Mammary Neoplasia

Papillary carcinoma is a mammary neoplasia of women and female dogs characterized by papillary fibrovascular projections lined by epithelial cells. Evaluation on the biology of these tumors can be done by immunohistochemistry through detection of alpha-smooth muscle actin protein in the papillary myoepithelium, which lacks such a molecule during malignant proliferations. Thus, this study aimed at determining the malignancy degree of papillary mammary tumors of female dogs by immunohistochemistry. Twenty samples of mammary neoplastic tissues collected from female dogs treated in the Veterinary Hospital at FCAV were evaluated by Hematoxylin and Eosin staining (H&E) and tumor cells were immunolabelled with monoclonal antibody to alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). Five out of 20 cases showed positive immunolabeling greater than 10% of the total immunolabeling. The remaining fourteen cases presented immunostaining lesser than 10% showing decrease or absence of α-SMA labeling in the myoepithelium of the papilla tumors. All those cases in which immunostained cell was over 10% of the neoplasm (5 immunostains of 20 total cases) were classified as benign whereas those below 10% of immunostained in the slid were considered as malignant. Therefore, immunohistochemistry played an essential role in differentiating benign and malignant papillary tumors of bitches as already described for female. Tumor classification by conventional methods, such as H&E staining, can lead to erroneous interpretations on the real biological behavior of the papillary mammary tumor.

Tendo em vista a grande incidência das afecções oncológicas este trabalho realizou um estudo retrospectivo em 333 cães acometidos por neoplasias e atendidos no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal do Paraná, Campus de Curitiba, no período de janeiro de 1998 e junho de 2002. Os animais tratados no decorrer destes anos foram catalogados e avaliados no que diz respeito ao diagnóstico, etiologia, tratamento e evolução dos tumores. As neoplasias mais freqüentes foram correlacionadas com o sexo, idade, raça e abordagem terapêutica. A alta prevalência de tumores nas fêmeas (232 casos) em relação aos machos foi correlacionada com o elevado número de neoplasias mamárias (152 casos), representando (45,64%) de todos os tumores pesquisados neste estudo. O segundo tumor mais diagnosticado foi o mastocitoma (11,7%), sendo que 46,15% destes comprometeram cães da raça Boxer. Na seqüência prevaleceram os tumores venéreos transmissíveis (3,3%), seguido dos linfossarcomas (3,3%). A forma principal de diagnóstico constou de citologia (81%) e histopatologia (93,7%). Quanto à terapêutica, 84,68% dos pacientes foram submetidos à cirurgia, 10,51% à cirurgia e quimioterapia e 4,8% foram tratados apenas com fármacos citostáticos. Como conclusão, o elevado número de cães acometidos pelas afecções oncóticas diagnosticadas demonstra a necessidade do médico veterinário dedicar-se intensivamente ao estudo da oncologia veterinária, pois o domínio desta especialidade tornou-se uma exigência do mercado de trabalho atual. Prevalence of neoplasias and kind of treatments in dogs seen in Veterinary Hospital at University Federal of Paraná Abstract A retrospective survey has been carried out at the Oncology Section of the Federal University of Paraná Veterinary Hospital on the prevalence of cancer in dogs. From 333 cases of neoplasia diagnosed during the period of 1998 to 2002 232 cases - 72.7 % - were found in female dogs. From this total about 45.6 % of them were affected with mammary neoplasia. The second more frequent tumor found were mast cell tumors (11.7%) from which 46.15% affected dogs of Boxer breed, followed by transmissible venereal tumors (3.3 %) and lymphoma (3.3%). Diagnostics were carried out mainly by cytology (81 %) and hystopathology (93.7%) procedures. Treatment of the cancer forms diagnosed was performed mainly by surgery (84.6%) followed by surgery and chemotherapy (19.51%) and chemotherapy by means of cytotoxic drugs (10.51%). In conclusion, the increasing number of cancer cases found during these period of time at the University of Paraná Veterinary Hospital has shown the need of veterinarians and of Veterinary Medicine students to intensively dedicate themselves to the field of oncology, a fact that has become imperative in the professional practice as well as in this important field of medical research.

Mammary Neoplasia

<p>This paper aimed to evaluate the use of thermography as an aid method for the early diagnosis of breast cancer in female dogs assisted at the Veterinary Hospital of IFPB Campus Sousa. Five female dogs diagnosed clinically with mammary neoplasia were selected for this study. The protocol was listed in the chronological order of medical care: anamnesis, physical examination of the tumours, thermography, surgery and collection of material for histopathological examination. Patients underwent thermographic examination with the Flir® Thermovisor equipment, model T420. The examination took place in an acclimatized room and upon permission of the animal’s tutor. 60% were pure breed female dogs. Tumours were observed in three non-castrated female dogs and two castrated ones. The masses exhibited three macroscopic presentation patterns. The majority of them were nodular, followed by pendular and flat. Masses in animal 1 showed no increase in volume and there was no difference in temperature between the breast affected by neoplasia and healthy one, whereas for animals 2, 3, 4 and 5 there was an increase in temperature of 0.6ºC, 1.0°C, 1.2°C and 2.3°C, respectively. Three different types of carcinoma were found according to histopathological examination: complex carcinoma, tubular and tubulo-papillary carcinoma. In 100% of the animals the lesions were malignant, reporting high frequency of malignant epithelial tumours in the canine species. Based on these results, it was concluded that no direct relationship was found between the thermographic imaging pattern among the types of malignant mammary tumours in female dogs. Therefore, the conception of new studies on the matter is necessary due to the small number of animals on this research, where it was not possible to affirm the capacity of the thermography in the early differentiation of the malignancy of the masses. Future researches in oncology will promote a better understanding of the pathological aspects related to mammary tumours.</p>

