Abstract:

 

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible diagnostic alternatives and to define prevalance of prostate disorders in geriatric dogs, and therefore, to shed light to new researches. 20 male intact healthy and 20 male geriatric dogs were included into the study. Their body weights were 13.5 to 42.7 kg (mean 21.21) and 15 to 48.8 kg (mean 23.46) respectively. The age were ranged from 2.5 to 5 years (mean 3.47) for healthy dogs and 7 to 12 years (mean 8.1) for geriatric dogs. Eleven of the 20 geriatric dogs had prostate pathology determined by minimal or noninvasive diagnostic techniques. The prevalence of prostate pathology was calculated as 55-65% in geriatric dogs. In conclusion, various prostate diseases in intact male geriatric dogs with various ages were defined using minimal or non-invazive diagnostic techniques.

 

Bu çalışmada geriatrik köpeklerde prostat hastalıklarının prevalansını belirlemek, muhtemel diagnostik alternatifleri araştırmak ve böylece yeni araştırmalara ışık tutmak amaçlandı. Yirmi adet sağlıklı (kontrol grup) ve 20 adette geriatrik kısırlaştırılmamış köpek (geriatrik grup) çalışmaya dahil edildi. Köpeklerin vücut ağırlığı sağlıklı köpekler için 13,5 ile 42,7 kg (ortalama 21,21) olup, bu değer geriatrik köpekler için 15 ile 48,8 kg (ortalama 23,46) olarak belirlendi. Sağlıklı köpeklerin yaşı 2,5 ile 5 yıl (ortalama 3,47) arasında değişirken bu değer geriatrik köpeklerde 7 ile 12 yıl (ortalama 8,1) yıl olarak değişti. Köpeklerin, 11 adedinde minimal ve invaziv olmayan diagnostik tekniklerle belirlenen değişik prostat patolojileri saptandı. Geriatrik köpeklerde prostat hastalıklarının prevelansı %55-65 arasında belirlendi. Sonuçta, geriatrik köpeklerde çeşitli prostat hastalıklarının teşhisi minimal ve noninvazif tanımlanmıştır. diagnostik metotlar kullanılarak.
