Description and clinical relevance of the variable conformation of canine spinal arachnoid diverticula (2024)
Journal Article
De Frias, J., De Decker, S., De Stefani, A., & Llabres-Diaz, F. (2024). Description and clinical relevance of the variable conformation of canine spinal arachnoid diverticula. Veterinary Radiology and Ultrasound, https://doi.org/10.1111/vru.13365

The conformation of spinal arachnoid diverticula (SAD) and their clinical implications are poorly characterized in dogs. This retrospective cross-sectional study describes different SAD conformations in dogs and aims to identify if there is an associ...

Dropped-head syndrome in a dog secondary to myopathy of the cervical extensor muscles (2023)
Journal Article
Grapes, N., Llabres-Diaz, F., Vicent, N., De Stefani, A., & De Decker, S. (2023). Dropped-head syndrome in a dog secondary to myopathy of the cervical extensor muscles. Vet Record Case Reports, https://doi.org/10.1002/vrc2.654

A 4-year-old, male, entire Newfoundland was presented for investigation of an acute onset cervical ventroflexion and pyrexia, 4 days following a hip replacement surgery. Neurological examination confirmed prominent cervical ventroflexion characterise... Read More about Dropped-head syndrome in a dog secondary to myopathy of the cervical extensor muscles.

Canine insulinomas and their presumed metastases are most conspicuous in the late arterial phase in a triple arterial phase CT protocol (2023)
Journal Article
Skarbek, A., Fouriez-Lablée, V., Dirrig, H., & Llabres-Diaz, F. (2023). Canine insulinomas and their presumed metastases are most conspicuous in the late arterial phase in a triple arterial phase CT protocol. Veterinary Radiology and Ultrasound, https://doi.org/10.1111/vru.13278

Avid arterial enhancement is the commonly described characteristic of canine insulinomas in contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT). However, this finding is also reported as inconsistent.
The main aim of this study was to investigate in detai... Read More about Canine insulinomas and their presumed metastases are most conspicuous in the late arterial phase in a triple arterial phase CT protocol.

A case series of 37 surgically managed, paraplegic, deep pain negative, French bulldogs with thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion from two English referral centres (2023)
Journal Article
Jones, G., Cherubini, G., Llabres-Diaz, F., Caine, A., & De Stefani, A. (in press). A case series of 37 surgically managed, paraplegic, deep pain negative, French bulldogs with thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion from two English referral centres. Veterinary Record Open, https://doi.org/10.1002/vro2.61

Background:
Thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusions (TL-IVDE) are a common spinal disorder in dogs, especially within chondrodystrophic breeds. Loss of deep nociception is a well-documented negative prognostic indicator in dogs with TL-IVDE, wi...

Early CT in dogs following traumatic brain injury has limited value in predicting short‐term prognosis (2020)
Journal Article
Lee, C. Y., Llabres‐Diaz, F., Wyatt, S., & Beltran, E. (2021). Early CT in dogs following traumatic brain injury has limited value in predicting short‐term prognosis. Veterinary Radiology and Ultrasound, 62(2), 181-189. https://doi.org/10.1111/vru.12933

Traumatic brain injury is associated with a high risk of mortality in veterinary patients, however publications describing valid prognostic indicators are currently lacking. The objective of this retrospective observational study was to determine whe...

A radiographic measurement of left atrial size in dogs (2018)
Journal Article
Salguero, X. S., Prandi, D., Llabres-Diaz, F., Manzanilla, E. G., & Bussadori, C. (2018). A radiographic measurement of left atrial size in dogs. Irish Veterinary Journal, 71, 25. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13620-018-0137-x

The dimensions of the left atrium in cases with mitral regurgitation are an indirect measurement of its severity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the value of a new radiographic measurement, the radiographic left atrial dimension (RLAD),...
