Results Among the 154 tumors analyzed, 149 (96.7%) were neoplasms (benign and malignant) and 5 (3.3%) were nonneoplastic lesions. For statistical analysis, mongrel (30.2%) and Poodles (26.7%) were a lot more affected breeds, age between 9 and 12 years (62.8%) was the most frequent of all, 60,4% (90/149) of neoplastic formations were benign and 39,6% (59/149) were malignant. 24,4% (12/49) of all...

BACKGROUND: Guided bone regeneration and guided tissue procedures have been performed using barrier membranes in clinical dentistry to enhance formation osseous defects, ridge preservation reconstruction. Despite the considerable number of new biomaterials that develop with more advantages fewer disadvantages for regeneration, cost surgical approach difficulties are still main obstacles we trie...

Owing to domestication, dog behaviour differs from wolf behaviour, which should also affect time budgets. At the Wolf Science Center, wolves and mongrel dogs are raised kept in a similar way; thus, it is an ideal place compare budgets of search potential domestication-related shifts. Seven packs four were observed over full year. We focused on major behavioural categories, such as resting forag...

Previous measurements of muscle thickness and length ratio of costal diaphragm insertions in the dog (A. M. Boriek and J. R. Rodarte. J. Appl. Physiol. 77: 2065-2070, 1994) suggested, but did not prove, discontinuous muscle fiber architecture. We examined diaphragmatic muscle fiber architecture using morphological and histochemical methods. In 15 mongrel dogs, transverse sections along the leng...

An implant from hydroxyapatite and polyethylene (HA+PE) composite was investigated for the usability in large bone defects. With this aim, the implants were manufactured in blocks by hot compacting the mixture of 80% HA and 20% PE weight ratio. Powders were machined in a lathe in the dimensions of diaphysis of the radius of the mongrel dogs. Then a defect, 1.5 cm in length, was made in the diap...

OF ORIGINAL ARTICLE. Objective. Children with iron poisoning, and mongrel dogs studied under laboratory conditions, were evaluated to explore the safety and effectiveness of the use of desferrioxamine in acute iron intoxication as reported in the 1965 paper. Methodology. Twelve children admitted to a pediatric unit after iron ingestion were subjected to gastric lavage (10) and treatment either ...

the aim of this study was to report a new cause of cataract, namely snake bite induced cataract in a dog. a 3-year-old male mongrel dog was referred to our clinic for the assessment of cataract in both eyes. the dog was bitten by a snake nearly 4 months ago. a 40 dioptre acrylic lens with 13 mm haptics was implanted into the lens capsule. in the left eye, posterior synechia was detected in the ...

BACKGROUND Biliary tract reconstruction continues to be a challenging surgical problem. Multiple experimental attempts have been reported to reconstruct biliary defects with different materials and variable outcome. Our aim was to evaluate a new method for biliary reconstruction using an isolated pedicled gastric tube in a live animal trial and also to present the first clinical case. METHODS...

For the production of experimental rickets, rats have been the animals most generally used. Mellanby (1, 2) and Jones (3) are the only recent investigators who have experimented extensively on dogs. Mellanby chose them because the course of rickets in puppies more closely resembles that in human beings. He maintains that this disease can be produced by the absence of vitamin alone, regardless o...
