Microbial biofilms defined as extremely complex ecosystems are considered clinically important for humans. However, the concept and significant roles of microbial in progression disease have seriously lagged veterinary medicine, when compared with human medicine. Although importance animal health is just beginning to emerge, limited studies paid attention that field lead serious economic losses...

OBJECTIVES The antimicrobials allowed and amounts sold in veterinary and human medicine in France were compared to see if the same antimicrobial drugs are used in veterinary and human medicine, and to the same extent. METHODS Registers of all approved antimicrobial commercial products, kept by the French Agency for Veterinary Medicinal Products (AFSSA ANMV) for animals and the French Health P...

Death investigations usually centre on the elucidation on the cause of death. This usually includes a full autopsy. Furthermore, ballistics and toxicology may be employed in some cases. Mostly, however, the cause of death can be found by macroscopical examination or histology in cases where no gross findings are in evidence at the time of autopsy. Examples are cases of poaching, traffic acciden...

Thromboelastography (TEG) has been used in experimental animal studies since the early 1960s and in a routine clinical setting for the past decade. From the data currently available, it is clear that both the scope and limitations of TEG in animals resemble those observed in humans. TEG has been used to diagnose hypercoagulability in animals with disseminated intravascular coagulation, various ...

Allergic diseases in animals are increasingly gaining importance in veterinary practice and as research models. For intradermal testing and allergen immunotherapy, a good knowledge of relevant allergens for the individual species is of great importance. Currently, the knowledge about relevant veterinary allergens is based on sensitization rates identified by intradermal testing or serum testing...
