- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Clostridial myositis, considered to be rare in pet animals, is an acutely fatal toxaemic condition. Some species of clostridia are responsible for necrotic myositis. A 2-year-old male German shepherd dog was admitted with non-weight bearing lameness and massive swelling of the left hind limb. Clostridium perfringens type A with alpha toxin was diagnosed as a pathogenic agent. Based on the history, the bacteria were introduced inside the tissue via contaminated needle following intramuscular injection. Urgent medical therapy followed by surgical intervention was performed. The dog was discharged completely healthy after hospitalization for four weeks. The objective of this report was to describe necrotic myositis in a dog with an emphasis on clinical signs and treatment as well as bacteriological and molecular identification of the micro-organism. Because of the fatal entity of the disease, prompt diagnosis as well as proper and urgent treatment is very important for successful therapy.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: The pomegranate seed oil (PSO), containing 17-α-estradiol, is one of the newly found phytosterols with synergistic health effects on estrogen related physiological conditions. Herein, PSO was assessed for its potential improving effects on bone characteristics in a rat model of menopausal syndrome. Three month old non-pregnant female Wistar rats (n = 30) were either sham-operated (SHAM) or ovariectomized (OVX), each divided into two further groups receiving 0.1 mL PSO or the same volume of paraffin oil as placebo. Before the operation and 67 days after it, multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) scanning was performed with the identical setup option for the scanner to measure the bone mineral density (BMD) in body of 12th thoracic vertebra, 1st to 6th lumbar vertebra and sacrum. This study revealed that bone density of 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th and sacrum body were significantly different between OVX and SHAM groups during the study period. In conclusion, PSO during 67 days study could not completely prevent the osteoporotic effects caused by ovariectomy in vertebral column of rats.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Rectal diverticulum is a rare condition in dogs characterized by formation of a pouch or sac due to hernial protrusion of the mucous membranes through a defect in the muscular coat of the rectum. A 12-year-old male terrier dog was admitted with a history of a left perineal swelling, dyschezia and tenesmus during the last five months. Digital rectal examination identified a weakness in the left pelvic diaphragm and feces-filled sac within the lateral wall of the rectum. Positive contrast radiography showed a marked solitary diverticulum (3.5 × 4 × 4.5 cm) with wide-orifice neck arising from the left rectal wall. Using a lateral approach, a large rectal diverticulum was found and diverticulectomy following standard herniorrhaphy was performed. The dog recovered uneventfully with no signs of dyschezia during the next three years. Diverticulectomy by lateral approach and perineal herniorrhaphy produced excellent results.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Proximal tibial fractures in elderly patients with osteoporosis or knee osteoarthritis (OA) are challenging
cases. In the current study, we present our experience with uncommon acute primary total knee arthroplasty (PTKA)
in this patient population.
Methods: PTKAs were performed following proximal tibial fractures in 30 consecutive patients over 60 years of age
with osteoporosis or knee OA between 2005 and 2009. Three constrained condylar knees (CCK) and no hinged knee
prosthesis were used. Patients were followed up for 4.5±1.1 years.
Results: Patients were discharged after 4.6±1.2 days. The postoperative Tegner activity scale (3.5±1.3) was improved
significantly compared to the preoperative scale (2.5±1.2) (P<0.001). The knee flexion range was significantly greater
in the operated side (106±13 degrees) compared to the uninjured knee (120±8 degrees) (P<0.001). The two sections
of knee society knee score (knee and function section) averaged 90.7±6.5 and 69.6±8.8, respectively. All patients
returned to their previous activities. Based on the visual analogue scale, the patients’ satisfaction and pain at final visit
were scored 8.1±1 and 1.5±1.2, respectively. No infection, thromboembolic events and loosening were observed.
Conclusion: PTKA following a proximal tibial fracture in elderly patients with osteoporosis or knee degeneration can be
considered as a safe alternative for open reduction and internal fixation. PTKA resulted in immediate weight-bearing,
improved functional status and patients’ satisfaction. However, functional outcomes were dependent on the general
condition of 24 the patient. Also, constrained knee prostheses were not necessary for a vast majority of the patients.- انتشار مقاله: 10-05-1395

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی:
Background: Ankle fractures, especially those resulting from external rotation mechanisms are associated with injury to
the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. Some authors have recommended performing CT scanning after open ankle surgery to evaluate the reduction of syndesmosis. In this current study, we aimed to investigate the sensitivity of plain radiography in diagnosing syndesmosis malreduction after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in patients with ankle fractures.
