    Ultrasonographic and Echo biometric evaluation of canine renal dysfunction.
    (CSK HPKV, Palampur, 2022-12-23) Ganjoo, Vasvi; Kumar, Adarsh
    The study was conducted on all the canine clinical cases referred to the Department of Surgery and Radiology, DGCNCOVAS, CSKHPKV, Palampur. The main aim of the study was to assess the sonographic parameters and echo-biometry of renal dysfunctions in dogs. A total of 100 client-owned canine patients were the subject of the study. the ultrasonographic examination included both greyscale as well as doppler ultrasonography to facilitate diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic protocols. As the serum creatinine levels increase, there was evidence of an increase in renal cortical echogenicity. There were alterations in renal size concerning various renal dysfunctions. Since both these renal parameters depict irreversible changes, further grading of various dysfunctions like AKI and CKD was also carried out. Significant reduction in renal length was observed in conditions like ESRD and CKD. Contrariwise, a significant increase in renal length was observed in the case of AKI. Pyelectasia was also found to be an important sonographic finding, therefore can be explored while staging chronic kidney disease into grades III and IV. Detection of renal echogenicity was found to be difficult in ESRD, the sonographic topography of great vessels helped in locating almost isoechoic undifferentiated and damaged renal entities. Doppler examination revealed increased vascular resistance in most of the renal dysfunctions. Colour doppler is a very good indicator of the renal vasculature. Renal vascular resistance (RI and PI) was found to be significantly increased in diffuse renal parenchymal abnormalities like AKI, CKD and ESRD. Sonography was found to be a sensitive diagnostic modality used for detecting nephrolithiasis even in asymptomatic dogs (73%) that did not exhibit any pain thus aiding to institute corrective and preventive management.

    Investigation on Keyhole laparoscopic diagnostics in dogs
    (Palampur, 2022-11-22) Singh, Mangal; Kumar, Adarsh
    The objectives of the present study were to standardize the diagnostic, corrective and prognostic value of key-hole laparoscopic techniques in dogs. The study comprised of two parts viz. the standardization phase and clinical application phase. In standardization phase, the animals were divided into Group-I and Group-II. In Group-I, the laparoscopic procedure utilized a 10mm diameter telescope to create a primary port caudal to the umbilicus in dogs under general anaesthesia. Capnoperitoneum was maintained between 11 to 14.5 mm of Hg, which provided sufficient abdominal distension in all the animals for creating the primary port entry. The procedure per se did not generate any apparent pressure tension stress in the animals. In Group-II, a 1.9 mm diameter telescope was used to create a primary port entry at a mean pressure of 7.03 mm of Hg to provide moderate distension during insufflation in the dogs under sedation and local analgesic infiltration around port entry. The 10 mm diameter telescope, in comparison to 1.9 mm diameter telescope, provided relatively adequate light transmission, large visualization area and easy maneuvering during the procedure. The accurate juxtaposition of various abdominal and pelvic organs viz. liver, spleen, kidneys, small intestines, colon, uterus, ovaries, and urinary bladder, facilitated the diagnostic and prognostic capability of the procedure. Capnoperitoneum induced separation of organs complemented with telescopic magnification aided an excellent diagnostic visualization. The different affections diagnosed through 10 mm diameter telescope were intestinal intussusceptions, ovarian remnant syndrome, pyometra, various hepatopathic and splenic growths. An uncomplicated laparoscopic assisted biopsy of liver was one of the key finding of the present study. The laparoscopic procedure standardized in the present study helped in identification of the smaller structures, rings, apertures and openings, which otherwise are not normally visible during the standard celiotomy approach. In conclusion, the laparoscopic procedure using 10 mm diameter telescope was found to be highly beneficial, a minimal invasiveness being an additional advantage.
