DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-73088-y
Abstract: Brachycephalic dog breeds are regularly asserted as being less healthy than non-brachycephalic breeds. Using primary-care veterinary clinical data, this study aimed to identify predispositions and protections in brachycephalic dogs and explore differing inferences between univariable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jvim.15385
Abstract: Background Heliox, a mixture of helium and oxygen, alleviates airway obstruction in people and improves air flow, and its use has been proposed in dogs. Brachycephalic dogs have naturally occurring airway obstruction where heliox might… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jvim.15575
Abstract: Abstract Background Brachycephalic dogs have abnormal breathing patterns similar to those in humans with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is associated with dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance. Despite the fact that anatomic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jvim.16783
Abstract: BACKGROUND Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), defined as any difficulty in breathing during sleep, occurs in brachycephalic dogs. Diagnostic methods for SDB in dogs require extensive equipment and laboratory assessment. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the usability of a… read more here.

Great expectations, inconvenient truths, and the paradoxes of the dog-owner relationship for owners of brachycephalic dogs
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0219918
Abstract: Popularity of brachycephalic (flat-faced) dog breeds is increasing internationally despite well-documented intrinsic health and welfare problems associated with their conformation. Given this apparent paradox, greater understanding of the expectations and reality for brachycephalic dog owners… read more here.

Morphometry and morphology of rostral cranial fossa in brachycephalic dogs – CT studies
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0240091
Abstract: Hydrocephalus occurs more often in brachycephalic individuals of different species. Detailed analysis of rostral cranial fossa–region of cerebrospinal fluid outflow–is necessary to understand causes leading to hydrocephalus in specimens with shortened skull. The objective of… read more here.
