Macroanatomic, light and scanning electron microscopic structure of the pecten oculi in northern bald ibis (Geronticus eremita).

Eyes are the most primarily required sensory organs during the migration of migratory birds and Northern Bald Ibises (Geronticus eremita) are known to make long migrations. This study examined for the first time the structure of pecten oculi in northern bald ibises by using macroscopic anatomy as well as light and electron microscopic methods. In the study 20 eye globes from 10 adult bald ibises were used.

The scintigraphic, biodistribution and histopathological evaluation of the effect of experimental 131I administration on the gastrointestinal system and the demonstration of the Na+/I- symporter by immunohistochemistry in rats.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate histopathological changes and biodistribution of iodine-131 (I) in the gastrointestinal system (GIS) and also Na/I Symporter (NIS) presence by immunohistochemically in the experimental treatment of rats with radioactive iodine (RAI).

Materials And Methods: Rats were divided into experimental and control groups as random early group 2 (24 h), intermediate group 3 (3 weeks), and late period group 4 (3 months). Experimental groups were administered 100 MBq (∼3 mCi, 12 mCi/kg) by orogastric route with orogastric tube.

The Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Rib Fractures.

 Rib fracture is the most common result of thoracic traumas. Intrapulmonary shunt, alveolar capillary membrane damage, intra-alveolar hemorrhage, and hypoxia may develop following rib fractures. Therefore, prompt treatment is important.

Pathological abnormalities after long-term administration of medroxyprogesterone acetate in a queen.

In this report, multiple abnormalities (bilateral ovarian cysts, cystic endometrial hyperplasia and pyometra (CEH-P), mammary adenoma, fibrosarcoma and cystic-papillary adenocarcinoma) identified in a queen continually administered medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) for 9 years are described. An 11-year-old domestic shorthair intact queen was presented for reduced appetite, polyuria, polydipsia, abdominal distension, and mammary mass. Pyometra was diagnosed based upon clinical, ultrasonographic and radiographic examinations.

Targeted surveillance to assess the presence of BSE in the age risk population of cattle slaughtered in Bursa, Turkey: preliminary results of an immunohistochemical detection study for the 2004-2005 period.

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a member of the transmissible spongiform encepahlopathies, has been a notifiable disease in Turkey since 1997. In 2002, the BSE status of Turkey was assessed by the EU Scientific Steering Committee as "it is likely but not confirmed". This study presents the results of a targeted surveillance study to assess the presence of BSE in the age risk population of Bursa, Turkey.

Evaluation of the effects of topical tripeptide-copper complex and zinc oxide on open-wound healing in rabbits.

In this study the clinical and histopathological effects of topically applied tripeptide-copper complex (TCC) and zinc oxide on open-wound healing in rabbits was evaluated. Eighteen New Zealand rabbits were divided into three groups: TCC, zinc oxide and no treatment. One full thickness wound was created on each side of the dorsal midline in each rabbit.
