SA-16 Blood Transfusion Importance in the Healing Process of Feline Panleukopenia Leading to DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation)
Get PDFINTRODUCTIONFeline panleukopenia caused by feline parvovirus (FPV), which is a highly contagious virus affecting all members of Felidae. Severity of clinical signs depends on age, immune status, and concurrent infections. The severity of the disease varies from the subclinical to sudden death. Typical initial signs include fever, depression, and anorexia. Cats can initially present vomit with lower frequency, develop watery to hemorrhagic diarrhea. Atypical presentations are common, especially in adult cats. Infected cats die from complications associated with secondary bacterial infection, sepsis, dehydration, and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC). Mortality rates of 25%-90% in acute panleukopenia and up to 100% in per acute infections have been reported
IS-17 Diagnosing and Managing of Canine Diabetes Mellitus
Get PDFHigh blood glucose level or hyperglycemia is caused by few factors, such as diabetes mellitus, stress-induced hyperglycemia, use of glucocorticoid, or hyperadrenocorticism. Therefore, it is important to have a thorough examination before having diabetes mellitus as a diagnose from hyperglycemia.Diabetes mellitus happens because of pancreas failure in insulin production that is sufficient to control blood glucose level or insulin failure to decrease blood glucose level because of the insulin resistant. When hyperglycemia happens and over the ability of kidney to absorb glucose then it will appear in the urine (glucosuria). Glucosuria will induce the diuretic-osmotic process that will attract a lot of water to tubulus renalis and induce the clinical sign polyuria. Polyuria will trigger the body to keep hydrated by trigger the thirst center in the brain that cause the clinical sign polydipsia. Insulin is needed by the body to help glucose entering into the cell so it can be used as an energy source. If the insulin level in blood is low then the glucose will fail to enter the cell. This will cause a series of process, the first process is the body will have the energy deficit that trigger the hunger center in the brain to work and cause clinical sign polyphagia. Furthermore, the body will have to break the fat to get energy that can cause weightloss. The use of fat as an energy source continuously will cause high formation of keton bodies that can cause ketoacidosis condition (Ketoacidosis diabetes). Diabetes mellitus consist of 2 types, type 1 and type 2 of diabetes mellitus. Type 1 of diabetes mellitus happens because of the failure of beta cell in insulin production so it produces a very less insulin or none. Dog is an animal that is common to have this type of diabetes mellitus. While type 2 of diabetes mellitus happens because of the insulin failure to work (insulin resistant) which is related to obesity. High level of body fat will induce the release of cytokine that inhibits insulin work so blood glucose level will arise. If this condition runs in a cronic matter then the beta cell will damage and will fail to produce insulin. Cat is a common animal to have this type 2 of diabetes mellitus
IS-19 Biosecurity Matters! Protect Your Research
Get PDFGenetically modified mammals are an essential tool in today’s biomedical research resulting in a global trade where biosecurity is critical at the national, sub-national, and perhaps most importantly at an institutional level. The global research animal exchange entails many risks to the microbial status of research animals and animal colonies. Though research animal vendors have well-established procedures to minimise biosecurity concerns, the typical researcher may need guidance in addressing biosecurity concerns when importing animals from a vendor or colleague or when shipping animals to a colleague. A biosecurity risk mitigation process typically involves careful evaluation of animal source risk, transportation risks and destination institution capability and researcher’s requirements. This presentation will focus on important considerations when developing a plan, meeting a given institution’s biosecurity needs when receiving animals from across town or around the world while facilitating the animal related researcher’s needs
PCS-17 The Potency Of Sernai Leaves (Wedelia biflora) to Increase Healing of contusion in Rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Get PDFINTRODUCTION Contusion is a type of injury caused by a collision of the body with a blunt object followed by damage to the soft parts of the body, bone damage, bleeding and swelling. The tissue Injuries cause an inflammatory or inflammatory reaction, in which the inflammatory reaction is followed by pain (dolor), heat (kolor), red (rubor), swelling (tumor), and impaired function in the area around the wound (fungsiolesa). The Inflammatory reactions are the result of increased capillary permeability and migration of leukocytes to areas of inflamed tissue. The body\u27s defense process against injury involves cells that infiltrate the wounded areas including neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes. The body\u27s response to inflammation is characterized by the release of neutrophils from the blood vessels which function as the first defense cells that play a role in