Estudio experimental comparativo de la analgesia intraoperatoria con remifentanilo en el perro

En este artículo se comparan las propiedades analgésicas del remifentanilo y el fentanilo y se estudian la estabilidad cardiovascular, respiratoria y calidad d ela recuperción en perros anestesiados 11 Beagle con medetomidina, propofol, isoflurano y atracurio. Los analgésicos empleados fueron fentanilo, remifentanilo y un placebo. Los resultados muestran menores necesidades de anestésico con ambos opiodes, mejor estabilidad cardiovascular y menores tiempos de recuperación con remifentanilo. Ambos fármacos proporcionan buena calidad analgésica y recuperación.Veterinari

Biomechanic characteristics of gait of four breeds of dogs with different conformations at walk on a treadmill / José M. Vilar ... [et al.].

Este artículo se encuentra disponible en la siguiente URL: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09712119.2015.1031778Principle of ‘dynamic similarity’ is frequently applied in biomechanic research as a tool to extrapolate data between animals from the same species, but, in dogs, different breeds entail different conformations. For that reason, comparison of dynamic parameters among dogs of different breeds should not be only based in weight and relative velocity. By means of the use of force platform and high-speed videography in 12 dogs corresponding with four breeds of different conformations, we showed how most of kinetic and kinematic variables are highly independent of weight or relative velocity and other factors as morphometric values and ratios are determinant

Impact of Saliva Collection and Processing Methods on Aspartate Aminotransferase, Creatin Kinase and Lactate Dehydrogenase Activities

We aimed to investigate the impact of saliva collection and processing methods on AST, CK and LDH. Saliva was collected from 17 healthy participants by a passive drool. Each saliva sample was distributed into 3 aliquots: not treated, centrifugued and passed through cotton. Centrifugation improved the precisión of assays and produced lower values of AST and CK. The use of cotton resulted in decreased levels of LDH. This stress the importance of the standaritzation of sample processing to measure enzymes in saliva

Platelet Rich Plasma: New Insights for Cutaneous Wound Healing Management

The overall increase of chronic degenerative diseases associated with ageing makes wound care a tremendous socioeconomic burden. Thus, there is a growing need to develop novel wound healing therapies to improve cutaneous wound healing. The use of regenerative therapies is becoming increasingly popular due to the low-invasive procedures needed to apply them. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is gaining interest due to its potential to stimulate and accelerate the wound healing process. The cytokines and growth factors forming PRP play a crucial role in the healing process. This article reviews the emerging field of skin wound regenerative therapies with particular emphasis on PRP and the role of growth factors in the wound healing process
