DOI: 10.1111/jvim.15991
Abstract: BACKGROUND To characterize urinary isolates, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) uses an amoxicillin breakpoint for cats based on plasma (not urine) drug concentrations (≤0.25 μg/mL), but a urine-specific breakpoint for dogs exists (≤8 μg/mL). OBJECTIVES… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/vcp.12892
Abstract: BACKGROUND Veterinary facilities might use multiple refractometers and individuals to measure urine specific gravity (USG). Previous comparison studies show conflicting results. Furthermore, the clinical significance of measurement differences and interobserver variabilities has not been assessed.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1123/ijsnem.2017-0383
Abstract: The legitimacy of urine specific gravity (USG) as a stand-alone measure to detect hydration status has recently been challenged. As an alternative to hydration status, the purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.971757
Abstract: Excessive fluid loss triggered by hyperbaric pressure, water immersion and hot water suits causes saturation divers to be at risk of dehydration. Dehydration is associated with reductions in mental and physical performance, resulting in less… read more here.
