Practical Bovine Ultrasonography Workshop

Wednesday, January 20 2016

Abbeyville Veterinary Hospital is a long established multi-vet mixed veterinary practice situated in Cork City. Most of the work is in the area of dairy and companion animal practice but suckler beef herds and equine work also make up a proportion of the business. Over the years Abbeyville has steadily built up  fertility work to a significant level and clients demand exacting standards but appreciate the service and advice.. Ultrasonography is at the heart of this fertility work and  is performed throughout the year. Many of the farmer clients set up fertility appointments at the start of the season and tailored packages are customised to their individual needs. Fertility and Ultrasonography, which is all performed on an appointment basis during regular working hours, has provided a new and valuable income stream to the Practice.

The tutor

Fergus Smith MVB Cert DHH qualified from UCD in 1992. He has over 20 years experience in Large Animal practice. He has attended several ultrasonography courses delivered by international experts and has used the skills learnt at these workshops to help increase the level and quality of fertility work offered to the bovine clients of the Practice. He has run courses for farmer clients to demonstrate the benefits of veterinary involvement,including ultrasonography, in fertility improvement of their herds.

The course

This is a one day course aimed at vets new to the area of bovine ultrasonography and to vets who wish to refresh and improve their current ultrasonography skills. The course will consist of a morning of lectures followed by lunch and an afternoon of Practical demonstration on a host farm. Course participants will learn by scanning animals themselves with support and demonstration from the tutor and from Vetequip personnel. The course will be delivered at Abbeyville’s new purpose built veterinary hospital and the host farm is a modern, large progressive dairy farm with good facilities and quiet animals.

Venue: Fethard Equine Hospital, Fethard, Co Tipperary, Ireland

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Respiratory problems are amongst the most frequently encountered conditions in competition horse practice and diagnosing a specific disease can at times be challenging.  This 1-day practical course is suitable for veterinarians from mixed and equine practice who are keen to update their knowledge and especially the practical skills on how to work-up and treat horses with respiratory conditions.  A panel of internationally renowned specialists will be presenting the following highly-illustrated lectures in English in the morning:  

• Structure and Clinical Examination of the Equine Upper Respiratory Tract
• Conditions of the Nasal Passages, Pharynx & Larynx
• The Sinuses & Guttural Pouches
• Diagnostics of Lower Respiratory Tract Conditions
• Conditions of the Lower Respiratory Tract & Thorax

Open and frank discussions are encouraged and the speakers will share their personal experiences, successes and failures with attendees.

In the afternoon, 4 hours of practical sessions will give delegates plenty of opportunity to put theory into practice on live horses and cadaver specimens and to ask questions in small groups (2 – 4 delegates per endoscope), all under the supervision of the specialists. The following practical sessions will be covered during the course: 

• Overground endoscopy demonstration on  a racehorse  
• Thoracic ultrasound
• Endoscopy of the upper & lower respiratory tract (incl. bronchoalveolar lavage & tracheal wash techniques)      
• Sinus & guttural pouch lavage techniques

Onemytis Air Plasma Surgical unit heralds New Dawn for Veterinary Practitioners

Onemytis Air Plasma Surgical Units are set to revolutionise Veterinary Surgery.

Basic explanation of the Technology:

Airplasma® is based on a simple idea: transforming air into an ideal conductor through the generation of high-voltage pulses using a high frequency sinusoidal oscillator.

 The energy flow,with a mean dissipation temperature of 50°C, allows immediate tissue vaporisation, which ensures capillary haemostasis  in a precise and controlled fashion with minimum  tissue trauma .

A substantial difference compared to conventional electrosurgery, which alternates or combines cutting mode (with temperatures of over 100°C) and fulguration, with voltage peaks of 5,000 volts. 

In addition, 

Airplasma®completely does away with the need to use external inert gas sources (argon or helium)
and closed circuits with return plates, such as those used in APC technology, thereby avoiding
the involvement of sensitive organs and the generation of heat inside the patient’s body.

Onemytis in Action.

There are many Youtube videos available describing  Onemytis surgical procedures  but I think the more compelling images are available on the following facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/notes/summerhill-veterinary-hospital/so-whats-so-special-about-the-healing-properties-of-onemytis-air-plasma-surgery/684228768376275.

Precision,speed and opsite cleanliness enable the surgeon to operate in a much improved environment while at the same time reducing patient trauma and  recovery time.

Contact the following if you would like to promote"The Cleancut" image for your practise and we will arrange demonstrations and training.

Veterinary Dental X Rays made simple with the Agfa CR range

Agfa HealthCare launches veterinary intra-oral dental option for CR 30-X

Allows mixed use of CR veterinary solution for intra-oral dental and general radiography applications

High image quality, empowered by MUSICA2 and dedicated dental intra-oral image plates.
- Flexible intra-oral image plates available in all sizes, to reflect large range of animal sizes.

Agfa HealthCare announced recently that it has launched a new intra-oral dental option for veterinary practices, to be used with its successful, compact CR 30-X computed radiography (CR) solution. With the addition of this unique feature, the CR 30-X allows mixed veterinary use of intra-oral dental and general radiology applications.

Supports growing need for improving animal dental health The new intra-oral dental option answers a growing need amongst animal healthcare practitioners for solutions to address gum and tooth disorders. Gum disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem for pets; a dental exam is the first step towards preventing this disease.

The flexible intra-oral image plates enhance the animal's comfort, and come in all standard sizes to cover the wide animal dental size range. There is very little additional investment for existing users of the CR 30-X: just one cassette and a set of the dedicated dental image plates.

A versatile, high-quality imaging solution for veterinary clinics The versatile CR 30-X has proven very useful in animal care: of the approximately 14,000 installed units around the world, some 2,000 have been sold to veterinary clinics and private practices. The solution is empowered with MUSICA2 gold-standard image processing software and the NX workstation. MUSICA2 analyzes each image and automatically applies the appropriate image enhancement parameters independent of the exam type, while the NX workstation provides very fast image acquisition and a smooth workflow. 
Animal healthcare practices benefit from the solution's very high image quality and improved efficiency, thanks to the speed of image availability, the elimination of the need for retakes and the ability to share images across sites and with specialist veterinarians.

Dedicated and unique solution for veterinary practices "We are pleased with the launch of the veterinary intra-oral dental option for the CR 30-X," comments Dirk Debusscher, Vice President Imaging at Agfa HealthCare. "It offers our veterinarian customers in animal clinics and private practices a unique solution for both their general and their dental exams. It also demonstrates our continued focus on developing dedicated solutions for this important customer group."

The intra-oral dental option has already been tested in several veterinary locations across the UK, Germany and 

Belgium

The Agfa system is simple to use,produces excellent results and will enhance the diagnostic abilities of your practise

Let us not forget the joy and satisfaction of a job well done without digging deeply into practise resources
