Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction (CIPO) is a rare syndrome characterized by chronic intestinal dilation and dysmotility in the absence of mechanical obstruction. A definite diagnosis of CIPO can only be made after histological examination of intestinal tissues. The present case describes a CIPO in a 2.5-year-old Bernese Mountain dog with a history of recurrent gastro-intestinal complaints ...

An 8-month-old male Bernese Mountain Dog was referred with a history of hindlimb weakness that progressed to paresis on the right side. An intradural mass was detected in the spinal canal at the level of the 2nd and 3rd lumbar vertebrae. During surgical removal, 2 small fragments of the mass were prepared for cytologic examination by the squash technique. Cytologic examination revealed 3 differ...

The Extended CODE Orbit Model, an empirical orbit model proposed by Beutler et al. [1994], was used for the first time in the actual parameter estimation procedures (using the Bernese GPS Software), to model the orbits of the GPS satellites at the CODE Analysis Center of the IGS. Apart from six Keplerian elements this orbit model consists of nine instead of the usual two parameters to take into...

Lung lobe torsion (LLT) is an uncommon pathology in small animal practice. In large breed dogs LLT effects are localized mainly to the middle lobe of the right lung. This report describes a case of left cranial lung torsion in a Bernese Mountain dog: the patient was referred with a two-day history of asthenia, anorexia, dyspnea and haemoptysis. No trauma was reported. Physical examination showe...

Aitolo-Akarnania prefecture, western Greece, is an area with strong earthquakes and large active fault systems. The most prominent are the Katouna sinistral strike slip Trichonis Lake normal system. Their proximity to cities, lack of detailed information on their seismogenic potential, calls for multiparametric research. Since 2013, area’s crustal deformation has been monitored by a dense GNSS ...
