RESUMO
The effect of a single platelet-rich plasma injection for supraspinatus tendinopathy was assessed in 10 dogs. Subjective (owner-assessed) improvement in lameness and function were seen in 40% of dogs with improved tendon heterogeneity and echogenicity in 60%. There were no significant changes in gait reaction forces 6 wk after treatment.
Injection unique de plasma riche en plaquettes guidée par échographie pour le traitement d'une tendinopathie du muscle sus-épineux chez les chiens. L'effet d'une seule injection de plasma riche en plaquettes pour traiter une tendinopathie du muscle sus-épineux a été évalué chez 10 chiens. L'amélioration subjective (évaluation par les propriétaires) a été observée chez 40 % des chiens et 60 % ont manifesté une amélioration de l'hétérogénécité et de l'échogénicité du tendon. Il n'y a pas eu de changements significatifs des forces de réaction de la démarche 6 semaines après le traitement.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).

Factors that predict postoperative continence and incontinence were evaluated in 33 female dogs with surgically corrected ectopic ureters. The current study found that intramural or extramural, left- or right-sided, and unilateral or bilateral ectopic ureters were not significant factors influencing postoperative incontinence in affected dogs. The presence of either hydroureter or urinary tract infection was also not significantly associated with postoperative incontinence. Dogs with ectopic ureters that were incontinent postsurgically tended to remain unresolved.
