The COVID-19 pandemic has been characterized by an unprecedented amount of published scientific articles. aim this study is to assess the type articles during first 3 months and compare them with 2009 H1N1 swine influenza pandemic. Two operators independently extracted assessed all on that had abstract were indexed in PubMed these pandemics. Of 2482 retrieved COVID-19, 1165 included. Over half secondary (590, 50.6%). Common primary were: human medical research (340, 59.1%), silico studies...
Background Hermann's tortoise, Testudo hermanni , is currently on the International Union for Conservation of Nature ( IUCN ) red list endangered species. Reptile medicine relies also laboratory analyses to evaluate health status, but reference ranges hematology and biochemistry variables protein electrophoresis in plasma healthy tortoises are not available. Objective The purposes this study were establish select hematologic biochemical clinically tortoises, impact sex season. Methods Blood...
Abstract Objective To develop a protocol for thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulation testing in psittacine birds using thyrotropin alfa (Thyrogen; Sanofi). Methods Quaker parrots ( Myopsitta monachus ) were randomized to receive an IM injection of freshly reconstituted high-dose recombinant human TSH (rhTSH; 8 parrots), frozen rhTSH (8), low-dose or saline (8). Total T 4 (TT ), free (FT 3 , and measured pre- hours postinjection. Results was completed 31 the 32 birds....
A 4‐year‐old, male neutered rabbit presented for chronic, antibiotics non‐responsive upper respiratory disease. Computed tomography revealed sinusitis and nasopharyngeal stenosis resulting in airway obstruction. Deep nasal culture grew Pasteurella multocida . Airway fluoroscopy, performed with the conscious a standing position, confirmed location of obstruction subtle open mouth breathing. Pharyngoscopy further epiglottic displacement. In addition to antimicrobial therapy, three fluoroscopic...
Abstract OBJECTIVE Egg binding is a common and potentially life-threatening disorder in avian species. The aim of this study was to analyze the success rate associated complications different treatment approaches for egg parrots. METHODS All parrots treated an avian-exclusive veterinary practice during 11-year period (2009 2020) were eligible inclusion retrospective study. primary outcome resolution binding, defined as removal or laying survival at 7 days from presentation. RESULTS Of 150...

Abstract Objective To determine the effects of drugs with potential prokinetic effect through different mechanisms action (metoclopramide, cisapride, pyridostigmine, and capromorelin) on food consumption, fecal production, water intake, urine output in rabbits. Methods In a randomized, blinded, complete crossover control trial, 10 healthy New Zealand white rabbits ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ) received 5 treatments over period weeks between May August 2019. Fecal production (weight number...
OBJECTIVE To determine whether rectal temperature at hospital admission, independently or in conjunction with other parameters, was associated all-cause mortality client-owned rabbits. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. ANIMALS 316 rabbits consecutively hospitalized an exotics-only animal hospital. PROCEDURES Rectal of each rabbit measured admission. Individual variables, including survival up to 1 week after discharge, were recorded. Univariate, multivariate, and sensitivity analyses...
To evaluate performance of a human portable blood glucose meter (PBGM), veterinary PBGM, and benchtop analyzer for measuring concentration in rabbits to the effect sample characteristics on their performance.Observational prospective cross-sectional study.Blood samples from 89 pet rabbits.Blood was measured with PBGM (n = rabbits), (89), (32) compared results obtained plasma laboratory (hexokinase method).The underestimated concentration, had decreased accuracy at high Hcts, lowest total...
Objective-To determine the effect of various UVB radiation sources on plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) concentrations in Hermann's tortoises (Testudo hermanni). Animals-18 healthy tortoises. Procedures-Tortoises were exposed to sunlight an outdoor enclosure located natural geographic range (n = 6 tortoises) or a self-ballasted mercury-vapor lamp (6) fluorescent UVB-emitting indoor for 35 days. Plasma samples obtained from each tortoise first (day 0) and last 35) days study, determined. Amount...
Abstract Small intestinal obstruction in rabbits, although demonstrated to be common, is still poorly characterized. The objective of this study was report features small caused by trichobezoars rabbits upon CT and their clinical outcomes. Rabbits with a diagnosis that underwent scanning were included study. From each scan, location, appearance, Hounsfield units, size (mm), volume (mm 3 ), distance from the stomach, diameter intestine proximal distal it, extracted. Nine All presented for...
Currently, a standardised technique to obtain pulse rate in reptiles is lacking. We evaluated the feasibility of obtaining temporoorbital ball pythons various ages and sizes whether it agreed with heart rate.
To determine intraocular pressure (IOP) in healthy Hermann's tortoises (Testudo hermanni).26 outdoor-housed (13 males and 13 females); body weight ranged from 255 to 2,310 g, age 4 > 50 years.After a preliminary ophthalmic evaluation was performed, IOP measured by means of rebound tonometer both eyes each tortoise. Three measurements were obtained for eye; successive alternate eyes. Each measurement based on the mean 6 values automatically provided tonometer. Statistical analysis used...
The validity of studies that assess the effectiveness an intervention (EoI) depends on variables such as type study design, quality their methodology, and participants enrolled. Five leading veterinary journals 5 human medical were hand-searched for EoI year 2013. We assessed (1) prevalence randomized controlled trials (RCTs) among studies, (2) enrolled, (3) methodological selected studies. Of 1707 eligible articles, 590 articles 435 RCTs. Random allocation to was performed in 52% (114/219;...
To describe a noninvasive technique for sex identification of posthatchling chelonians and to assess its safety in Hermann's tortoises (Testudo hermanni).Validation study clinical trial.15 recently dead posthachling 25 healthy tortoises.Cystoscopy was performed on both anesthetized live chelonians. Dead ranged body weight from 32.4 75.1 g (0.07 0.17 lb; median, 45.7 [0.10 lb]). were dissected immediately after cystoscopy, gonads collected histologic examination. Urinary bladder...
Contrast-enhanced diagnostic imaging techniques are considered useful in veterinary and human medicine to evaluate liver perfusion focal hepatic lesions. Although diseases a common occurrence reptile medicine, there is no reference the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) computed tomography (CECT) lizards. Therefore, aim this study was pattern change echogenicity attenuation green iguanas (Iguana iguana) after administration specific contrast media. An increase density evident during...
Hermann’s tortoise ( Testudo hermanni) is considered near threatened in the wild but, by contrast, it one of most popular pet tortoises Europe. Scant data reported veterinary literature on hematological values for T. hermanni and, to our knowledge, none focused subspecies boettgeri (eastern tortoise). Published reports are based small sample populations, and confusion arises when comparing sampling sites, anticoagulants, counting methods used. The purpose current study was establish normal...
