Limited data are available on the causes of hydrops fetalis in dogs. Congenital heart defects may be an important contributing factor. Standard autopsy often fails to provide a comprehensive and accurate diagnosis very small hearts. This study was carried out five French bulldog puppies all presenting with advanced four diagnosed pulmonary hypoplasia at autopsy. The body weight dogs ranged from 142 687 g lungs weighed 4.5 23.6 g. hearts vessels were filled barium contrast, micro-CT scans...
Among the conotruncal abnormalities, double-outlet left ventricle (DOLV) has been considered an embryologic conundrum, and no more than 200 cases have described since 1975. DOLV refers to anomalous ventriculoarterial connections with great arteries arising entirely or predominantly from ventricle. It represents a heterogenous group of heart defects considering embryology, morphology, hemodynamics. can be detected prenatally postnatally by transthoracic echocardiography. This study presents...
This case report describes the surgical management of pulmonary artery banding (PAB) in a cat diagnosed with an incomplete atrioventricular canal (AVC) defect and concurrent muscular septal defect. It highlights use PAB as palliative treatment to manage this rare congenital heart condition companion animals. A 9-month-old European long-haired male presented clinical signs failure. Pharmacological sildenafil furosemide failed stabilize patient's condition. Echocardiographic assessment...
We wish to share our experience in echocardiographic assessment of the course aortic arch, illustrating it with multiple examples majority possible variants. The arch and its branches may be visualized using high parasternal suprasternal views sagittal transverse planes. It is hardly ever visualize entire on a single ultrasonographic section, particularly case pathological variations. Echocardiography should performed dynamic mode, as CT angiography or magnetic resonance, by gradually moving...

Introduction In recent years, there has been tremendous development in medicine, including diabetology. A significant portion of these achievements pertains to pharmacological treatment. However, one should not overlook the advancement devices necessary for monitoring glucose levels, such as glucometers or CGM and FGM systems. this paper, I want focus on how use systems affects course diabetes. Aim study The aim was determine impact (CGM FGM) parameters metabolic control Materials methods...
Abstract Background Hydrops fetalis (HF) is fluid accumulation in fetus body cavities and subcutaneous tissue. The condition has been described various farm companion animal species, including dogs. Most of cases result from a heart defect. Exact nature this defect rarely clarified. Case presentation A newborn, male French bulldog puppy with severe HF underwent full anatomopathological examination to diagnose the primary cause HF. Based on examination, fetal ultrasound, micro-computed...

The authors present a case of echocardiographic diagnosis supravalvar mitral ring (a fibromembranous structure that arose from the atrial surface leaflets) in child with parachute valve, ventricular septal defect, and mild narrowing aortic isthmus. stenosis is typical but very infrequently detected element complex anatomical abnormalities located within left heart proximal aorta, called Shone's (syndrome). Diagnosing an additional, hemodynamically significant anatomic defect during...
Introduction:In this study, we assessed the adequacy of two echocardiographic parameters representing longitudinal systolic function ventricles, MAPSE &TAPSE, in perioperative monitoring.Aims: 1.The assessment and TAPSE during early (4 weeks) postoperative period after surgical correction congenital heart defects infants, performed with CPB. 2. The verification hypothesis, that significant decline observed is not related to global RV dysfunction.For reason, was additionally another...
In the present paper, authors describe a case of rare congenital defect - anomalous origin right coronary artery from main pulmonary diagnosed in 5-week-old infant who was deemed eligible for surgical treatment based solely on echocardiography. Such anatomical abnormalities arteries are subtle and thus extremely difficult to visualize, especially patients whom permanent extensive damage cardiac muscle has not yet occurred. For this reason, diagnosis is usually established when disease highly...
Aim: To summarize our experience in echocardiographic diagnosis of aortic arch anomalies pediatric patients.Materials and methods: A retrospective assessment findings Echo-Lab patients the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Department, who were diagnosed with an anomalous between 2003 2018.Results: The abnormal course and/or its branches was established 115 children aged 4 days 17 years.The following types detected: left aberrant right subclavian artery 42 patients; brachiocephalic trunk 14 arch, 36...
The diagnostics of two the most prevalent lung diseases in dogs, bacterial pneumonia (BP) and neoplasm (LN), are challenging as their clinical signs identical may also occur extrapulmonary diseases. This study aims to identify ultrasonographic criteria develop a ultrasound (LUS)-based diagnostic algorithm which could help distinguish between these conditions. is carried out 66 dyspneic dogs heart disease was excluded using echocardiography. Based on imaging laboratory tests, well follow-up,...
Background: The coronary vessels have been described in various species of domestic and wild ruminants. However, no studies on the detailed morphology morphometry heart orifices ostia Polish goat are available. Materials methods: study was carried out 112 female, adult dairy goats belonging to Fawn Improved White breed, closely related French Alpine Saanen, respectively. Results: In all examined individuals, valves were normal structure. There significant diametrical difference between...
Introduction: Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers in world. There are two forms bladder cancer: non-muscle invasive and muscle cancer. A treatment method for non- intravesical BCG (Mycobaterium bovis) therapy after radical tumor resection. It estimated that half patients will have an insufficient response to treatment. Patients using this type also report side effects more often. Aim study: The aim article discuss latest discoveries when insufficient. Material Methods: paper was...

Introduction The urachal anomaly is a developmental defect, remnant of fetal life consisting patent connection between the dome urinary bladder and umbilicus. It can take various forms. Most commonly it occurs in males, very rarely adults. main symptoms associated with this condition are: foul-smelling discharge from umbilicus, abdominal pain, hematuria, or recurrent tract infections. Imaging plays crucial role diagnosis persistent urachus. Aim studyThe aim study to sentize doctors’...
