    DEEP ANTERIOR LAMELLAR KERATOPLASTY (DALK) IN DOGS – A COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT FOR CORNEAL PATHOLOGIES
    (2018) Gayathri, K; Ramani, C; Shafiuzama, Mohamed; Sudhakar Rao, Ganne Venkata; TANUVAS
    The study was conducted to compare the outcome of Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) with the conventional treatment techniques for anterior corneal pathologies in dogs. The cases presented to the Small Animal Ophthalmology Unit of Madras Veterinary College – Teaching Hospital which were diagnosed with corneal pathologies and anterior corneal affections (pathologies of corneal epithelium and stroma) with a normal endothelium were chosen for the study. This was based on routine physical examination and detailed ophthalmic examination with indirect ophthalmoscope, slit lamp, diagnostic tests like Fluorescein dye test and B-scan of eye. A total of 12 cases were selected and divided into two groups each consisting of 6 cases viz., Group-I; conventional therapy and Group-II; DALK.

    LONG BONE FRACTURE MANAGEMENT WITH STRING OF PEARLS (SOP) LOCKING PLATE IN CANINES
    (2018) Srikumar, N; Shafiuzama, Mohamed; Arunprasad, A; Hemalatha, S; TANUVAS
    The present study was designed with the objective of studying the incidence, aetiology and to classify long bone fractures in canines and to evaluate the functional outcome of open reduction and internal fixation of long bone fractures with String of Pearls (SOP) locking plate. The fracture healing and functional outcome was assessed by radiographic technique, power Doppler ultrasound and lameness score. Twelve dogs with long bone fracture were selected. The long bone fracture was confirmed by clinical, radiographic and ultra-sonographic evidence. A retrospective study of long bone fracture based on clinical and radiographic records of dogs presented to Orthopaedic unit of Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital from April 2017 to March 2018 was conducted. Totally 670 dogs were evaluated for various long bone fractures. Incidence of long bone fractures was higher in hind limbs than fore limbs. Among the long bones the femur had the highest incidence of fractures followed by radius and ulna, tibia and fibula and humerus. The fracture at distal portion was most common in femur, radius/ulna and humerus, whereas tibia and fibula had most proximal portion fracture. Non-Descript dogs had higher incidence of long bone fractures followed by Labrador Retriever, Spitz, German Shepherd, Doberman Pinscher and others. Younger dogs less than 6 months old age had higher incidence of long bone fractures. Incidence of long bone fractures were higher in males than females. Road traffic accident was the most common cause for long bone fractures in dogs followed by falling from a height, jumping, dog bite, crushing and other factors. The fractures were reduced and stabilised by open reduction and internal fixation using 2.7mm and 3.5mm SOP plates. SOP plates size of 2.7mm with 7 and 8 hole length were applied to dogs weighing upto 12 kg body weight and 3.5mm plates with 10 hole length were applied to dogs weighing from 13 to 25 kg body weight. The SOP plates were contoured to six degrees according to the contour of the fractured bone. The contouring was done with SOP benders after the application of bending tees in their respective pearls. The contoured SOP plates were applied to the fracture bone after reduction, with respective cortical and cancellous screws in a buttress fashion ensuring minimum of 2 screws and maximum of 5 screws in each fragment. The SOP plates had higher bending strength and stiffness even after contouring. This ensured sufficient stabilisation, early fracture healing, early limb ambulation and maintenance of good alignment at fracture site, with fewer post-operative complications and showed good clinical outcome.

    ENDOCRINE AND BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN PYOMETRA IN BITCHES
    (2018) Gogoi, Jayashree; Leela, V; Suganya, G; Shafiuzama, Mohamed; Vairamuthu, S; TANUVAS
    Canine pyometra has been studied extensively in the past few decades to findthe causes and prognostic markers associated with this infective disease of intact bitches, whichis known to cause a systemic inflammatory responses leading to multiple systemicdysfunctions. Besides the well described clinical symptoms andsystemic effects of this disease, limited research on acute phase proteins, antioxidativestatus and lipid peroxidation profile of this condition was done, although hormonal effects have been repeatedly investigated to determine the exact pathophysiology of the disease. In the present study,the changes in hormonal assay, acute phase proteins, antioxidative status and lipid peroxidation of the pyometra affected bitches both pre-operatively and post-operatively till 14days of ovariohysterectomy was studied.

    AETIOPATHOGENESIS, DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF POSTERIOR CAPSULAR OPACIFICATION FOLLOWING CATARACT EXTRACTION IN DOGS
    (2017) Gokilavani, M; Ramani, C; Shafiuzama, Mohamed; Ramesh, S; TANUVAS
    Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is the most common long-term postoperative complication following cataract surgery. It causes impaired visual acuity by directly blocking the visual axis. The effect of pharmacological agents in preventing PCO was studied under the current research. A total of eighteen cases were included in the study. The cases were divided into three groups, group I (cyclosporin A), group II (mitomycin C) and group III (heparin sodium) consisting of six eyes each. The visual outcome achieved was studied based on; visual function tests, and fundic examination with the use of fundus camera.

    BIOMECHANICAL AND CLINICAL OUTCOME OF SUPRACONDYLAR PLATE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SUPRACONDYLAR FRACTURES OF FEMUR IN DOGS
    (TANUVAS, Chennai, 2017) Senthilkumar, J.; Velavan, A.; Shafiuzama, Mohamed; Vairamuthu, S.; TANUVAS
    In the present study clinical evaluation of supraconclylar fracture fixation using supracondylar plate was conducted in 12 femur bones and 12 dogs presented to Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology, Madras Veterinary College, Chennai. In biomechanical study 12 femur bones collected from cadaver which were subjected to bending and compression test.

    STUDIES ON RECONSTRUCTION OF LARGE SKIN DEFECTS FOLLOWING MAMMARY TUMOUR EXCISION IN DOGS
    (TANUVAS, 2016) Sabarish Babu, MS; Shafiuzama, Mohamed; TANUVAS; Malashammi; Ganne Venkata Sudhakar Rao
    The present study was carried out on the clinical eases of canine mammary tumours presented to the Surgical Outpatient Unit of Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital. A total of 12 animals aged between 7 to 12 years with mammary tumour more than 5 cm in size, with multiple gland involvement and regional lymph node enlargement With no evidence of distant metastasis were selected for the study. Detailed clinical, hematobiochemical, radiographic examinations were done preoperatively. All the 12 cases were classified as stage III mammary tumours using TNM method of classification.

    A total of 296 eats presented to Small Animal Orthopaedic Unit, Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology, Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital 192 (64.86%) were diagnosed for spinal affections. There was no breed predilection as all the cats that were presented with thoracolumbar vertebral affections belonged to domestic short hair breeds. Female cats were more affected (72.22 %) than male cats (27.78%) and cats in the age group of 0 to 6 months (66.67%) and in body weight between 1.0 and 1.5 kg (66.67%) were highly affected in the present study.
