چکیده مقاله:

Encephalomalacia is softening or loss of brain tissue following cerebral infarction; cerebral ischemia infection, craniocerebral trauma or other injuries. Cholangiocarcinomas are malignant neoplasms of biliary epithelium, which usually arise from the intrahepatic ducts. A budgerigar was presented with a history of ataxia, decreased activity, neck weakness and weight loss. Supportive care was attempted, but the bird did not improve and euthanasia was elected. At necropsy, the liver was pale and large. There were two symmetrical pale areas on the cortical surface of cerebrum. Representative specimens from all tissues were fixed in 10% buffered formalin, embedded in paraffin and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE). In gray matter of cerebral tissue, there were small clear vacuoles of varied size that formed in the cytoplasm of neuron cell bodies. Proliferation of capillaries was seen. The fluid-filled clear spaces were in the white matter especially in peduncles. There were a few thromboses in the vessels and neuronal necrosis of cerebrum. Neoplastic tissue was limited to the liver. There were numerous epithelial lined ducts with an associated dense fibrous stroma. Cholangiocarcinoma and encephalomalacia were confirmed based on the macroscopic and microscopic evidences. It seems that chronic exposure to a mycotoxin and vitamin E deficiency are probable causes of encephalpmalacia and cholangiocarcinoma in this bird.

A rare case of cutaneous leiomyosarcoma in budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus)

  Leiomyosarcoma in birds is relatively rare. This tumor as a muscle neoplasm was reported in captive and free ranging birds. Smooth muscle cells may develop to the leiomyosracoma, but splenic smooth muscle trabeculae is most common site of the tumor growth. Although budgerigars have an incidence of neoplastic diseases but smooth muscle tumors were rarely reported in this species. To the best o...

The Nutrition of the Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus)1

Growing interest in the nutrition of the budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) has highlighted the paucity of knowledge in this area. The aims of this study were to review the available literature on their individual nutrient requirements and relate this to the nutrient content of their predominantly seed-based diet and to investigate the effect of the bird's daily energy requirement on the fluc...

Temporal integration of acoustic signals by the budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus).

Avoidance conditioning and a modified method of limits psychophysical procedure were used to study temporal integration of tone and noise signals in the budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus). Integration of both tone and noise signals can be described by a negative exponential function with a time constant of about 200 ms. At very short durations there were differences in the integration of tone...
