Fentanyl injections induced a short-term decrease
of vessel diameter in the abdominal aorta and increased resistance in the distal distribution
area of the left common carotid artery. Results revealed decreases in MAP, HR, and body

Serum antibody titers following routine rabies vaccination in African elephants
All elephants had detectable antibody responses following rabies vaccination, although
there was great variability among individual animals in regard to antibody titers, and
antibody titers could be detected as long as 24 months after vaccine administration. Young
animals were found to develop an antibody titer following administration of a single dose
of the rabies vaccine. Age and time since vaccination had significant effects on measured
antibody titers.

vaccination could be performed less frequently than once a year
if antibody titers were routinely monitored

Effects of intravenous administration of tramadol hydrochloride on the minimum alveolar concentration of isoflurane in rabbits
Heart rate decreased significantly
immediately after tramadol administration but by 10 minutes afterward was not different
from the pretreatment value. Systolic arterial blood pressure decreased to approximately

clinically unimportant effect on the ISOMAC in rabbits. Higher doses of tramadol may
provide clinically important reductions but may result in a greater degree of cardiovascular
depression. (Am J Vet Res 2009;70:945–949)
