Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Epistaxis

Epistaxis

Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Summary

Nasal polyps in dogs can cause significant respiratory issues and are diagnosed using imaging. Surgical removal is often effective, but recurrence is possible, with radiation therapy offering a treatment option.

Background:

Nasal polyps are benign growths that can cause clinical signs in dogs.
Diagnosis often involves advanced imaging techniques.
Treatment strategies vary, with potential for recurrence.

Observation:

This case series details five dogs diagnosed with nasal polyps between 2000 and 2011.
Clinical signs included reverse sneezing, nasal discharge, epistaxis, and stertor.
Computed tomographic findings revealed soft tissue masses, turbinate destruction, and bone lysis.

Findings:

Surgical interventions included dorsal rhinotomy, ventral rhinotomy, and nasal flushing.
Three dogs achieved resolution of clinical signs post-treatment.
One dog experienced recurrence and was successfully treated with megavoltage radiation therapy.
Another dog had recurrent nasal disease eight months after surgery.

Implications:

Nasal polyps should be considered in dogs presenting with specific respiratory signs and nasal lesions.
Rhinotomy can be a successful treatment, but recurrence is a possibility.
Radiation therapy presents a viable option for recurrent cases.
