The genetics of canine periodontal disease: a candidate gene approach

A doença periodontal (DP) constitui o grupo de doenças inflamatórias causadas pela placa bacteriana no periodonto, incluindo o espectro de doença desde estádios precoces (gengivite) até estádios avançados (periodontite). É uma doença multifatorial resultante da interação dos mecanismos de defesa do hospedeiro com os microrganismos da placa. A DP tem um enorme impacto na medicina humana e na medicina veterinária...

Priapism associated with lumbar stenosis in a dog

Priapism, a persistent long-lasting involuntary erection of the penis, is uncommon in dogs. In this report, the case of a 13-year-old male Pointer, referred to our services due to persistent exposition of the penis, is described. This condition was consecutive to an intermittent priapism situation lasting for several days, which has been initially attributed to the inflammation and haematoma associated with a p...

Uterine prolapse with associated rupture in a Podengo bitch

A case of uterine prolapse coexisting with uterine horn rupture in a 3-year-old Portuguese Podengo bitch, which is an uncommon occurrence, is described. The female was presented with a history of recent parturition, with delivery of four healthy puppies that were normally tended and nursed. The situation developed after an uneventfully pregnancy, and no direct causative factor was identified. The duration of th...

Effect of anatomical origin and cell passage number on the stemness and osteoge...

Mesenchymal stem cells have a great potential for application in cell based therapies, such as tissue engineering. Adipose derived stem cells have shown the capacity to differentiate into several lineages, and have been isolated in many animal species. Dog is a very relevant animal model to study several human diseases and simultaneously an important subject in veterinary medicine. Thus, in this study we assess...
