Megaesophagus is atony and dilatation of the esophagus that is usually congenitally but acquired cases also happen. Salivation, regurgitation, aspiration pneumonia, and esophagitis are complications of the megaesophagus. Megaesophagus has been reported in various animals including horses, cows, buffaloes, goats, sheep, dogs, and cats but the occurrence is rare in ruminants. The exact etiology of the megaesophagus remains unknown. A two-day-old kid from a goatherd was referred to veterinary education and teaching hospital who regurgitate after milk feeding and sometimes cough. An Enlargement was felt under the throat after milk feeding. Two similar cases in this herd had died with these symptoms in the past month. All vital signs and complete blood cell count of the animal were normal. Lateral plain radiographs and contrast radiographs with barium contrast were performed for further examination. Radiographic findings confirmed the congenital cervical megaesophagus. Esophageal massage to the down direction and the forelimb raising after eating a small amount of milk was also recommended for this animal as a treatment protocol. It was recommended that the bucks should be culled to control the possible genetic origin. In our follow-up after a week, the kid was alive, but dead in the second week. This report presents the descriptions of clinical and radiographical findings of a congenital cervical megaesophagus in a kid. The complications can be relatively controlled with special care, but it is unlikely that the animal can be kept alive for long periods.

A 5-year-old mongrel male dog with severe left forelimb lameness was referred to the veterinary clinic of Urmia University. On initial physical examination, vital signs were normal. However, a firm swelling with a history of one year progressive increasing in size was observed on the caudolateral aspect of the left shoulder. Pedal reflex was negative. On radiographic examination, a large mass with abnormal radiodensity was seen in the caudal humerus. Hypodermic needle aspiration specimen were unremarkable except large number of normal blood cells. Under general anesthesia, the tumoral mass was surgically removed via a caudolateral approach to the humerus. Pathological assessments corroborated the lobular pattern with the presence of tumor cells similar to normal chondrocytes in an amorphous, basophilic matrix that confirmed the chondroma tumor. In the postoperative follow-up, normal nerve function was returned and lameness was disappeared. Chondroma tumors should be considered in the differential diagnosis of dogs with persistent lameness and neuropathies.

We report an 11-year-old Kurdish gelding with an anaplastic malignant melanoma arising from his right lateral of the neck, which developed over 6 weeks. A ~10 cm in diameter, firm, and non-ulcerated nodular subcutaneous mass located at the middle and proximal of the left side of the neck was detected in a physical examination. No evidence of local extent or metastasis was detected. Complete surgical excision was performed under general anesthesia. Gross morphology and histopathological examination of the mass confirmed an anaplastic malignant melanoma, in which the major part of the mass has little or no pigmentation. The gelding was euthanized due to tumor regrowth. The heterogeneity in pigmentation of equine melanocytic tumors can make diagnosis difficult in punch biopsy specimens. Anaplastic malignant melanoma is most often a very aggressive neoplasm and surgical excision was not effective in this case.

Injury and degeneration of tendons can be highly debilitating and can result in substantial pain, disability, and health-care costs. Nano-sized fibers have a much wider surface area than conventionally produced fibers, which can hold composite materials more compactly and thus provide greater mechanical capabilities. In this study, the injured tendon was treated by electrospun PVA mats containing Eucalyptus extract and histopathological results of healing were evaluated. 45 male Wistar rats were used in this study. For this study, 45 male Wistar rats were prepared and a partial thickness tenotomy was created on right hindlimbs. All rats were divided into three groups (n = 15) and three sub-groups (n = 5) including, Eucalyptus extract-loaded nanofibers, PVA nanofiber, and without any treatment as a control group. Histological samples were taken on days 14, 28, and 42. The histological analysis on day 14 indicated no significant difference was observed between all groups (p > 0.05). While on days 28 and 42 post-rupture indicated a higher regenerating activity and capacity in the Eucalyptus extract-loaded nanofibers than PVA nanofiber and control groups (p ≤ 0.05). In summary, these results suggest that the Eucalyptus extract-loaded nanofibers mats promoted the healing process of damaged Achilles tendon in rats.

