcast, please get in touch (email dbarfield@rvc.ac.uk; tweet @RoyalVetCollege using #rvcpod; or use the RVC facebook page).

Angiostrongylosis is a horrible disease affecting dogs not just in the UK but in many other countries besides. The two most commonly reported clinical presentations are associated with spontaneous bleeding or respiratory signs due to verminous pneumonia! In this podcast we discuss this parasitic infection in some depth and I am joined once again by Karen Humm who is a Lecturer in Emergency & Critical Care (ECC) at the QMHA and a co-Director of the Transfusion Medicine service. In the podcast Karen and I were not entirely clear about exactly what the two licensed veterinary preparations are licensed for...I am not sure I am any more clear so here are some links for you to check them out! Milbemax Advocate Alongside this podcast, I have also just published a short blog piece summarising a couple of papers on A. vasorum recently published in The Veterinary Record which you can find HERE. As always, if you have any comments about this podcast, please get in touch (email sjasani@rvc.ac.uk; tweet @RoyalVetCollege using #saclinpod; or use the RVC's Facebook page). Please take 30 seconds (!) to rate the podcasts in iTunes +/- write a review! Thanks. And remember we are now also on Stitcher Radio. PS. In the podcast Karen mentions some parasite that has a life-cycle which as you can tell she finds very exciting! She was keen I shared the link with you so here you go!

Anyone for some blood? Or how about some plasma? Transfusion medicine is a developing field in small animal practice as access to blood products increases - at least in some countries - and no doubt this trend is set to continue. In this podcast we discuss topics such as what transfusion medicine is and what the main indications are as well as some of the practical considerations with respect to administration. We also discuss blood banks and blood donors. Oh, and the small matter of changing our terminology for canine blood types! I am joined in this podcast by Karen Humm who is a Lecturer in Emergency & Critical Care (ECC) at the QMHA and a co-Director of the Transfusion Medicine service. During the podcast Karen also gives us a brief overview of the Transfusion Medicine service at the QMHA.
