Ceramic materials are widely used for biomedical applications because of their remarkable biological and mechanical properties. Composites made alumina zirconia particularly interesting owing to higher toughness with respect the monolithic materials. On this basis, present study is focused on in vivo behavior toughened (ATZ) dental implants treated a hydrothermal process. A minipig model was implemented assess bone healing through histology mRNA expression at different time points (8, 14,...
A composite pain scale for assessing and quantifying in rabbits (CANCRS) has been designed merging the Rabbit Grimace Scale (RbtGS) a including clinical parameters (CPS). Construct validity inter-rater reliability were assessed CANCRS, RbtGS CPS, order to test their potential detect setting. Rabbits (n = 116) either hybrids or purebreds they independently evaluated by two raters, who could be veterinarians (V) veterinary medicine students (S). Score intervals determined four classes (No...
Abstract Purpose Few studies have explored the bone response in dental implant sites prepared using a piezoelectric device, indicating moderate effectiveness enhancing secondary stability and osteogenesis. This study seeks to expand our understanding of changes biological, clinical, radiographic parameters, during initial phases osseointegration with surgery. Materials Methods Two were tibia four minipigs. At time placement (T0), cortex thickness Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) assessed. A...
Urban parks are green areas of cities where families and children spend hours outside. Turtles often inhabit urban parks. However, even if the animals seem harmless, they may serve as both reservoirs or accidental hosts for different serotypes Leptospira spp. is a waterborne zoonotic bacterium relevant public health. Reptiles amphibians play role in epidemiology, transmission, persistence In present study, we observed presence anti-leptospiral agglutinins group freshwater turtles (Trachemys...
Background: The biological factors involved in dental implant osseointegration need to be investigated improve success. Methods: Twenty-four implants were inserted into the tibias of six minipigs. Bone samples obtained at 7, 14, and 56 days. Biomolecular analyses evaluated mRNA BMP-4, -7, Transforming Growth Factor-β2, Interleukin-1β, Osteocalcin sites treated with rhBMP-7, Type 1 Collagen, or Fibronectin (FN). Inflammation osteogenesis by histological analyses. Results: At 7 14 days, BMP-4...
A new instrumentation exploiting magneto-dynamic technology (mallet) proposed for implant site preparation was investigated.In the tibias of three minipigs, two sites were prepared by mallet and drill technique. Primary stability (ISQ) detected after positioning (T0) at 14 days (T14). X-rays computed tomography performed. At T14, bone samples utilized histological biomolecular analyses.In sites, evaluations evidenced a significant increase in newly formed bone, osteoblast number, smaller...
A non-invasive method of drug delivery, intranasal atomization, has shown positive results in human medicine and some animal species. The objective this study was to evaluate the effects compared intramuscular administration, a mix anesthetic drugs pet rabbits. In total, 104 mixed-breed rabbits, undergoing various types surgery, received combination ketamine, medetomidine, butorphanol (20, 0.4, 0.2 mg/kg) by atomization using Mucosal Atomization Device (Group MAD) or administration IM). When...
The presence of bocaparvoviruses (BoVs) and bufaviruses (BuVs) in the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) was investigated by screening duodenal liver samples collected from 183 carcasses, delivered to wildlife rescue centers located northwestern Italy. BoV DNA detected 15 animals (8.2%), with prevalences 7.1% (13/183) 2.7% (5/183) intestine samples, respectively. Upon sequence analyses NS1 gene, two highly divergent BoVs (65.5–67.8% nt identities) were identified. Fourteen strains...
Surgical neutering in pet rabbits is common practice to prevent reproduction and associated health issues. Adequate postoperative pain management crucial for recovery, yet effective methods clinical settings remain underexplored. This study compared the analgesic effects of carprofen meloxicam undergoing surgical neutering. Fifty varied demographics were included, with assessed using Centro Animali Non Convenzionali Rabbit Scale (CANCRS). Rabbits allocated receive 2 mg kg−1 or 1 by...
Incisional hernia is a frequent complication after abdominal surgery. A previous study on rats evaluated the use of Pectin–Honey Hydrogel (PHH)-coated polypropylene (PP) mesh for healing acute hernias. However, there are no studies investigating PHH in association with PP chronic contaminated hernia. The aims this to assess effectiveness promoting repaired and counteracting infection. Twenty Sprague Dawley male were enrolled full thickness defect was made wall. 28 days using mesh, culture...
We describe the seminal characteristics of kea parrot (Nestor notabilis), an endangered species endemic to South Island New Zealand. Semen was collected in full breeding season from 6 birds collection amateur aviculturist. The manual massage technique used. A total 25 ejaculates and evaluated for volume, degree contamination, spermatozoa concentration; motility kinetic parameters were assessed on diluted samples (modified Tyrode's Albumin Lactate Pyruvate, pH 8.2, temperature 37.5°C) with a...
Overall perioperative change of FC and LBM (Fat Free Mass Index, FFMI), in patients treated not with NAT
The use of local anesthetics for castration is both simple and cost-effective, it may contribute to reducing the anesthetic requirements. Despite its common in clinical practice, literature regarding effects intratesticular lidocaine rabbits limited. In this study, nine per group were assigned intratesticularly receive either 2% (0.05 mL/kg into each testicle) or an equivalent volume saline prior elective orchiectomy. Anesthesia was induced by intranasal administration ketamine,...
Ceratophrys cranwelli, commonly known as the Cranwell’s horned frog or Pacman frog, is an amphibian species native to South America. This has gained interest both a pet among hobbyists and subject of scientific inquiry in veterinary medicine. A two-year-old male albino cranwelli was presented exhibiting lethargy, weight loss, anorexia, persisting for two months. Clinical examination revealed fracture localized proximal third left femur accompanied by osteolytic process. The patient...