Honey, Curcuma, Ginger, and Nigella sativa are known for their antioxidant, immune stimulation properties, and wound healing effects. This study was conducted to determine the effect of these compounds and their mixture on the bone healing of the radial bone defect model in rats. 110 radial bone defects in 55 healthy male rats were randomly divided into 11 groups (10 rats per group). Group 1-5 received honey, Curcuma, Ginger, and Nigella sativa orally by gavage, and group 6-10 received the same materials locally by rubbing them on the sutured skin. The bone repair effects of these materials were evaluated by histopathology and biomechanical examinations. Using honey, Curcuma, Ginger, and Nigella sativa exhibited a beneficial effect to promote bone healing in this study. The biomechanical and histopathology evaluation showed that the honey (oral), a mixture of honey and Curcuma (oral), and a mixture of honey and Nigella sativa (topical) groups, exhibited significantly better result at 52nd postoperative day compared to the other groups as well as the control group.

Ischemia/reperfusion is one of the emergency cases that frequently occurs in testis. This pathologic event is one of the reasons for infertility in men. Inflammation and oxidative stress induce ischemia/reperfusion injury in testis. Consequently, agents possessing antioxidant activity are applied in the treatment of testicular ischemia/reperfusion. In the present study, the effect of berberine administration in the treatment of testicular ischemia/reperfusion injury is investigated. In this experiment, 24 Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=6): Sham group (receiving normal saline 0.9%), control group (ischemia/reperfusion), treatment I group (ischemia/reperfusion group receiving 50 mg/kg berberine), and treatment II group (ischemia/reperfusion receiving 100 mg/kg berberine). All injections were performed through the intraperitoneal route. Histopathological findings demonstrated that in the Sham group, testis has normal structure and normal spermatogenesis occurs. In the ischemia group, severe hyperemia, coagulative necrosis, and interstitial edema are observed and spermatogenesis has severe damage. In treatment I group (50 mg/kg of berberine), moderate interstitial edema, hyperemia, and coagulative necrosis are observed. Besides, spermatogenesis has moderate damage. In group treated with a high dose of berberine (100 mg/kg), all damages are mild. This experiment reveals that berberine exerts its protective impact in a dose-dependent manner so that the highest protective impact is observed in the group treated with 100 mg/kg of berberine. With respect to the major role of testicular ischemia in infertility and the results of the present study, berberine can be used as a valuable plant extract in the treatment of testicular ischemia and preventing its harmful impacts.

Injuries to tendons are among the most common injuries in competition horses and represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed at an eight -week period ultrasonographic and biomechanical assessments of collagenase induced tendinitis in forelimb superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) in donkeys. Four healthy male donkeys were used. 1000 U collagenase type I from Clostridium histolyticum was injected in the center of the SDFT guided by ultrasonography. Ultrasonographical images of the SDFT were recorded prior to injury and 8 weeks after confirmation of tendinitis on a weekly basis. Images were digitized and lesion area to cross-sectional tendon area ratio (LA/TA ratios) was measured. At the end of the study period, the animals underwent tenectomy and tendon samples were evaluated biomechanically. Collagenase induced tendinitis was confirmed ultrasonographically 10 days post-injection. The animals showed swelling and response to palpation, however, no lameness was found in animals within the study period. There were significant differences between the first and the fifth weeks in operated limbs ultrasonographically (p < 0.05). The eight-week period is sufficient to assess the effect of various modalities in tendon healing in the collagenase-induced model in the donkey. The development and expansion of collagenase induced tendinitis until week six after confirmation of tendinitis may disturb findings of the healing effect of various modalities in the tendon, in which tendinitis is still expanding and may mask the healing effect of the modalities used.

A ten and half year old spayed female shihtzu-terrier dog was presented with swollen mass in the right pelvic limb. The mass was first noticed by the owner three months prior to presentation but it had enlarged significantly during the past seven days before presentation resulting in pain and lameness. Clinical examination revealed the presence of a large fluctuant mass with soft tissue consistency in the caudal region of the right stifle joint with pain elicited during joint flexion. A well circumscribed large fatty tumour situated between the semimembranosus and semitendinosus muscles was encountered during surgical exploration of the affected area under general anesthesia which was completely removed. Diagnosis of intermuscular lipoma was confirmed based on clinical findings, gross appearance of the tumour and presence of mature adipocytes in histological sections. This report describes clinical signs, physical examination and diagnostic imaging findings along with surgical treatment of canine intermuscular lipoma, a rare form of lipoma and benign mesenchymal tumour of adipose tissue situated between muscle bellies which is not locally invasive and does not metastasize. To the best of our knowledge, this type of canine tumour has not been previously reported in Iran.

