Ultrasonographic examination of selected small structures in dogs and cats: thyroid glands, lymph nodes and adrenal glands Universiteit Gent
Ultrasonography has become an important imaging modality for the evaluation of small structures, such as thyroid glands, lymph nodes and adrenal glands, because it is relatively inexpensive, it is non-invasive and it does not require general anesthesia. Both normal and abnormal small structures can be seen, though this depends to a great extent on the quality of the equipment and the operator skills. For thyroid glands, it can be used to assess ...
Impact of duration of critical illness on the adrenal glands of human intensive care patients KU Leuven
Context: Adrenal insufficiency is considered to be prevalent during critical illness, although the pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria and optimal therapeutic strategy remain controversial. During critical illness, reduced cortisol breakdown contributes substantially to elevated plasma cortisol and low plasma ACTH concentrations. Objective: As ACTH has a trophic impact on the adrenal cortex, we hypothesized that with longer duration of critical ...
Effect of propofol anesthesia on ultrasonographic measurements of the adrenal glands of healthy cats Universiteit Gent
Although real-time ultrasonography is feasible in awake cats, cats are frequently anesthetized with propofol, if they are uncooperative or during perioperative ultrasonographic examinations. Propofol induces hypotension in cats and may cause venous vasodilation that redistributes blood volume in abdominal organs and organomegaly. In this paper, ultrasonographic adrenal measurements are compared before and during intravenous propofol anesthesia ...
