Study of Behavioural Traits in Can de Palleiro (Galician Shepherd Dog).

Animals (Basel)

November 2021

Servicio de Etología y Medicina de Comportamiento Animal, Hospital Veterinario Universitario Rof Codina, Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, 27002 Lugo, Spain.

The Can de Palleiro (CP) is an autochthonous canine breed from Galicia (NW Spain). Interestingly, no previous research has been published about the behaviour of this breed. Thus, the aim of the present study was to obtain a deeper understanding of CP behavioural and temperamental traits and detect any potentially problematic behaviour by using the Canine Behavioural Assessment and Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ) and the Socially Acceptable Behaviour (SAB) test.

Crambescin C1 Acts as A Possible Substrate of iNOS and eNOS Increasing Nitric Oxide Production and Inducing Hypotensive Effect.

Front Pharmacol

July 2021

Departamento de Farmacología, Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Lugo, Spain.

Crambescins are guanidine alkaloids from the sponge . Crambescin C1 (CC) induces metallothionein genes and nitric oxide (NO) is one of the triggers. We studied and compared the , effects of some crambescine A and C analogs.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed 197 bacterial isolates from healthy dogs in Spain, focusing on extraintestinal pathogenic (ExPEC) and uropathogenic (UPEC) strains, between 2013 and 2017.
  • A significant 46.2% of these isolates were classified as ExPEC and UPEC, with four dominant clones identified, some of which were also found in human infections.
  • The research highlighted a concerning 14.2% of the isolates as multidrug resistant, with genetic similarities suggesting potential transmission of bacteria between dogs and humans, reinforcing the importance of a one health approach.

Skeletal Anomalies in Senegalese Sole ( Solea senegalensis), an Anosteocytic Boned Flatfish Species.

Vet Pathol

March 2019

1 Departamento de Anatomía, Producción Animal y Ciencias Clínicas Veterinarias, Facultade de Veterinaria, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Lugo, Spain.

Skeletal anomalies affect animal welfare and cause important economic problems in aquaculture. Despite the high frequency of skeletal problems in reared Solea senegalensis, there is lack of information regarding the histological features of normal and deformed vertebrae in this flatfish. The aim of this study was to describe the histopathological and radiographical appearance of vertebral body anomalies.

Subacute immunotoxicity of the marine phycotoxin yessotoxin in rats.

Toxicon

April 2017

Departamento de Farmacología, Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, 27002 Lugo, Spain. Electronic address:

Yessotoxin (YTX) is a marine phycotoxin produced by dinoflagellates and accumulated in filter feeding shellfish. YTX content in shellfish is regulated by many food safety authorities to protect human health, although currently no human intoxication episodes have been unequivocally related to YTX presence in food. The immune system has been proposed as one of the target organs of YTX due to alterations of lymphoid tissues and cellular and humoral components.

In vivo cardiomyocyte response to YTX- and AZA-1-induced damage: autophagy versus apoptosis.

Arch Toxicol

April 2017

Departamento de Farmacología, Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 27002, Lugo, Spain.

Yessotoxins (YTX) and azaspiracids (AZAs) are marine toxins produced by phytoplanktonic dinoflagellates that get accumulated in filter feeding shellfish and finally reach human consumers through the food web. Both toxin classes are worldwide distributed, and food safety authorities have regulated their content in shellfish in many countries. Recently, YTXs and AZAs have been described as compounds with subacute cardiotoxic potential in rats owed to alterations of the cardiovascular function and ultrastructural heart damage.

Subacute Cardiotoxicity of Yessotoxin: In Vitro and in Vivo Studies.

Chem Res Toxicol

June 2016

Departamento de Farmacología, ‡Departamento de Ciencias Clínicas Veterinarias, §Hospital Veterinario Universitario Rof Codina and ∥Departamento de Anatomía y Producción Animal, Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela , 27002 Lugo, Spain.

Article Synopsis
  • Yessotoxin (YTX) is a marine toxin produced by dinoflagellates that accumulates in shellfish, and its levels are regulated by food safety authorities despite no reported human poisoning cases.
  • The study assessed the cardiotoxic effects of YTX both in vitro (impact on heart channels) and in vivo (on rats), finding significant heart function disturbances and structural damage after repeated doses.
  • These findings suggest that YTX may pose a health risk, particularly for individuals with existing cardiovascular issues, especially given recent raises in regulatory limits for YTX in various countries.

Azaspiracids (AZAs) are marine toxins produced by Azadinium spinosum that get accumulated in filter feeding shellfish through the food-web. The first intoxication was described in The Netherlands in 1990, and since then several episodes have been reported worldwide. Azaspiracid-1, AZA-2, and AZA-3 presence in shellfish is regulated by food safety authorities of several countries to protect human health.
