In the study of sheep using clinical, biochemical and radiological methods of research, they turned to the clinical status of animals with details on the musculoskeletal system: the state of muscles, joints, bones. As a result of the research, it was found that system-wide deviations in the body of sheep with endemic goiter and hypothyroidism are caused by the complex effect of iodine deficiency, against the background of an increased content of fluorine, cobalt, calcium in animal feed and water, which is due to being in an ecologically unfavorable zone. Endemic goiter and hypothyroidism occurs in adult sheep in a latent form and is clinically expressed in their offspring. Clinical signs of hypothyroidism in lambs are expressed by the development of myxedema, the development of myopathies and osteoarthropathy, caused by disturbances in oxidative processes and thermogenesis in the body. X-ray signs of thyroid osteoarthropathies are expressed by a slowdown in osteogenesis, especially epiphyseal growth zones of the type of punctate dysplasia, more pronounced on the pelvic limbs, the presence of moderate osteoporosis with an elevated level of calcium in the blood.

Currently, subcutaneous fillers based on hyaluronic acid are used to correct entropion due to the fact that it does not have organ- and speciesspecificity and, therefore, carries a minimal risk of allergic reactions. The advantage of subcutaneous fillers based on HA is that the injection can be reversed with the development of complications with the help of drugs based on hyaluronidase. The assessment was carried out by the amount of periocular moistening, alopecia and/or hyperemia of the eyelids with manual rotation of the eyelids outward during the examination. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmological examination with a slit lamp and indirect ophthalmoscopy, a Schirmer test and intraocular pressure. The injection methods used included linear threading, a series of single-point injections, or a combination of them. The criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the use of hyaluronic acid as a means for correcting entropion in animals were local reactions to skin filler, inflammatory processes in the eye area associated with a relapse of entropion, as well as the duration of the period before repeated administration of the drug. The technique of subcutaneous injection of the GC filler is a simple, reliable, effective, safe, prolonged procedure that requires a minimum amount of time, which allows you to immediately alleviate the patient's condition from mild to moderate severity as a result of entropion in cats and dogs. This procedure is especially preferable for age-related patients and patients with high anesthetic risk.","PeriodicalId":14419,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Veterinary Medicine","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84799108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A wound dressing based on collagen and chitosan Collachit® and a membrane wound dressing containing a hyperosmolar solution in the cavity were compared. Studies of the dynamics of toxemia in burn disease after experimental thermal injury were carried out on Wistar rats (n=20). Analysis of the results of the study was carried out on the basis of clinical, morphological and biochemical parameters of the peripheral blood of rats with experimental burn injury. The study of the morphology of blood cells is carried out according to generally accepted methods. Biochemical manifestations of endotoxemia are established by the dynamics of ALT, AST, urea, creatinine. In the 1st group of rats (n=10), the Collachit® wound dressing was applied. In the 2nd group (n=10), a semi -permeable membrane filled with a hyperosmolar solution, constituting a necrolytic enzyme, was fixed on the surface of the burn. As a result, it was found that burn toxemia in rats proceeded in 2 phases and was accompanied by depression, food refusal, leukocytosis, increased LII, liver transferases, creatinine and urea. Hematological deviations were characterized by non-uniform dynamics, corresponding to the phase of burn toxemia with maximum increases on days 1-2 and 5-7, a fall on days 3-4, and days 8-10. Hematological manifestations of toxemia depended on the method of treatment and were less pronounced with the use of membrane wound dressings than with collachitis. External signs of toxemia do not in all cases correspond to the hematological and biochemical profile of toxemia, which indicates the possibility of a latent course of burn disease with some methods of treatment. The applied wound dressings had a pronounced antiseptic efficacy, characterized by the absence of purulent-inflammatory complications over the entire period of the experiment.","PeriodicalId":14419,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Veterinary Medicine","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83166156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The shape and size of the pelvic bones are normal, the contours are clear, even, the bone architectonics is not changed, there were no signs of arthrosis of the hip joints. On x-rays of the hip joints, the nuclei of ossification of the heads (left and right) of the femurs were not visualized – the age norm, they were rounded, symmetrical, centered in the joints. Assessment of changes in bone mineral density was carried out by densitometry (determination of the density of materials by checking their resistance to the passage of X-rays) in puppies aged 6 to 9 months, subjected to ovariohysterectomy (OHEC) and without surgery. As a result of the research, the authors found that in animals, against the background of ovariohysterectomy (experimental group), there is a slow increase in the mineral density of the bone tissue of the pelvis and femur compared to the control group. According to the authors, it is associated with the maturation of puppies and with the intensive growth of the skeleton. The accumulation of the mineral component in animals subjected to OHEC is confirmed by the difference between the indices of the groups (≈9.3%).
