Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on encephalitozoonosis, a disease affecting domestic rabbits, emphasizing the need for diagnosis and prevention due to limited treatment options.
- A total of 176 rabbits were examined and blood samples taken, with prevalence identified at 39.2%, showing significant variation based on factors like age, clinical status, and breeding system.
- This research provides initial insights into the prevalence of the disease in northwestern Romania, but further extensive studies are needed for a comprehensive understanding of the situation across the country.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined the effects of two intravenous doses of propofol (5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) on red-eared sliders, measuring various reflexes and recovery times.
- Six turtles received both doses after a week of washout, with G1 (5 mg/kg) showing inadequate muscle relaxation and no intubation capability, while G2 (10 mg/kg) allowed intubation in five of six turtles.
- Significant differences were found between the two doses, particularly in muscle relaxation, handling ease, and intubation success, suggesting that a higher propofol dose is necessary for effective anesthesia in these turtles.
Veterinary minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has experienced notable growth in recent years, yet the availability of specialized training tools remains limited and not readily accessible to practitioners worldwide. While borrowing simulators from human medicine practices suffices for acquiring fundamental laparoscopic skills, it proves inadequate when addressing procedure-specific nuances. Veterinary professionals are now taking steps to create simulators tailored to their patients, although the validation process can be time-consuming.
