Evaluation of EMLA cream for preventing pain during tattooing of rabbits: changes in physiological, behavioural and facial expression responses.
TL;DR: The Rabbit Grimace Scale developed appears to be a reliable and accurate way to assess acute pain in rabbits, which is almost completely prevented by prior application of local anaesthetic cream.

Risk factors for anaesthetic-related death in cats: results from the confidential enquiry into perioperative small animal fatalities (CEPSAF)
TL;DR: In this article, a nested case-control study was conducted in 117 UK veterinary centres and the overall risk of anaesthetic and sedation-related death was 0.24% (95% CI 0.20-0.27).

Perioperative mortality in small animal anaesthesia.
TL;DR: Knowledge of factors associated with anaesthetic-related death and high risk peri-operative periods could aid patient management and reduce complications.
SPECIAL ARTICLE Risk factors for anaesthetic-related death in cats: results from the confidential enquiry into perioperative small animal fatalities (CEPSAF) †
TL;DR: The risk of anaesthetic-related death in cats appears to have decreased since the last published study in the UK and greater care with endotracheal intubation and fluid administration are recommended, and pulse and pulse oximetry monitoring should be routinely implemented in cats.

Applied Logistic Regression.
TL;DR: Applied Logistic Regression, Third Edition provides an easily accessible introduction to the logistic regression model and highlights the power of this model by examining the relationship between a dichotomous outcome and a set of covariables.

The environment and disease: association or causation?
TL;DR: This paper contrasts Bradford Hill’s approach with a currently fashionable framework for reasoning about statistical associations – the Common Task Framework – and suggests why following Bradford Hill, 50+ years on, is still extraordinarily reasonable.

Evidence-based Medicine: How to Practice and Teach EBM

Veterinary Epidemiologic Research
TL;DR: Some of the lines in some of the Figures are printed very faintly (and in some cases are almost invisible), which was a surprise as the Figures had all printed perfectly well when the galley proofs were examined.

Epidemiology in Medicine
TL;DR: The core of the subject remains essentially simple, and a good epidemiological study should be capable of describing in such a way that all who are interested in the cause of disease can follow the argument and decide for themselves the validity of the conclusions as mentioned in this paper.
