The nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) is a transcription factor which plays pivotal role in the induction of genes involved physiological processes as well response to injury and inflammation. Dithiocarbamates are antioxidants potent inhibitors NF‐κB. We postulated that pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) would attenuate In present study we investigate effects PDTC animal models acute chronic inflammation (carrageenan‐induced pleurisy collagen‐induced arthritis). report here for first time (given at...
Abstract The aim of this study was to establish physiological responses Piemontese cows different environmental conditions (ambient temperature, relative humidity and temperature-humidity index). To end, 43 clinically healthy aged 2-12 years were used evaluate the effect on haematological parameters. For each period, ambient temperature recorded by means a data logger index (THI) calculated as indicator thermal comfort for cattle. Blood samples collected at 4 time points under (T1, T2, T3...
The aim of the present study was to investigate effects cloricromene, a coumarine derivative, in rats subjected collagen‐induced arthritis. Collagen‐induced arthritis (CIA) induced Lewis by an intradermal injection 100 μl emulsion (containing μg bovine type II collagen) (CII) and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) at base tail. On day 21, second CII CFA administered. developed erosive hind paw when immunized with CFA. Macroscopic clinical evidence CIA first appeared as peri‐articular erythema...
To investigate the effects of tempol, a membrane-permeable radical scavenger, in rats with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).CIA was induced Lewis by intradermal injection 100 microl an emulsion microg bovine type II collagen (CII) complete Freund's adjuvant (FCA) at base tail. On day 21, second CII FCA administered.Lewis developed erosive hind paws when immunized FCA. Macroscopic evidence CIA first appeared as periarticular erythema and edema paws. The incidence 100% 27 CII-challenged rats,...
In veterinary medicine, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography allowed the accurate quantification of liver, splenic and kidney vascularization in healthy dogs differentiation between malignant benign hepatic, renal, nodules cats based on perfusion patterns. The utility other applications is still under study. aim this study was to develop diagnostic criteria by 8 client-owned adult affected urinary bladder transitional cell carcinoma with definitive diagnosis made cytopathologic evaluation after...
Abstract The present study supports the usefulness of ancillary techniques, such as immunohistochemistry, a valid diagnostic tool in field fish oncology. immunohistochemical patterns observed four neoplasms on individual teleosts belonging to different species are described. Cytokeratin, vimentin, actin, S100, calretinin, and Melan-A antibodies were used. Diagnoses papilloma Bream Abramis brama, fibroma Sand Steenbras Lithognathus mormyrus, schwannoma Crucian Carp Carassius carassius,...
Bacteria of the genusGlutamicibacterare considered ubiquitous because they can be found in soil, water and air. They have already been isolated from different habitats, including types clinical samples, cheese plants. Glutamicibacter creatinolyticus is a Gram-positive bacterium important to various biotechnological processes, however, as pathogen it associated urinary tract infections bacteremia. Recently,Glutamicibacter creatinolyticusLGCM 259 was mare, which displayed several diffuse...
This in vitro study was carried out to evaluate the potential antibacterial properties of canine non-transfusional hemo-components. Therapeutic formulations commonly used for regenerative medicine purposes (platelet-rich plasma, platelet gel, lysate, fibrin glue), considering both leukocyte-rich and leukocyte-poor formulations, but also platelet-poor plasma activating substances (thrombin, calcium gluconate), were tested detect elements with antimicrobial properties. The effect on different...
Results of recent studies indicate that erythropoietin (EPO) produces a neuroprotective effect on experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). It has been reported S-100 protein levels increase in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after SAH, providing highly prognostic indication unfavorable outcome. This study was conducted to validate further the findings as an index brain damage and assess whether treatment with recombinant human EPO (rhEPO) would limit level CSF following SAH.Thirty-two rabbits...
Caudal duplication is a rare type of conjoined twinning. The aim this case report to describe caudal in male crossbreed puppy. puppy was macroscopically and radiographically examined after death. External features included supernumerary limb projecting from the perineum, complete lack tail, anal atresia, double penis absence scrotal sacs. Internal examination showed anomalies involving intestine urinary system. At x‐ray examination, similar that normal right hindlimb but fibula tibia...
Background: Osteogenic sarcomas are rare in rabbits, but cases involving the mandible, ribs, frontal bones, and tibia have been reported. Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe clinical pathologic findings a rabbit with osteosarcoma multiple metastases subcutaneous involvement. Methods: A 1‐year‐old female Polish evaluated for dysorexia, lameness, gait difficulties hind limbs, presence 2 nodules, on left thigh dorsal region. hard swelling also present at base tail. Radiographic...
Cephalothoracopagus is a very rare form of conjoined twins and characterized by fusion heads thoraxes with two separate spines, limbs pelves. The aim this study was to describe case female cephalothoracopagus kitten puppy. most important gross findings involved the external body some internal organs. Radiological features revealed main developmental abnormality head, spines thorax. Authors discuss pathogenic mechanisms condition, infrequently reported in veterinary practice, pointing out...
With 2 figures Summary A case of unilateral hindlimb adactyly is described in a 3‐month‐old female Pointer dog. Clinical and radiographic findings are described. Adactyly or transverse hemimelia rare condition most animal species. In dogs, this has been reported only three times as deformity the forelimb. To authors’ knowledge, congenital pelvic limb here first documented

Testicular tumours are the most common neoplasms of genital system in male dogs. The three main types reported dogs interstitial cell tumour, seminoma and Sertoli tumour. Interstitial tumour is related to presence single or multiple nodules inside testicular parenchyma, it detected by palpation often an incidental finding during ultrasonography examination. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound allows characterisation perfusion lesion reveals micro-vascularisation; however, parameters may be strongly...
Background — Nuclear morphometry may provide useful diagnostic and prognostic information for neoplasms in animals. Most available data have been obtained from histologic sections. of cytologic smears important pre‐operative information. Objectives The goal this study was to compare nuclear morphometric parameters sections spontaneous canine tumors. Methods Mean area (MNA), mean perimeter (MNP), form factor (FF; 2 /4π area) their respective SDs were assessed by image analysis both...
Summary Conjoined twinning has been reported in most of the domestic animal species. Among them, sheep have highest incidence craniofacial defects. A live male crossbreed dystocic two‐headed lamb was delivered from a 2‐year‐old Pinzerita after first mating. After 40 h life, spontaneously died. The important gross findings involved head, whereas examination different organ and tissue sections did not reveal remarkable histomorphological changes. classified as conjoined and, on basis facial...
Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia (NLH) is one of the most common non-neoplastic splenic lesions in dogs, especially old ones, showing a enlargement. More recent studies have been focused on Contrast Enhanced Ultrasonography (CEUS) analysis spleen for establishing normal perfusion patterns and blood pool phase peculiarities focal lesions. The aim study was to evaluate qualitative quantitative CEUS canine NLH, characterizing pattern this pathology 20 clinical cases.A prospective, observational...
Neoplastic progression is influenced by the expression of tumour antigens that activate an anti-tumour immune response. Human medical studies show this body defence carried out in secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) but also directly through organized cellular aggregates are called tertiary structures (TLSs). However, their occurrence has different meanings types. For example, presence TLSs breast cancer associated with most aggressive subtypes. This paper aimed to study canine mammary simple...
