A clinical and radiographic study was carried out on 2016 randomly selected Atlantic salmon parr from six farms, which weighed between 55 100 g. In addition, 86 fish marine farms were similarly studied. Radiographically detectable vertebral lesions found in 3.8-8.8% of the parr. The changes ranged a single vertebra showing features, such as demineralization, increased density slight loss structure, to with multiple vertebrae affected by collapse, fusion change intervertebral space that could...

Twenty-four dogs with nasal aspergillosis were treated enilconazole (10 mg/kg bid for 7-14 days) administered topically through tubes surgically implanted into the chambers. Aspergillosis was eliminated in 19 over a median follow-up period of 18 months. Another dog died, but at necropsy there no evidence causative fungus. Two four that not cured had infection periorbital soft tissues. An additional seven received 6 weeks ketoconazole (5 PO) and therapy topically. Six these disease-free 35...

Over a five year period 31 dogs were diagnosed as having advanced gastric carcinoma. The most frequent clinical features vomiting, polydipsia and weight loss. A predisposition to the tumour was found in rough collie Staffordshire bull terrier. In 18 main finding endoscopically large deep ulcer with thickened, irregular rims walls. Fluoroscopically marked irregularity of mucosal surface noted 10 dogs. Pathologically, ulcers thickening stomach wall involvement serosal lymphatics evident 17...

O bjectives : To assess the accuracy of reconstructed computed tomography for imaging canine elbow joint spaces. M ethods Computed scans eight cadaveric elbows were obtained and images formatted in dorsal sagittal planes. Humeroradial humeroulnar space measurements from these images. Intra‐observer inter‐observer variations assessed, as was effect specimen positioning (inter‐image variation). After freezing, four sectioned plane plane. In addition to visual comparison frozen sections with...

To determine the effect of head conformation (brachycephalic, mesaticephalic, and dolichocephalic) on olfactory bulb angle orientation in dogs by use vivo MRI.40 client-owned undergoing MRI for diagnosis conditions that did not affect skull or anatomy.For each dog, 2 indices were calculated. Olfactory an index relative to rest CNS determined measurements obtained from sagittal T2-weighted images.A significant negative correlation was found between values both indices. Ventral bulbs...

A prospective study was undertaken to compare two different methods of measuring the anorectal angle (ABA), balloon proctography (BP) and cinedefecography (CD), as well evaluate reproducibility this measurement using each technique. One hundred four consecutive patients (75 women 29 men) with constipation (63 patients), fecal incontinence (25 or rectal pain (16 patients) underwent both BP CD. The ARA measured by taking lateral radiographs pelvis during rest (R), squeeze (S), push (P). same...

This paper argues the case for increased application of adult learning principles to veterinary education. It encapsulates evidence from United Kingdom, Europe, North America, and Australia explain why it has taken schools so long transform their curricula best facilitate development lifelong skills, such as independent self-directed learning, problem solving, critical thinking. Despite variation in training programs these different regions, identifies common issues-conflicting educational...

Radiographs of 50 cats with no history gastrointestinal disease were evaluated to establish a normal reference range for radiographic diameter the feline colon. Thirteen constipation and 26 megacolon also compared characterize accuracy identify cutoff distinguish from megacolon. A ratio maximal colon L5 length was most repeatable accurate measurement. <1.28 is strong indicator (sensitivity 96%, specificity 87%). value >1.48 good 77%, 85%).

Lightning is a significant disturbance agent in tropical forests, with ecological impacts including tree mortality and influencing forest structure carbon dynamics. Our research explores the environmental tree-specific factors affecting probability of being struck by lightning Afromontane forests. We surveyed 89 kilometers transects across ridges, slopes, valleys Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda, recorded 94 strikes.Our findings reveal that topography significantly influences strike...

Summary Fifteen dogs with nasal aspergillosis were treated ketoconazole (5 mg/kg of body weight, q 12 h, po ) for 2 to 18 weeks. Four whose conditions deteriorated during treatment received less than the prescribed 6 Six months or more later, only 47% determined be disease-free, on basis no fungal growth culture. It was concluded that at this dosage is a useful canine aspergillosis, but effective thiabendazole.
