Abstract The documented record of ichthyosaurian paleopathologies reveals an array injury‐related bone modifications and instances disease evidenced through multiple clades, skeletal regions body‐size classes from the Middle Triassic to middle Cretaceous. Examples include traumatic injuries, as well a high incidence articular diseases, including avascular necrosis. Forelimb pathologies are particularly abundant (65% total reported), glenoid region seems have been especially prone disease. In...

Paleopathologies document skeletal damage in extinct organisms and can be used to infer the causes of injury, as well aspects related biology, ecology behavior. To date, few studies have been undertaken on Jurassic marine reptiles, while ichthyosaur pathologies particular never systematically evaluated. Here we survey 41 specimens apex predator Temnodontosaurus from Early southern Germany order range absolute frequency observed this taxon a function number examined. According our analysis,...

Computed tomographic (CT) venography of the cervical vertebral canal was performed in six, clinically normal, adult mixed-breed dogs from 14 to 23 kg. After were euthanized and saline perfused, a gelatin iothalamate mixture injected into right external jugular vein. Contiguous, 4-mm-thick CT images obtained with sternal recumbency. Dogs kept same position as for scan frozen approximately -8 degrees C. All post-contrast analyzed using similar bone window level settings. Additional multiplanar...

Gurltia paralysans is a rare metastrongylid nematode of domestic cats that found mainly in the veins spinal cord subarachnoid space and parenchyma. Endemic regions for G. include C hile A rgentina. The ante mortem diagnosis gurltiosis difficult based primarily on neurological signs, epidemiological factors, exclusion other causes feline myelopathies. purpose this retrospective case series was to describe clinical, imaging, pathologic characteristics nine naturally infected with . Imaging...

Gurltia paralysans is an angio-neurotropic metastrongyloid nematode that infects domestic and wild cats, invading the veins of subarachnoid space spinal cord mainly causing progressive paralysis pelvic limbs. The definitive diagnosis feline gurltiosis can only be achieved by post-mortem examination reveals presence in vein vasculature. An early with conclusive results required since laboratory imaging findings are not sufficient. Therefore, purpose this study was to detect G. paralysans, via...

There is currently limited available information, but growing interest, in possible relationships between spatial visualization skills medical students and their academic performance select areas of the curriculum such as radiographic interpretation anatomy. very comparable information on how entry-level may correlate with macroscopic anatomy veterinary exposed to an integrated curriculum. The present study made use a battery two short tests that measure ability: Guay's views test (VVT)...

Gurltia paralysans is an uncommon neuroparasite that affects domestic cats in South America. The authors herein report a case of adult male cat with three‐month history progressive hindlimb paralysis. Neuroanatomical evaluation indicated compromise the thoracolumbar and lumbosacral spinal cord segments. An authorised euthanasia was performed because guarded prognosis. Postmortem examination findings included leptomeningeal vein congestion varicose veins, especially T9–T13 One 11 female G...

Teaching veterinary anatomy has been subjected to changes and restrictions that have promoted the development of new techniques for preserving organs cadavers. The Elnady technique is a recent method conservation tissues. Specimens produced with this are realistic, durable, soft, flexible, but an undesirable feature discoloration In present study, we describe modifications organ tissue preservation. were prepared on theoretical basis technique, at low temperatures longer durations fixation,...

To evaluate nonselective computed tomographic (CT) venography for evaluating the cervical internal vertebral venous plexus (IVVP), define diameter and area dimensions of IVVP, determine relationship between IVVP other components in medium-sized dogs. Animals-6 healthy dogs that weighed 18 to 27 kg. Procedure-Helical CT scans were performed from C1 C7 before after IV injection contrast medium (480 mg iodine/kg) a continuous infusion (240 iodine/kg). Image data transferred workstation,...

Gurltia paralysans (order Strongylida; family Angiostrongylidae) is a metastrongyloid parasite that causes chronic meningomyelitis in domestic cats South America. The geographic distribution of G. includes rural and periurban areas Chile Argentina. However, feline gurltiosis has recently been reported other American countries, including Uruguay, Colombia, Brazil, was also Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain). Feline increasingly detected southern its apparent range increasing, together with an...

The internal vertebral venous plexus (IVVP) is a thin-walled, valveless network that located inside the canal, communicating with cerebral sinuses. objective of this study was to perform morphometric analysis IVVP, dural sac, epidural space and canal between L1 L7 vertebrae contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). Six clinically healthy adult dogs weighing 12 kg 28 were used in study. CT venographic protocol consisted manual injection 880 mgI/kg contrast agent (587 bolus 293 mgI/mL by...

Introduction: Anatomy is considered a cornerstone in human and veterinary medical education, as this basic science discipline provides vital foundation on which to build the knowledge of clinical practice medicine. Objective: The aims study were: 1) collect information first year student preference, use supportive educational tools, 2) assess long-term retention senior students who successfully completed bovine anatomy course. Method: A survey was administered first-year order identify their...

Gurltia paralysans is a metastrongyloid nematode which belongs to the Angiostrongylidae family and presents tropism for veins of subarachnoid space in vivo domestic wild felids causing progressive chronic clinical manifestation paraparesis/paraplegia. The geographic distribution G. includes rural periurban areas South America was recently reported Europe. To date, definitive diagnosis feline gurltiosis still conducted by post-mortem examination spinal cord affected animals. A presumptive can...

Most modern dog breeds were developed within the last two hundred years, following strong and recent human selection based predominantly on aesthetics, with few constructed solely to maximize their work potential. In many cases, these working represent remnants of now lost populations. The Patagonian sheepdog (PGOD), a rare herding breed, is remarkable example such population. Maintained as an isolated population for over 130 PGOD offers unique opportunity understand genetic relationship...

The “Patagonian Sheepdog” is a local working dog breed that was produced by selection from European sheepdogs arrived in the Magallanes region of southern Chile late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Currently, Patagonian Sheepdog most commonly found Chilean (43°12’ S to 56°30’ S), where it plays fundamental role as sheep and, some extent, cattle farming. Dog types may have contributed include Old Welsh Grey other old UK herding dogs. modern has been selectively bred farmers produce...

Gurltia paralysans and Aelurostrongylus abstrusus are neglected metastrongyloid nematode species which infect domestic wild cats in South American countries Chile, but no epidemiological studies on concomitant infections have been conducted Chile so far. The aim of this study was not only to evaluate the occurrence infections, also identify risk factors associated with G. A. urban (Felis catus) from Southern Chile. Blood samples clinically healthy three cities Chile—Temuco, Valdivia, Puerto...
