background/objective: despite the present routine treatment of septic arthritis with antibacterial agents, articular damage is persistent and frequently leads to loss of joint function.  the aim of this study was to assess the effect of intra-articular corticosteroids added to systemic antibiotics in the treatment of experimental staphylococcal knee joint infection in rabbits.   methods : thirt...

OBJECTIVES We investigated whether Angiotensin II (Ang II) modulates peripheral chemoreflex function through carotid body (CB) chemoreceptors in chronic heart failure (CHF). METHODS We measured renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) in response to graded hypoxia before and after intravenous administration of Ang II (20 ng/kg/min, i.v. 30 min) or AT1 receptor antagonist (L-158,809, 0.33 mg/kg...

Abstract Introduction Due to the clinical implications of stroke in patients, “2IQBIONEURO” project promoted by Interreg VA Spain-Portugal programme (POCTEP) aims study treatment neurological diseases associated with ageing. The aim was evaluate feasibility technique selective cerebral artery (CA) embolisation for creation a model rabbits. Methods In 3 rabbits, through 4Fr introducer femoral ar...

A study was made on the prevalence of some parasitic infections appearing in domestic rabbits obtained from individual breeders in Serbia in order to improve the agricultural production of these animals. Aside from economic reasons (meat production and reproduction) rabbits are bred for the research purposes, and races are kept as household pets. For these reasons, among others, it is imp...

Prehypertensive rabbits with renal artery stenosis of 3 days' duration (one-kidney, one clip) are known to have increased pressor responses to norepinephrine and vasopressin; this pressor hyperresponsiveness is restored to normal by the angiotensin II (AII) antagonist, [ Sar1, Ile8 ] AII, even though plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma AII concentrations are not elevated. In the present stud...

The role of angiotensin II in the development of renal wrap hypertension was studied in rabbits that underwent either bilateral renal cellophane wrap or sham operation. In half the rabbits, angiotensin II production was blocked by continuous administration of enalapril. Four weeks after renal wrapping, mean arterial pressure had risen by 48 +/- 5 mm Hg in untreated rabbits, but by only 25 +/- 4...

aquired dental disease is characterized by deterioration of tooth quality, acquired malocclusion and elongation of the teeth roots. by now, there is no study to show incidence rate of dental diseases in iranian pet rabbits. the aim of this study is to investigate types of disorders (dental malocclusion and elongation of the teeth roots) and rate of dental diseases based on information received ...

background: the study was targeted to report the appearance of coproantigens in feces and circulating antibodies in the serum of fasciola gigantica  experimentally infected rabbits. methods: copro hyper immune serum (his) and excretory-secretory hyper immune serum (es his) antigens were used in a sandwich elisa for the detection of f. gigantica antigens in feces of 12 rabbits experimentally inf...

In qualitative experiments, virus was recovered as regularly from herpes simplex virus-infected rabbits receiving IUDR as from control rabbits. In a quantitative experiment performed on a few rabbits, virus was recovered in the same titer from lUDR-treated rabbits as from control rabbits for the first 2 days of therapy. Not until the third day was a lower titer observed in the IUDR-treated rabb...
