To determine MRI characteristics of the skulls and brains sheep with chronic cerebral coenurosis (CC) caused by naturally acquired Taenia multiceps infection.33 CC 10 healthy control sheep.Sheep underwent head. Volumes cranial cavity rostral caudal fossas were determined. For CC-affected sheep, number, location, volume T cysts determined percentage volumes in calculated. Focal diffuse abnormalities bones identified. Brain edema hemorrhage signs increased pressure (ICP) images...
To evaluate the effects of iso-osmolar doses 18% mannitol and 3% sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions in decreasing intracranial pressure (ICP) animals with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).Prospective uncontrolled interventional study.Veterinary university teaching hospital.Two cats 1 dog TBI a modified Glasgow Coma Scale score ≤8 after hemodynamic stabilization, magnetic resonance imaging changes suggestive hypertension.Animals were surgically instrumented for direct ICP measurement, then...
Angiostrongylus vasorum is a nematode living in the pulmonary arteries of canids. Infected dogs develop severe lesions which can potentially lead to hypertension (PH). However, reports PH natural infected are scant. One possible causes low prevalence A. vasorum-infected could be establishment large diameter intrapulmonary arteriovenous anastomoses (IPAVAs), attenuate vascular resistance, thus reducing arterial pressure. The present report describes pressure (PAP) response infection two dogs,...
This survey describes the evolution in vivo of Coenurus cerebralis small ruminants. At presentation, neurological signs and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) features were suggestive multifocal or diffuse inflammatory reaction. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) captured transition between invasive quiescent phase infection, revealing concurrent presence meningitis cysts. During phase, all animals, symptoms disappeared, was unremarkable while cysts grew progressively. Subsequently, onset coincided...
Diagnosing high intracranial pressure by clinical and diagnostic imaging is particularly challenging for chronic or slow-growing lesions. The aim of this prospective case-control study to determine whether the neuroscore brain magnetic resonance (MRI) are related direct measurement in sheep affected lesions due cerebral coenurosis (Coenurus cerebralis). Seventeen 10 control were included. All animals underwent a neurological examination, MRI brain, pressure. severity signs findings scored....
Objectives The objectives of this study were to test: (1) the repeatability ultrasonographic examination optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in cat; (2) association between ONSD and age, sex body weight healthy cats; (3) difference cats those suffering from presumed intracranial hypertension (ICH). Methods This had a prospective, blinded, observational cross-sectional design. Two groups animals considered: (group A) with diagnosis ICH B). was evaluated, measured compared two via an...
Coenurosis, a neurological parasitic infection of ruminants caused by the larval stage Taenia multiceps, is commonly reported in Sardinia, most representative region for ovine population Italy. Chronic form appears as consequence cyst development, frequently brain and spinal cord. Diagnostic suspect coenurosis based on physical examination. The aim this article to describe physical, biochemical cytological aspects cisternal cerebrospinal fluid 24 sheep with chronic evaluate whether these...
In this study we describe a case of neurological leishmaniasis in dog, reported an endemic area, with signs multifocal intracranial lesions involving the vestibular system and cerebellum. Serum biochemistry revealed decrease albumin-globulin ratio caused by increase alfa2-, beta-, gamma- globulin, while antibody titers were highly positive for Leishmania spp. Magnetic resonance images brain consistent granulomatous ammation/infection. Cerebrospinal fluid marked mononuclear pleocytosis was to...
Progressive ethmoid hematoma is frequently reported among the pathologies of upper airways in horses. While several hypotheses have been proposed such as repeated trauma, inflammatory processes and/or chronic infections, congenital phenomena, complication hemangiomas, and neoplastic processes, aetiology this condition yet unknown. Clinical symptoms are non-specific includes haemorrhagic nasal discharge, respiratory noise not related to physical exercise and, most severe cases, phenomena...
Objective-To design and test a motion analysis protocol for the gait of adult German Shepherd (GS) dogs with focus in analyses their back movements. Animals-Eight clinically healthy large-sized GS (age, 4 ± 1.3 years; weight, 38.8 4.2 kg). Procedures-A six-camera stereo-photogrammetric system two force platforms were used data acquisition. Experimental acquisition sessions consisted static trials. During trials, each dog walked along 6 m long walkway at self-selected speed total six cycles...
We describe the development of a new surgical procedure to be used in treatment disruptive brachial plexus (BP) lesions. It is centered on an artificial device designed assist nerve regeneration by providing confined and protected environment. Nerve fibers can repair inside device, while adverse massive scar-tissue formation limited outside device. Steps were (1) definition rationale, (2) design (3) choice vivo translational model, (4)refinement procedure, (5) performance pilot study as...
Abstract A 7‐year‐old mixed breed spayed bitch (body weight: 10.6 kg) was presented with a history of intermittent episodes seizures and untreated limb fracture. Appetite loss, nervousness, lateral recumbency, fasciculations, ataxia poor nutritional condition were found. Venous blood gas analysis highlighted normal acid‐base balance severe low ionized calcium (0.58 mEq/L [range 1.13–1.32 mEq/L]). Marked total hypocalcaemia (6.4 mg/dL 8–10] or 1.6 mM [range: 2–2.5]) associated...
