Retrospective Analysis Of The Incidence, Aetiology And Risk Factors Of Sepsis Based On Post-Mortem Examination Records In Ruminants, Batrisyia Syazana Faridon, Mohd Zamri-Saad, Annas Salleh
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Sepsis is an important disease in both humans and animals. In animals, it is usually caused by septicaemia after infection and has not been well-studied. This article describes a retrospective analysis of sepsis cases in small and large ruminants submitted to the Post-Mortem Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universiti Putra Malaysia between the years 2007 and 2017. The incidence of sepsis was found to be at 40.5% in small ruminants and 38.6% in large ruminants. In both small and large ruminants, sepsis was mainly caused by bacterial infection, which was significantly (p<0.05) higher compared to parasitic and viral infections. Most cases of sepsis occur due to infections originating from the gastrointestinal tract and this is followed by the respiratory tract. Escherichia coli has been found to be the most common bacterial pathogen of sepsis in ruminants; significantly (p<0.05) higher compared to other bacterial pathogens like Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pasteurella sp., and Staphylococcus aureus. Sepsis involving E. coli has often resulted in pure isolation of the pathogen, thus being suggestive of a single infection. Underlying or concurrent infection is the most important risk factor leading to sepsis in ruminants, with significant difference (p<0.05) compared to other risk factors such as stress or malnutrition. Associations between the gastrointestinal system as the point of entry and sepsis caused by either E. coli or K. pneumoniae have been noted. This study provides an insight into a basic understanding of sepsis in ruminants.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in the healing of experimentally created unicortical defect (UCD) of rat femurs. Twenty-four adult Wister rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: UCD and UCD+LLLT. The animals were subdivided into 3 groups (each group had 4 animals) and then they sacrificed at day 8, 15 and 22 for radiological, pathological and biochemical analysis. Bone healing was significantly different between the groups at day 15 and 22 (P < 0.05), while bone formation was significantly increased in the UCD+LLLT group at day 22 compared to the UCD group (P < 0.05). On histopathological examination, significant difference was found between the UCD and UCD+LLLT groups on the 22nd day (P < 0.05) while there was no difference on the 8th and 15th day. In the UCD group, the plasma Alkaline phosphatase activity decreased on the 15th and 22nd days, Calcium on the 15th day and Phosphorus on the 8th and 22nd days compared to the UCD+LLLT group. In addition, Glutathione levels, Plasma Catalase, Glutathione Peroxidase and Superoxide Dismutase activity significantly reduced in the UCD group compared with UCD+LLLT on the 8th, 15th and 22nd day (P < 0.05). In conclusion, LLLT applied at a dose of 904µm accelerates fracture healing in UCD of a rat’s femur. However, this effect shows an increase after the 22nd day of LLLT application.

We used the Fecal Immunochemical Occult Blood Test (FIT) kit, a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay specific for human hemoglobin, on cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). We aimed to employ this test to detect gastrointestinal injury in captive animals at the National Primate Research Center of Thailand-Chulalongkorn University (NPRCT-CU). The cross-reactivity and sensitivity of the test for monkey blood were determined and compared with the human blood. The anti-human hemoglobin antibody of the FIT kit reacted with the monkey blood in a similar way as it did with humans and the intensity (T/C ratio) values between the two data sets closely correlated …

Canine mammary tumors (CMT) and human breast cancer (HBC) are the most frequent cancers in both female dogs and women worldwide, and they share an urgency for the development of effective markers. Overexpression of kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO), a secondary enzyme of the kynurenine pathway, has been shown to indicate poor prognosis in CMT patients. To further investigate the role of KMO in mammary tumor development, we first analyzed the significant pathways related to KMO from the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). The results revealed that several Kyoto Encyclopedias of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways might correlate with …

A three-year-old Saanen buck presented with a complaint of stranguria for 24 hours. A physical examination revealed that the perineal urethra was turgid, swollen, and tender, and the urinary bladder was distended. The goat was diagnosed with obstructive urolithiasis. A percutaneous tube cystotomy technique was performed to relieve progressive urinary bladder distension. Using a human suprapubic urinary bladder catheter system, the technique was performed twice due to the recurrence of the blocked urethra. Following drainage of the urine, all vital parameters returned to normal. After surgical cystotomy, an intraoperative observation revealed the urinary bladder was filled with white sandy urolith, …

The objectives of this study were to determine the differences in the expression of heat shock protein, and steroidogenic and apoptosis genes by cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) of beef cattle in a tropical environment as affected by seasonal and day effect of temperature and relative humidity. Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to measure gene expression in COC in different seasons including cool (Jan to Feb), summer (Mar to Apr) and rainy (May to Jul) seasons. Ambient temperature and relative humidity recorded on the day before oocyte collection were used to classify environment groups as: low temperature and low …
