Ultrasonographic And Clinicopathological Findings In A 7-Year-Old Mare With Urine Retention, Hussein Hussein
Ultrasonographic And Clinicopathological Findings In A 7-Year-Old Mare With Urine Retention, Hussein Hussein
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
A 7-year-old crossbreed mare presented with mild to moderate colic and a 2-day history of anuria. Clinicopathological findings revealed leukocytosis with mild neutrophilia and lymphocytosis. Urinalysis showed increased leukocytes, epithelial cells, and protein. Biochemical analysis revealed mild azotemia and hypoglycemia. Ultrasonographically, the urethra was completely blocked by echoic material. The wall of the urethra was hyperechoic and easy to distinguish from the urethralis muscle surrounding it. The urinary bladder was distended, with a rough, thick wall (9 mm). To the best of the author's knowledge, the present report is the first to describe detailed ultrasonographic and clinicopathological findings in a …

Eight cows and 7 buffaloes with massive abdominal wall swellings were examined. The aim of the ultrasonographic study was to learn the contents of the abdominal wall swellings. They were divided into 4 groups: Group I (prepubic tendon rupture or hernia), Group II (fibrino-cystic swelling), Group III (abscess), and Group IV (inflammatory swelling). Palpation of the swelling in semidorsal recumbency, needle aspiration, or surgery was used to confirm the diagnosis. In animals of Groups I, II, and III, in the ultrasound, the muscles appeared to separate from the skin at the margin of swelling, thus creating a gap. In this …
Evaluation Of Ultrasonography As A Diagnostic Tool For Hepatic Hydatid Cysts In Sheep, Hussein Awad Hussein, Mohammed Elrashidy
Evaluation Of Ultrasonography As A Diagnostic Tool For Hepatic Hydatid Cysts In Sheep, Hussein Awad Hussein, Mohammed Elrashidy
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This retrospective study was designed to evaluate the use of ultrasonography for the diagnosis of hepatic hydatid cysts. This study was conducted on 22 sheep, which were classified into 2 groups according to their liver health group (healthy liver = 13 and cystic liver = 9). Biochemically, serum concentrations of gamma-glutamyl transferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, and globulins were significantly increased (P < 0.01) while albumin was lowered (P < 0.01) in sheep with cystic livers. Ultrasonographically, rounded, anechoic, and unilocular hydatid cysts with elliptical circumferences ranging from 6 to 10 cm were seen. The interiors of cysts contained echogenic particulate materials, septations, or fine echoes. At the 10th intercostal space (ICS), ventral margin, size, thickness, and angle of livers increased in sheep with hepatic cysts, while the diameter of portal vein decreased in sheep with liver cysts. At the 9th ICS, the circumference of the gall bladder was lowered in sheep with hepatic cysts (P < 0.01). The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of ultrasonography for diagnosis of hepatic hydatid cysts were 80%, 100%, and 100% and 83%, respectively. In conclusion, ultrasonography alone or in combination with some biochemical parameters reflecting liver function could be helpful for the diagnosis of hepatic hydatid cysts in sheep.

A 9-year old male, German shepherd dog was presented to the Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital with a history of a chronic ailment that had increased over the previous few months. A diagnosis of chronic renal failure and hepatitis was made and abdominal ultrasonography revealed the presence of gallbladder mucocele (GBM). The etiology, diagnosis, necropsy, and histopathological lesions were discussed.