AbstractObjectives- Evaluate the relationship between vertebral heart score and cardiac sphericity, and evaluate gender variation in both dimensions in apparently normal Nigeria indigenous dogs.Design- Experimental study Animals- Twelve (six males and six females) apparently normal Nigerian indigenous dogs were selected from dogs in Zaria, Nigeria.Procedures- Radiographic evaluations involved left lateral views of the thoracic region of the dogs. The vertebral heart size was measured as the sum of the long-axis and short-axis at its greatest diameter then compared with the vertebra bones starting at T4. Cardiac sphericity was obtained by computing the ratio of the long-axis to the short-axis. Results- The mean ± SD for vertebral heart score and cardiac sphericity index in apparently normal Nigerian indigenous dogs were 9.3 ± 0.44v and 0.77 ± 0.06 respectively. Pearson coefficient revealed a significant (P = 0.001) and very strong correlation (P = 0.81) between vertebral heart score and cardiac sphericity index in Nigerian indigenous dogs. There were no gender variations in both dimensions.Conclusions and Clinical Relevance- This study revealed the existence of a strong relationship between vertebral heart score and cardiac sphericity index in dogs in apparently normal Nigerian indigenous dogs, and both dimensions demonstrated no gender variation. Vertebral heart score and cardiac sphericity index in apparently normal Nigerian indigenous dogs are expressed as an ideal cardiac dimensions which are suggested to be a useful quantitative and objective parameters in the diagnosis of cardiac disorders in dogs.

Results- The mean ± SD for vertebral heart score and cardiac sphericity index in apparently normal Nigerian indigenous dogs were 9.3 ± 0.44v and 0.77 ± 0.06 respectively. Pearson coefficient revealed a significant (P = 0.001) and very strong correlation (P = 0.81) between vertebral heart score and cardiac sphericity index in Nigerian indigenous dogs. There were no gender variations in both dimensions.Conclusions and Clinical Relevance- This study revealed the existence of a strong relationship between vertebral heart score and cardiac sphericity index in dogs in apparently normal Nigerian indigenous dogs, and both dimensions demonstrated no gender variation. Vertebral heart score and cardiac sphericity index in apparently normal Nigerian indigenous dogs are expressed as an ideal cardiac dimensions which are suggested to be a useful quantitative and objective parameters in the diagnosis of cardiac disorders in dogs.","PeriodicalId":14554,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Veterinary Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43387066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective- The objective of the present study was to investigate the superiority of rostral maxillary nerve blocks using the combination of lidocaine and bupivacaine or pre-operative administration of meloxicam in controlling the pain following the surgery in dogs undergoing dental pulpotomy in the rostral maxilla. Animals- Twelve dogs with healthy teeth were included in this study. Design- Under general anesthesia, each dog was randomly assigned to receive either rostral maxillary nerve block with the combination of lidocaine and bupivacaine (0.4 ml per site) (Group A) or intravenous meloxicam (0.2 mg/kg) (Group B) prior to pulpotomy. Procedures- Pulpotomy was performed in the right or left upper corner incisor teeth of each dog using a single technique. The score of pain was recorded using UMPS at 3, 5, and 24 hours after surgery and assessment of serum level of cortisol and indicators of oxidative stress including Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) and value of Malondialdehyde in hemolysis of red blood cells (MDA) prior to surgery and at 30 min, 3 and 24 hours post-operatively. Results- The highest score of pain was recorded at 5 hours after a pulpotomy, which was significantly higher in group B in comparison to group A (P = 0.026). Mean± SD level of cortisol was significantly higher in group B at 30 min, 1 and 3 hours after pulpotomy in dogs of the group B compared to group A (p 0.05) Mean ± SEM TAC values were significantly lower in group A compared to group B. (p < 0.05). However, Mean±SEM values of MDA were significantly higher in group A at different time intervals in comparison to group B. (p < 0.05).Conclusion and Clinical Relevance- It is concluded that rostral maxillary nerve block by using the combination of lidocaine and bupivacaine in painful dental procedures seems more effective than administration of meloxicam to control pain resulted from pulpotomy in dogs in early hours.