Methods:
Thirty patients with ankle fractures participated in this prospective study. ORIFs were performed with respect to all of the technical guidelines shown in orthopedic literature for exact syndesmosis reduction, such as fibular length and proper settings. In the operating room, plain radiography was performed in anteroposterior, mortise and lateral views to assess whether syndesmosis was malreduced. If malreduction was detected, the patient was revised. As the gold standard, patients underwent postoperative bilateral CT scanning to investigate the syndesmosis reduction which was then compared to the healthy side. Finally, the sensitivity of plain radiography in the diagnosis of syndesmosis malreduction was determined by comparing this method to CT scanning.
Results:
In both of the methods we did not find any patient with syndesmosis malreduction. Hence, the sensitivity of plain radiography was determined 100%.
Conclusion:
Based on our findings, there is no need to perform CT scanning to evaluate syndesmosis reduction after ankle ORIF in patients with ankle fractures. Plain radiography is sufficient and has satisfactory sensitivity in these patients.- انتشار مقاله: 25-04-1392

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Case description- A 6 month old common mynah (Acridotheres tristis) of unknown sex, weighing 200 g, was referred to Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Ferdowsi University. The mynah had history of swallowing a foreign body for one day. Clinical findings- Circular-like radiopaque foreign body was seen from thoracic inlet to distal end of the celomic cavity in the lateral and ventrodorsal radiographs. Treatment and outcome- Because the foreign body can cause obstruction and this condition is life threatening, the surgical removal was done. The crop was approached through 3-cm incision to remove the foreign body. Exploration in the crop was done and the foreign body was removed carefully. The crop incision was sutured in one simple interrupted layer. Procedure resulted in a favorable outcome for the bird. Clinical Relevance- Successful surgery of foreign body has not been described in mynah frequently. According to circular-like foreign body that extends from crop to abdominal cavity this situation is a very rare case.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Case Description- A 20-day-old pigeon chick with left wing distal to the carpal joint into left flank presented to our avian medicine and surgery clinic. Clinical Findings-The bird had a mal-shaped wing structure, whereas the axial skeleton, thoracic and pelvic limbs skeleton were normal radiographically and clinically, excluding the left wing. The only clinical sign observed was recumbency. Treatment and Outcome- The affected bird underwent surgery successfully for removal of the manus. The bird did not exhibit any unusual distress after the surgery, 3 and 13 months later, except of abnormal function of corrected wing. Clinical Relevance- Among the anomalies in birds, the most frequently occurring type is skeletal deformities. In this case the exact cause was unclear and remained unknown but based on owner’s report the pigeon chick had the anomaly from first day after the birth and it might be due to a malposition in embryonic period. According to our knowledge this is the first report of such a rare condition.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Objective- This study was designed to determine the effect of pomegranate seed oil (PSO) treatment on oxidative stress and lipid profiles in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Design- Experimental study Animals- 24 female Wistar rats Procedures-The rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham-operated (SHAM), SHAM with PSO treatment (SHAM + PSO), ovariectomized (OVX), and ovariectomized with PSO treatment (OVX + PSO). OVX and SHAM rats were treated with PSO (200 mg/kg/d) or normal saline solution (in a volume similar to PSO), orally using a stomach tube for 8 weeks. Results- Although a significant decrease (p < 0.01) in serum total antioxidant status (TAS) concentration in the OVX group was observed when compared to the SHAM group, no significant difference was observed for TAS between OVX + PSO and SHAM groups. Rats of the OVX group presented a significant increase in LDL cholesterol concentration (p < 0.05), when compared to SHAM + PSO group. However, no significant difference was seen for LDL cholesterol between OVX + PSO and SHAM + PSO groups. No significant differences were seen for superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, malondialdehyde, triglyceride, total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol between groups. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance- The results of the present study showed that PSO might have some beneficial effects on the antioxidant status and LDL concentration after ovariectomy in rats.
