Impact of bacterial translocation in calves with atresia coli.

Objective: To identify whether enteric bacteria pass into the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) and peritoneal cavity in calves with atresia coli and to evaluate whether the presence of bacterial translocation (BT) has an impact on the success of surgical treatment.

Design: Prospective clinical study.

Animals: Twenty-six client-owned calves.

Dimethyl sulfoxide but not indomethacin is efficient for healing in hydrofluoric acid eye burns.

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of indomethacin and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), well-known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents, to heal eye burns induced with hydrofluoric acid in rabbits.

Methods: After general anesthesia, the right eye of 72 male New Zealand rabbits were burned by instillation of 2% hydrofluoric acid for 60s. Following this, the eyes were irrigated with 500 cc normal saline.
