This document provides an overview of dwarfism (bone dysplasias), including classification, causes, signs and symptoms, radiographic findings, and treatment for various types. It discusses proportionate vs disproportionate dwarfism and classifications based on location and source. Specific types covered include achondroplasia, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, chondrodysplasia punctata, Kniest syndrome, metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, and mucopolysaccharidoses. Treatment focuses on managing skeletal deformities and complications.
This document summarizes three conditions - Achondroplasia, Pseudoachondroplasia, and Hypochondroplasia. Achondroplasia is characterized by failure of normal cartilage growth, resulting in short stature and limb abnormalities. Pseudoachondroplasia involves irregular, fragmented epiphyses and flared metaphyses. Hypochondroplasia causes short stature through mild metaphyseal flare and narrowing of the lumbar spine.
Cervical radiculopathy is caused by spinal nerve root dysfunction resulting in dermatomal pain, parasthesias, myotomal weakness, and impaired deep tendon reflexes. It is commonly caused by herniated discs or bony spurs compressing nerve roots. Diagnosis involves history, physical exam testing dermatomes and myotomes, and imaging such as MRI. Treatment includes immobilization, traction, medications, injections, and sometimes surgery for severe or progressive cases.
Neural tube defects are congenital malformations that occur due to defects during neural tube formation in early embryonic development. They can be open, where neural tissue is exposed, or closed, where neural tissue is confined but covered by dysplastic skin. Ultrasound and MRI are used for prenatal diagnosis and show findings characteristic of specific defects like anencephaly, encephalocele, myelomeningocele, or craniorachischisis. Management involves prenatal counseling and postnatal surgical intervention if needed.

Current trends in treatment of fracture.pptxRekha Pathak
This document discusses current trends in the treatment of fractures, including the use of bone morphogenetic proteins, stem cells, bone grafts, scaffolds, platelet rich plasma, tissue engineering, and gene therapy. BMPs enhance bone cell maturation and function, while stem cells can differentiate into bone cells and aid repair. Autologous bone grafts are still the gold standard but alternatives like allografts, biomaterials, and synthetic bone substitutes are increasingly used. Platelet rich plasma and growth factors also help bone healing. Tissue engineering combines cells, scaffolds, and growth factors for regeneration. Gene therapy aims to promote healing by transferring genes into cells to stimulate bone growth.
The document summarizes traumatic reticular perforation (TRP) in cattle. TRP occurs when a sharp foreign body penetrates the wall of the reticulum, causing acute local peritonitis. Clinical signs include abdominal pain, anorexia, and fever. Diagnosis involves abdominal ultrasound or laparoscopy to detect foreign bodies. Treatment involves surgical removal of foreign bodies via rumenotomy. Complications can include peritonitis, abscesses, and traumatic pericarditis if the foreign body penetrates the diaphragm. Prognosis is poor if complications like pericarditis develop.
Hernia is defined as the protrusion of body cavity contents through an opening in the cavity wall. A hernia consists of a ring, sac, and contents. Diaphragmatic hernia is the passage of abdominal viscera into the thoracic cavity through a congenital or acquired opening in the diaphragm. Clinical signs include reduced appetite, bloating, and breathing difficulties. Diagnosis involves physical exam, x-rays, and exploratory surgery. Surgical repair involves replacing herniated organs, closing diaphragmatic openings, and suturing muscle layers. Postoperative care focuses on respiratory support, antibiotics, and pain management.
Thoracic surgery involves approaches like intercostal thoracotomy, rib resection, split rib, and median sternotomy to access the thoracic cavity for conditions like diaphragmatic hernia and abscesses. Key anatomical considerations for these approaches include the musculature, vasculature, and respiratory physiology of the thoracic wall and pleural spaces. Common indications for thoracic surgery are penetrating wounds, foreign bodies, fractures, abscesses, and tumors affecting the lungs, heart, or pleural spaces.
This document provides an overview of neuroanatomy and physiology. It discusses the structure and function of neurons, including their classification and the passage of action potentials.

This document summarizes key concepts in radiology and radiation physics. It describes the discovery of x-rays by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1898 and defines x-rays as gamma rays of electromagnetic radiation. It explains that the energy of electromagnetic radiation is inversely proportional to wavelength and that radiation with energy greater than 15 eV can cause ionization within cells. It also outlines the units used to quantify radiation exposure, dose, and dose equivalency, and discusses the interaction of radiation with matter through processes like the photoelectric effect and Compton scattering.
External fixation, also known as external coaption or limb splinting, provides temporary support and immobilization for fractures. It is commonly used as a bridge to surgery or definitive treatment. Key factors for application include properly aligning and immobilizing the fractured bones and surrounding joints to promote healing without disturbing fracture alignment. Common external fixation devices include splints, casts, slings and bandages which are applied based on the location and type of injury.
The concept of peripheral nerve repairRekha Pathak
This document discusses nerve degeneration and regeneration. It describes Wallerian degeneration that occurs when a nerve fiber is severed from its cell body. The distal part of the nerve fiber undergoes changes with the axis cylinder and myelin sheath degenerating. Schwann cells proliferate and remove remnants. Attempts at repair include regeneration through Schwann cells forming a tube for new axis cylinders to grow through. Peripheral nerves can regenerate within 10-12 months but central nervous system nerves cannot.

3. The document also lists and describes common types of surgical instruments that should be included in surgical packs, such as tissue forceps, hemostats, needle holders, and scissors, as well as specialized instruments used for teat and udder surgeries.
Caesarean section, also known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure where incisions are made through a woman's abdomen and uterus to deliver one or more babies. Indications for a C-section include uterine inertia, obstructive dystocia, rupture of the uterus, animal in compromised condition, twin pregnancy in mares, and incomplete cervical dilation. The ideal conditions for surgery include a clean area with minimal airborne contamination to prevent post-operative complications. The incision site varies by species, with dogs receiving a ventral midline incision and cattle receiving a left lower flank incision. During the procedure, the fetus is removed, the umbilical cord is ligated and
The document discusses various methods for fracture fixation in animals, including external coaptation, splinting, casting, pinning, plating, and intramedullary nailing. The methods vary in their advantages and disadvantages depending on the location and type of fracture. Proper technique and design are important for achieving stability and preventing complications.
Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect with four abnormalities: 1) a ventricular septal defect, 2) pulmonary stenosis, 3) overriding aorta, and 4) right ventricular hypertrophy. This causes deoxygenated blood to bypass the lungs and mix with oxygenated blood, resulting in cyanosis. The severity depends on the degree of pulmonary stenosis and ventricular septal defect. Surgical repair involves relieving the stenosis and closing the VSD.
1. Caesarean section, also known as a C-section, is a surgical procedure where an incision is made through the abdomen and uterus to deliver one or more fetuses.
2. Indications for a C-section include uterine inertia, fetal issues like malpresentation or oversized fetus, uterine rupture, and medical issues in the mother.
3. The procedure requires strict aseptic technique to prevent post-operative complications like infection. Incision sites vary by species, such as a ventral midline incision for dogs and left flank incision for cattle.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.
