Saccharomyces boulardii is used to treat acute and chronic enteropathies in humans, but date, no studies have evaluated the use of this yeast dogs. The current study, a prospective non‐randomised, double‐blinded, placebo‐controlled effects S healthy dogs with (CE). Four 20 CE were included. In dogs, was administered for 10 days. Possible short‐term adverse recorded, quantitative stool cultures yeasts performed. CE, or placebo addition standard treatment protocols. Canine Chronic Enteropathy...
Abstract Background Contrast‐enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is used to evaluate vascularity of the gastrointestinal wall in neoplastic and inflammatory diseases. Objective To assess feasibility CEUS for evaluation duodenal perfusion dogs with bowel disease (IBD). Animals Forty‐two IBD 20 clinically healthy dogs. Methods All studies duodenum were analyzed obtain time‐intensity curves parameters. The procedure was repeated 12 2 months after a standardized treatment. Results On CEUS, showed...
This study aimed to define the CT features of colorectal tumors in dogs and assess CT’s role tumor staging. It was a retrospective, multicenter, descriptive involving with cyto-histopathological diagnosis high-quality pre- post-contrast scans abdomen. successfully identified lesions all cases, showing variations such as wall thickening, presence masses, luminal stenosis. also detected lymph node involvement. Overall, this helps us understand both epithelial mesenchymal tumors, emphasizing...
The transgenic LmnaG609G progeric mouse represents an outstanding animal model for studying the human Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) caused by a mutation in LMNA gene, coding nuclear envelope protein Lamin A/C, and, as important, more general scope, complex process governing physiological aging humans. Here we give comprehensive description of peculiarities related to breeding mice over prolonged period time, and many features observed large colony 2-years period. We describe...
This study describes the feasibility of Contrast Enhanced Ultrasonography (CEUS) in diagnostic work-up non-cardiac thoracic disorders small animals. The second aim is to assess usefulness CEUS as a direct guide for sample procedures.Forty animals, 28 dogs and 12 cats, were included study. Thoracic 23 pulmonary lesions [primary carcinoma (14), lymphoma (1), sarcoma histiocytic abscess (1) pneumonia (5)] 17 mediastinal [lymphoma (8), thymoma (3), mesothelioma melanoma carcinomatous...
This study describes the pattern of ultrasonographic contrast enhancement pancreatic body and left lobe using a second-generation commercial medium (Sonovue) in 10 clinically healthy cats. Following administration, microbubbles were observed within splenic artery. was followed by an inflow into capillary beds, providing uniformly contrast-enhanced pancreas at peak intensity (PI). At time PI, replenishment portal veins started increased progressively during wash-out phase. During phase,...
A flash glucose monitoring system (FGMS) has been validated for use in diabetic dogs. However, it is unknown whether skin thickness affects FGMS measurements. The aim of this study was to evaluate accuracy affected by thickness. Fourteen client-owned dogs on insulin treatment were prospectively enrolled the study. divided into two groups according their ultrasound-measured thickness: with < 5 mm (Group 1) and > 2). On days 1, 7 14, curves obtained simultaneously using a portable blood...
Intestinal lipogranulomatous lymphangitis (ILL) is a granulomatous inflammation of the lymphatic vessels intestinal wall and mesentery characterized by lipogranulomas. The purpose this retrospective, multi-center, case series study to report ultrasonographic features canine ILL. Ten dogs with histologically confirmed ILL undergoing preoperative abdominal ultrasound were retrospectively included. Additional CT was available in two cases. Lesion distribution focal eight multifocal two. All...
A 9‐year‐old G iant S chnauzer was referred for polyuria and polydipsia. On abdominal ultrasound, a hyperechoic mass with low color D oppler signal detected in the medial right hepatic lobe. Contrast‐enhanced ultrasound ( CEUS ) demonstrated increased enhancement of during arterial phase, contrast washout portal late phases decreased relative to liver. These findings were consistent primary liver malignancy or metastasis. final diagnosis cholangiocellular adenoma made based on...
The authors report the first case of feline gastric actinomycosis associated with infection by Actinomyces hordeovulneris. A 4-year-old, neutered male, semi-feral European cat, a 1 year history chronic vomiting, was referred to clinic. Abdominal ultrasound examination identified hypoechoic focal transmural thickening loss normal wall layering and hyperechoic speckles at body. Initial gastroscopic showed tumour-like mass an ulcerated depression level greater curvature. Histologic endoscopic...
A 35-month-old female German shepherd weighing 33.2 kg was referred to our department with a 10-month history of sneezing and left nasal swelling. On clinical examination, the dog showed deformity plane in absence any cutaneous lesions or discharge, presented snoring noises during both inspiratory expiratory phases. The patency cavities evaluated using cotton swab test, found be preserved only on right side. Endoscopic, radiographic computed tomographic examination revealed an...
Despite the extreme morphological variability of canine species, data on limb development are limited and time windows for appearance ossification centres (OCs) reported in veterinary textbooks, considered universally valid all dogs, based dated studies. The aim this study was to acquire up-to-date information regarding arm, forearm leg bone skeletally-immature large-sized dogs from 6 weeks 16 age. Nine litters 5 breeds (Boxer, German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, Saarloos Wolfdog, White...
The evidence of mineralizations in the canine liver is usually considered an incidental finding unclear clinical significance, frequently observed small-size old dogs.To describe ultrasound features intrahepatic biliary tree foci mineralization, to assess their relevance and possible relationship with other gastrointestinal pathological disorders.A retrospective analysis evaluating database patients admitted two referral veterinary centers we carried out. All dogs under study underwent...
Abstract Ultrasonographic morphometry of wall layers is commonly used in veterinary patients with suspected small intestinal disease, however published studies comparing this method histopathology horses are limited. This prospective, methods comparison study compared the qualitative and quantitative characteristics using ex vivo high‐frequency ultrasound versus a sample 16 horses. Transverse section images duodenum, distal jejunum, ileum were acquired linear transducer (7–15 MHz)....
Tumors of adrenal and thyroid glands have been associated with vascular invasions-so-called tumor thrombi, both in humans dogs. The detection characterization venous thrombi is an important diagnostic step patients primary tumors for surgical planning prognosis. aim this study was to describe the use contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) thrombi. Dogs thrombus who underwent bi-dimensional ultrasound (B-mode US) CEUS were included. Seven dogs enrolled retrospective case series. On B-mode...
1,2-O-dilauryl-rac-glycero glutaric acid-(6'-methylresorufin) ester (DGGR) lipase activity has been proposed as a faster and less expensive test used in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) compared to canine pancreatic immunoreactivity (cPLI), which is considered most sensitive specific serum available for dogs. Elevations have observed dogs with naturally occurring hypercortisolism (HC) those treated exogenous steroids, complicates AP HC. We measured by DGGR 1,2-diglyceride (1,2-DiG)...
