Berkeley – mechentel news – Mast cell infiltration occurs in malignant, inflammatory (eg, allergic, infectious), and idiopathic disease processes in humans and animals. Here, we describe the clinical and histological features of a unique proliferative conjunctivitis occurring in 15 cats. Ocular specimens were examined histologically, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1) was performed on ocular tissues obtained […]

Rocklin – mechentel news -To evaluate the efficacy of superficial keratectomy and conjunctival advancement hood flap (SKCAHF) for the treatment of bullouskeratopathy in canine patients., 9  dogs (12 eyes) diagnosed with progressive corneal edema underwent superficial keratectomy followed by placement ofconjunctival advancement hood flaps. The canine patients were examined pre- and postoperatively using in vivo confocal microscopy, ultrasonic pachymetry (USP), and Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT).

Balıkesir – mechentel news – To Investigate alterations in the expression and localization of carbohydrate units in rat retinal cells exposed to cisplatin toxicity, we evaluated putative protective effects of selenium on retinal cells subjected to cisplatin. . Eighteen healthy Wistar rats were divided into three equal groups: 1. Control, 2. Cisplatin and 3. Cisplatin+selenium groups. After anesthesia, the right eye of each rat was enucleated. Histochemically, retinal cells of control […]
