Mammary gland tumors are the most common canine neoplasms. They account for 25–50% of all diagnosed in bitches. Metastases and recurrences develop about 35–70% bitches following excision. The presence regional lymph node metastases is a relevant factor affecting prognosis treatment cases mammary tumors. sentinel (SLN) first (or nodes) lymphatic basin that receives flow from primary neoplasm. aim this study to investigate SLN with indirect lymphography tumor dogs. knowledge precise drainage...
Mast cell tumour (MCT) is a common cutaneous and subcutaneous neoplasia in dogs. It can metastasise to lymph nodes (LNs), this adversely affects the prognosis treatment. The study aims evaluate SLN mapping of MCTs with radiographic indirect lymphography. Dogs that underwent clinical staging were prospectively enrolled. Lipiodol was injected around MCT or surgical scar. After 24 h, LNs picked up contrast radiographically assessed. Twenty-six dogs 29 included. confirmed histologically, while...
Canine gastric disorders are common in veterinary clinical practice and among these neoplasms require rapid identification characterization. Standard ultrasound (US) is the imaging modality of choice for wall assessment. The aim this prospective study to describe specific B-mode contrast enhanced US (CEUS) features normal, inflammatory, neoplastic dogs. CEUS stomach were performed anesthetized dogs with or without disorders. Gastric qualitative quantitative parameters evaluated on...
In humans and dogs, loco-regional anesthesia is associated with lower peri-operative opioid consumption less related side effects. The combination of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) intercostal blocks can be used to desensitize the entire abdominal wall in dogs. aim this study was evaluate effectiveness TAP bitches undergoing laparoscopic ovariectomy. Twenty client-owned were enrolled double-blinded randomized controlled trial. After premedication dexmedetomidine, methadone ketamine,...
Alimentary lymphoma (AL) is the most common malignancy of feline gastrointestinal tract and may cause variable mild to severe alteration gastric wall on ultrasonography (US) that can be very similar those caused by inflammation (INF). The aim this prospective study establish value B-mode contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) in describing specific features normal, inflammatory, neoplastic diseases species. CEUS stomach were performed anesthetized cats with or without disorders. Gastric qualitative...
Diagnosis of thoracic lesions on the basis history and physical examination is often challenging. Diagnostic imaging therefore paramount importance in this field. Radiology has traditionally been considered diagnostic procedure choice for these diseases. Nevertheless, it not possible to differentiate inflammatory/infectious from neoplastic A correct cytological histopathologic diagnosis needed an accurate subsequent prognostic therapeutic approach. In human medicine, Computed Tomography (CT)...
Minimally invasive surgery is increasingly being used in veterinary medicine. Laparoscopic procedures have several advantages compared with open surgery. These include the magnification of field surgery, reduced post-surgical pain and associated stress, post-operative infection rates, decreased hospitalization time. The establishment a pneumoperitoneum critical step; however, this procedure can prolong operation time, most complications laparoscopic been attributed to insertion devices into...
(1) Background: The double pelvic osteotomy (DPO) is a prophylactic surgical procedure associated with 0.4% incidence of sciatic nerve injury. piezoelectric cutting tool device able to involve only mineralized tissue avoiding neurovascular and other soft tissue. This study aimed evaluate the injury observed in dogs underwent iliac performed using tool. (2) Methods: Dogs DPO were included. Neurological assessment was 6 24 h after surgery then repeated 12 days, 4 8 weeks surgery. Temporary or...
To date, the only method of sampling lung tissue with a high diagnostic yield is represented by surgical biopsies (SLB), which are highly invasive and have risk/benefit ratio. In humans, transbronchial cryobiopsies (TBLC) recently been introduced, described to be less able significantly increase confidence in most patients interstitial diseases. The aim this study was evaluate feasibility TBLC compared SLB small animals. A total 21 pulmonary under fluoroscopic real-time CT guidance...
Stage III laryngeal collapse is defined as the of corniculate processes arytenoid cartilages and destructuration dorsal portion rima glottidis. The primary cause chronic upper airway obstruction, condition often present in brachycephalic dogs. treatment still controversial; patients are generally treated with a permanent tracheostomy. This article reports authors' experience 16 dogs affected by stage subtotal epiglottectomy ablation unilateral cartilage. Before surgery, all underwent an...
The gold-standard treatment for functional tumors is adrenalectomy, and the procedure can be either open or laparoscopic. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) a minimally invasive technique designated small-medium-sized adrenal without vascular invasion. LA routinely performed using three four ports with patient in sternal lateral recumbency. aim of study was to evaluate feasibility two order reduce invasiveness improve recovery. In total, 16 dogs were included two-port performed. Adrenalectomy...
Abstract A pedicled jejunal graft was successfully used to treat a colorectal anastomotic dehiscence, which eliminated the tension on site.
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radio graphical outcome of cats following TPLO surgery for cranial cruciate ligament deficiency. Each cat underwent orthopedic assessment, pre-operative evaluation, surgical procedure, postoperative management re-examination 1, 2, 12 months surgery. Age, body weights, TPAs, meniscal tears, implants osteoarthritis progression were recorded. Postoperative OA score was compared with that obtained 1 year after using a paired t-test...
The aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate the impacts administration via intrarectal route (IR) in cats on their heart and respiratory rates, blood pressure, body temperature, sedation quality compared intramuscular (IM). group (IMG) received 0.003 mg kg−1 dexmedetomidine, 2 ketamine, 0.2 midazolam while (IRG) protocol 4 0.4 midazolam. Cardiorespiratory values, score were measured min after then every 5 up 40th minute. Cats belonging IRG reacted less strongly drug, as opposed those...
Kinematic MRI (kMRI) is a novel human imaging technique that couples the excellent soft tissue contrast and multiplanar capabilities of traditional with kinematic potential. The study's goals are: (1) testing feasibility spinal cord joints real-time kMRI; (2) evaluating quality these studies as new diagnostic option in veterinary medicine. Standard were performed on cervical spine, elbow, stifle seven cadavers. Studies repeated after surgical insult aimed to create certain degree joint...
A novel use of a jejunal graft for the successful repair colorectal anastomotic dehiscence after transanal pull-through procedure in two dogs.
Magnetic resonance relaxometry is a quantitative technique that estimates T1/T2 tissue relaxation times. This has been proven to increase MRI diagnostic accuracy of brain disorders in human medicine. However, literature the veterinary field scarce. In this work, T1 and T2-based approach developed. The aim investigate its performance characterizing subtle lesions obtained with autologous blood injections rabbits. study was performed low-field scanner, typically present clinics. consisted...
Abstract The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes 21 cats that underwent coxofemoral toggle stabilization using Mini TightRope® Fixation System (mTR®). Data were compiled from client-owned with traumatic hip luxation. Each cat same protocol including orthopedic assessment, preoperative evaluation, surgical procedure, postoperative management re-examination at 14 days, 8 weeks 12 months following surgery. Age, body weight, implants...
