Open partial nephrectomy has emerged as the standard of care in management renal tumors smaller than 4 cm. While laparoscopic radical been shown to be comparable open with respect long-term outcomes, important questions remain unanswered regarding oncological efficacy nephrectomy. We examined practice patterns and pathological outcomes following nephrectomy.A survey was sent academic medical centers United States Europe performing The total number nephrectomies, positive margins, indications...
Contents This study was conducted to evaluate clinical efficacy of deslorelin for inhibiting reproduction in the bitch. Ten adult healthy bitches or with mammary neoplasia which owners were requesting suppression cyclicity without performing gonadectomy administered a 4.7‐ 9.4‐mg implant subcutaneously. The first anoestrus (n = 5) dioestrus 5). Treatment repeated every 5 months as long necessary based on situation dog and owner’s desires. Some implanted came heat within 4–15 days after...
Contents The purpose of this study was to define (i) the interval between treatment and sterility, (ii) semen quality in male dogs administered a 4.7‐mg deslorelin implant. Six healthy, adult various breeds body weights were implanted with (Suprelorin, Virbac) followed every 2 weeks blood collections. Semen remained stable or even improved during first month following then showed progressive decline until end study, except for sperm morphology, which unaffected by treatment. Complete...
ProAKAP4 is a sperm structural protein involved in motility, capacitation, and fertility. Previous studies suggested it as suitable marker for canine evaluation. Our study aimed to assess proAKAP4 concentration variations among different ejaculates collected from the same dogs. Fourteen male dogs 12 breeds, 1–14 years old 6.9–95 kg bodyweight, underwent semen collection at least twice (1–4 times) during or days. Sperm concentration, morphology, total (TM%), progressive motility (PM%) were...
Abstract Background Surgical sterilization is the most effective method of contraception for dogs. It also prevents pyometra and reduces risk mammary tumour development. However, this procedure has negative effects, such as urinary incontinence. Steroid hormone deprivation following gonadectomy could affect canine vaginal mucosa conditions microbial community colonizing tract. This hypothesis was tested by comparing cytology two groups bitches, including 11 in anoestrus 10 sterilized bitches...
Objectives Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists like deslorelin are being increasingly used in tom cats for their efficacy controlling reproductive behaviour and fertility. Deslorelin implants have been widely available Europe since 2008. Little, if anything, is known about the interval between treatment onset of sterility, as well semen quality, after cats. The purpose this study was to investigate quality sterility treated with a 9.4 mg implant. Methods Fifteen healthy adult were...
Abstract Although hydrolysed albumin and hordein derived from barley are independently capable of stabilising foams in model beer solutions, when both present together, the net foam stability is less than anticipated. In particular, it seems that hordein, even an unhydrolysed state, interferes with ability albumin‐derived polypeptides to stabilise foam. It appears, therefore, observed a product such as not only dependent on absolute level individual foam‐stabilising but also relative...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) strains have been isolated from dogs with increasing frequency; prolonged or excessive use of antimicrobials is associated the selection MRSP, and misuse frequent in breeding kennels. This study was carried out two kennels (A B) which we had MRSP 2008: aim to assess colonization previously positive bitches other sharing same environment genetic profile both old new [spa typing, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing...
This study aimed to examine tinnitus prevalence in patients with different types of headache and the relationship between pericranial muscle tenderness cervical scores.A cross-sectional was conducted 1251 migraine and/or myogenous pain, arthrogenous temporomandibular joint disorders tension-type headache. Standardised palpation muscles carried out univariable multivariable analysis used measure odds ratio suffering by diagnoses muscular grade.A showed that scores, sex, age were associated...
The objective of this study was to assess duration efficacy, side effects and return fertility following use the 9.4 mg deslorelin implant (Suprelorin 12; Virbac) in cats, test whether efficacy action are influenced by implantation site (interscapular vs periumbilical).
Contents Clinical investigation of canine testicular function is complicated by the difficulty in evaluation seminiferous tubules. Until recently, biopsy was only diagnostic option for dogs with persistent oligo/azoospermia. In human andrology, fine needle aspiration (TFNA) currently considered a useful method azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia, has long replaced classical to evaluate spermatogenesis. order verify its efficacy clinical approach oligo‐ or azoospermia, TFNA performed seven...
Objectives The purpose of this study was to assess efficacy deslorelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist marketed in Europe for the control male dog reproduction, postponement puberty queens. Methods Nine prepubertal queens aged 3–9 months were selected study; their general and reproductive health checked through clinical, haematological, vaginal cytology hormonal tests. Following treatment with 4.7 mg deslorelin implant, each cat received monthly clinical examination blood...
