Computed Tomography Findings in Spinal Compression in 196 Dogs

Spinal cord lesion can be presented as acute, in cases of trauma such as fractures, hematomas and inflammation, or can progress slowly in some chronic diseases.The aim of the study was to identify the sensitivity and specificity of CT examination in diagnostics of different causes of spinal compression in dogs. In this study, different cases with same nature of progressed signs and no findings on x-ray imaging were presented for investigation. All cases were demonstrated for spinal impact sings according to the neurological examination and were good candidates for CT imaging. The study was conducted on 196 dogs, evaluated through CT examination between 2015 and 2017. All dogs arrived with signs suggesting spinal cord lesion of varying degrees, those sings progressed with time but had no evident of spinal lesion in x-ray imaging. Different diagnostics were made based on the CT scans and the cases were divided based on that.For the dogs in the study, signs of spinal compression were evaluated, being taken in consideration the presence of hypo or hyper attenuating material in the medullary canal, integrity of the spinal canal and the vertebral body, the values of A and H index, location of the spinal lesion and presence of vacuum phenomena.Computed tomography examination of the vertebral column proved to be a valuable tool that completed the neurologic examination and show a high sensitivity (94.48%) and a high specificity (87.88%) in diagnostic of spinal cord compression

Radiographic Examination of the Lungs and Thorax Cavity in Equine

The aim of the study was to identify the area and the radiological procedure and parameters for lungs and thorax examination in horses, using a mobile double arms X-Ray device.The study was conducted on 10 horses that were presented to the radiology clinic for pulmonary investigation. The study was conducted using a double arms X-Ray device. The patients were clinically evaluated and for the radiological investigation the horses were sedated and a helper restrained also the patient in a proper position.The mobile arms of the device give the possibility of adjusting the distance between the X-Ray tube and the detector, because of these one or two exposures were enough to examine the entire thoracic cavity. The interstitial patter is more evident in horses that in small mammals given the gross anatomy of the lungs. The radiological parameters were adjusted according to thoracic cavity depth. Radiographic examination is a necessary tool that completes the clinical examination. The up-to-date detectors used in veterinary radiology give the clinician the possibility of a detailed examination of the lung parenchyma and the thorax structures

Calidad del Espacio Público en la Participación Social para el Desarrollo Cultural del Sector C de Huancayo Metropolitano

En la presente investigación se planteó como problema general ¿De qué manera incide la calidad del espacio público en la participación social para el desarrollo cultural del sector C de Huancayo Metropolitano - 2019? y como objetivo general: Establecer de qué manera incide la calidad del espacio público en la participación social para el desarrollo cultural del sector C de Huancayo Metropolitano – 2019. Teniendo como hipótesis que la calidad del espacio público incide de manera significativa en la participación social para el desarrollo cultural del sector C de Huancayo Metropolitano – 2019 En cuanto a la metodología de la investigación que se utilizó fue el método de investigación es científico, el tipo de investigación es aplicativo, el nivel de la investigación es explicativo con un diseño de investigación no experimental, transversal. Se utilizó una población de las 7 unidades sectoriales del sector C de Huancayo Metropolitano, teniendo una muestra de muestra censal para la variable calidad del espacio público y una muestra probabilística aleatoria para la variable partición social para el desarrollo cultural. Se concluye, que la calidad del espacio público incide de manera significativa en la participación social para el desarrollo cultural

Trabajo Práctico de Auditoría

Este trabajo está basado en las prácticas de auditoría que he desarrollado durante el Máster Universitario en Auditoría de la Universidad de Zaragoza. El objetivo del mismo es recoger la experiencia adquirida en las prácticas y explicar en qué consiste una auditoría. Por ello deben aparecer en él explicado que es la auditoría de cuentas, la normativa general aplicable, la labor del auditor, las instituciones públicas relevantes en el campo de la auditoría de cuentas, así como los aspectos más relevantes a tener en cuenta y las distintas fases que componen la auditoría de cuentas. Por último finalizaré este trabajo expresando en un último apartado aquellas conclusiones a las que he llegado durante la realización de las prácticas, y de este mismo trabajo

Hysterosalphyngography in female dogs

Hysterosalpingography (HSG, uterine and fallopian tube radiography) is a medical procedure performed to visualize radiological examination of the female genitalia and to test the permeability of the fallopian tubes. The main problems of the genital apparatus in the bitch are: Ovarian cysts so that the female may no longer be in the estrus or may show signs of continuous estrus, obstructions of the fallopian tubes, uterine and vaginal tumors, metritis, pyrometer

Identification of dorsal cutaneous perforator vessels using angio CT technique

The pig is used very often as an experimental model in plastic surgery. Identification of the correct skin flap require also identification of the cutaneous perforate vessel that irrigate the flap. The contrast medium used in radiology and CT have the capability to highlight the small vessel of the skin

Shaping stereotypical behaviour through the discussion of social stereotypes

In two studies, we demonstrate that small group discussions change the extent to which an activated stereotype affects performance in a relevant domain. In Study 1, female participants were asked why men are (or are not) better than them at maths. They generated their answers individually or through group discussion, and their subsequent maths performance was highest when they collectively challenged the stereotype and lowest when they collectively affirmed the stereotype. When participants affirmed the stereotype through discussion, they used more theories which supported the validity of the stereotype, compared to the individual thought condition; and consensus mediated the effect of group discussion on performance (relative to individual rumination). In Study 2, male and female participants affirmed or challenged the stereotype in same-gender discussion groups. After affirming the stereotype, women's performance decreased relative to their baseline scores and men's performance was ‘lifted’. In contrast, when they challenged the stereotype, there was no difference between the performance of men and women on the maths test. This pattern of effects was mediated by confidence in mathematical ability. The findings support the idea that topical small group discussions can, in the short term, differentially alter the impact that stereotypes have on performance. ©2010 The British Psychological Societ
