Treatment of rabbit cheyletiellosis with selamectin or ivermectin: a retrospective case study

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>A retrospective study of rabbits treated against cheyletiellosis was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of selamectin or ivermectin in clinical practice.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Medical records from 53 rabbits with microscopically confirmed <it>Cheyletiella </it>infestation were collected from two small animal clinics. The rabbits were divided into three groups, based on treatment protocols. Group 1 included 11 rabbits treated with ivermectin injections at 200–476 μg kg^-1subcutaneously 2–3 times, with a mean interval of 11 days. In Group 2, 27 rabbits were treated with a combination of subcutaneous ivermectin injections (range 618–2185 μgkg^-1) and oral ivermectin (range 616–2732 μgkg^-1) administered by the owners, 3–6 times at 10 days interval. The last group (Group 3) included 15 rabbits treated with selamectin spot-on applications of 6.2–20,0 mgkg^-1, 1–3 times with an interval of 2–4 weeks. Follow-up time was 4 months–4.5 years.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Rabbits in remission were 9/11 (81,8%), 14/27 (51,9%) and 12/15 (80,8%) in groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>All treatment protocols seemed to be sufficiently effective and safe for practice use. Though very high doses were used in Group 2 (ivermectin injections followed by oral administration), the protocol seemed less efficacious compared to ivermectin injections (Group 1) and selamectin spot on (Group 3), respectively, although not statistically significant. Controlled prospective studies including larger groups are needed to further evaluate efficacy of the treatment protocols.</p

Dural metastasis from prostatic adenocarcinoma mimicking meningioma: Report of a case with unilateral loss of vision

We report a case of PCa (prostatic adenocarcinoma) with transdural metastasis which radiologically simulated a meningioma. During the course of the disease, the patient complained of progressive unilateral loss of vision as the first presentation of intracranial, extra-axial metastasis. © Pol J Radiol

A case of hepatic lipoma: Case report [Karaciger lipomu olgusu]

Hepatic lipomas are extremely rare benign tumors. Because these lesions are asymptomatic, they are usually discovered incidentally. There is no risk of malignant degeneration. The imaging appearance of lipomas is characteristic. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and sonographic findings of these lesions can help in characterization by allowing specific diagnosis. In computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, simple lipomas demonstrate fat attenuation or signal intensity and do not enhance after contrast material administration. A 46-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of dyspeptic symptoms. Liver ultrasound was suggestive of lipomas, whereas the diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. In this presentation, we evaluated the effectiveness of ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of lipomas. Copyright © 2009 by Türkiye Klinikleri
