Abstract:
In 2018, two active pharmaceutical ingredients were released on the German market for small animals: the ectoparasiticide of the isoxazoline group Lotilaner (Credelio®) and the opioid analgesic Tramadol (Tralieve®). Two established veterinary active pharmaceutical ingredients became available for additional species: the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug Meloxicam (Metacam®) from the oxicam group for guinea pigs and the inhalant anesthetic Sevoflurane (Sevoflo®) from the group of halogenated hydrocarbon compounds, which has additionally been authorized for cats. With the combination of Benzylpenicillin-Benzathine and Benzylpenicillin-Procaine, one temporarily non-available combination of active ingredients was reapproved in new drugs. Additionally, one drug with a new pharmaceutical form and one drug with a higher content of the active ingredient have been launched on the market for small animals.

Cell Division
Though both plant and animal cells divide by mitosis (for non-gametic cells) and meiosis (for gametic cells), they differ in the specifics of this process. Unlike animal cells, plant cells lack centrosomes — an organelle responsible for organizing the spindle fibers and segregating the chromosomes during...
