The article discusses a case study of a seven-year-old female spayed white Schnauzer presented with cutaneous ulcerated nodular lesions and diagnosed with an immune-mediated hemolytic disease (IMHA). The animal underwent ultrasound imaging, biopsy of a skin lesion, and was given a treatment with antibiotic clindamycin. It also offers information on cuitaneous toxoplasmosis caused by coccidian protozoan Toxoplasma gondii.

The article discusses a research study on comparing markers of cell proliferation in transplanted canine transmissible venereal tumor (TVT). Twelve tumor specimens were examined through the argyrophilic nucleolar organizing regions (AgNOR) technique or staining with Schorr or immunolabelling for Ki-67 antigen (MIB1). Results showed confinement of MIB1 labeling in the nucleus while the AgNOR index on proliferation had positive correlation to the mitotic index and MIB1 immunolabeling.

The article describes the case of a one-and-a-half year-old Pug presenting clinical signs of gastro intestinal episodes including constipation, vomiting, diarrhea and distended abdomen. Conducted was an exploratory laparotomy and biopsy of intestines revealing grossly thin intestinal wall with hyperemic areas showing loss of leiomyocytes and degenerative changes characterized by hyalinization and vacuolation. The article discusses chronic intestinal idiopathic pseudo-obstruction (CIIP) in dogs.

The article presents a study of apoptosis in canine transmissible venereal tumors (TVT). TVT was described as a contagious neoplasm of round cells affecting the outer genitalia of adult dogs. The study found that TVT regresses in healthy older animals and the regression is associated with lymphocytes and plasma cells infiltration. Apoptosis controlled cell deletion and performed an opposite role to mitosis which controls production of animal cells. The study aimed to characterize apoptosis aspects like morphological and biochemical.