phagocytosis of microorganisms and inflammatory cells in the wound. Contusion can be cured by giving anti-inflammatory drugs that aim to relieve pain, slow and prevent the spread of the tissue destruction process.the Anti-inflammatory drugs are classified into two, namely Non-Steroid Anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) and Anti-inflammatory Steroids (AIS), a class of anti-inflammatory drugs that have the ability to suppress signs and symptoms of inflammation. The use of anti-inflammatory drugs in humans can cause side effects that are harmful to the body such as ulcers, cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis, while fot the animals cause the difficulties due to the large variety of species. Therefore, herbal ingredients are developed, one of which is sernai (Wedelia biflora). Sernai has empirical benefits as a medicine for wounds and ulcers , sernai leaf water extracts as antipyretics, antitripanosoma, antimicrobials, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory agents.Sernai contains alkaloids, terpenoids, triterpenoids and flavonoids. The Flavonoid compounds can inhibit the release of arachidonic acid, secretion of lysozyme enzymes from neutrophil cells and endothelial cells and inhibit the proliferation phase and exudation phase of the inflammatory process. If the prostaglandin pathway is inhibited, the the occurrence of local blood vessel vasodilatation will reduces and so a leukocyte infiltration decreases, then it is replaced by macrophages that function to help endothelial cell formation and new blood vessels so that wound healing can take place quickly
SA-14 Fracture of the Infraglenoid Tubersity in Canine
Get PDFINTRODUCTIONA broken bone or which was usually called bone fracture had been a medical condition in which there was an incomplete or complete break in the continuity of the bone. There are many different kinds of fracture. The Glenoid Fracture of Os scapula is a very rare occurrence that these fractures have only been described in some series of cases often as a part of scapular fracture series, therefore it was difficult to interpret (1). In most incidents of ligaments or tendon injuries, fracture or luxation was involved (2). Tuber glenoid fracture often occurs in juvenile animals, it’s because they are very lively and often caused following faulty landing to a jump (3)
SA-18 Retrospective Study of Feline Panleukopenia Virus in Jakarta
Get PDFFeline Panleukopenia Virus (FPV) is caused by feline parvovirus, a single stranded DNA virus. This virus is a fatal and highly contagious in cats. Control of this disease is complicated by environmental resistance, the shedding of high viral loads and interspecies transmission. Cats all of ages may be affected by FPV but kittens are most susceptible. Signs of disease include diarrhea, lymphopenia, neutropenia, followed by thrombocytopenia and anemia, cerebellar ataxia (in kittens only), abortion and immunosuppression (transient in adult cats) (Truyen et. al 2009). The severity of clinical sign depends on the immune status of the animal and the present of other infections (Rodriguez and Guererro 2017).In Jakarta, the prevalence rate of this viral infection believed still high, but there were only few studies has been reported. The aim of this study were to provide the retrospective data of prevalence rate and survival rate concerning ages and concurrent disease of cats infected by FPV in Veterinary Clinic Drh. Cucu K. Sajuthi and Assosiate, Jakarta, Indonesia
MP-1 Cysticercosis in Goats in the Semi-arid Tropics of Timor Island, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia
Get PDFSemi-arid region of West Timor has a good potential of livestock farming, including goat farming. Small scale goat farms in West Timor raise their animals in semi-intensive system by rearing their animals in pasture or rice field. There are a high demand of goat in the local market especially prior to Kurban Fiest. Despite high population growth of goat, there are some reasons causing low productivity, such as parasite infections. Taeniid cestodes infect carnivores (as well as human) as the definitive host and involve a wide range of intermediate host where they present as metacestode cyst.1Cysticercosis or infection of cestode larval stages (metacestode) may appear vary from subclinical to severe clinical signs.1 Cysticercus infection lead to productivity losses2 even mortality in livestock.3 They are responsible for economic losses due to partial or total condemnation of carcass and offal.1, 3 Cysticercosis also pose a risk of public health.3 The zoonosis risk even higher in developing countries and especially in rural area, people lives in close proximity with animals, poor sanitation3 and low awareness. Dogs and wild canids are common definitive host of the most metacestodes occurring in goat and other ruminants.1 But some of them involve human as definitive host as well as incidental intermediate host in their life cycle.4 To make an effective control of cestode infection, it is necessary to identify the agent and collect its epidemiological data. This research aims to determine the prevalence and to identify the etiological agent of cysticercosis of goats in semi-arid region of West Timor.Cysticercosis in Goats in the Semi-arid Tropics of Timor Island, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesi
