In relation to positional changes of the intestine, what is a torsion?

Please select an option Incorrect. This is an intussusception, which is defined as telescoping of one section of intestine into the lumen of an adjacent section. The part of the intestine which passes into the lumen of the next section is referred to as the intussusceptum; the intestine into which the intussusceptum enters (and often becomes stuck) is known as the intussuscipiens.

Which is the best diagnostic technique for definitively diagnosing an oesophageal stricture?

Please select an option Incorrect. Fluoroscopy may be unremarkable in animals with benign oesophageal strictures. Oesophagoscopy should be used to provide a definitive diagnosis, confirming the site and severity of a stricture and also to exclude the presence of an intraluminal mass. WikiVet Article: Oesophageal stricture Incorrect. Although barium contrast radiography is normally diagnostic of the disorder, demonstrating narrowing of the oesophagus, it may not exclude intraluminal masses. Oesophagoscopy is required for definitive diagnosis. It should be used to confirm the site and severity of the stricture and also to exclude the presence of an intraluminal mass. WikiVet Article: Oesophageal stricture Incorrect. Although ultrasonography may visualise a stricture caused by extramural mass compression, it is not usually useful in diagnosing small benign strictures. Oesophagoscopy should be used to provide a definitive diagnosis, confirming the site and severity of a stricture and also to exclude the presence of an intraluminal mass. WikiVet Article: Oesophageal stricture Incorrect. Survey radiographs are usually unremarkable in animals with benign oesophageal strictures. Oesophagoscopy should be used to confirm the site and severity of a stricture and also to exclude the presence of an intraluminal mass. WikiVet Article: Oesophageal stricture Correct!

What are the two most important first line emergency treatments for gastric dilatation and volvulus?

Please select an option Incorrect. The administration of lidocaine is not considered a first line emergency treatment. It may be required to once the dog is stabilized in order to treat a cardiac arrhythmia. The two most important first line emergency treatments are gastric decompression and fluid therapy. Gastric decompression is essential as gastric dilatation can cause caudal vena cava obstruction and impair venous return to the heart. Fluid therapy should be administered in shock doses in order to treat the hypovolaemic shock. WikiVet Article: Gastric Dilation and Volvulus Incorrect. Although these drugs may be required once the animal is more stable, they are not considered a part of the first line emergency treatment. Pure opioids such as morphine can be given to provide analgesia. Broad spectrum antibiotics should be given at surgical induction due to the possibility of endotoxaemia and bacterial translocation at surgery. The two most important first line emergency treatments are gastric decompression and fluid therapy. Gastric decompression is essential as gastric dilatation can cause caudal vena cava obstruction and impair venous return to the heart. Fluid therapy should be administered in shock doses in order to treat the hypovolaemic shock. WikiVet Article: Gastric Dilation and Volvulus Correct! Fluid therapy and gastric decompression will stabilize the animal. Gastric decompression must be carried out as soon as possible as gastric dilatation can cause caudal vena cava obstruction and impair venous return to the heart. The gastric wall can also become devitalised. Fluid therapy should be administered in shock doses in order to treat the hypovolaemic shock. WikiVet Article: Gastric Dilation and Volvulus Incorrect. Although fluid therapy is regarded as one of the first line emergency treatments to treat hypovolaemic shock, lidocaine is not. Lidocaine may be administered once the animal is stabilize in order to treat a cardiac arrhythmia. The two most important first line emergency treatments are gastric decompression and fluid therapy. Gastric decompression is essential as gastric dilatation can cause caudal vena caval obstruction and impair venous return to the heart. Fluid therapy should be administered in shock doses in order to treat the hypovolaemic shock. WikiVet Article: Gastric Dilation and Volvulus Incorrect. Pure opioids may be administered to provide analgesia once the animal has been stabilised by gastric decompression and fluid therapy. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be avoided due to their adverse effects on the gastric mucosa. The two most important first line emergency treatments are gastric decompression and fluid therapy.

Which is the best diagnostic technique for definitively diagnosing chronic gastritis?

Please select an option Incorrect. Varying degrees of hyperaemia, hypertrophy and haemorrhage due to chronic gastritis may be evident. However, if no endoscopic lesions are visualised, chronic gastritis cannot be ruled out. Biopsy of the stomach followed by histological examination should always be performed and is mandatory for definitive diagnosis. Biopsies may be taken via endoscopy as this is less invasive than via surgery, but may provide less detail of the deeper tissue layers than full-thickness surgical biopsy, e.g. in gastric tumours. For chronic gastritis, endoscopic biopsy is sufficient. WikiVet Article: Chronic gastritis Incorrect. Haematology and biochemistry may reveal possible effects of chronic gastritis such as anaemia due to chronic blood loss, however, the findings are not diagnostic. Biopsy of the stomach followed by histological examination should always be performed and is mandatory for definitive diagnosis. Biopsies may be taken via endoscopy as this is less invasive than via surgery, but may provide less detail of the deeper tissue layers than full-thickness surgical biopsy, e.g. in gastric tumours. For chronic gastritis, endoscopic biopsy is sufficient. WikiVet Article: Chronic gastritis Incorrect. Contrast abdominal radiography may reveal thickening or irregularity of the gastric rugae but does not provide a definitive diagnosis. Biopsy of the stomach followed by histological examination should always be performed and is mandatory for definitive diagnosis. Biopsies may be taken via endoscopy as this is less invasive than via surgery, but may provide less detail of the deeper tissue layers than full-thickness surgical biopsy, e.g. in gastric tumours.
