IntroductionChronic gastritis is a common diagnosis in dogs with signs of chronic vomiting. However, there is no data concerning endoscopic and histopathological agreement in dogs with chronic gastritis. Thus, a question should be raised whether taking gastroduodenal biopsies in dogs with chronic gastritis is necessary or not. Consequently, the purpose of the study was to compare the endoscopic and histopathological agreement in dogs with chronic gastritis.Material and MethodsA total of 22 non-pregnant client-owned dogs with the signs of chronic gastritis were enrolled in this prospective study. Procedures including clinical examination, blood analysis, and diagnostic imaging were performed before anaesthesia. Biopsies obtained from gastroduodenal sites were histopathologically evaluated. A total of 110 gastroduodenal samples were examined.ResultsSixty-eight samples had abnormal histopathology and endoscopy while 11 showed normal histopathological and endoscopic evidence.ConclusionThe obtained data demonstrated that it is not necessary to take extra gastroduodenal biopsies in dogs with evidence of endoscopic gastroduodenitis. We also believe that further prospective studies, including cost and time effectiveness and more specific comparison between endoscopic appearance and histopathology, are necessary to make final recommendations regarding the need of using both procedures for definitive diagnosis.
Öz: Yarış performansı yönünden olumsuz etkileri bulunan larengeal hemipleji, birçok yarış atında tanımlanmaktadır. Bu olgu sunumlarıyla; taylarda üst solunum yolu hastalığını takiben muhtemel komplikasyon olarak şekillenmiş larengeal hemipleji vurgulanmaktadır. Geçmişinde üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu ilişkili şikayetlerle tedavi edilmiş safkan arap tayları, inspiratorik gürültülü solunum sesi ve egzersiz intolerans anamneziyle muayene edildi. Genel muayene ve tam kan sayımları normal olan hastaların endoskopik değerlendirmelerinde grade III sol larengeal hemipleji teşhis edildi. Hastaların özafagoskopisinde patoloji belirlenmedi. Hastaların her ikisinde de aritenoid kıkırdaklarda kollaps görülmedi. Larengeal hemipleji için operatif uygulamalar kabul edilmedi. Sonuç olarak; üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu geçirmiş taylarda larengeal hemipleji olguları tanımlanmıştır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Hemipleji, Larenks, Solunum, Tay. Left Laryngeal Hemiplegia Cases in Two FoalsAbstract: Laryngeal hemiplegia having negative effects on race performance has been defined in most racehorses. The cases presented here point out the laryngeal hemiplegia following upper airway disease in foals as a possible complication. Thoroughbred Arabians foals (having a previous treatment for the symptoms of upper airway infection) with a history of inspiratory whistling/roaring noise and exercise intolerance were examined. Endoscopic applications revealed grade III left laryngeal hemiplegia in cases with normal general health status and complete blood count. Esophagoscopy revealed no visible pathologic changes. There is also no evidence of arytenoid collapse in both cases. Surgery of laryngeal hemiplegia was not approved. The cases presented here reflect the laryngeal hemiplegia following upper airway disease in foals.
