Several methods have been developed to monitor body fat reserves of farm animals and body condition scoring (BCS) is generally assumed to be the most practical. Objective methods, such as real time ultrasonography (RTU), are accepted methods for measuring fat reserves in several farm species but there is no published information about the use of RTU to monitor body fat reserves in donkeys. The aim of the presen...
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...
The authors describe two cases of cervical hypoplasia in jennets, detected during the gynaecological evaluation of two purebred females of the Portuguese donkey breed Asinina de Miranda. These jennets aged 10 and 15 years were referred for consultation by the local breeders association because of infertility detected during an artificial breeding programme. In both jennets the cervix was small, shorter than the...
RESUMO As miopatias metabólicas são doenças provocadas por defeitos na utilização das reservas energéticas dos tecidos musculares. Apresentam-se por intolerância ao exercício, com fadiga ou mialgias e, por vezes, com mioglobinúria. A Doença de McArdle (doença de armazenamento do glicogénio tipo V) é uma doença deste grupo, com um modo de transmissão autossómico recessivo, causada por mutações no gene PYGM, loca...
his report describes a case of blind vagina diagnosed during a pre-breeding evaluation of a 5-year-old crossbred Lusitano mare. This mare was mated twice during the previous breeding season but remained open. Clinical evaluation revealed the existence of follicles in the ovaries and an enlarged uterus. An ultrasound examination showed that a granular free-floating fluid distended the uterus. No connection was d...
The objective of the present study was to identify the single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and magnetic resonance (MR) findings in juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) patients with CNS involvement and to try to correlate them with neurological clinical history data and neurological clinical examination. Nineteen patients with JSLE (16 girls and 3 boys, mean age at onset 9.2 years) were s...
Syphilis in HIV-infected patients reveals some particular aspects which are clinically relevant and disturbing: it is more frequent and develops more quickly to late stages, namely neurosyphilis; this progression may happen even if classic therapy in the early stages has been undertaken; the diagnosis of neurosyphilis is rather complex, the serological tests being of no definite credit; high doses of intravenou...
