AI Article Synopsis

  • - Sialolithiasis is a common condition affecting salivary glands, leading to infections and discomfort due to the formation of stones.
  • - Traditional treatments for large or multiple stones include ductal marsupialisation or gland excision, which can be more invasive.
  • - Sialendoscopy is a newer, less invasive method that can effectively remove stones while preserving gland function, as demonstrated by a case where 13 stones were successfully evacuated from a submandibular gland.

Article Abstract

Sialolthiasis is one of the most common benign pathologies of the salivary glands. It is associated with frequent bacterial infections and significant discomfort. Large &/or multiple stones are traditionally treated by ductal marsupialisation or gland excision. Sialendoscopy, a relatively new minimally invasive technique is a useful technique which can preserve a functioning gland and reduce postoperative morbidity. The current report demonstrates the successful use of sialendoscopy in evacuating 13 stones from a submandibular gland.

Juvenile recurrent parotitis is a rare inflammatory disease of the parotid gland that shares diverse therapeutic management between institutions. Sialendoscopy has been demonstrated as an efficient diagnostics and therapeutic method with minimal complications; however, due to the rarity of the disease and limited data, there is a lack of universal guidelines on its optimal management. Herein, we retrospectively analysed patients with juvenile recurrent parotitis who had the sialendoscopy performed at our tertiary centre.

Artificial Insemination in Queens in the Clinical Practice Setting: Protocols and challenges.

Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences, Alma Mater Studiorum-Universita di Bologna, via Tolara di Sopra, 50 - 40064 - Ozzano dell'Emilia (BO), Italy.

Practical Relevance: Despite substantial advances in assisted reproductive techniques having been recently reported in cats, the use of these is limited and routine application is still far from being a reality in veterinary clinics. Nevertheless, there is an increasing demand from domestic cat breeders for artificial insemination (AI) techniques that are already commonly used in dogs. Where natural breeding is not possible in tom cats and queens of high breeding value, AI could offer a solution.
