Priapism associated with lumbar stenosis in a dog

Priapism, a persistent long-lasting involuntary erection of the penis, is uncommon in dogs. In this report, the case of a 13-year-old male Pointer, referred to our services due to persistent exposition of the penis, is described. This condition was consecutive to an intermittent priapism situation lasting for several days, which has been initially attributed to the inflammation and haematoma associated with a p...

Immunohistochemical study of IL-18 canine cystic endometrial hyperplasia

Basic Guidelines for the Collection and Submission of Necropsy Samples

The necropsy (postmortem examination) has a critical importance in the determination of the cause of disease and/or death. However, the necropsy is frequently not the end of the question and after this procedure, it is necessary to perform additional techniques (such as histological and microbiological analysis) in order to achieve a final diagnosis. An interdisciplinary collaboration between pathologists, clin...

Localization of tumor necrosis factor in the canine testis, epididymis and sper...

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), formerly known as Tumor necrosis factor alpha is now regarded as a natural component of the mammalian seminal plasma (SP). Although not completely clarified, its functions in the SP have been associated with paradoxal roles, such as sperm survival in the female genital tract, while at high levels negatively affect sperm survival and fertility potential. Recently, it has been discove...

ospadias in a male (78,XY; SRY-positive) dog and sex reversal female (78,XX; SR...

Hypospadias is rarely reported in dogs. In this study we present 2 novel cases of this disorder of sexual development and, in addition, a case of hereditary sex reversal in a female with an enlarged clitoris. The first case was a male Moscow watchdog with a normal karyotype (78,XY) and the presence of the SRY gene. In this dog, perineal hypospadias, bilateral inguinal cryptorchidism and testes were observed. Th...

TNF staining pattern on glandular and cystic canine endometrial epithelia

Bilateral ovulation fossa inclusion cysts in Miranda jennets

Multiple cysts ranging from 2-111 mm were noted bilaterally in the ovulation fossa of 11 mature Miranda jennets. These ovulation fossa inclusion cysts (OFICs) were lined by a simple low to columnar epithelium that included many ciliated cells. Although most cases were incidental findings, two of the jennets were presented with reduced fertility. Extensive cyst formation could have been responsible for the repro...

Tumour necrosis factor in the canine endometrium: an immunohistochemical study

Tumour necrosis factor (TNF), a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates cell growth and differentiation as well as the synthesis of other cytokines, has been identified in the uterus of several species describing a cyclic pattern, eventually under ovarian steroid regulation. Information is yet limited on the presence of TNF protein in the canine endometrium during the oestrous cycle and early pregnancy. This study ...

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of TNF Expression in Canine Cystic Endometrial H...

Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF) has been identified in the uterus of several species, and altered TNF expression is reported in some pathological conditions. This study sought to evaluate TNF expression in canine cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH; n=20) and compare it with expression in postpartum samples (PP; n=5).
