Highlights from Ethos Discovery’s 3rd Annual Summit
December 19, 2024From December 9-13, Ethos Discovery hosted its 3rd Annual Summit, uniting veterinary professionals across the Ethos network to explore groundbreaking innovations in research. This year’s event showcased studies that are reshaping the future of veterinary medicine, driven uniquely by asking Ethos’ clinical staff: What do you need to improve patient care?
Ethos Discovery stands at the forefront of veterinary innovation, with a science portfolio focusing on addressing unmet clinical needs. The summit featured a range of pioneering studies in areas like surgery, oncology, internal medicine, emergency care, and neurology, all aimed at improving outcomes for pets.
Key Highlights:
- Surgical Innovations: Presentations included cutting-edge advancements in oncologic surgery, such as cryoablation for osteosarcoma management, data-driven tools for assessing muscle mechanics and surgical outcomes in pets with orthopedic disease, and innovations in anesthesia and pain management that will transform patient recovery.
- Oncology Breakthroughs: Groundbreaking research focused on canine hemangiosarcoma, lymphoma, and cancer genomics are transforming the cancer care landscape, creating brighter futures for pets.
- Internal Medicine: Studies exploring the gut microbiome, novel approaches for treating diarrhea in dogs, and biomarkers to predict responses to treatments for immune-mediated diseases offer new hope for managing complex medical conditions.
- Emergency & Critical Care: New research into feline urethral obstruction and novel biomarkers for sepsis are changing the way critical care is approached in veterinary hospitals.
- Neurology Advances: Innovative therapies, like stem cell treatment for Pug Dog Necrotizing Meningoencephalitis, provide new possibilities for tackling neurological diseases in pets.
Ethos Discovery’s commitment to addressing real-world clinical challenges is driving the future of veterinary care. By focusing on innovations that directly impact patient outcomes, they are not only advancing the science of veterinary medicine but also enhancing the lives of pets and the quality of care they receive. The summit was a powerful reminder that the next frontier in veterinary medicine is already here—and it’s making a difference every day in hospitals across the Ethos network.
