Thirty-seven white storks admitted to the Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa Veterinary Faculty Rehabilitation Center were evaluated after a 3-month observation period. Only clinically healthy individuals were included. Echocardiographic measurements were performed using a transcoelomic approach without anesthesia. Cardiac parameters, including interventricular septal thickness (IVSd, IVSs), left ventricular dimensions (LVIDd, LVIDs, LVPWd, LVPWs), functional indices (fractional shortening, ejection fraction), and Doppler-derived hemodynamic values, were recorded and analyzed statistically. All individuals exhibited normal cardiac morphology and hemodynamics. No significant differences were observed between male and female storks (p>0.05). The ejection fraction ranged from 23% to 97%, and interventricular septal thickness in diastole (IVSd) was between 0.27 and 0.86 cm. Fractional shortening varied from 14% to 75%. Hemodynamic measurements, including mitral valve inflow velocities and aortic flow parameters, were comparable to values reported in other large avian species. No pathological jet flow or valvular regurgitation was detected via color Doppler imaging. This study establishes the first echocardiographic reference ranges for white storks, offering valuable insights into avian cardiac physiology. The findings contribute to wildlife rehabilitation, providing a diagnostic baseline for assessing cardiovascular health in migratory birds. Future studies incorporating larger sample sizes and age-based comparisons will enhance our understanding of species-specific cardiac adaptations.","PeriodicalId":94175,"journal":{"name":"Polish journal of veterinary sciences","volume":"28 3","pages":"449-456"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145139839","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 results indicated that the BPSE and EK extenders exhibited higher total and progressive motility rates compared to the control and LAKE extenders at 24 and 48 hours. Additionally, morphological damage rates were lower in the EK and BPSE extenders than in the LAKE extender at these time points. Mitochondrial activity was higher in the EK extender than in the LAKE extender at 24 hours. Acrosome integrity and plasma membrane integrity rates declined over time; however, they remained similar among all groups at corresponding time points.

The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence and phylogenetic relationships of field isolates of the PRRS virus (PRRSV) in pig populations in four regions of Kazakhstan. A representative sample of 323 pigs was selected to establish the seroprevalence of PRRSV in the study area. A serological test for detecting antibodies (ELISA) was performed, and the genetic characteristics of the virus were examined using the PCR method. Virus isolation from the blood sample, MARC-145, cell cultures were used. In total, 13.93% of the tested serum samples (n=45) revealed seropositivity against PRRSV antibodies. The genetic sequencing of the isolated strains indicated the widespread circulation of the North American genotype in the Almaty region. These results were confirmed by the cytopathic effects observed in cell cultures. Molecular analysis showed that the local strains have undergone significant genetic drift from the sequenced European strains and are phylogenetically more closely related to strains originating from North American. The results of genetic analyses indicate that the North American genotype has become established in Kazakhstan. This situation requires increased use of biosecurity systems and vaccines specific for this genotype. Our results highlight the importance of continuous monitoring and an active adaptive management system in controlling the spread of PRRS in regional pig populations.","PeriodicalId":94175,"journal":{"name":"Polish journal of veterinary sciences","volume":"28 3","pages":"409-418"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145139885","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 osseous route is a promising alternative to the intravenous route. The proximal humerus and proximal tibia are two commonly utilized sites in dogs. While some studies have reported the superiority of the proximal humerus route over the proximal tibia route for drug delivery in humans, there is a lack of knowledge on this topic in dogs. This study evaluated the difference in intraosseous vasopressin effect between the proximal humerus and proximal tibia in dogs. Seven healthy dogs were under general isoflurane anesthesia and intraosseous access was achieved in a crossover design. 0.05 U/kg vasopressin was administered and perfusion index (PI), heart rate (HR), and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were recorded. PI and HR decreased more dramatically when vasopressin was injected into the proximal humerus than into the proximal tibia, and MAP increased more distinctly when vasopressin was injected into the proximal humerus than into the proximal tibia. These results suggest that vasopressin is more effectively delivered when injected into the proximal humerus than into the proximal tibia. We performed histopathologic exploration of the humerus and tibia and found the difference in the distribution of vessels with cell composition of the bone marrow, and this would be a factor to affect the drug absorption of the each site. These results support the opinion that humerus is a superior intraosseous route for the administration of vasopressin.","PeriodicalId":94175,"journal":{"name":"Polish journal of veterinary sciences","volume":"28 3","pages":"419-428"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145139726","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}

Acyclia was defined as the absence of the corpus luteum and follicles > 5 mm on the ovaries. The threshold for SE was set at ≥ 5% of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in endometrial cytology. Intervals calving to estrus and calving to conception, first artificial insemination (AI) pregnancy rate, pregnancy rate 200 days postpartum, pregnancy loss and culling rate were calculated. Acyclia was found in 144 (32.1%) of 449 examined cows. The incidence of SE in acyclic cows was significantly (p≤0.05) higher than in cyclic cows (52.8% vs 36.7%).

To date 330 canine diseases with at least one known causative variant have been described. Degenerative myelopathy (DM), caused by a mutation in the SOD1 gene; progressive rod-cone degeneration (PRCD), caused by a mutation in the PRCD gene; and hyperuricosuria (HUU), caused by a mutation in the SLC2A9 gene, are among the most common monogenic autosomal recessive diseases identified in numerous dog breeds; however, their incidence varies significantly among breeds. The Labrador Retriever is a popular breed in Poland, and it was assumed that the known causative DNA variants for these three diseases are also present in its gene pool. The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution of these causal mutations in the Polish population of this breed. In total, 200 dogs were studied using Sanger sequencing. Among them, 32 carriers (16%) and 4 affected individuals (2%) were identified for PRCD, and 2 carriers (1%) were identified for HUU, while all studied dogs were free of the SOD1 mutation. The results obtained were compared with data for over 16,800 Labrador Retrievers published by Donner et al. (2023).
