This condition is characterized by a chronic, diffuse, fibrocollageneous thickening of parietal and visceral peritoneum with secondary encapsulation of abdominal organs, mostly small intestines. Etiopathogenesis remains incompletely understood. SEP can be divided into primary, idiopathic forms and secondary forms. Secondary SEP can be caused by many different underlying disorders of which peritoneal dialysis is the most common one in humans. Diagnosis of SEP remains difficult due to its vague clinical symptoms; therefore, a combination of medical imaging, surgery and histopathology is warranted. Treatment is challenging and the prognosis is variable, depending on the severity of the disease. A combination of surgery, medicinal therapy, nutritional support and treatment of underlying disorders is used. In this article, two feline cases of SEP are described, followed by a review of the literature.","PeriodicalId":23487,"journal":{"name":"Vlaams Diergeneeskundig Tijdschrift","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135979036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the scar tissue formed after injury is of inferior quality, resulting in high re-injury rates. Conventional treatments include rest, controlled exercise and anti-inflammatory drugs administration. In order to improve tissue regeneration and prevent reinjury, biological treatments, such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are gaining popularity. In this survey, the use of MSCs as treatment for tendon injuries by Flemish equine veterinary practitioners was evaluated. Although the respondents were in general unsatisfied with conventional therapy, it remains the preferred treatment. Approximately half of the survey population (47%) have already used MSCs therapy to treat tendon injuries. The other participants reported the high costs and complexity as major limitations. According to the respondents, the availability of strong scientific evidence of the mechanisms of action, accompanied by clear practical guidelines, could help to increase the practical application of MSC therapy.","PeriodicalId":23487,"journal":{"name":"Vlaams Diergeneeskundig Tijdschrift","volume":"174 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79632544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Het grootste deel van de kittens werd gezoogd door hun moeder, slechts enkele kregen kunstmatige bijvoeding. De kittens met een laag geboortegewicht bleken een grotere kans te hebben op het “fading kitten”-syndroom, meer bepaald als het geboortegewicht lager lag dan 90 g. Het geboortegewicht werd beïnvloed door de pariteit van het moederdier. De leeftijd van het moederdier en het geslacht van de kittens leken geen invloed te hebben op het geboortegewicht van de kittens. De kittens kwamen gemiddeld 10 g per dag aan en verdubbelden hun gewicht op de tiende dag. Op basis van gewichtskwartielen is te zien dat de kittens uit kwartiel 1 een hogere gewichtstoename hadden na 48 uur dan kittens uit de andere kwartielen. Kleinere kittens groeiden sneller dan grotere kittens, waardoor de gewichtsverschillen de neiging hadden te verdwijnen na de eerste drie levensweken.","PeriodicalId":23487,"journal":{"name":"Vlaams Diergeneeskundig Tijdschrift","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75100695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With these procedures, the uterus remains in situ and later in life, a uterine pathology such as cystic endometrial hyperplasia, pyometra or uterine neoplasia, can potentially develop. The patient files of 308 clinically healthy dogs that underwent elective lap OVE, were retrospectively searched during a study period of twelve years. For 173 dogs (56%), the owners could be contacted for a telephone survey. The median age at the time of lap OVE was 1.2 years (range: 0.4-12.3 years) and median body weight was 17.0 kg (range: 2.0-65.0 kg). At a median follow-up period of 4.5 years (range: 0.2-12.3 years), in none of the dogs, any clinical signs developed related to a uterine pathology. In 14/173 dogs (median age 8.0 years (range: 2.1-11.5 years); median body weight 24.4 kg (range: 2.0-65.0 kg)), early-stage uterine changes (uterine cysts, cystic endometrial hyperplasia, and/or uterine luminal collections) were visible at the time of lap OVE. Two of these fourteen dogs underwent an abdominal ultrasound, at respectively 1.3 and 3.5 years after lap OVE, that identified regression of previous pathologies to a normal uterus. In none of the remaining twelve dogs, any sign of a uterine pathology developed at a median follow-up of 3.9 years (range: 1.1-11.1 years). In this study, it was found that advanced age and even the presence of early-stage hormonally dependent uterine changes should not be considered contraindications to perform lap OVE in clinically healthy dogs.","PeriodicalId":23487,"journal":{"name":"Vlaams Diergeneeskundig Tijdschrift","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85489705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
