Epiploic foramen entrapment (EFE) is, based on the number of reports in literature, a relatively important life-threatening cause colic horses that could be prevented by closing epiploic (EF) at risk developing EFE.To describe laparoscopic epiploicum mesh closure (FEMC) technique and its outcome.Descriptive experimental study.The EF 6 was closed with FEMC technique. A diabolo-shaped constructed introduced into omental vestibule through under visualisation standing sedated horse. Clinical...

Piglets are considered to be suitable animal models for predicting the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of test drugs potential use in paediatric population. Such PK/PD studies require multiple blood urine samplings. The goal present study was determine a collection strategy applicable youngest age categories six days, four weeks eight age, as well technique male piglets same categories. Blood collected either by surgically-placed jugular vein catheter (six days old [ n = 4] 2]...

To evaluate the epiploic foramen using laparoscopy in horses previously treated for entrapment to determine if spontaneous closure had occurred.Non-consecutive case series.Seven horses.The was inspected by right flank between 35 and 71 days after successful surgical treatment entrapment. Data were collected on presence of behavior vices, details surgery (time from colic onset surgery, site length entrapped intestine, direction entrapment, compromise intestine resected), time laparoscopy,...

Pediatric drug development, especially in disease areas that only affect children, can be stimulated by using juvenile animal models not for general safety studies, but also to gain knowledge on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of drug. Recently, conventional growing piglet has been suggested as model. However, more studies with different classes drugs are warranted make a thorough evaluation whether pig might suitable preclinical Ibuprofen is one most widely used...

There are no previous studies correlating the anatomy of equine epiploic foramen and its defining structures with laparoscopic images.The purpose this study was to describe precise omental vestibule, quantify dimensions relate these findings images.Descriptive cadaver material images.Thirty-two horses subjected euthanasia for reasons unrelated colic were studied. Two cadavers used make vascular casts coeliac artery portal vein. In 30 vestibule cast a polyurethane prepolymer immediately after...

Desmopressin is used to treat primary nocturnal enuresis in children. Over the years, various formulations of desmopressin were commercialized which sublingual melt tablet preferred pediatric population, despite lack full PK studies this population. A study was performed growing conventional piglets evaluate if juvenile animal model can provide supplementary information complement gap (120 µg) administered 32 male aged eight days, four weeks, seven weeks and six months (each group n = 8)....

Abstract Objective To report the clinical features, outcomes, and prognostic factors associated with surgical treatment of epiploic foramen entrapment (EFE). Study design Retrospective study at a single referral hospital. Animals Horses (n = 142) undergoing surgery 145) for EFE. Methods Preoperative, perioperative, postoperative data surgeries on horses that underwent exploratory laparotomy EFE were obtained. The outcome was assessed by follow‐up telephone calls owners/caregivers. Factors...

Although the omentum remains an enigmatic organ, research during last decades has revealed its fascinating functions including fat storage, fluid drainage, immune activity, angiogenesis and adhesion. While clinicians both in human veterinary medicine are continuously exploring new potential omental applications, detailed anatomical data on canine currently lacking, information is often retrieved from medicine. In this study, topographic anatomy of greater lesser explored depth. Current...

Summary A yearling B elgian D raught horse filly was presented with a history of bilateral, progressive, painful swelling the mandible, fever and anorexia. Radiographs computed tomographic images showed an expansile lesion coalescing, well‐defined cystic pattern at level horizontal ramii mandible. The histopathological findings confirmed diagnoses multiple ossifying fibroma. This report indicates that fibroma should be included in differential diagnosis if lesions jaw are present.

Preventive laparoscopic closure of the epiploic foramen (EF) has previously been described, but methods for EF during laparotomy treatment colic are lacking.To describe epiploicum mesh (FEMC) technique through a ventral midline in horses under general anaesthesia and its outcome.Terminal surgical experiment vivo study.In pilot study, standard was performed 10 experimental three-dimensional expandable diabolo-shaped construct manually introduced into omental vestibule. The incision routinely...

The canine omental bursa is a virtual cavity enclosed by the greater and lesser omentum. While previous representations of this were always purely schematic, novel casting technique was developed to depict three-dimensional organization more consistently. A self-expanding polyurethane-based foam injected into through foramen in six dogs. After curing subsequent maceration surrounded tissues, obtained casts could clearly reproducible way reveal vestibule, its caudal recess three compartments...

Summary Three horses with carpal instability due to comminuted second bone fractures (Cases 1 and 3), fracture of the head metacarpal (Case 1) or fourth bone, ulnar intermediate bones 2) were treated by minimally invasive approach for partial 3) pancarpal joint arthrodesis, using locking compression plates. The cartilage was removed either an arthroscopic (middle antebrachiocarpal joint) a percutaneous drilling technique (carpometacarpal joint). Two 3 plates contoured dorsolateral,...

Summary Diagnosis of caecal intussusception can be challenging. Transabdominal ultrasound is often used as a diagnostic tool in equine colic. Differentiation between caecocaecal and caecocolic might useful the decision process before surgery. The aims this study were: 1) to assess usefulness for diagnosis differentiation intussusception; 2) determine survival hospital discharge after Therefore, retrospective case series (2009–2013) was performed all colic cases with (n = 60) confirmed at...

Summary Brain abscesses and intracranial masses have been regularly described in horses. Treatment often is difficult unrewarding mortality rate high. This case report describes the successful treatment of a cerebral abscess 2‐month‐old female Warmblood foal with severe neurological signs acute onset. Computed tomography ( CT ) revealed 3 × 4 cm mass left brain hemisphere oedema. Craniotomy, using parietal bone flap technique, allowed to be sampled, drained lavaged. Immediately, post‐surgery...

Intraocular medulloepithelioma is a relatively rare tumour in horses which difficult to differentiate from retinoblastoma. The rate of growth this has not been investigated so far. We present case primary intraocular teratoid malignant four‐year‐old gelding that was unilaterally blind at presentation. Repeated examination revealed rapid the tumour. After enucleation affected eye, horse returned its former level performance without recurrence for 12 months postoperatively. histological and...

Summary Background Sinus gas expansion is a rare condition in equine patients, resulting progressive deformity of the facial bones. The sparsely documented veterinary literature. Similar lesions are categorised as sinus pneumocele or pneumosinus dilatans human based on presence absence wall erosion. Objectives To describe imaging findings horses with paranasal sinuses. Study design Multicentric retrospective descriptive case series. Methods Horses computed tomographic (CT) description were...

Recurrence of atrial fibrillation after an ablation procedure remains a major problem which emphasizes the need for improved pulmonary vein isolation techniques.The aim this study was to describe implantation vein-stent may possibly serve as technique in future and examine stent safety follow-up pigs.Eight pigs were catheterized nine self-expanding nitinol stents implanted through transfemoral or transatrial approach into antra veins. After 3 months' follow-up, animals euthanized further...
