The sagittal and the cross (transverse) sections at the different levels were performed on twenty heads of those animals. The nasal cavity was typically cone-shape in goat and a slight narrow elongated cone-shape in dog. It was completely divided by the nasal septum in both species except the caudal part of the nasal cavity of goat was partially divided. The nostril of the goat was nearly horizontal slit-like in form, directed ventromedially toward the philtrum. Whereas, the nostril of the dog was somewhat comma-shaped with its wide part directed medially toward the nasal septum. In the sagittal section, the nasal conchae were included in goat and dog, the dorsal nasal concha, the ventral nasal concha, the middle nasal concha and the ethmoidal conchae. The dorsal nasal concha was the longest concha in both animals. In the cross section, the dorsal nasal concha in goat was formed the dorsal conchal sinus at the level of the third premolar teeth and caudally extended into the frontal sinus. The ventral nasal concha was not formed sinus but its spiral lamellae enclosed the recesses. Moreover, the middle conchal sinus was appeared at the level of the first molar teeth. In this section, all the nasal conchae of dog were formed recesses (conchal sinuses absent).","PeriodicalId":22190,"journal":{"name":"SVU-International Journal of Veterinary Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44048579","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}

Abstract Lameness is an important clinical sign for the problems of locomotor system. When, visual inspection and diagnostic analgesia are not enough for reaching out the accurate diagnosis of the lesion, diagnostic imaging including radiology helps to determine the problem in a specific area. This study investigated the role of radiography as a crucial step for clinical diagnosis of bone exostosis lesions in equines. Between July 2019 and December 2020, seventeen animals were involved in this study 10 horses and 7 donkeys. These animals (age, 4.1±3.8 years; weight, 199±98 Kg) were suffered from lameness with prominent bone exostosis on the distal limb, then were subjected to radiographic examination with lateromedial and dorsopalmar/dorsoplantar views. The most detected cases were more prevalent in the fore limb (76.5%) than the hind limb (23.5%). The most prevalent lesions recorded in this study were ring bone (9 cases; 52.9%), Degenerative joint disease of the carpal joint and sore shins (3 cases; 17.64%) for each, and then bone spavin and side bone were the lowest prevalent one (1 case; 5.88%) for each. There was no treatment for all cases except sore shins which was improved thoroughly by topical iodine compounds with systemic administration of phenylbutazone. X-ray radiography is still beneficial for equine industry especially in the lesions related to the joints and bone exostosis that appeared on the distal limb.","PeriodicalId":22190,"journal":{"name":"SVU-International Journal of Veterinary Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47200871","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}

Experimental section was performed on 36 fresh goat’s tongue-samples, to compare the new suture pattern with the traditionally used two patterns (double rows simple interrupted pattern; and tension relieve vertical mattress with deep row simple interrupted pattern that is followed by superficial opposing vertical mattress). Comparison involved the required stitches number, duration of suturing, and pattern’s tensile strength. The main clinical study was carried out on recent lingual wounds of variable depths which involved 30-50% of tongue width in one horse, one camel, one buffalo-calf, and three donkeys. In addition to three donkeys had old lacerations which failed to heal by first intension. Wounds sutured by the new pattern were covered by one row of cruciate mattress to oppose the mucosa. Results revealed that the new pattern required fewer stitches numbers, consume lesser time, had higher tensile strength, it could be applied easily, achieved proper apposition of both the muscular layer and mucosa, and it induced minimal scar formation and deformity. The technique is widely acceptable by the owners than the other traditional merhods. The technique is advised to be used as alternative suture pattern for repair of lingual wounds of farm animals.","PeriodicalId":22190,"journal":{"name":"SVU-International Journal of Veterinary Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49282368","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}

Aim of work: This study aimed to examine the bacteriological quality of a restaurant in the Sohag University hospital environment (air, water; worker's hands, worker's clothes, and knives) beside the meat surfaces. Methods: Bacteriological examination was performed for air, water, worker's hands, worker's clothes, and knives, in addition to the meat surfaces. Mean total bacterial count; TBC, total coliform count; TCC, total fecal coliform count; TFCC, total Escherichia coli count, and total Staphylococcus aureus were carried out. Results: The obtained results revealed that the TBC, TCC, TFCC, and total E. coli counts were higher than the recommended standard for sanitary practices. In addition, we observed that worker's clothes contain more bacterial count than the hands and knives. The knives' swabs contained less bacterial burden but still higher than the recommended guidelines. In addition, 9 bacterial isolates were consistently isolated during this study including; E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Enterobacter spp, Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp, Citrobacter spp, and Serratia spp. with varying percentages of frequency across the sampling points. Whereas, none of Salmonella spp. were isolated. Conclusion: the presence of pathogenic microorganisms in this study is of special concern and meat Hygienists should be fortified to review the processes involved in the environment surrounding the meat as well as meat processing of University restaurants in Egypt.","PeriodicalId":22190,"journal":{"name":"SVU-International Journal of Veterinary Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45641841","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}

These viral diseases are often complicated with secondary bacterial infections; however, scarce data is available. In this study, utilizing microbiological and molecular procedures, we identified a number of secondary bacterial infections complicating FMD- and LSD-infected cases. Moreover, the antimicrobial resistance profile of the bacterial isolates was explored. The data showed that several bacterial pathogens including Serratia odorifera, Enterococcus faecium, Paenibacillus apiaries and Microbacterium hominis could be recovered from LSD-infected cases. On the other hand, FMD cases were found to be complicated with Pseudomonas mosselii, Bacillus cereus and Trueperella pyogens. However, Bacillus licheniformis was isolated from both disease conditions. The antimicrobial testing revealed that all pathogens are resistant to more than three antibiotics of different families, indicating the multi-drug resistant capabilities of these isolates. This baseline investigation confirms the presence of many secondary bacterial infections linked to LSD and FMD as well as the widespread antimicrobial resistance among the isolated pathogens, however, the contribution of these pathogens to the mortality rate in both conditions needs further studies.","PeriodicalId":22190,"journal":{"name":"SVU-International Journal of Veterinary Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47401661","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}
