Music and Sound Modalities to Enhance Pain Management

Journal of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association (2022)

Susan Wagner

Music and sound vibration therapies are gaining popularity in the human health and veterinary fields. The vast majority of work being described in the medical literature is related to the mood-modulating effects of music therapy; however, a recent trend in acoustic research involves pain management. Clinical studies in humans have shown that music-induced analgesia is effective, with or without concurrent relaxation. Nervous system diagnostics are revealing the mechanisms by which sound affects the pain network and how it can be used to return this network to a more normal state. Given that music and sound therapies are cost-effective and safe and can be administered by pet owners, using them for acute and chronic pain patients offers an additional and valuable approach to pain management.

d‐Ribose, A Metabolic Substrate for Congestive Heart Failure

Progress in Cardiovascular Nursing (2009)

Susan Wagner JAMES B. HERRICK Linda M. Shecterle John A. St. Cyr

The incidence of congestive heart failure continues to escalate worldwide, taxing health care systems. Current therapies focus on clinical management. Current accepted regimens have provided some success; however, most patients show progression of their disease. Because of this failure, research continues to explore therapies directed at stabilization of their disease and hopefully to improve the downward spiral. Publications have asserted that the failing heart is energy starved. D-ribose, a naturally occurring pentose carbohydrate and a key component in the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule, has demonstrated an ability to replenish ATP levels and improve diastolic dysfunction following myocardial ischemia, which has been shown to improve the clinical state of patients afflicted with congestive heart failure. D-ribose may provide the necessary metabolic substrate to benefit this energy-deficient state found in heart failure.

Ten year experience of using a novel metabolic protocol in ‘off pump’ coronary artery bypass revascularization

Therapeutic Advances in Cardiovascular Disease (2015)

David Perkowski Susan Wagner Kathryn Muller Joseph R. Schneider John A. St. Cyr

Assessment of both short- and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass using a perioperative metabolic protocol.A total of 975 of 995 adult patients underwent coronary artery bypass 'off-pump' from 1997 through 2006. Patients presenting in cardiogenic shock were excluded from this assessment. A perioperative metabolic protocol, which included the implementation of allopurinol, insulin supplementation, magnesium sulfate, supplemental corticosteroids, milrinone, norepinephrine (prn), aspirin, clopidogrel, statins and β-blockers, was used in these patients.The mean age at the time of surgery was 70.5 years and the average number of bypass grafts was 4 per procedure; 18% (n = 176) of the cases had a preoperative intra-aortic balloon pump inserted for hemodynamic instability, tight left main coronary artery stenosis or angina. The 30-day mortality was 1.8% versus a Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) predicted mortality of 4.8%. Left main coronary artery disease was present in 38% (n = 371) of the patients. No strokes occurred intra-operatively and the postoperative incidence of stroke was 0.9% (n = 9). Incidence of renal failure requiring dialysis was 0.8% (n = 8). There was a single sternal infection. Mean follow up was 65 months with a survival rate of 90% (n = 955). Re-intervention, which commonly involved PTCA ± stent placement or re-do coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), was 4% at 1 year and 11.6% (n = 113) during the 65-month follow-up period.Off-pump coronary artery bypass coupled with this novel metabolic protocol was associated with a low operative mortality and acceptable perioperative morbidities, including patients with left main coronary artery disease. These benefits are apparent at both short- and medium-term follow up.

A sugar for congestive heart failure patients

Therapeutic Advances in Cardiovascular Disease (2011)

Linda M. Shecterle Susan Wagner John A. St. Cyr

The incidence of congestive heart failure (CHF) continues to increase worldwide. Approximately 550,000 patients with CHF are newly diagnosed per year in the USA, which adds to the existing 5 million patients currently afflicted with this disease. Furthermore, there are approximately 3.1 million hospital admissions/year for heart failure, costing over US$23 billion (source: www.americanheartassociation.com). There is no cure for CHF and current therapies try to achieve relief of symptoms, improving a patient’s quality of life, and possibly lessening the progression of disease. Various classes of pharmaceuticals, such as diuretics, beta blockers, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, have been the accepted therapy for CHF [Halawa, 1999]. These mainstream pharmaceuticals focus on lowering systolic and diastolic blood pressure, control of ventricular rate for atrial fibrillation, and decrease volume overload [Baliga and Young, 2008]. Acute achievement of these parameters can occur; however, chronic control is usually not maintained due to the progression of disease.

Chiari-like malformation in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels impacts brainstem auditory-evoked response latency results

American Journal of Veterinary Research (2023)

Lynette K. Cole Susan Wagner Sarah A. Moore Ronaldo DaCosta Eric T. Hostnik

To evaluate hearing loss in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCS), breed-specific brainstem auditory-evoked response (BAER) testing parameters are needed to help assess the Chiari-like malformation (CM) grade. The purpose of this study was to establish breed-specific BAER data and to determine if BAER indexes differed based on the CM grade. We hypothesized that there would be latency differences based on the CM grade.20 CKCS without apparent hearing abnormalities as assessed by the owners.Under general anesthesia, CKCS underwent a CT scan (to assess the middle ear), BAER testing, and MRI (to assess the grade of CM).No CKCS had CM0. Nine (45%) CKCS had CM1; 11 (55%) had CM2. All had at least 1 morphologic abnormality in waveforms. Absolute and interpeak latencies were reported for all CKCS and compared between CM grades. The median threshold for CKCS with CM1 was 39 and for CM2 was 46. Absolute latencies for CKCS with CM2 were consistently longer than those for CKCS with CM1 with the exception of waves II and V at 33 dB. Significant differences were found for wave V at 102 dB ( P = .04) and wave II at 74 dB (P = .008). Interpeak latency comparisons were inconsistent between CM1 and CM2.Breed-specific BAER data for CKCS with CM1 and CM2 were established. The results suggest that CM impacts BAER latency results, but the influence of the malformation is not always statistically significant or predictable.

Pinch-induced behavioral inhibition (‘clipnosis’) in domestic cats

Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery (2008)

Megan E. Pozza Judi Stella Anne-Claire Chappuis-Gagnon Susan Wagner C. A. Tony Buffington

Research has documented immobilization of rodents, rabbits, guinea pigs and dogs by mechanical means, typically using neck clips or inversion ('animal hypnosis'). In contrast, only a few studies of mechanical immobilization of cats are available, although some success has been reported in the literature. Domestic cats may be effectively immobilized by clips placed along the animal's dorsum. We use the term 'pinch-induced behavioral inhibition' (PIBI) for this behavior because it describes both the method and the response, while avoiding the more anthropomorphic term 'hypnosis'. We investigated the effectiveness of PIBI and its neurological and habituation effects in healthy cats and cats with idiopathic cystitis (IC). Although not all cats were susceptible to PIBI and effectiveness varied among individuals, PIBI was useful for gentle restraint in most cats.
