Bu çalışmada Fırat Üniversitesi Hayvan Hastanesi'nde 2002-2013 yılları arasında farklı hayvan türlerinde göz hastalıklarının görülme sıklığı araştırıldı. Çalışmadaki elde edilen veriler, Fırat Üniversitesi Hayvan Hastanesi kayıt sisteminden temin edildi. Çalışmada en sık karşılaşılan göz problemlerinin keratitis (%34.17) ve konjunktivitis (%31.29) olduğu saptandı. Konjunktivitis olgularına en çok köpeklerde (%34.48) rastlandığı tespit edilirken; keratitis olgularına ise en çok sığırlarda (%51.57) rastlandığı tespit edildi. Sığırlardaki keratitis olgularının %10’unun Coriza Gangrenosa Bovis kaynaklı olduğu tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak, yapılan bu çalışma ile Elazığ bölgesinde en çok karşılaşılan göz hastalıkları tespit edilerek bölgedeki veteriner hekimlerin göz hastalıklarına yaklaşımına yardımcı olmak amaçlandı.

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of hip dysplasia on some biochemical parameters, oxidative stress factors and hematocrit values in dogs. Hematocrit values (HTC), (CK) activities and oxidative stress factors were evaluated in a total of 27 dogs with healthy hip joints (n: 11) and hip dysplasia (n: 16). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of HCT, Ca and P values (p>0.05). ALP and CK activities were found to be statistically significantly increased in the group with hip dysplasia compared to the control group with a healthy hip joint (p<0.05). While malondialdehyde (MDA) level, one of the oxidative stress factors, was increased in the group with hip dysplasia, decreased glutathione (GSH) levels, catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were significantly decreased. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of superoxide dismutase (SOD) level. As a result, it was determined that oxidative stress factors differ in dogs with hip dysplasia compared to dogs with the healthy hip joint.

Abdominopelvik cerrahi sonrası oluşan karın içi yapışıklıkların, postoperatif devrede mortalite ve morbidite artışı-na neden oldukları bilinen bir gerçektir. Yapılan bu çalışmada fluniksin meglumin ve amniyon sıvısının intraabdominal adezyonların önlenmesindeki etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada 21 rat kullanıldı. Ratlar her grupta 7 adet olacak şekilde 3 gruba ayrıldı. Karın duvarı ve sekumda serozal kanama oluşuncaya kadar yapılan kazıma işlemi ile adezyon modeli oluşturuldu. Kontrol, fluniksin ve amniyon gruplarındaki ratlara 5 gün süreyle intraperitoneal olarak sırasıyla 0.5 ml serum fizyolojik, 2.5 mg/kg fluniksin meglumin ve 0.5 ml amniyon sıvısı enjekte edildi. On dört gün son-ra tüm ratlar sakrifiye edildi. Makroskopik değerlendirmede tedavi gruplarında adezyon oluşumu kontrol grubuna göre daha az olarak gözlendi (P<0.05). Yapılan histopatolojik kontrollerde gruplar arasında, yangı şiddeti ve fibrozis bakı-mından istatistiksel olarak fark görülmedi (P<0.05). İmmunohistokimyasal sonuçlar tablo halinde sunuldu. Sonuç olarak intraabdominal adezyonların önlenmesinde fluniksin meglumin ve amniyon sıvısının kullanılabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Objective. Many applications and pharmaceutical active substances have been used since the beginning of human history to ensure healthy and rapid healing of wounds. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of microcurrent electrical therapy on wound healing. Material and methods. A full-thickness sectional skin wound of 4 cm2 in size was created in the interscapular region of the 14 rabbits used in the study. Microcurrent electrotherapy was applied to rabbits with excisional skin wounds for 10 days. Results. At the end of the 10th day, when the wound closure rates were compared, it was determined that the rabbits in the microcurrent electrotherapy (ME) group were in better condition than the rabbits in the control group (CG). In the histopathological scoring, it was determined that there was no statistical difference between the two groups (p ˃0.05). When evaluated biochemically, MDA levels of rabbits in the ME group were determined to be statistically significantly higher. GSH, CAT, GSH-Px levels were found to be statistically significantly lower in rabbits in the ME group (P˂0.001). Conclusions. As a result, according to the findings from this study, it was determined that microcurrent electrotherapy application clinically accelerated wound healing. However, due to the short study period, no histopathological difference could be detected between the groups in wound healing.

In this study, the presence and types of urine crystals in cats and dogs with urolithiasis/crystaluria and the effects of some demographic factors (such as type, breed, age, sex, sterilization status) on them were evaluated. In the study, physical, chemical and sediment examinations of urine samples of 67 cats and dogs were performed. It was determined that 83.58% of the animals with crystals in their urine were male. It was determined that 63.64% of the female animals and 44.64% of the male animals with crystals detected in the urinary tract were sterilized. It was determined that urinary crystals were more common in cats between 1-3 years of age (AO) and in dogs older than 3 AO. It was determined that calcium oxalate crystal (64.41%) in cats and struvite crystal (50%) in dogs were the most common crystals. It was determined that urine crystals were found mostly in cross breeds in cats and dogs. It was determined that most of the cats and dogs with urine crystals were fed with home meals and non-branded foods. It was determined that urinary tract infections had an effect on the formation of urine crystals. As a result, it was concluded that it is important in terms of Veterinary Medicine that such studies should be routinely performed, especially in the United States of North America (such as the Minnesota Urolith Center), since urine crystals cause significant lower urinary system diseases.
