    Unveiling the Risks of Leash-Related Injuries Among Dog Walkers

    Unveiling the Risks of Leash-Related Injuries Among Dog Walkers

    Discover how an everyday activity like dog walking could be trickier than it seems, especially for seniors, as we delve into a riveting conversation with Dr. Rodrigo Rosa. This episode casts a spotlight on the rise of leash-related injuries and how they disproportionately affect women over 65. Uncover the nuances behind these statistics, including the alarming rate of serious injuries such as traumatic brain injuries. Rodrigo's insights challenge us to consider the gaps in safety data - from dog breeds to leash types - and the importance of preventative strategies tailored to vulnerable demographics.

    Turning the leash on the conversation, Rodrigo's revelations extend beyond the data, fostering a broader dialogue about the intersection of human and canine health within our communities. Despite the scare of injuries, dog walking remains a low-risk, high-reward activity for most, though surprisingly underutilized by dog owners.

    A Deep Dive into Equine Regenerative Treatments and NSAID Interactions

    A Deep Dive into Equine Regenerative Treatments and NSAID Interactions

    Discover how single-dose nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in horses have no impact on concentrations of cytokines or growth factors in autologous protein solution and platelet-rich plasma as we chat with Kara Brown on Veterinary Vertex. Our conversation navigates the critical nuances of using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in tandem with cutting-edge regenerative therapies, defying the old-school reliance on corticosteroids. Kara, armed with her latest research, illuminates the negligible impact of a single NSAID dose on the cytokine and growth factor profiles in PRP and APS, considering a strategic six-hour window pre-blood collection. This episode emphasizes the delicate balance of medication and therapy in equine rehabilitation, including the dos and don'ts post-treatment and why evidence-based medicine trumps assumptions. Our discussion offers a peek into the considerations veterinarians face and the guidance horse owners need when NSAIDs are part of the treatment equation.
