Infrared thermography is a diagnostic and investigative imaging procedure used in many areas of medicine (e.g. oncology, rheumatology, sports medicine). Thermography measures the infrared radiation emitted from the body; the emission characteristics indicate the physiological status of the subject (e.g. inflammatory or neoplastic phenomena have high metabolic activity). This study was conducted on a group of five cats later diagnosed with feline fibrosarcoma complex by cytological and histopathological examination. Thermal images showed a temperature level between 41.08 and 43.6°C corresponding to the tumor zones; temperatures corresponding to the peripheral areas of the lesions were between 37.5 and 38.9°C. Infrared thermography allows appreciation of the extent of the tumor process and the ability to survey the evolution of the disease. Funding: Self‐funded.

Wound healing is achieved through four precisely and highly programmed phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. For a wound to heal successfully, all four phases must occur in the proper sequence and time frame. After an severe trauma to the extremities of the limbs the skin necrose detaches as flaps remaining in place a large denuded area exposed to infection.The reduced mobility of the skin in these areas cause difficulty in healing process to occur complicating traumatic sequelae and functional impotence. The vicious scars are unsightly and often painful due to connective tissue contractility The purpose in wounds reconstruction using skin grafts is to complement dermal with denuded skin tissue surface and initiate an uniform healing a result of which the affected limb to resume the functionality. In this paper we present ...

This paper wants to present to the veterinary Romanian scientific community the importance of using this diagnostic tool for clinicians dealing with blind patients. Candidates for ERG were selected from ophthalmological patients presented with blindness because it was difficult to establish a definitive diagnosis using only ophthalmological examination. All patients underwent general anesthesia. ERG was performed using the HMsERG unit, with preprogrammed included protocols. The protocols used in this study were Short protocol for the cataract surgery candidates and ISCEV protocol for the other patients. ERG confirmed the results obtained on chromatic pupillary light reflex evaluation. ERG proved useful in the following cases: diagnosing retinal inherited disorders, differentiating between retinal and postretinal causes of blindness, evaluation of retinal function in cataract surgery candidates. ERG o...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to determine which elbow luxation reduction method has the best advantages, taking into consideration some specific variables such as long term prognosis, post-operative lameness and the extent of soft-tissue trauma caused by the open reduction techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two surgical techniques have been used comparatively: a technique using screws and cerclage wire and one using modified bone staples. This study was conducted on 12 cases, of which six being treated using screws and cerclage wire and six using metallic implants. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical reduction of traumatic luxations in dogs and cats using modified bone staples has a better outcome with minimal damage on joint dynamics and soft-tissue trauma and should be considered as a reduction method ...

Given the fact that robotic surgery has a history of only 30 years, the surgical possibilities are not researched to their full extent. The most appreciated feature of the robotic system is considered to be the high mobility and wide array of movement allowing access to do surgery on tissues inaccessible to classical approaches. With regards to the downside of this technique, it’s almost unanimous accepted that it’s cost related. To write this article over 60 literature sources about the history and development of surgical robots also concerning case studies, animal and human trials and their results obtained throughout the past few years were reviewed. Numerous trials that analyze new surgical applications are...

Laparoscopic ovaryectomy in sows is a justification for human surgeons training this study was performed at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Bucharest in collaboration with the Emergency Hospital"Saint John"in Bucharest on 24 sows in 12 operations.

METHODS: Databases including Pubmed, Elsevier, Science Direct, Cochrane library and other journals were searched for articles published before January 2018 for studies regarding history, clinical applications, complications, advantages and disadvantages of the external fixators technique. With a history of over a hundred years, external skeletal fixators have been used in veterinary medicine as a common technique for stabilizing fractures over the past two decades. The external skeletal fixators use multiple percutaneous pins or wires placed distally and proximally to the fracture site or joint, coupled with an external frame, that can be linear, circular or hybrid and can be placed in various geometrical configurations. This method can b...

Though rare, it is one of the most common malignant tumor of the ear canal in adult and older dogs. These tumors may be pedunculated or broad based but rise above the level of the epithelium. Surgical removal of benign ear canal tumors may be accomplished via lateral ear canal resection for access to the tumor mass. No data are available on the efficacy of chemotherapy for otic tumors of dogs and cats.Prognosis of patients with otic neoplasms can best be determined by histopathologic examination of removed tissues.In this article the authors describe the case of a dog breed German Brac, female 5 years old who relapsed chronic otitis present. After otoscopic exam was a friable globular formation into the deep external ear canal.We performed a total ear canal ablation (TECA) The surgery was performed under general anesthesia inhalation. The reasons for this type of anesthesia were duration of surgery determined by the anatomical complexity of the area and the rich innervation of the area. Postoperatively we generally administered opioid analgesics and local instillations of lidocaine to reduce pain. After 2 months the animal is fully recovered general condition is favorable Histopathological examination has proven ceruminous gland adenocarcinoma. Surgical ablation of the external ear canal if ear tumors is recommended

The results obtained confirmed the target proposed and pointed out the technical aspects of laparoscopic interference for veterinary medicine as well as that swine by their anatomic features similar to human beings is the corresponding model for training.
