Chronic sinusitis and allergic rhinitis are common conditions characterized by the inflammation of nasal sinus mucosa. While traditionally associated with symptoms such as congestion facial pain, recent research has shown that these disorders can also have a broader impact on vocal function. These usually managed intranasal corticosteroid (INCS) rinses or systemic corticosteroids. We present case 60-year-old man history chronic, recurrent in which traditional treatment caused dysphonia,...

Neonatal cerebellar cortical degeneration is a neurodegenerative disease described in several canine breeds including the Beagle. Affected Beagles are unable to ambulate normally from onset of walking and main pathological findings include Purkinje cell loss with swollen dendritic processes. Previous reports suggest an autosomal recessive mode inheritance. The development massively parallel sequencing techniques has presented opportunity investigate individual clinical cases using...

Proliferation markers are commonly used for prognostication of mast cell tumours. The aim the study is to compare relative abilities Ki67 and mitotic index predict survival in same cohort dogs with cutaneous MCTs. Histological grade, were performed all samples clinical information was obtained by a follow-up questionnaire. Ninety-five included median 1145 days. Survival times varied significantly between categories histological index. Multivariable analyses showed that risk dying due MCT...

Reports of canine ependymoma are generally restricted to single case reports with tumor incidence estimated at 2% 3% primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. While most commonly reported in the lateral ventricle, tumors can occur anywhere ventricular and extraventricular locations. Rosettes pseudorosettes a common histologic feature; however, these features be mimicked by other CNS neoplasms. Thirty-seven potential cases were identified retrospective database search 8 institutions,...

A 16‐year old Warmblood gelding presented with a nonhealing corneal ulcer and absent sensation in the left eye. lesion affecting maxillary ophthalmic branches of trigeminal nerve was suspected. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging identified marked thickening nerve. The iso‐ to hypointense on T1‐weighted T2‐weighted images heterogeneous enhancement. peripheral sheath tumor suspected, however granulomatous neuritis histopathologically confirmed. These inflammatory changes can result severe...

There is a lack of understanding the pathological and/or physiological nature lumbosacral region pain.

Minichromosome maintenance proteins (MCMs) are sensitive markers of cellular proliferation and have been shown to be significant predictors survival in several human malignancies. MCM7 was evaluated as a prognostic marker canine cutaneous mast cell tumours (MCTs). immunohistochemistry performed an index MCM7-positive cells calculated dogs with known outcome. The Receiver Operating Characteristics method used individuate the best cut-off value score predictor survival. Survival analysis...

The diagnosis of canine soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is based on histological assessment. Assessment criteria such as, degree differentiation, necrosis score and mitotic score, gives rise to a final tumour grade, which important in the recommendation treatment prognosis patients.Previously diagnosed cases STS were independently assessed by three board-certified veterinary pathologists. Participating pathologists blinded original results. For intra-observer study, single pathologist six months...

Summary A 13‐year‐old Thoroughbred gelding presented with a 6 month history of recurrent conjunctivitis, dacryocystitis and corneal ulceration affecting the left eye (OS). Treatment had included multiple topical antibiotic anti‐inflammatory preparations, nasolacrimal system flushing an injection methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) (Depomedrone) 1 administered subconjunctivally into lower eyelid. No mechanical cause for ulcerative keratitis could be visualised but digital palpation revealed firm...

Vaginal and vulvar tumors are uncommon in dogs. Knowledge of canine primary clitoral neoplasia is restricted to a few case reports, only carcinomas have been reported. Cytologic histologic features reported the literature seem overlap with those apocrine gland anal sac adenocarcinoma (AGASA). Clinical also recall AGASA, such as locoregional metastases hypercalcemia malignancy (HM). In this study, 6 cases (CCCs), without HM, were investigated by means cytology, histopathology, electron...

Abstract Case Description —A 13-year-old female intact Moluccan cockatoo ( Cacatua moluccensis ) was evaluated because of coelomic distention, presumed to be secondary an abdominal hernia. The patient also had a history rapid weight gain and polyuria polydipsia. Clinical Findings —Ultrasonography used confirm the existence pseudohernia that appeared contain small intestines, pancreas, reproductive tract. Results plasma biochemical analysis revealed hyperglycemia, hypophosphatemia, high...

Abstract An eight‐year‐old male neutered Staffordshire bull terrier was presented for investigation of right forelimb lameness 14 months’ duration. Radiography showed mottled osteolysis the radial carpal bone. Histopathology bone demonstrated replacement healthy with granulation tissue suggestive ischaemic necrosis. Lameness resolved following pancarpal arthrodesis. In humans, Preiser's disease is a condition in which idiopathic necrosis scaphoid bone, equivalent canine occurs. This may be...

Abstract A 4‐year‐old, female, spayed, Labrador retriever was presented with a painless swelling of the left ventromedial eyelid and epiphora 3 months duration. Bilateral patency nasolacrimal system confirmed by appearance fluorescein dye at both nares. Ultrasonography revealed well‐demarcated fluid‐filled structure containing echogenic ill‐defined material in close proximity to system. transconjunctival surgical approach anatomical cyst absence communication inferior canaliculus. The...

To evaluate the effect of syringe size, needle number passes and operator experience on cell yield from tumour fine-needle aspirates, quantity quality extractable RNA.Fine-needle aspirates were collected canine lymphoma, cutaneous mast tumour, anal gland adenocarcinoma, fibrosarcoma oral malignant melanoma using nine different techniques.There was a significant difference in between aspirate techniques for melanoma, lymphoma adenocarcinoma. The application suction yielded largest cells. Cell...

Abstract A 10‐year‐old, female spayed Shih Tzu was presented due to weight loss, increased respiratory effort and lethargy, determined be secondary a congenital para‐esophageal diaphragmatic defect with partial herniation of the stomach spleen. Four days following reduction surgery displaced abdominal organs thoracic effusion developed. Thoracic fluid evaluation revealed cell‐rich, protein‐poor modified transudate neutrophils, reactive mesothelial cells, atypical epitheloid cells which...

A two‐year‐old female Birman cat presented with progressive abnormal behaviour, lethargy and circling towards the left. MRI demonstrated a large, solitary, intraxial expansile thin‐walled cyst, without surrounding oedema or enhancement, in left frontoparietal region. Severe subfalcian, caudal transtentorial foramen magnum herniation were present. The owners declined treatment was euthanased. Postmortem examination coenural cyst multiple larval protoscolices molecularly confirmed as Taenia...

In cooperation with HistoryA 4-month-old 5.70-kg (12.54-lb) sexually intact female Whippet was evaluated late 1 evening by its primary veterinarian because of recent behavioral changes, including being unsettled, vocalizing (crying), and disinclination to go outdoors.At that initial examination, the dog's mucous membranes were cyanotic capillary refill time 3 seconds.Auscultation lungs heart revealed no abnormalities; there evidence respiratory distress.Rectal temperature 37.7 o C (99.8...

Mast cell tumors are found in most organs and tissues with variable biologic behavior dogs. This case illustrates the clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings a dog disseminated mast tumor infiltrating sphenoid bones. A 6-year-old male neutered Greyhound presented 3-day history of acute onset blindness. General physical examination was normal. Neurological revealed mildly disorientated mental status, absent menace response both eyes, bilaterally decreased vestibulo–oculocephalic...
