IS-09 Feline Pelvic Fracture
Full text linkPelvic fractures are traumatic injuries that account for approximately 20-32 % of appendicular fractures in cats (1). Among these feline patients, fractures of the pelvic floor are commonly found (90%), while the incidences of the sacroiliac luxation and the ilial body fractures have been reported as high as 60% and 48.5% (2, 3). The causes of pelvic fractures usually involve high impact trauma predominantly road traffic accidents. The patients can suffer significant morbidity and mortality if the concurrent soft tissue injuries were not appropriately diagnosed and managed. The initial assessment of the vital organ systems should be performed to identify life-threatening injuries. The concurrent non-orthopedic injuries can occur as high as 59-72% of the cases and it is of important that the injured patients need to be stabilized before primary repair of the pelvic bone (1)
IS-28 Small Animal Dental Anatomy and Pathology
Full text linkTeeth grow on a pair of upper and lower jaws. In the maxilla the incisors grow in the incisor bone, and the canines, pre molars and molars grow on the maxillary bone. In the lower jaw all tooth grow in the mandibular bone.To facilitate identification, the oral cavity is divided into 4 quadrants like the Triadan System modification. Consecutive quadran 1 to 4 are: right upper jaw, left upper jaw, left lower jaw and right lower jaw. And each tooth gets a 3 digit numbering identity: digit 1 is the number of the qudran where the tooth is growing, and 2 digits are then the number of each tooth starting from the sagittal piece to the two jaws to the right or left. For example: 101 is the identity for 1st incisors in the right upper jaw, 204 is the identity for the canines in the left upper jaw
PF-34 A Review of Animal Welfare Protocol on Dog Shelter in Java Area Indonesia
Full text linkThe number of pet owning in Indonesia, especially in big cities around Java island are highly growing in the past few years.This growing number of pet owning, especially in dogs, unfortunately, has became affected with growing numbers of dog abandonment and mistreated due to irresponsible pet owners issues and lack of law enforcement of animal welfare and animal cruelty law. This affected to growing number of dog shelters around Java island.Although there is still limited resources on the total population of abandoned dogs and dogs shelters in Java, many shelters reported that the numbers of intake and reports to their shelters are increasing.Therefore, it is important the assets animal welfare in a dog shelter environment, to meet the standards of care in a dog shelter.A shelter assessment protocols have been developed to measure the welfare aspects of the shelter by Barnard et al. [1]. In brief, the animal welfare assessment consists of three levels; shelter, pen, and individual level.Shelter level Consist of management based information such as general information, type of housing, feeding, exercise routine, mortality rate. Animal based assessment which is emotional state of the animals were also recorded using Visual Analogue Scale method.Pen level Consist of resource based assessment including space allowance, bedding, evident of sharp edges, and access to water. The animals were also assessed whether there are evident of diarrhea,Individual level Consist of reactions towards humans, body condition score, hygiene, skin condition, lameness, and respiratory problems
PF-35 Spider Silk (Nephilia sp.) as Suture Material on Blood Vessel Surgery
Full text linkSurgical suture is a medical device used to hold body tissues together after an injury or surgery. Application generally involves using a needle with an attached length of thread. Surgical sutures are normally classified into two types, absorbable and non-absorbable. They can also be classified based on their construction, either mono-filament or multi-filament and also whether they are made from natural or synthetic materials. Sutures can also be classified according to their usage e.g. cardiovascular sutures, ophthalmic sutures, general sutures, orthopaedic sutures etc. Common problems associated with the choice of suture material include increased risk of infection, foreign body reactions, and inappropriate mechanical responses, particularly decreases in mechanical properties over time. Improved suture materials are therefore needed. As a high- performance material with excellent tensile strength, spider silk fibres are an extremely promising candidate for use in surgical sutures. However, the biochemical behaviour of individual silk fibres braided together has not been thoroughly investigated. In the present study, we characterise the inflammatory response produced from silk sutures and absorbance time
