Statistical analysis was performed to detect any association between the CT findings and clinical signs of rhinitis, and also to assess if there was any association between rhinitis and otitis media, otitis externa or dental disease.Results: Thirty-three of the 133 rabbits included in the study had soft tissue-attenuating material within their nasal cavities and were therefore classified as having CT findings compatible with rhinitis. CT evidence of rhinitis was correlated with the presence of clinical signs of rhinitis and with the presence of otitis media. There was no statistical association between CT evidence of rhinitis and the presence of otitis externa or dental disease.Limitations: The retrospective nature of the study, small sample size and lack of aetiological confirmation limit the conclusions that can be drawn from the findings.Conclusion: Clinical signs of rhinitis were associated with CT abnormalities consistent with rhinitis and CT evidence of otitis media. The results of this study provide useful information for CT assessment of the nasal cavities of domestic rabbits and can be used as a reference for the diagnosis of rhinitis in this species.","PeriodicalId":23560,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Record","volume":" ","pages":"e5126"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143060891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A case-based radiology course (CBC) demonstrated better learning outcomes than a lecture-based course (LBC) immediately and after a one-semester period. The aim of this study was to compare long-term learning outcomes of both groups.Methods: Veterinary students who took both the CBC and LBC during their fourth or fifth semesters (n = 21) were compared to students who only completed the LBC (n = 17) regarding their ability to interpret small animal radiographs and write radiology reports at graduation (end of ninth semester).Results: Students who completed the CBC scored better on both radiology reports than LBC students. All students reported similar frequency and role in interpreting radiographs during clinical training. However, students who took the CBC were more confident in their ability to interpret radiographs.Limitations: Students who completed the CBC may have had more interest in radiology or may have been more self-motivated to learn radiology. However, there were no measured differences in CBC and LBC students' self-reported role or frequency of reading radiographs during clinical training.Conclusions: Introducing a CBC in students' fourth or fifth semester improved students' competency in radiographic interpretation and report writing upon graduation 2 years later. This study supports active learning methods in teaching radiology and the use of case-based learning in the preclinical phase.","PeriodicalId":23560,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Record","volume":" ","pages":"e5125"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143053604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Halothane is a volatile anaesthetic that was, historically, widely used in horses, but in one study, 56 of 200 halothane-anaesthetised horses (28%) developed arrhythmias after dobutamine administration. Although isoflurane has largely replaced halothane, it is unknown how isoflurane and dobutamine interact in the development of arrhythmias.Methods: The medical records of horses undergoing general anaesthesia at the University of Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital in 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. Cases were selected if isoflurane was used as the maintenance inhalant anaesthetic agent and dobutamine was administered for the treatment of hypotension. Any instances of arrhythmia occurring following dobutamine administration were recorded.Results: Arrhythmia occurred after dobutamine administration in six out of a total of 148 horses (4.0%).Limitations: The retrospective nature of this study and the fact that the horses were anaesthetised at a single institution might limit the extent to which the findings can be ge.Conclusion: Compared to halothane, isoflurane has a much lower incidence of arrhythmia when used with dobutamine. However, a larger-scale study is needed to identify risk factors associated with horses developing an arrhythmia induced by isoflurane in combination with dobutamine.","PeriodicalId":23560,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Record","volume":" ","pages":"e5123"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143060894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dogs (7.61%) were more likely to be fed an RMBDs than cats (3.23%). While 66% of those familiar with RMBDs believed in their benefits, 96.40% recognised potential disadvantages. Concerns about risks to pets (63%) and those handling the food items (44.74%) were noted. Moreover, almost one in four owners (22.58%) who fed their pet an RMBDs lived with immunologically vulnerable people.

A tuberculosis control programme has been implemented using the comparative intradermal tuberculin (CIT) test. However, infection with Corynebacterium pseudotuberculsis and infection with or vaccination against Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) may have a negative impact on specificity. Therefore, a postmortem examination is necessary to verify the tuberculosis status of each animal where positive predictive value is low.Methods: Thirty-seven CIT-positive goats from 14 herds with a previously tuberculosis-free status were slaughtered between 2015 and 2020, and postmortem examination was carried out at the School of Veterinary Medicine of Murcia.Results: Anatomopathological examination ruled out the presence of tuberculosis lesions. In 23 of the goats, the anatomopathological examination revealed the presence of the paucibacillary form of paratuberculosis (associated with MAP infection), and in another six goats, Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis infection was confirmed. Positive reactors have not reappeared in any of the herds in the annual CIT tests up to the year 2023.Limitations: Only those herds that sent their positive animals to the veterinary school were included in the study. Participation in the postmortem analysis was not mandatory for farmers.Conclusions: Anatomopathological examination is a useful, rapid and economically viable tool to determine the tuberculosis status of goat herds.","PeriodicalId":23560,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Record","volume":" ","pages":"e4963"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143034273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, in haemodialysis-treated dogs, it was performed after the first dialysis (T1) and 7 days (T7) and 30 days (T30) after admission.Results: A total of 41 dogs were enrolled, of which 30 were treated with haemodialysis and 11 received medical therapy. No significant difference was found between CEUS values at T0 in surviving and non-surviving patients after haemodialysis. A significant difference in cortical peak enhancement intensity (PI) values was found between T0, T1, T7 and T30, with the highest PI value at T0, a significant reduction at T1 and a progressive reduction in subsequent checks. There were no significant differences in CEUS parameters at T0 between patients with AKI and AKI/CKD.Limitations: AKI aetiology was unknown in most cases, which limits the generalisability of the findings.
