The aim of this study was to determine the effect of various types of flour on the physico-chemical and organoleptic characteristics of salami as a filler. The study was conducted using a completely randomized design with 5 treatments P1 (corn flour), P2 (sorghum flour), P3 (sago flour), P4 (wheat flour) and P5 (tapioca flour) each treatment was repeated 4 times. Variables measured included physical properties (Water Holding Capacity, Cooking Loss, and Tenderness) chemical properties (proximate) as well as organoleptic tests. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and continued with the Honest Significant Difference Test. Based on the research results obtained physical quality such as the highest cooking shrinkage of corn flour 19.62; The highest water binding capacity of sago flour is 42.03; the highest tenderness of sago flour 52; chemical quality such as the highest water content using sago flour (47.11%), the highest protein in wheat flour 20.65%, the highest fat in tapioca flour 20.46%, the highest carbohydrate in corn flour 19.58%; The organoleptic score for color was 2.66 (liked) using sago flour, aroma 2.77 (like) corn flour, texture 2.90 (neutral) using sago flour and taste 2.30 (like) using wheat flour.

According to specialty literature, the incidence of chronic kidney disease in felines had substantially risen in the recent years. This research is intended to show a correlation between the increasing age of felines (over 10 years) and the variations of some biochemical parameters (urea, creatinine, phosphorus and also symmetric dimethylarginine) in the progression of the chronic kidney disease. The research was performed over a period of two years at the University Emergency Hospital “Prof. univ. dr. Alin Bîrțoiu”, Bucharest, on a total of 20 cases of felines suspected of chronic kidney disease, 10 of them older than 10 years were considered suitable for this study. One feline, an 11-year-old patient in uremic coma (n = 1) had the highest serum phosphorus, urea, creatinine and symmetric dimethylarginine levels. The other nine patients (n = 9) between 11 and 15 age had urea levels higher than 79.2 mg/dl, creatinine levels above 2 mg/dl and serum phosphorus levels higher than 7.35 mg/dl.

High-rise syndrome is a general definition of multiple traumatic injuries that cats experience after falling from a height of 2 or more floors of high-rise buildings in urban areas. This falling generally results with multiple injuries including thoracic, abdominal, orthopedic and craniomandibular or craniomaxillofacial trauma. The combination of multiple traumatic injuries can be life threatening.50 cats diagnosed with high-rise syndrome between period December 2021- December 2022 in Veterinary Emergency Hospital "Prof. univ. dr. Alin Bîrţoiu", University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. Thoracic trauma was diagnosed in 82% of cats. Pneumothorax was diagnosed in 54% of cats and pulmonary contusions diagnosed in 50% of cats. Some cats diagnosed both pneumothorax and pulmonary contusion. Past 30 years, some authors pointed and rated the injuries they diagnosed in their articles and case reports. The aim of this study is to point increased thoracic trauma after high-rise syndrome related with hitting more hard grounds than past years in urban areas.

Melting corneal ulcers in dogs develop secondary to the imbalance between proteinases and proteinase inhibitors in the healing process of corneal wounds. Common complications of melting corneal ulcers in dogs are descemetocele, staphyloma and uveitis, which can lead loss of vision. Medical records of 342 dogs diagnosed with melting corneal ulcers from May 2013 to November 2022 treated surgically using VetShield® and SoftShield® collagen bandage lenses and third eyelid flap. Dogs included in the study had a clinical diagnosis of melting corneal ulcer without evidence of retinal detachment or lens luxation confirmed by ocular ultrasonography. 204/342 cases (59.65%) of treated dogs regained their vision and corneal transparency; 113/342 cases (33.04%) had corneal fibrosis and pigmentation with improved vision; 17/342 cases (4.97%) had lost vision due to corneal scarring and 8/342 (2.34%) underwent intrascleral prosthesis due to secondary glaucoma as a complication. Placement of bandage collagen lenses and third eyelid flap in melting corneal ulcers in dogs is an easy, straightforward surgical procedure which can be performed by any veterinarian practitioner with good results.
