Trbušna kila u smeđe mine (Acridotheres tristis)

Hernias are often related to breeding, hormonal inflfl uences, or other reasons for space-occupying coelomic masses. This is a diffifi cult problem which is more common in obese female birds. A 2-year-old female common Myna (Acridotheres tristis) was presented to the Veterinary teaching hospital, School of Veterinary Medicine, Shiraz University with abdominal swelling and lethargy because of a cage fall from 2 meters six days earlier. After diagnosis of the ventral abdominal hernia, under local aesthesia the contents of the hernial sac were reduced into the abdominal cavity and the linea alba tear was sutured by a simple continuous suture pattern using Vicryl no. 5/0 in two layers. The follow up study for two months revealed no complications.Kile su često povezane s uzgajanjem, hormonalnim utjecajem ili drugim razlozima nedostatka prostora u trbušnoj šupljini. One predstavljaju sve teži problem u uzgojenih ptica. Ženka smeđe mine (Acridotheres tristis) u dobi od dvije godine primljena je na kliniku Fakulteta veterinarske medicine, Sveučilišta Shiraz u Iranu jer je imala oteklinu u području trbuha i bila je potištena nakon pada s visine od dva metra šest dana prije primitka na kliniku. Nakon dijagnoze trbušne kile sadržaj hernijalne vreće bio je pod lokalnom anestezijom vraćen u trbušnu šupljinu. Poderotina u području bijele linije bila je sašivena jednostavnim neprekidnim dvoslojnim šavom upotrebom Vicryl-a 5/0. Nisu ustanovljene komplikacije tijekom dva mjeseca promatranja nakon operacije

Histomorphometric Evaluation of Superovulation Effect on Follicular Development after Autologous Ovarian Transplantation in Mice

The effect of superovulation by pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) on autologous transplanted ovaries in the lumbar muscles of mice was histomorphometrically evaluated using the indices of number and volume of different kind of follicles and volume of corpora lutea, ovary, and stroma. Angiogenesis was observed after mouse ovarian transplantation on days 14 and 21 after ovarian grafting. After transplantation, the total number and volume of primary and secondary follicles reduced, while PMSG superovulation increased the total number and total volume of tertiary follicles and also the ovarian volume after transplantation. Transplantation increased the average size of primary, secondary, and tertiary follicles. Therefore, primary and secondary follicles can survive after autologous transplantation but their reservations diminished by increasing the time of transplantation. However, number of tertiary follicles and their response to superovulation increased over time after transplantation

The Effect of Propofol Anesthesia on Cutaneous Wound Healing in Rats

Background & Objective: The present study surveys the effects of propofol on cutaneous wound healing in rats. Materials & Methods: 36 adult female Strague-Dawely rats were divided into three groups randomly; in group one propofol (60 mg/kg) and ketamine (40 mg/kg) combination; in group two ketamine (50 mg/kg), and in group three propofol (100 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally. Following routine surgical preparation, 1.5×1.5 cm wounds were created on the back of the rats. Wound size was evaluated daily and then the wound area was calculated by Digimizer software. Following euthanasia on day 21 after wounding, 1×1 cm skin samples were collected for histopathological evaluations and hydroxyproline content. Results: Wound size and hydroxyproline content showed no significant difference in propofol group compared to ketamine and propofol-ketamine groups. Fibroblast content and vascularity revealed no significant difference between groups. Inflammatory cell infiltration in ketamine group, collagen deposition in ketamine-propofol groups, and epithelial regeneration in propofol group were significantly higher in comparison with others. Conclusion: In conclusion, single use of propofol has no adverse effect on cutaneous wound healing in rats compared to ketamine, but evaluation of its positive effects on wound healing necessitates more detailed studies

Istodobna bilateralna ingvinalna i pupčana kila u kuje

A 3 year old Schianlu bitch with a bilateral swelling in the inguinal region and a small umbilical swelling was referred to the Veterinary teaching hospital, School of Veterinary Medicine, Shiraz University. She had had dystocia with her 3 puppies 7 months earlier. Soft, painless and reducible swellings were palpated in all 3 sites on physical examination. Under general anesthesia all 3 sites were repaired surgically. The left inguinal hernia sac contained the entire uterus along with the broad ligaments and in the right, the omentum was found in the hernia sac. The hernia rings were sutured by simple interrupted suture pattern using Vicryl no. 1. The umbilical hernia sac contained some omental fat with a small ring. The hernial sac was removed and the margin of the abdominal ring was trimmed and the ring was sutured in a similar suture pattern. Fluid and antibiotics were administrated immediately after surgery but antibiotics were continued until 5 days post operative. The follow up study for four months revealed no complications.Kuja pasmine Schianlu u dobi od tri godine s bilateralnom oteklinom u ingvinalnom području i slabom oteklinom u pupčanom području dovedena je na pregled na kliniku Veterinarske škole Sveučilišta Shiraz u Iranu. Sedam mjeseci ranije s poteškoćama je oštenila tri šteneta. Blaga, bezbolna i reponibilna oteklina palpirala se na sva tri spomenuta područja. Sva tri područja podvrgnuta su operativnom zahvatu pod općom anestezijom. U lijevoj ingvinalnoj hernijalnoj vreći nalazila se cijela maternica zajedno sa širokim ligamentima, a u desnoj omentum. Hernijalni prsteni bili su sašiveni jednostavnim prekinutim šavom uporabom vikrila br. 1. Pupčana hernijalna vreća sadržavala je nešto masti omentuma, a imala je mali prsten. Hernijalna vreća bila je uklonjena, a rubovi trbušnog prstena resecirani i sašiveni jednostavnim šavom. Tekućina i antibiotici bili su primijenjeni netom nakon kirurške obradbe s tim da su antibiotici bili davani tijekom pet dana nakon operacije. U kuje nisu bile ustanovljene komplikacije tijekom šest mjeseci postoperativnog promatranja

The Effect of Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy on Weight Loss, Insulin and Glucose Levels in Dogs

Background & Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of sleeve-gastrectomy procedure on weight loss, glucose and insulin blood levels in overweight dogs. Materials & Methods: In the current study, 5 overweight dogs (31.6±3.03kg) were selected for sleeve-gastrectomy procedure. Insulin and glucose levels were measured from the blood samples that were taken before the surgery and weekly 1.5 month post-operatively. The weight of the dogs was also measured at the same time. The surgery was performed according to the technique described by Gagner 2009, and the dogs received special diet during the recovery period to end of the study. Results: One dog died due to dehiscence and leakage 48 hours post-operatively. Decrease in mean weight was 6.25±0.44 in the first week after surgery and the weight loss process continued to end of the study. Changes in insulin and glucose blood levels demonstrated to have pulsatile patterns. Insulin levels decreased for the first week, but its level increased in the second week period. Again, insulin levels demonstrated to have decreasing pattern in the following 4 weeks. On the other hand, the glucose levels changed each week and did not show any certain pattern. Conclusion: Post-operative weight loss was observed in all cases but it was not statistically significant. It could be due to limited number of the samples. The glucose and insulin changes were attributed to hormonal changes particularly gut hormones that were affected by sleeve-gastrectomy procedure but further detailed studies on hormonal effect are required
