Article Synopsis
- Enucleation and exenteration are common eye surgeries in veterinary medicine, specifically in camels, and this study introduces a new surgical method using the supraorbital fossa approach.
- Seven camels underwent this technique at King-Faisal Teaching Veterinary Hospital, where the procedure involved sedation, a specific incision, and careful dissection to remove the eye while managing bleeding effectively.
- The results indicated that the new approach was successful, with a mean surgery time of about 46.6 minutes and few complications, suggesting it is a safe and effective option for camel eye surgery, but further research is needed for wider application.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined a new surgical method for removing the eye of horses (enucleation-exenteration) through the supraorbital fossa, using both cadaveric and clinical trials on donkeys.
- A preliminary study on cadaver heads established the surgical anatomy and demonstrated the new approach, while the clinical trials involved eight donkeys undergoing the procedure with no significant complications.
- Results indicated that the supraorbital enucleation technique is feasible and safe, showing positive outcomes in both cadaveric studies and live cases.
Hepatotoxic contaminants such as zearalenone (ZEA) are widely present in foods. Marine algae have a wide range of potential applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products. Research is ongoing to develop treatments and products based on the compounds found in algae.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that are highly selective for sugar groups on other molecules. Siglec5 is a cell-surface lectin that belongs to the sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectins (Siglecs) and acts as a suppressor of immune responses. In this study, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were used to detect the expression of Siglec5 in the male reproductive tract of dromedary camels during the rutting season.
