Resumen
Los perros con hiperadrenocorticismo (HAC) presentan comúnmente problemas de la piel como picazón e infecciones, no sólo los signos tradicionales. Este estudio destaca el prurito y la pioderma como indicadores clave en las derivaciones dermatológicas.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Dermatología veterinaria
- Endocrinología canina
Sus antecedentes:
- El hiperadrenocorticismo (HAC) en perros a menudo se presenta con diversos signos clínicos.
- Los signos tradicionales de HAC no siempre pueden ser evidentes en los casos de dermatología de referencia.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Evaluar las quejas presentadas, la historia clínica y los hallazgos del examen físico en perros diagnosticados con HAC en una consulta de dermatología.
- Identificar las manifestaciones dermatológicas comunes y poco comunes de la HAC.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión retrospectiva de las series de casos de 30 perros diagnosticados con HAC.
- Análisis de los expedientes médicos para presentar quejas, antecedentes y resultados de los exámenes físicos.
Principales resultados:
- El prurito fue el hallazgo histórico más común (87%).
- La pioderma bacteriana superficial (73%) y la alopecia (53%) fueron prevalentes en el examen físico.
- Se observó un aumento de la fosfatasa alcalina en el 67% de los casos.
Conclusiones:
- El prurito y la pioderma son indicadores clave de HAC en perros que se presentan a los especialistas en dermatología.
- Los dermatólogos deben considerar la HAC en perros con estos hallazgos, incluso sin síntomas clásicos de HAC.

1.8K
Adrenal gland disorders manifest when the production of adrenal hormones deviates from the norm, resulting in either excessive or insufficient concentrations.
Adrenal insufficiency, characterized by insufficient cortisol and aldosterone production, leads to conditions like Addison's disease. This disorder, affecting the adrenal cortex, exhibits symptoms such as skin bronzing, dehydration, low blood pressure, fatigue, and weight loss. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a genetic ailment causing...

01:25Antiasthma Drugs: Inhaled Corticosteroids and Glucocorticoids
383
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are anti-inflammatory drugs used primarily in treating persistent asthma and providing long-term maintenance. They target the bronchial mucosa, the lining of the airways, to control inflammation, a critical factor in asthma progression and exacerbation.
ICS work through a multifaceted mechanism of action. They suppress the inflammatory response caused by the proliferation of TH cells. They also reduce the transcription of the IL-2 gene, which is involved in the...

01:26Nephrotic Syndrome II : Assessment and Medical Management
21
IntroductionNephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder marked by excessive protein loss in the urine, leading to various systemic complications. This condition often results from damage to the glomeruli—the kidney's filtering units—causing proteinuria, low blood protein levels, and fluid retention. Understanding the assessment, diagnosis, and management of nephrotic syndrome is essential for effective treatment and prevention of further kidney damage.AssessmentPatient History: Document...

1.0K
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary isease (COPD) involves a group of progressive lung disorders characterized by persistent airflow limitation and chronic respiratory symptoms. Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS), encompassing features of both asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a group of progressive lung disorders that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. ACOS leads to complex clinical presentations that combine the inflammatory...

01:21Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Glucocorticoids
201
Glucocorticoids, a class of anti-inflammatory drugs, are pivotal in treating moderate to severe Crohn's disease by inducing remission. They exhibit their anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and chemokines like IL-8. In addition, they reduce the expression of inflammatory cell adhesion molecules and inhibit gene transcription of nitric oxide synthase, phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase-2...
