Background/aim: Haemostatic dressings for the uniformed and rescue services are an integral part of life-saving equipment for controlling post-traumatic haemorrhage. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of active constituent substances and materials of haemostatic dressings on muscle tissue and muscle regeneration after traumatic injury.

Materials And Methods: Three hemostatic dressing prototypes were analysed: OBR/G/S sponge: dressing material sponge made of Na-Ca chitosan/algal composite microfibers and nanofibers; OBR/MBT/S: tactic gauze modified with a polymer mixture of Na-Ca chitosan/algal composite microfibers and nanofibers, impregnated with a moderate amount of procoagulants (22.

The Effect of Haemostatic Dressing Prototypes for the Emergency Services in the Porcine Haemostatic System.

Background/aim: Coagulopathy can develop when hemostatic dressings are used to stop massive bleeding, even in patients without prior history of clotting disorders. The selection of procoagulants, which effectively control bleeding and prevent disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and thrombosis, is a significant challenge. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two prototypes of haemostatic dressing in the porcine haemostatic system.

Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid interleukin-1β during lipopolysaccharide-induced systemic inflammation in ewes implanted or not with slow-release melatonin.

Background: Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is important mediator of inflammatory-induced suppression of reproductive axis at the hypothalamic level. At the beginning of inflammation, the main source of cytokines in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is peripheral circulation, while over time, cytokines produced in the brain are more important. Melatonin has been shown to decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines concentration in the brain.

Pathological findings in low-field magnetic resonance imaging of the canine spine - a study of 112 patients.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a method of choice in diagnosing nervous system disorders. This paper presents the results of a study where selected segments of the canine spine were examined by low-field MRI in 112 patients. Images of pathological changes were obtained in spin echo (SE), fast spin echo (FSE) and hybrid contrast enhancement (3D HYCE) sequences.

Thromboelastographic profile of goat blood after the experimental injury of the femoral artery and use of QuikClot gauze and Celox gauze dressings.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of thromboelastometry for the analysis of blood test results in goats after the use of hemostatic dressings to control massive bleeding. The study was carried out on 12 goats, 6 animals in each of two subgroups. In all experimental animals incision of the femoral artery was performed, and bleeding was controlled with QuikClot gauze in the first group and Celox gauze in the second group.

The effect of hemostatic dressing prototypes for the uniformed services on selected blood coagulation parameters in pigs.

Background: Serious injuries accompanied by severe bleeding are life-threatening. Post-traumatic hemorrhage involves the risk of developing coagulopathy. Hemostatic dressings are widely used to minimize bleeding.

The Effectiveness of Modified Seton and Modified Combat Gauze in Controlling Severe Hemorrhaging during Operations of Uniformed Services.

Hemorrhaging from large vessels poses a serious problem in emergency situations when blood loss needs to be immediately controlled. The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of two hemostatic dressings in controlling bleeding from a surgically punctured femoral artery. The study was performed on thirteen pigs divided into two groups, of six and seven pigs, respectively.

Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy and pyloroplasty in dogs.

This article describes clinical experiments involving laparoscopic pyloromyotomy and pyloroplasty in six dogs diagnosed with hypertrophy of the pyloric sphincter. Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy was performed in three dogs, and pyloroplasty was carried out in the remaining three animals. The patients were operated on based on the authors' previous experiences with experimental pyloromyotomy and pyloroplasty in pigs.

Experimental laparoscopic pyloromyotomy in pigs.

The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare laparoscopic pyloromyotomy methods involving the laparoscopic scalpel and the harmonic scalpel in pigs. The experiment was conducted on 4 subgroups of 12 animals subjected to laparoscopic-assisted pyloromyotomy with a surgical scalpel and the harmonic scalpel, as well as laparoscopic pyloromyotomy with Berci's laparoscopic scalpel and the harmonic scalpel. No postsurgical complications were observed.

Neurochemical characterization of zinc transporter 3-like immunoreactive (ZnT3(+)) neurons in the intramural ganglia of the porcine duodenum.

The SLC30 family of divalent cation transporters is thought to be involved in the transport of zinc in a variety of cellular pathways. Zinc transporter 3 (ZnT3) is involved in the transport of zinc into synaptic vesicles or intracellular organelles. As the presence of ZnT3 immunoreactive neurons has recently been reported in both the central and peripheral nervous systems of the rat, the present study was aimed at disclosing the presence of a zinc-enriched neuron enteric population in the porcine duodenum to establish a preliminary insight into their neurochemical coding.

[The assessment of modification of prosthesis fixation method on visceral interposition during laparoscopic abdominal hernia reconstruction].

Unlabelled: During laparoscopic abdominal hernia repair (LAHR) there is a discrepancy in relative position of mesh and fixation points during the procedure (while abdominal cavity is distended with gas) and afterwards. Therefore, after the surgery the prosthesis becomes corrugated, and tension develops in suture anchoring points. One of the proposed solutions of this problem is to place stabilizing sutures outside the mesh edges and to tie them after emptying the abdominal cavity of CO2.

The effect of isotonic multiple electrolyte infusions during anesthesia on blood gas and enzymatic values in horses.

General equine anesthesia is accompanied by the risk of complications and even death. The majority of general anesthetics used in veterinary practice lead to arterial hypotension, decreased capillary perfusion and ventilatory depression leading to pathological changes referred to as postanesthetic myopathy. In this study an attempt was made to analyze changes in the perioperative and postoperative acid-base equilibrium and blood enzymatic activity in horses, subject to the intensity of the applied fluid therapy.

Laparoscopy-guided prostate biopsy in dogs--a study of 13 cases.

This paper describes laparoscopy-guided prostate biopsy experiments in 13 dogs. Biopsy material was evaluated histopathologically to diagnose causes of prostatic gland enlargement. Laparoscopic biopsy was performed in male dogs diagnosed with prostatic gland enlargement, based on clinical symptoms and results of rectal examinations.

Thoracoscopic creation of a pericardial window in dogs.

A window in the pericardial sac was created by thoracoscopy in two dogs with diagnosed idiopathic haemorrhagic pericardial effusion (IHPE). Thoracoscopic access to the pericardial sac facilitated surgery and minimised the risk of complications associated with conventional thoracotomy.
