Abstract Hip dysplasia represents the most prevalent non-traumatic disease leading to lameness in dogs, which subsequently causes secondary joint pathologies such as arthrosis and arthritis. Diagnosis selection for breeding use radiographic evaluation of ventrodorsal projection hip joint. Early detection treatment can halt or reverse progression. In veterinary medicine, various radiological measurements are applied evaluate anatomical abnormalities. These include Norberg angle, percentage...

The aim of our study was to evaluate, from a histological point view, the effect photobiomodulation (PBM) with combined low-level laser therapy (LLLT)/light- emitting diode (LED) on porcine skin wound healing.Most LLLT/LED healing studies have been performed various types rat models, their inherent limitations. Minipigs are evolutionary and physiologically closer humans than rats.With animals under general anesthesia, one full-thickness incision back each minipig (n = 10) immediately closed...

It has been proposed that digit ratio may be used as a biomarker of early developmental effects. Specifically, the second-to-fourth (2D:4D) linked to effects sex hormones and their receptor genes, but other ratios have also investigated. Across taxa, patterns sexual dimorphism in are ambiguous scarcity studies basal tetrapods makes it difficult understand how evolved. Here, we focus on examining differences (2D:3D, 2D:4D, 3D:4D) common amphibian, fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra). We...

Abstract Current environment changes and global amphibian decline suggest specific responses assuming urbanisation potential of the species. Amphibians are generally considered to be suitable bio-indicators environmental health due their ecological requirements. Therefore, fluctuating asymmetry (FA), a measure small random deviations from bilateral symmetry is used for assessing morphological disruptions parallelly health. We measured snout-vent length lengths five skeletal traits limbs...

Abstract A vascular communication between the left coronary artery and main pulmonary (coronary fistula) was diagnosed as an incidental finding in a 3-year-old female Tatran hound by echocardiography part of preanesthetic evaluation. The history, clinical examination, diagnostic imaging did not reveal evidence trauma or endocarditis which could have led to this condition. Transthoracic revealed dilation sinus secondary abnormal vessel shunting blood into artery. Computed tomography confirmed...

This study compared the effects of butorphanol-medetomidine and butorphanol-dexmedetomidine combinations on echocardiographic parameters during propofol anaesthesia in dogs. The dogs were randomly divided into two groups. In (BM) group, butorphanol (0.2 mg/kg) medetomidine (15 μg/kg) intravenously administered; (BD) dexmedetomidine (7.5 was used. Anaesthesia induced with maintained a constant-rate infusion mg/kg/min). assessed conscious (T

Abstract Chronic enteropathy in dogs represents a significant clinical challenge that often requires innovative therapeutic strategies for effective management. This case study investigated the simultaneous use of budesonide, cannabidiol (CBD) oil and probiotics. Budesonide corticoid therapy primarily used human medicine autoimmune diseases. Cannabidiol is one cannabinoids does not affect sensory perception known its anti-inflammatory properties. Probiotics help maintain gut microbiota...

Noninvasive Doppler ultrasonography (US) examination is a standard method for the clinical evaluation of carotid arteries. Extracranial cerebral circulation includes common artery (CCA), external (ECA), and extracranial part internal (ICA). The present study was conducted with objective assessing physiological normative values describing appearance spectral waveforms arteries in 104 healthy dogs eight breeds divided into four groups according to weight. We also focused on searching...

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine and compare values carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) cancer (CA 15-3) in 50 bitches with mammary tumors 150 clinically healthy dogs. A modified procedure used the CEA CA 15-3 markers human kits using radioimmunoassay method (RIA). Samples collected from extirpated glands were histologically processed classified as per WHO guidelines. mean ± SD follows: control group 0.89 0.79, gland tumor 1.53 1.15. were: 1.52 0.66 2.87 1.11, respectively....

Abstract The examination by Doppler ultrasonography provides haemodynamic information about blood flow velocity in a respective vessel. It specifies high- and lowresistance patterns. aim of our study was to record the a. carotis communis, femoralis aa. renales 16 adult clinically healthy dogs small medium size; characterize types vessels also determine pulsatility index (PI) resistive (RI) these vessels. is high-resistance vessel with pronounced three-peak waveform. gives typical picture...

The most frequent canine perineal tumour is the perianal (gland) adenoma (also known as circumanal or hepatoid adenoma). Tumour markers are substances that produced by body in response to cancer, may be cancer itself. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and tissue polypeptide specific (TPSA) antigens of carcinogenesis, with significantly elevated serum concentrations case some types tumours. In our study it has been proven dogs a (n = 35) had mean value CEA 0.69 ng·ml -1 compared control 150)...

Extreme sensitivity and relatively rapid reaction to environmental changes makes amphibians suitable bioindicators of health. Chemical contaminants, developmental disruptors, ultraviolet radiation, parasitic viral infections, intrinsic constraints are common factors causing malformations individuals. In the period October 2017 – February 2018 we investigated fire salamanders (Salamandra salamandra) wintering in underground roosts Slovakia, Europe. Individuals were measured (SVL, snout-vent...

Abstract This retrospective study was undertaken on the records of intraluminal diameter trachea in 185 dogs, which hypoplasia had been suspected. The relative size measured using tracheal (TD), thoracic inlet distance (TI), (TT) and width third rib (3R), expressed as ratios TD:TI TT:3R. Thirty-five dogs were diagnosed having hypoplasia. Bulldogs non-bulldog brachycephalic significantly smaller diameters compared to predicted values calculated basis their body weight. Radiographs each dog...

Abstract Doppler ultrasonography is method suitable for observing and measuring the blood supply of many organs. Its principle change in frequency wave that moves with respect to source (probe). In a testicular examination, use can also be very useful detecting abnormalities or pathological conditions. The aim just characterize flow arteria testicularis clinically healthy dogs aged 1-5 years. Twelve were included study, which 6 rough collies weighing approximately 23 kg standard dachshunds 9...
