“…The caudal thoracic vertebral bodies demonstrated larger length and width compared to the cranial thoracic vertebral bodies ( Fig 5 ) as published in vervet monkeys [ 29 ]. The anticlinical vertebra was always T11 as in most dogs [ 40 ].…”

“…The number of sternebrae in contact with the cardiac silhouette is also a useful tool as it can be increased in case of cardiomegaly [ 52 ]. Other measurements that could help in case of suspicion of cardiomegaly are for example dorsal deviation of the trachea with narrowing of the tracheal inclination [ 40 ].…”

“…population[ 23 ], and more precisely HCM or DCM[ 11 , 16 ]. The cardiac silhouette in these cases would appear enlarged, as a left sided or generalized cardiomegaly (increased VHS, elevation of the trachea, elongation of the left ventricle, rounding of the left heart border)[ 40 ]. Secondary signs of left-sided congestive cardiac failure (venous congestion and increased lung pattern) or right-sided congestive heart failure (hepatomegaly, CVC congestion and suspicion of ascites in the cranial abdomen included) can also be present.…”

The purpose of this prospective study was to describe the normal anatomy and provide reference ranges for measurements of thoracic radiography on Squirrel monkeys (n = 13). Thoracic radiography is a common non-invasive diagnostic tool for both cardiac and non-cardiac thoracic structures. Furthermore cardiac disease is a common condition in captive primates. In this study, left-right lateral, right-left lateral and dorsoventral projections of 13 healthy Squirrel monkeys were reviewed during their annual health examinations. The mean Vertebral Heart Score on the left-right and right-left lateral projections were 8,98 ± 0,25 and 8,85 ± 0,35 respectively. The cardio-thoracic ratio on the dorsoventral projection was 0,68 ± 0,03. The trachea to inlet ratio was 0,33 ± 0,04. Other measurements are provided for the skeletal, cardiac and respiratory systems. Knowledge of the normal radiographic thoracic anatomy is fundamental in clinical as well as research settings for accurate diagnosis of diseases.

“…Abdominal ultrasonography is one of the most useful tools for the diagnosis of cholelithiasis. Ultrasonographically, choleliths are observed as echogenic focal structures, usually with acoustic shadowing within the gallbladder lumen, and might be accompanied by gallbladder wall thickening, dilation of the biliary tract, or pericholecystic fluid [ 2 , 32 ]. However, even if these findings are observed via abdominal ultrasonography, they do not always correspond to the clinical symptoms and changes in laboratory findings.…”

Associations between serum leptin levels, hyperlipidemia, and cholelithiasis in dogs

Leptin and its receptor play several physiological roles in the canine gallbladder, and the dysregulation of leptin might play a role in the pathogenesis of gallbladder diseases such as gallbladder mucocele. Previous studies revealed a positive association between hyperlipidemia and gallstones in humans. However, the latter is still unclear in dogs with cholelithiasis. In this study, we examined the differences in leptin, leptin receptor, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels between healthy dogs and dogs with cholelithiasis, and evaluated the correlation between leptin and hyperlipidemia. Twenty-eight healthy dogs and 34 client-owned dogs with cholelithiasis were enrolled in the study. Leptin concentrations and lipid profiles were determined from sera, and leptin and leptin receptor expression levels were quantified in gallbladder tissue. In dogs with cholelithiasis, serum concentrations of leptin (p < 0.001), total cholesterol (p < 0.001), and triglycerides (p < 0.001) were significantly higher compared with those in healthy dogs. Positive correlations were observed between serum leptin and total cholesterol (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.61–0.89, r = 0.725, p < 0.001), and between leptin and triglycerides (95% CI = 0.63–0.89, r = 0.782, p < 0.001) in the cholelithiasis group. Hypercholesterolemia (Odds Ratio (OR) = 9.720; 95% CI = 1.148–82.318) and hypertriglyceridemia (OR = 12.913; 95% CI = 1.548–107.722) were shown to be risk factors for gallstone disease. In cholelithiasis patients who underwent cholecystectomy, serum leptin levels were significantly higher than in patients that had not undergone surgery (p < 0.001). Leptin and leptin receptor expression was upregulated in the gallbladder tissues of cholelithiasis patients (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively). These results indicate that increased serum leptin concentrations and hyperlipidemia (hypercholesterolemia or hypertriglyceridemia) are associated with canine cholelithiasis and that homeostatic imbalance of these parameters might affect the pathogenesis of gallstones.

“…Whether the lesion is predominantly osteolytic or sclerotic has no bearing on the aggressive nature of the lesion 1. Polyostotic aggressive lesions are likely to be malignant and have a narrow list of differentials; essentially neoplasia (primary or secondary), osteomyelitis or immune-mediated diseases such as erosive polyarthritis.…”

A 3.6-year-old neutered female labrador retriever was presented with one month’s history of left hindlimb lameness and a five-day history of anorexia. A severe osteolytic and osteoproductive polyostotic bone lesion affecting the proximal aspect of the tibia and the distal aspect of the femur was seen on radiographs. Histopathological evaluation confirmed cellulitis, myositis, neutrophilic osteomyelitis and bone necrosis and culture revealed a pure growth of β-haemolytic Listeria species. To the authors' knowledge this is the first report of osteomyelitis caused by Listeria species in a dog without any identified primary cause of infection.
