Nasal carcinomas in dogs are locally invasive neoplasms with a low metastatic rate that pose significant treatment challenges due to their location and aggressiveness. This study evaluates the safety, feasibility, and therapeutic outcomes of computed tomography-guided radiofrequency ablation (CT-guided RFA) in 15 dogs diagnosed with nasal adenocarcinoma. All patients underwent staging and histopathological diagnosis before treatment.

For example, artificial insemination involves the use of different plastic materials, including semen straws and insemination catheters, which increase the levels of waste in our environment.

- Persistent subcutaneous granulomas develop at the injection site after administering aluminium oxyhydroxide (AlOOH), a common vaccine adjuvant, and can facilitate the infection of macrophages by small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) in sheep.
- The study involved 24 male lambs that underwent vaccination followed by SRLV infection, revealing that the granulomas, initially large, decreased in size over time and exhibited various features including central necrosis and keratin presence.
- The research highlighted significant differences in the expression of the mannose receptor and the restriction factor A3Z1 in relation to the vaccine type and time, suggesting that macrophage polarization might affect SRLV infection, though the overall structure of the granulomas remained
Article Synopsis
- * A study tested radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a less risky alternative to surgery for treating insulinomas in 29 dogs, targeting tumors in the pancreas and nearby lymph nodes/liver.
- * Results showed RFA significantly improved blood glucose levels and reduced tumor size with minimal complications, indicating it could be a safe and effective treatment option.
Antibiotics, specifically clindamycin (Clin), cause intestinal dysbiosis, reducing the microbiota with anti-inflammatory properties. Furthermore, Clin can induce alterations in the immune responses and oxidative stress. Lactoferrin, among other activities, participates in the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis and reduces dysbiosis induced by antibiotic treatment.
