    Abstract Right ventricular (RV) strain analysis using 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D STE) permits practitioners to assess regional and global deformation of the myocardium. Recently, assessment of the longitudinal right ventricle (RV) strain and strain rate using 2D STE has been reported in dogs. Although longitudinal deformation is the dominant component of the RV systole, RV myocardial fibers of the superficial layer are oriented circumferentially and these contribute to the RV pump function (radial deformation). Because this strain component has not been investigated in dogs, we have assessed radial RV strain and strain rate using 2D STE in healthy dogs and dogs with pulmonary hypertension (PH). We have recruited 74 dogs (40 healthy dogs and 34 dogs with PH) in which we have analyzed radial RV free wall strain and strain rate using Xstrain

    Abstract Non-permanent central venous catheters (CVCs), are the most commonly used vascular access in veterinary patients undergoing hemodialysis. In human dialysis patients, CVC infection represents a common cause of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to evaluate the prevalence of bacterial colonization of CVCs in dogs submitted to hemodialysis treatment at time of CVC removal. The CVCs of all dogs submitted to hemodialysis (n = 23) at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital ''Mario Modenato'' of the University of Pisa between January 2015 and December 2016 were considered. For all dogs, data regarding signalment, reason for hemodialysis treatment, duration of catheterization (≤15 or >15 days), CVC complications, and 30-day survival were considered. Statistical analysis was performed using Graph Pad Prism™. Five over 23 dogs (22%) showed positive bacterial culture of CVC (+), and 18/23 dogs (78%) negative culture of CVC (-). The most prevalent microorganism was Staphylococcus Spp (3/5; 60%). No significant difference was found in the prevalence of CVC infection according to age, gender, reason for hemodialysis, CVC complications, duration of catheterization, and outcome. No statistically significant difference (p = 0.64) in survival curves was reported at log rank analysis between dogs with CVC - and CVC +. The prevalence of bacterial CVC contamination in our dialysis dogs showed relatively low. Exclusive use of CVC for hemodialysis, good hygiene practice during CVC management, and use of chlorhexidine as an antiseptic should be strongly encouraged.

    Abstract A 4-year-old, 20 kg, female mixed breed dog was referred to our Veterinary Teaching Hospital for severe respiratory distress. Thoracic ultrasonography revealed severe pleural effusion with multiple anechoic cystic structures within the fluid. Abdominal cavity presented few small and irregular cystic structures. Diagnosis of infection by larval stages of Mesocestoides spp. on the basis of a PCR approach was performed and therapy with oral fenbendazole was started. Due to an incomplete clinical response, the dog underwent to remove metacestodes cysts by surgical debridement. The dog showed no recurrence of clinical signs for 12 months after the surgery. Pleural larval cestodiasis should be added as a differential diagnosis in the list of diseases causing pleural effusion in dogs.
