“…[7] reviewed the literature including 32 articles and summarized 40 cases concentrating on presentation, previous urethral inflammation and recurrence. From our review, we identified another five case reports describing solitary cases of UA [8–12]. Management of reported cases is less well described, often with short follow‐up, and there is limited evidence on the use of different techniques to manage UA.…”

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Urethral amyloidosis is rare and urethrotomy has been proposed as a suitable treatment option. By reviewing the literature and comparing our own experiences, we have shown urethroplasty to have good medium term outcomes in patients with urethral amyloidosis, whereas urethrotomy may lead to recurrence. OBJECTIVE Urethral amyloidosis (UA) is a rare condition which may be encountered by an urological surgeon. We reviewed the literature regarding the presentation, investigation and management of UA. PATIENTS AND METHODS A systematic review of the English literature on PubMed was conducted and we indentified 39 articles which reported 45 patients. We included our experience with four patients from our tertiary centre. RESULTS The majority of patients reported symptoms consistent with a urethral structure. Most patients were treated with urethrotomy, only two patients have been reported to have had a urethroplasty in the literature. Medium and long term outcome data is lacking for urethrotomy and urethroplasty. We found recurrence in our patients after urethromoty and incomplete resection of UA. We describe short (6 month) and medium term (18 month) outcomes in two patients who underwent augmentation urethroplasty. CONCLUSION Although urethrotomy and dilatation have been proposed in the past, we found these may still lead to disease progression and therefore urethroplasty may be the most appropriate long term management option.

“…One may hypothesise that older farmers would be using older-generation anthelmintics, e.g., benzimidazoles, for which extensive resistance has been found in H. contortus in Greece [ 31 ]. There may be also a further association of the farmers’ age with the recovery of H. contortus : older farmers would usually administer benzimidazoles in bolus form, the traditional form of antiparasitics, which nevertheless are manufactured for standard dosing to 40 kg-animals [ 32 ], whilst contemporary animals in the flocks in Greece, usually weigh over 50 to 60 kg [ 33 ]. This may lead to a systematic underdosing against trichostrongylids, potentially causing the widespread resistance of H. contortus in this country [ 31 ].…”

Helminth Infections in Dairy Sheep Found in an Extensive Countrywide Study in Greece and Potential Predictors for Their Presence in Faecal Samples

et al. 2023

The aims of the present study were: (a) to describe the prevalence of helminth infections from pooled faecal samples from sheep flocks across Greece and (b) to evaluate flock-related factors potentially associated with the presence of these infections in the flocks. An extensive countrywide study was performed on 325 sheep farms throughout Greece; faecal samples were collected from ewes and processed for the identification of helminth parasites. Helminths were detected in samples from 92.9% of flocks; these included Dicrocoelium dendriticum (16.7% of flocks), Fasciola hepatica (0.6%), Paramphistomum cervi (2.2%), Moniezia spp. (18.8%), Trichostrongylidae (85.5%), Nematodirus spp. (18.8%), Strongyloides papillosus (7.1%), Trichuris spp. (20.0%) and lungworms (17.8%). Mean Trichostrongylidae counts across all flocks in the study were 215 epg. Specifically, for Trichostrongylidae, there were differences between flocks that had or had not received anthelmintics during the two months prior to sampling, as well as between flocks located in various areas of the country. In multivariable analyses, for the outcome ‘high (>300) epg counts in faecal samples’, the month into the lactation period at sampling and the application of reproductive control practices on the farm emerged as significant factors; for the outcome ‘high proportion (>63%) of Teladorsagia spp. in faecal samples’, the availability of straw bedding emerged as a significant factor; and for the outcome ‘high proportion (>63%) of Haemonchus contortus in faecal samples’, the age of the farmer emerged as a significant factor. For the outcome ‘presence of Trichuris spp. in faecal samples’, the provision of finished feed (concentrate) to animals emerged as a significant factor, whilst, finally, for the outcomes ‘presence of D. dendriticum in faecal samples’ and ‘presence of lungworms in faecal samples,’ no significant factors emerged.
