Subject: [ferrethealth] new press releases

There are some new press releases which might also have implications
for veterinary medicine, including for ferrets. (Yes, I checked with
vets before posting this.) Here are the URLs of some:
An entirely new approach to combating some forms of serious viral
infections that is under study:
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-11/bp-nms111808.php
Melatonin as an anti-inflammatory to help prevent blindness after eye
injury complication:
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-11/ajop-mms111708.php
A new route toward predicting immunity with vaccines (and I wonder if
a variant might be useful in conjunction with titer studies but I know
too little to know):
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-11/eu-rds112108.php
Ultrasound used to help break up deep vein thromboses. Having had a
ferret with one that went to a kidney, and with sound already used in
human kidneys to break up stones I wonder if an approach like this may
save future ferrets in her position:

Common determinants of plagues which perhaps might also help better
understand and tackle epizooics:
