Abstract

Two unusual cases of heartworm infection are described, including one of spontaneous rupture of cardiac chambers, most likely due to the progressive increase in pressure within the right ventricle caused by Dirofilaria immitis infection. Another case report describes persistent left cranial vena cava, which interfered with the surgical removal of heartworm via the left jugular vein.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Macrocyclic lactones (ivermectin, selamectin and moxidectin) are effective against patent infestation by minor filarioid species in dogs when administered at the same dosage recommended for D. immitis.

    “evidence suggests that macrocyclic lactones (e.g., ivermectin, selamectin and moxidectin) are effective against patent infestation when administered at the same dosage recommended for D. immitis[116,117].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