Coagulase Positive Staphylococci

Abstract Background Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (SP) and Staphylococcus aureus (SA) are common colonizers of companion animals, but they are also considered opportunistic pathogens, causing diseases of diverse severity. This study focused on the identification and characterization of 33 coagulase-positive staphylococci isolated from diseased pets (28 dogs and five cats) during 2009–2011 in a veterinary hospital in Spain in order to stablish the circulating lineages and their antimicrobial resistance profile. Results Twenty-eight isolates were identified as SP and five as SA. Nine methicillin-resistant (MR) isolates (27%) carrying the mecA gene were detected (eight MRSP and one MRSA). The 55% of SP and SA isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR). MRSP strains were typed as ST71-agrIII-SCCmecII/III-(PFGE) A (n=5), ST68-agrIV-SCCmecV-B1/B2 (n=2), and ST258-agrII-SCCmecIV-C (n=1). SP isolates showed resistance to the following antimicrobials [percentage of resistant isolates/resistance genes]: penicillin [82/blaZ], oxacillin [29/mecA] erythromycin/clindamycin [43/erm(B)], aminoglycosides [18–46/aacA-aphD, aphA3, aadE], tetracycline [71/tet(M), tet(K)], ciprofloxacin [29], chloramphenicol [29/catpC221], and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole [50/dfrG, dfrK]. The dfrK gene was revealed as part of the radC-integrated Tn559 in two SP isolates. Virulence genes detected among SP isolates were as follow [percentage of isolates]: siet [100], se-int [100], lukS/F-I [100], seccanine [7], and expB [7]. The single MRSA-mecA detected was typed as t011-ST398/CC398-agrI-SCCmecV and was MDR. The methicillin-susceptible SA isolates were typed as t045-ST5/CC5 (n=2), t10576-ST1660 (n=1), and t005-ST22/CC22 (n=1); the t005-ST22 feline isolate was PVL-positive and the two t045-ST45 isolates were ascribed to Immune Evasion Cluster (IEC) type F. Moreover, the t10576-ST1660 isolate, of potential equine origin, harbored the lukPQ and scneq genes. According to animal clinical history and data records, several strains seem to have been acquired from different sources of the hospital environment, while some SA strains appeared to have a human origin. Conclusions The frequent detection of MR and MDR isolates among clinical SP and SA strains with noticeable virulence traits is of veterinary concern, implying limited treatment options available. This is the first description of MRSA-ST398 and MRSP-ST68 in pets in Spain, as well the first report of the dfrK-carrying Tn559 in SP. This evidences that current transmissible lineages with mobilizable resistomes have been circulating as causative agents of infections among pets for years.

The study was conducted to know the occurrence of myiasis in cattle and goats at Babuganj Upazilla Veterinary Hospital, Barisal, Bangladesh. A total of 160 animals were examined. Among them 46 animals were found to be myiasis infested. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on species, breed, age, sex, body condition of the animal, onset and duration of illness, affected sites of myiasis. The study was conducted during March 2014 to May 2015. All the data that were collected were entered into MS excel. Descriptive analysis was done by column and pie charts. It was possible to follow the response of treatment using two treatment protocols. The overall occurrence of myiasis was 28.75% where 39.13% in cattle and 60.87% in goat. The occurrence was higher in cross breed cattle (55.56%) than the local (44.44%). Similarly the occurrence rate was higher in cross breed goat (42.86%) than local breed (28.57%). Less than 6 months aged animals (71.73%) and females (cattle-61.11% and goat-64.29%) were more prone to myiasis. The frequency of maggot infestation was higher in navel region (54.35%) followed by vaginal (28.26%) and rectal (10.87%) regions respectively. The percentage of recovery to Inj. SP vet, Inj. Asta vet and Inj. Vermic were 67.86%. Myiasis is the major problem in livestock production in our country. Animals at high risk should be managed properly to avoid wound and special attention on wound management should be given after castration and parturition to prevent myiasis.Res. Agric., Livest.

AbstractThe medical practice of declawing has received much political debate over the past few years. Yet, empirical and theoretical research on how this practice is maintained and the ethical positions of those who actually participate in this work is lacking. Drawing from 9 months of ethnographic fieldwork in a feline-specific veterinary hospital and open-ended interviews with veterinarians and staff, this study examines veterinary staff members' attitudes toward, and strategies for, dealing with the medical practice of declawing. Specifically, findings show that a number of staff felt uncomfortable with their participation in onychectomy (declawing) and relied heavily on organizational support structures to cope both with these feelings and the moral ambiguity about the practice. Relying on these structures, the veterinarians and their staff are able simultaneously to define felines as subjects worthy of respect for their quality of life, protect their own self-identity as people who work toward the best interest of animals, and paradoxically support action toward felines that they find morally objectionable.
