Last lab test (eye+tissue irritating) Flashcards
Pilocarpine effect
Parasympathomimetic effect:
- Miosis (constrict pupils)
- contraction of ciliary fibers
- opening of Schlemm-canals–> aqueous humor can be channelled (decr. IOP)
Pilocarpine indications
-local treatment of glaucoma
1% eye drop
Other drugs also used to treat glaucoma
Timolol and Betaxolol (belongs to sympathomimetics)
Atropine effect
Parasympatholytic effect:
-mydriasis
-relaxation of ciliary fibers
-CLOSURE of Schlemm-canals–> aqueous humor can not be channeled–> contraindicated in glaucoma
(inhibit the salivary and mucous glands→ decrease saliva production during surgery)
Atropine indications
-before: used for diagnostic exam. of the eye, but
too long duration of effect–> tropicamid, homatropine etc.
-treatment of bradycardia
(1% eye drop)
Tetracaine effect
- Local anesthetic effect on mucous mem. and the eye
- (Lipophilic, can penetrate inside cornea –> cause anesthesia)
- (Oxybuprocain is a better alternative today - act immediately)
Tetracaine indications
-Eye surgery, corneal surgery
-Examinations of the 3rd eyelid
-Removal of foreign bodies
-Etc.
(1% eye drop)
Procaine effect
Local anesthetics only on mucous membrane, cornea, wounds
1% eye drop
How to determine tissue irritation
In three levels:
- in vitro - preliminary studies
- in vivo - rodents - preliminary study
- target animal studies (injection into the target animal (eg. if it´s used on dogs then tested on dogs))
Drugs that cause tissue irritation
- VERY!: Tetracyclines (esp. long acting), Macrolids and Lincosamides
- Also Aminoglycosides and Sulphonamides
Enzyme elevated when applying tissue irritating drugs
Ck (Creatin-k) and LDH
Which drugs are never injected in small animals?
Macrolids and Lincosamides (give IV or orally)
Where to inject if we examine tissue irritation?
Large muscle (limb, dorsal muscles)
In vivo tissue irritation exam.
- Which animals are used?
- Steps?
- Advantages and disadvantages?
-Rodents: rabbits
• Biochemistry examinaton of AST, CPK, LDH enzyme activity of blood
• Euthanasia of treated animals after 24 hours, 2, 5, 14 days
• Macroscopic and histological examination of the affected part of muscles
• Advantages: Reliable results
• Disadvantages
– Expensive
– Time consuming
– Animal protection issues
Demanded quality requirements of injections
- Isotonic
- Isoionic
- Sterile
- Non-pyrogenic
- Non-toxic
- Non-irritating
In vitro
- Which animals are used?
- Requirements?
- Which phase is it used for?
- Advantages and disadvantages?
• Do not require living animals
• Required materials:
– Fresh cattle or swine blood, coagulation inhibited by heparin
– 0.9% NaCl solution
– 10% oxytetracyclin-HCl solution as positive control for tissue irritation (freshly made)
– Test products (Engemycin, Tetravet)
– Distilled water (positive control)
–> compare the hemolysing (→tissue-irritating) ability of the drugs!
• Used in preclinical phase
• Advantages: Fast, cheap
• Disadvantages: only preliminary orientating data. Can not completely replace the in vivo examination methods!
How to disinfect a drilled well (substance + amount) and in which case would it be obligatory?
- 100 g calcium-hypochlorite or 300 cm3 bleach should be solved in 1 litre of water and poured into the well
- After mixing, leave for 24hours rest and smell. If chloride is smellable it’s good. If there is no chloride smell we should repeat it until we reach the chloride smell.
- Then the water from the well should be discarded, till the smell of the chlorine cannot be smelled.
- Disinfection is obligatory immediately after a well is worked on. Also in the case of a known contamination such as disease causing microorganisms (pathogens). That may have been introduced into the well during construction, hookup, maintenance, or as a result of faulty well construction.
- Disinfection is also recommended for well systems that experience problems with iron bacteria or sulphate-reducing bacteria.
Name the disinfectants for udder wash and hand wash
Udder disinfectants: -Chlorhexidine digluconate + lactic acid -Free iodine -Bradophen solution -Benzalkonium chloride Surgical hand disinfection -Iodophores -Alcohols -Chlorhexidine -Cationic detergents
Name the antiseptic used for udder disinfection and when/how is it applied during milking?
- Antiseptics used: Chlorhexidine digluconate + lactic acid, Free iodine, Bradophen solution, Benzalkonium chloride
- Before milking:
1. Washing with warm water
2. Disinfection with diluted iodophor - After milking: 3-fold dilution of concentrated iodophor-, chlorhexidine or Bradophen solution (form thin film layer on the skin)
- Disinfection is applied to every teat by a teat cup. The udder after disinfection is wiped with a disposable wipes before milking. But after milking the udder is not wiped for the formation of the thin film layer. The same substances are used in udder disinfection but before milking the concentration is 2-3%. After milking the concentration is 20-40%.
Disinfection of dug well of 5m3?
1100cm3 bleach/1m3 water (in the well), solved 0.3l water, poured into the well. So 500cm3 bleach should be applied.
