The paper reviews literature data considering the importance of the Notch receptor protein family and its signalling pathways in different molecular mechanisms of normal or pathological functioning. Notch proteins are single-pass transmembrane receptors encoded by four related genes in mammals,...

Dental eruption in cats and dogs ends by the age of seven months. By that age, dogs should have 42 teeth and cats 30. Any missing tooth from the dental arch should be radiologically investigated. This study aims to present a protocol for a clear diagnosis when the clinician is facing up a missing...

Starting from the simplest artificial bodies made of paper/paper wrapped with thread, without using any anatomical landmarks,we have nowadays reached the production of complex and anatomically complete artificial bodies. This has been made possible primarily by a thorough anatomical study of the...

The main aim of our research was to determine the amplitude of ECG waves in goats. Thereby, we investigated two lead systems: limb leads and Dubois leads. We mention that the values obtained were compared with each other in order to determine which is the optimal lead system for ECG recording in...

The objective of this study is to describe the circumstances of a case characterized by severe hypercapnia in a pig, during anaesthesia for a surgical research procedure- nerve reconstruction, highlighting the importance of familiarization with the anaesthesia machine and technique and also to...

Persistent deciduous teeth are frequently encountered in small breeds. The explanation resides in the small volume of bone in which the same number of teeth need to be aligned. This case report aims to reassess the importance of dental radiography in everyday practice. A seven-month-old Pomeranian...

Intoxication by ethylene glycol is the second most common cause of animal mortality, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers. Ethylene glycol is a product with low acute toxicity when acting through skin contact or if inhaled. But its toxicity is fully manifested when it is...

Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease caused by species of the genus Eimeria, clinically manifested through weight loss, diarrhoea with bloody faeces, dehydration, and death, leading to important economic losses. Coccidiosis in rabbits has two forms: hepatic and intestinal. The aim of this study was...

Laparoscopic surgery is gaining popularity among the veterinary surgical community. Training in minimally-invasive surgery is nowadays recognized as a valid instrument for teaching surgeons about different laparoscopic procedures. Laparoscopic surgery requires a unique subset of surgical skills...

The study aims to describe the morphological characteristics of the chimpanzee skull (Pan troglodytes, Blumenbach, 1775). The genus Pan, like the genus Homo, is part of the order Primates (Linnaeus, 1758) and presents similar characteristics. The particularities of the skull are valuable elements...
