“…Alternatively, significant reductions in total white blood counts were possibly attributed to reduced cell immunity associated with esophageal obstruction-mediated stress. These observations are in accordance with the previous studies [ 22 – 24 ].…”

Background and Aim: Esophageal obstruction is a common occurrence and a serious condition in camels. This study aimed to assess the effects of mineral deficiency on esophageal obstruction rates in dromedary camels and describe their clinical presentation and treatment outcomes. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight camels were allocated to two groups. Group 1 (control) was composed of 10 sound camels. Group 2 included 18 camels with esophageal obstruction which were based on clinical and imaging evaluations. Hematobiochemical examinations in control and affected camels were compared and statistically analyzed. Results: In camels with esophageal obstruction when compared with controls, hematological analyses showed significant increases (p < 0.05) in neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes, along with significantly decreased total white blood counts. Aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, creatine phosphokinase, glucose, albumin, creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen concentrations were significantly higher in affected camels when compared with controls. Furthermore, gamma-glutamyl transferase, globulin, sodium, chloride, cobalt, iron, manganese, and selenium concentrations were significantly reduced. Affected camels were treated by stomach tube or surgery and were completely recovered, except for one camel with an esophageal fistula. Conclusion: A lack of trace elements could have a significant role in esophageal obstruction in dromedaries. Clinical, ultrasonographic, and hematobiochemical evaluations are useful for the accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of esophageal obstruction in camels. Keywords: animals, diagnostic imaging, esophagus, fistula, pathology.

“…For supramammary LN, the injection was carried out bilateral subcutaneous in mammary gland. Twenty-four hours' post-injection, the donkeys were intravenously premedicated using 1.1mg/kg xylazine (Xylaject, Adwia Co., Cairo, Egypt) for intravenous induction of general anesthesia by using 10 mg/kg sodium thiopental 5% (Anapental, Sigma Co., Cairo, Egypt) (Alsobayil et al, 2019). The donkeys were then sacrificed by bleeding through the common carotid artery and were perfused using an ordinary preservative mixture (10% formalin, 2% phenol, and 1% glycerin) through the common carotid artery.…”

This study aimed to describe the ultrasonographic (dimensions and echogenicity), anatomical and histological features of superficial lymph nodes (LN) (mandibular, superficial cervical, subiliac, scrotal, and supramammary) in donkeys. Twenty-four donkeys (3-6 years old and 120-180 kg BW) were examined ultrasonographically for characterization of LN which were dissected and processed for histological examination. Data showed that mandibular LN, located between mandibular rami along each side of omohyoid muscles, ultrasonographically appeared as long-lobulated structures with clear anechoic lobules and hyperechoic interlobular trabeculae. Superficial cervical LN, located at 5 cm dorsal to the shoulder joint at the caudal end of the jugular vein, ultrasonographically appeared as a quadrilateral to oval multi-lobulated structure with hypoechoic lobules interspersed with fine interlobular echogenic trabeculae and delineated by a thick distinct echogenic capsule. Subiliac LN, located at the midway between the patella and coxal tuber, ultrasonographically appeared as an oval wholly anechoic structure with a fine central hypoechoic septum delineated by a thick hyperechoic capsule. Scrotal LN, located at the level of the superficial inguinal ring either cranial or caudal to the spermatic cord, ultrasonographically appeared as a small ovoid to rounded shaped structure with an entire anechoic content. Supramammary LN, localized on the lateral border of the udder base at the superficial inguinal ring, ultrasonographically appeared as a rectangular to ovoid structure with an entire anechoic content. In conclusion, the present data set a preliminary descriptive reference for normal ultrasonographic imaging as well as the topographical anatomy for adult donkeys' superficial LNs.

Donkey Heart Rate and Heart Rate Variability: A Scoping Review

Heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) are commonly used physiological measures in animals. While several studies exist on horse HRV, less information is available for donkeys. This scoping review aims to understand the extent and type of published evidence on donkey HR and HRV, their clinical and research applications, the devices used, and the analysis performed. Only quantitative primary studies published in English were considered. Four different databases were queried through the Web of Science platform, with additional evidence identified by citation chasing. After a two-stage screening phase, data were extracted considering study and population characteristics, information on HR/HRV analysis, and applications. The majority of the 87 included articles (about 80%) concerned a sample size of up to 20 individuals and were published since 2011 (about 65%). Forty-one articles employed an electronic device for signal acquisition (mainly electrocardiographs and heart rate monitors), yet only two articles reported HRV parameters. The literature on donkey HRV is lacking, and this gap can be filled by gaining knowledge on donkey characteristics and finding useful tools for welfare assessment. Comparison with what is known about the horse allows a discussion of the technical and interpretative difficulties that can be encountered with donkeys.
