The treatment of deep-seated tumours with electrons very high energies (VHEE, 70–150 MeV) has already been explored in the past, suggesting that a dosimetric coverage comparable state-of-the-art proton (PT) or photon radiotherapy (RT) could be achieved large ( <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="m1"><mml:mo>></mml:mo></mml:math> 10) number fields and electron energy. technical economical challenges posed by deployment such beams centres, together expected small...
Abstract Pugs are predisposed to the development of deeply pigmented, slightly elevated hyperkeratotic noncancerous plaques. Polymerase chain reaction amplification a papillomavirus (PV)‐like DNA fragment from such lesions suggested that PV may be responsible for them, although predicted virus has not yet been identified. The goal present study was make use pigmented plaques four pugs identify and sequence virus. Taking advantage circular nature DNA, entire viral genome amplified by rolling...
Partial breast irradiation for the treatment of early-stage cancer patients can be performed by means Intra Operative electron Radiation Therapy (IOeRT). One main limitations this technique is absence a planning system (TPS) that could greatly help in ensuring proper coverage target volume during irradiation. An IOeRT TPS has been developed using fast Monte Carlo (MC) and an ultrasound imaging to provide best strategy (electron beam energy, applicator position bevel angle) facilitate...
ABSTRACT A review of otitis externa in dogs and cats is presented. Aetiology, includes primary causes: ectoparasitoses, allergic diseases, endocrine disorders, pyodermas, trauma irritation, contact dermatitis, auto‐immune skin drug eruption, keratoseborrhoeic disease, tumours pseudoneoplastic lesions, as well secondary bacteria yeasts. Clinical aspects are variable but a practical classification distinguishes two forms: erythematoceruminous suppurative externa. Diagnosis made five steps...
The authors report 10 cases of localised sarcoptic mange in dogs. In each case, lesions were to one precise area the skin. Pruritus was present nine and absent one. Affected areas feet (one case), face and/or pinnae (six cases), abdominal skin flank case) lumbar case). types erythema, papules, lichenification, scales, crusts alopecia. Parasites found all except one, which anti-immunoglobulin G Sarcoptes serology positive. acaricidal treatments given lindane, ivermectin or selamectin successful.
Thirty‐nine dogs with severe and/or recurrent lesions of pyoderma were treated marbofloxacin at an average dosage 2·12 mg/kg bodyweight, once daily, for time periods varying from 10 to 213 days. Forty‐seven strains bacteria, isolated 34 cultures, tested sensitivity various antibiotics. At day 0, no resistance was found, but one refractory case, a strain Staphylococcus intermedius resistant marbofloxacin, cultured 28. Thirty‐three (84·6 per cent) showed excellent response (cure), (2·6 clear...
The efficacy of oral co‐amoxyclav, administered twice daily for up to 12 weeks either at the manufacturer's dose rate 12.5 mg/kg or 25.0 mg/kg, in curing lesions canine foiliculitis, furunculosis and celiulitis was compared a blind study. A total 97 dogs entered trial 67 completed it. There no significant difference cure duration therapy. folliculitis were cured 91 5 per cent cases, mean period 25.3 days. Furunculosis respectively 87.5 60.0 dogs, periods 37.6 44.7 standard very effective...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy cephalexin intermittent therapy 2 days a week (weekend therapy) in prevention relapses recurrent idiopathic superficial or deep pyoderma dogs. Twenty‐eight dogs were entered into study. A diagnosis chronic made based on: (1) history, including at least two previous cured 12 months before inclusion; (2) clinical signs without underlying skin disease on presentation; and (3) appropriate diagnostic tests (compatible cytological examination...
This study evaluated the benefit of Allermyl ® shampoo and lotion in alleviating signs atopic dermatitis dogs. After treatment previous infections, 35 dogs diagnosed with according to Prelaud's criteria were included study. Three improved on prior elimination diet trials, but not completely controlled. The first underwent a 3‐week antiparasitic therapeutic trial period (permethrin spray once every 7 days acaricidal medication). Dogs whose lesions pruritus did improve entered topical...
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and aetiological aspects contact dermatitis scrotum in dogs. Methods: medical records 13 dogs with suspected scrotal were retrospectively included study. For each case, historical findings, results physical dermatological examination avoidance tests as well follow-up included. Results re-exposure patch also when available. Results: Avoidance various substances such floor detergents, bleach, cement, laundry detergent plastic fabric...
It has been postulated that atopic dogs show a predominant Th2‐type response associated with overexpression of IL‐4 and increased secretion IgE. In pilot, open uncontrolled study, 20 confirmed dermatitis were given Virbagen Omega ® , feline recombinant omega interferon (rfeIFN‐ω), to ascertain whether this type‐1 cytokine could modulate the Th2‐dominated response. Dogs received rfeIFN‐ω as monotherapy at dosage 1 MU/kg subcutaneously, three times per week for 3 weeks. Flea control use...
Scleroderma is a rare chronic disease of connective tissues, involving the skin and/or internal organs in humans, and rarely described dog. A case reported localised scleroderma cat which presented with two well delineated alopecic, sclerotic, raised shiny lesions on trunk. Diagnosis was made by histopathological examination biopsies showed replacement all dermal components dense thick collagen bundles. No therapy instituted spontaneous recovery occurred three months later. Clinical aspects...
Background: Pancreatic cancer, with its poor prognosis, is frequently diagnosed in elderly patients who may be ineligible for surgery or chemoradiation due to age comorbidities. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) offers a targeted approach by delivering precise, high-dose radiation limited volume few fractions. This study aims evaluate the efficacy and safety of SBRT pancreatic cancer patients. Methods: Patients received using Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy schedules five dose fractions...
