- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoConstrucción de biomodelo para cateterización intravenosa en pacientes caninos(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Cevallos Durán, Manuel Francisco; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paul; 0106983042Peripheral canalization is one of the most practiced techniques by veterinary professionals. They are techniques that consume time, require practice, and generate pain. Consequently, the creation of a 3D-printed model of the canine forelimb will facilitate adequate intravenous cannulation since it guarantees the improvement of the quality of work, thus reducing stress in our patients. 3D printing is a manufacturing process in which a three-dimensional object is created from a digital model using successive layers of material. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods, this adds material layer by layer to build the desired object. One of the critical processes in 3D printing is obtaining a digital model, which can be achieved through medical scanning techniques, such as CT or MRI, which capture the patient's anatomy. These images are converted into 3D digital models, which are then used to generate the design file for the printer. The use of models in intravenous catheterization training provides several advantages. Students have the opportunity to become familiar with canine vascular anatomy and structure in a safe and risk-free manner. They can practice identifying relevant veins, assessing emerging tissues’ resistance and response , and refining catheter insertion and advancement techniques. Furthermore, models allow the repetition of procedures, which facilitates gradual learning and error correction. Keywords: Catheterization, 3D, cannulation, computed tomography (CT), peripheral pathways
- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoProtocolo de elaboración de quesos con enzimas de origen animal procedentes del cuajar de cabrito(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Siguenza Campoverde, Angel Fernando; Iñiguez Heredia, Franklin Alfredo; 0106063498Rennet is a substance of various origins that contains proteolytic enzymes like chymosin. These enzymes are necessary for milk coagulation, a fundamental stage in cheese- making. The present research work aimed to evaluate a protocol for producing artisanal cheeses made with animal-derived enzymes from goat rennet (Capra aegagrus hircus) compared to the use of chemical enzymatic rennet. The research used the in-depth and semi-structured interview technique, targeting experts in the field through surveys. The cheese-making process with animal-derived enzymes from goat rennet was contrasted against a traditional process. The importance of cheese making with animal-derived enzymes from goat rennet lies in several aspects, such as tradition and characteristic flavor, diversity of flavors, contribution to the local economy, valorization of natural resources, culinary attraction, and tourism. The research showed that following a linear regression, the higher the amount of goat rennet used, the better the cheese coagulation. The optimal value was 7 grams, with an effect that occurred at 12 minutes in 10 liters of milk (dose of 0.7 g/L). This coagulation time is considerably faster than other methods. It is important to note that using animal-derived rennet in cheese making encompasses ethical and dietary considerations, which has also generated debate in the food industry. Keywords: protocol; cheese; goat; enzymes; curdle.
- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoEfecto del enriquecimiento ambiental lúdico sobre la reducción de conductas estereotipadas en cerdos destetados(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Silverio Ramiréz, Juan Andrés; Maldonado Cornejo, Juan Andrés; 0706213527Weaning is a period of heightened stress for pigs. At this time, the first social relationships and hierarchical processes are established, in which disputes and aggressions occur among group members, which may cause injuries and impact production. Consequently, environmental enrichment in pig rearing was evaluated to avoid stress and stereotyped behaviors. The types of enrichment used were playful: 18 cm diameter soccer balls and 40 cm long chains placed at the eye level of the piglets. Four treatments of 10 animals each were created: With Ball, With Chain, With Chain and Ball, and Control using two replicates. Herd productive parameters, interactions with the enriching object and between individuals, and cortisol levels were evaluated for 28 days until 56 days post-weaning. It was observed that the most significant interactions occurred with the chains (p<0.05), while the opposite social interactions of the Witness were the highest (p<0.05). Regarding productive parameters, there were no differences between groups (p >0.05), except for consumption, which was higher in the Control (p<0.05). Cortisol changes among groups were not significant (p>0.05). It was concluded that the use of playful environmental enrichment during weaning reduces negative social interactions and enhances food consumption, in addition to helping the mental well-being of pigs. This animal welfare study was conducted for the first time under these conditions. Keywords Chains, Balls, Cortisol, Stereotyped, Post-weaning
- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoManejo anestésico de paciente con síndrome respiratorio braquiocefálico sometido a cirugía correctiva: estudio de caso(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Peñaranda Zambrano, Jorge Steeven; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paul; 0704662238The objective of this research is to evaluate anesthetic management, developing a specific protocol for the anesthesia of American Bully patients undergoing corrective surgery for Brachiocephalic Respiratory Syndrome. An anesthetic protocol specifically designed for an American Bully patient undergoing corrective surgery for Brachycephalic Syndrome (BRS) is presented. Given the potential risk of cardiac problems associated with this pathology in this breed, diagnostic tests, such as an electrocardiogram and x-rays, were performed before scheduled intervention to correct the syndrome. To ensure patient safety, anesthetic drugs were carefully selected taking into account the diagnostic results. The protocol included the administration of Omeprazole to prevent gastrointestinal complications, Maropitant to control nausea and vomiting, Dipyrone as an anti-inflammatory analgesic, Butorphanol as premedication, Propofol for maintenance, Sevoflurane for inhalation anesthesia, Meloxicam for anti-inflammatory analgesia, Morphine to control pain, Atropine as premedication and Adrenaline for emergency situations. Results: The data collected in the tables highlight the appropriateness of the selection of anesthetic drugs for the patient. During the surgical intervention, no significant complications were observed, and physiological constants remained within pre-established ranges. This behavior clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of the set of drugs used both in the preanesthetic phase and in the maintenance of anesthesia. These results allow us to conclude that the patient responded favorably to the anesthetic protocol implemented, which solidly supports the safety and effectiveness of the surgical procedure performed.
- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoCambios clínicos y conductuales post operatorios de un paciente con SRB: estudio de caso(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Idrovo Calle, Andrea Nohelia; Castillo Hidalgo, Edy Paul; 0605694470The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the clinical signs and behavioral modifications of a 2-year-old American Bully canine patient, affected by Brachycephalic Respiratory Syndrome (BRS), during the postoperative period. Prior to the scheduled surgery, the medical history (HC) was performed, which allowed us to document the patient's post-surgical changes. In addition, the response of the respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, skeletal muscle and neurosensory systems to the stress imposed by exercise was evaluated through the 6-minute effort test, and animal welfare evaluations were also carried out through freedom of sleep. and comfort, feeding, and interaction with other dogs over a 5-day period. The surgical procedure consisted of two phases: the first involved the correction of the elongated soft palate through staphylectomy, while the second phase included rhinoplasty and correction of nares stenosis. Additionally, the same tests were carried out to collect post-surgery data. After the completion of the surgery, the patient remained under observation during which time an episode of respiratory dyspnea occurred, a phenomenon considered “common” in these patients attributed to the presentation of postsurgical laryngeal edema. Subsequently, saturation remained between 87% and 96%. % SPO2, with an average of 91% SPO2, respiratory sounds decreased significantly, and the feeding process, previously affected by SBR, showed improvement on the first postoperative day, an increase in the quality of sleep and rest of the patient was also observed.
