“…Sea turtle conservation has been taken up as a goal by several scientific and academic disciplines, including veterinary medicine [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. The 2D model presented in this research provides a novel, accessible, valuable, intuitive, and interactive anatomic resource for studying the head of the loggerhead sea turtle.…”

“…Furthermore, in recent decades, the number of veterinary surgeons involved in sea turtle conservation in wildlife rehabilitation hospitals has increased notably [ 6 ]. The recent publication of comprehensive books on medicine and surgery in sea turtles and reptiles has been an important help to veterinarians, veterinary students, and veterinary technicians who work with sea turtles [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], but continuing education is also necessary. In addition, the incorporation of “conservation medicine”, a discipline that links animal health with ecosystem health and global environmental change, and “zoological and wildlife medicine” into current and future veterinary curricula at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels has also been supported [ 12 , 13 ].…”

The head of the sea turtle is susceptible to congenital, developmental, traumatic, and infectious disorders. An accurate interpretation and thorough understanding of the anatomy of this region could be useful for veterinary practice on sea turtles. The purpose of this study was to develop an interactive two-dimensional (2D) atlas viewing software of the head of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) using images obtained via osteology, gross dissections, and computed tomography (CT). The atlas is composed of 10 osteology, 13 gross dissection, 10 sagittal multiplanar reconstructed CT (bone and soft tissue kernels), and 22 transverse CT (bone and soft tissue windows) images. All images were segmented and colored using ITK-SNAP software. The visualization and image assessment were performed using the Unity 3D platform to facilitate the development of interactive content in 2D. This atlas can be useful as an interactive anatomic resource for assessment of the head of loggerhead sea turtles.

“…Our model predicts that clinical means of supporting (e.g., artificial ventilation) will hasten equilibration of inhalation anaesthesia. Managing temperature, minimizing surgical blood volume loss, and providing fluid support will prevent unnecessary reductions in , and are likely to minimize changes in shunt fraction that could lead to further swings in anaesthetic uptake and elimination rates 42 . In the clinic, while mask or box induction are now increasingly uncommon in domestic mammals, given animal stress and environmental contamination concerns, the uptake of gas anaesthesia in reptiles is hastened by the strategy of inducing at high partial pressures of inhaled agent (e.g., mask or box induction with vaporiser 5% isoflurane, 8% sevoflurane, or higher using open-drop systems 7 , 43 ).…”

Ectothermy and cardiac shunts profoundly slow the equilibration of inhaled anaesthetics in a multi-compartment model

The use of inhalational anaesthesia is ubiquitous in terrestrial vertebrates. Given the dependence of these agents on delivery by the cardiorespiratory system, we developed a new computational model predicting equilibration of inhaled anaesthetics in mammalian and ectotherm conditions including the ability of reptiles to maintain vascular shunts. A multi-compartment model was constructed from simultaneously-solved equations, verified by comparison to the literature for endo and ectotherm physiology. The time to 90% equilibration of anaesthetic in arterial blood (t90) is predicted and used to compare anaesthetics and physiologies. The five to tenfold lower cardiac output and minute ventilation of ectothermic vertebrates is predicted to slow equilibration times by five to ten times leading to 90% equilibration in ectotherm arterial blood of over 200 min, compounded by reduction in body temperature, and the extent of right-to-left vascular shunts. The impact of these findings is also influenced by the solubility coefficient of the anaesthetic, such that at net right-to-left shunt fractions of over 0.8, sevoflurane loses the advantage of faster equilibration, in comparison with isoflurane. We explore clinical strategies to regulate anaesthetic uptake in ectotherms by managing convectional flow especially by supportive ventilation and reduction of the right-to-left shunt.

“…Quinolones are not allowed to use in poultry, where eggs are consumed by humans ( 6 ). A documentary at the University of Georgia showed enrofloxacin sensitivity for gram-negatives was 89%, and gram-positive was 38% ( 7 ). Enrofloxacin is signified for the treatment of respiratory and alimentary tract infections ( 8 ).…”

Comparative Study on Pharmacokinetics of Four Long-Acting Injectable Formulations of Enrofloxacin in Pigs

A comparative study on pharmacokinetics of four long-acting enrofloxacin injectable formulations was investigated in 36 healthy pigs after intramuscular injection according to the recommended single dose @ 2.5 mg/kg body weight. The drug concentrations in the plasma were computed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection. WinNonLin5.2.1 software was used to analyze the experimental data and compared it under one-way ANOVA using SPSS software with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The main pharmacokinetic parameters, that is, the maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax), the time to maximum concentration (Tmax), area under the time curve concentration (AUCall) and Terminal half-life (T1/2) were 733.84 ± 129.87, 917.00 ± 240.13, 694.84 ± 163.49, 621.98 ± 227.25 ng/ml, 2.19 ± 0.0.66, 1.50 ± 0.37, 2.89 ± 0.24, 0.34 ± 0.13 h, 7754.43 ± 2887.16, 8084.11 ± 1543.98, 7369.42 ± 2334.99, 4194.10 ± 1186.62 ng h/ml, 10.48 ± 2.72, 10.37 ± 2.38, 10.20 ± 2.81, and 10.61 ± 0.86 h for 10% enrofloxacin (Alkali), 20% enrofloxacin (Acidic), Yangkang and control drug Nuokang® respectively. There were significant differences among Cmax, Tmax, and AUCall of three formulations compare with that of the reference formulation. No significant differences were observed among the T1/2 for tested formulations compare with the reference formulation. The pharmacokinetic parameters showed that the tested formulations were somewhat better compared to the reference one. The calculated PK/PD indices were effective for bacteria such as Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida with values higher than the cut-off points (Cmax/MIC90≥10–12 and AUC/MIC90 ≥ 125). However, they were not effective against bacteria like Haemophilus parasuis, Streptococcus suis, E. coli, and Bordetella bronchiseptica where lower values were obtained.
