Objective(s): To study the effect of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-кB) and cytokine expression and pulmonary function in dogs. Materials and Methods: Twelve male mongrel dogs were divided into a methylprednisolone group (group M) and a control group (group C). All animals underwent aortic and right atrial catheterization under general anesthesia. Changes in pulmonar...

A total of 38 species mosquitoes the Culicidae family two subfamilies Anophelinae and Culicinae belonging to 6 genera, were identified on territory Kharkiv Region from 2009 2019. Dirofilaria larvae found in 932 insects, which was 4.46 % surveyed mosquitoes. The prevalence infection female by dirofilaria ± 0.24 %, while mean intensity dirofilariae 5.4 2.1. Infection with is currently detected 11...

Objectives: This immunohistochemical study was performed to assess the different activities in dentin-pulp organs pulp of mongrel dogs after stimulation with low-level laser (LLL), mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and TheraCal light-cured (LC) as therapy compare their effect conventional calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)) cement material. Materials Methods: A total 8 male 12-18 months old weighing 10-...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate healing of experimentally severed superficial digital flexor tendons of the canine hind limb repaired by apposition using a Kessler pattern with no augmentation, or augmentation with an everted autologous venous graft or non-everted autologous venous graft. A total of 30 healthy, orthopaedically and neurologically sound mongrel dogs were used in thi...

treatmenttPostirradiationhemopoieticrestoration. Experiments on mongrel canines exposed to total body irradiation in free-in-air dose of 3.85 (LD 95145} or 4.05 Gy were carried out to evaluate the therapeutic cffectiveness of some of bone marrow immediate-afterirradiation extraction, incubation in the presence of protein synthesis inhibitor and reimplantation in the organism (the reimplantation...

The intracisternal administration of ACTH in a dose of 0.2 muU in mongrel dogs produced a significant (P less than 0.001) rise in blood glucose (BGL) and a fall (P less than 0.01) in hepatic glycogen concentration (HGC): in contrast its intravenous administration was devoid of this action. These changes were markedly reduced in the hepatic denervated animals and were completely abolished in ani...

T ability of h,',rologo"" antilymphocyte serum (ALS) or its globulin derivative (ALG) to mitigate or even prevent homograft rejection is well known. In early investigations with skin homotransplantation in inbred rodents, it was shown that ALS given even several days after arrival of the homograft resulted in definite prolongation of transplant survival,4,7 This communication concerns an extens...

A nine-year-old, male, mongrel dog was unsteady after falling down a set of stairs. The dog exhibited a mildly abnormal gait 2 days after injury, and was not able to stand, with spasticity of the right limbs, 4 days after injury. MR imaging revealed a clearly demarcated mass on the top of the left lateral ventricle that showed mild hyperintensity on T1-weighted images and hyperintensity on T2-w...

A 10-year-old spayed mongrel dog was referred with repeated intercurrent hematochezia and anal bleeding. The dog was vigorous and had a normal appetite, and the fecal test showed no abnormal signs. Despite treatment primarily with sulfasalazine, the condition did not improve and unilateral blindness developed. A Prototheca zopfii infection was identified by further examination with bowel cultur...

BACKGROUND Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is an acquired disorder characterized by the activation of intravascular coagulation and excessive fibrin formation. It always occurs in association with other clinical conditions, including parasitic diseases. DIC has been described as a unusual complication in human and canine visceral leishmaniasis. CASE PRESENTATION DIC was found in ...
