The dorsal and ventral nasal conchal bullae and conchal sinuses are part of the complex equine paranasal sinus system and are commonly affected by secondary sinusitis. However, the radiographic anatomy of the conchal sinuses is poorly reported in the literature. The present study aimed to describe the radiographic anatomical characteristics of the nasal conchal bullae and conchal sinuses in mature horses.

- The maxillary septum and septal bullae in horses can complicate the interpretation of radiographs, making it hard to diagnose sinus disorders due to their anatomical variations.
- This study utilized six preserved equine cadaver heads to detail the anatomical and radiographic features of these structures, highlighting that their positioning can differ between specimens and sides.
- Specific radiographic techniques, particularly oblique offset positioning, were found effective in visualizing the maxillary septum and bullae, which have normal variations in size and location within the equine species.
Background: Preservation of biological tissues has been used since ancient times. Regardless of the method employed, tissue preservation is thought to be a vital step in veterinary surgery teaching and learning.
Objectives: This study was designed to determine the usability of chemically preserved cadaveric equine heads for surgical teaching in veterinary medicine.
Background: Despite hepatotoxic effects, imidocarb dipropionate is the drug of choice for treatment of equine piroplasmosis. It is important, therefore, to identify adjuvant therapies that may improve the safety of imidocarb dipropionate by reducing the risk of liver damage during its use. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective and hepatoregulatory effects of treatment with and during administration of imidocarb dipropionate.
