Samanta Waxman’s research while affiliated with University of Buenos Aires and other places

... The current appraisal for success is based upon visual inspection rather than objective measurements like those used in ImageJ. 15 These findings further support an argument for the use of image analysis comparisons and objective scoring in foundational dye studies for locoregional development. ...

... The study by Waxman et al. provides information about the intramuscular pharmacokinetics of enrofloxacin in black vultures (Coragyps atratus) to dispose the necessary knowledge to avoid extrapolation from other species and the derived risks [7]. Using previously published MIC values, the authors performed a PK/PD analysis, with cumulative fraction responses obtained after Monte Carlo simulation for AUC/MIC > 30, 50, and 125, and Cmax/MIC for E. coli and Mycoplasma synoviae. ...

... Another limitation is that BP was recorded in a 5-minute interval, so available data may fail to fully capture the exact occurrence of hypotension. Moreover, different methods of BP monitoring were used, including non-invasive and invasive measurements, which could result in disparities in acquired values, as non-invasive monitoring is less precise [36]. ...

... It is a tool by which changes in relative dimensions of parts of the body are correlated with changes in overall size or metabolism [51]. For example, it has been used to scale pulmonary morphometric parameters according to body mass [37] and phylogenetic affinities [52], and has also been used to determine doses for those drugs and animals for which there are few or no dosing guidelines, and has been used to determine drug doses for birds [53][54][55][56][57][58]. But there are limitations to its application in avian species. ...

... There are different types of works in the bibliography involving analysis of aspects related to Didelphis albiventris. However, most of these studies involve clinical, therapeutic and/or anesthetic aspects, such as the studies by da Silva et al. (2017) on parasite infection in D. albiventris and by Waxman et al. (2018) on immobilization of this species. The few papers more focused on morphology of this species are dedicated to the study of non-fossil structures, such as the work of Schäfer et al. (2017) on the structure of the tongue of this animal. ...

... This contrasts with the high proportion of grade IIb breaches at L6 and even more at L7, which are more likely to be associated with neurological problems (Samer et al. 2021). In grade IIb breaches, the entire diameter of the screw is within the vertebral canal and the narrow epidural space, and in this region in the cat (0.04-0.2 mm) is likely insufficient to protect the spinal cord against damage by the screw (Otero et al. 2016). ...

... Additionally, enrofloxacin is less nephrotoxic than aminoglycoside antibiotics in reptiles. The use of enrofloxacin by injection can cause tissue damage if more than 1 ml is administered and it is recommended to be injected at several points with a maximum administration of 0.5 ml (Waxman et al. 2014). Dexamethasone is administered as an anti-inflammatory agent to prevent and treat the inflammation that occurs in soft tissues (Beam et al. 2022). ...

... The dosing regimen for "most species" in the formulary is higher than the PO or SC 15 mg/kg q24 h regimen recommended for Caribbean flamingos [48] and different from the PO pill/pill in fish 15 mg/kg q24 h regimen recommended for African penguins [42]. The various dosing regimens recommended for "raptors" in the formulary is different from the IV 7.5 mg/kg q24 h and IM 9.5 mg/kg q24 h regimens recommended for southern crested caracaras [45]. The common ostrich and greater rhea are also species for which the formulary does not have specific dosing recommendations. ...

Following i.v. injection, the elimination half-life (t 1/2 ) of MBF (13.78 h; as shown in Table 4) was much longer in beagle dogs than in broilers (5.26 h) and buzzards (4.11 h) (Garcia-Montijano et al., 2001;García-Montijano et al., 2003;Anadón et al., 2002;Haritova et al., 2006).
