ABSTRACT

The present study aimed to analyse the wave morphology, amplitude, latency, and intervals of the brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAERs) in dogs with central vestibular syndrome (CVS) recorded with surface electrodes. Ten dogs with CVS were examined by mono- and binaural stimulation, using the Neuropack electrodiagnostic system, with stimulus intensities of 90 dBSPL. BAERs examinations revealed morphological changes of waves I, II, III, and V and decreased amplitudes of all waves in 7/10 dogs. P values obtained were = 0.014 for wave I amplitude, 0.031 for II, and III and 0.032 for V. Comparing the latencies of waves I, II, III, and V generated by right and left monoaural stimulation in dogs with CVS, we did not observe significant differences (P > 0.05). No statistical differences were observed for BAERs latencies of the waves recorded after binaural and monaural stimulation (left or right). As far as we know, this is the first study of BAERs using surface electrodes, obtained from dogs with CVS.(AU)


Este estudo destina-se à análise da morfologia, da amplitude, da latência e do intervalo das ondas das respostas evocadas auditivas no tronco cerebral (BAERs) em cães com síndrome vestibular central (CVS) registrados com eletrodos de superfície. Dez cães com CVS foram examinados por estimulação mono e binaural usando um sistema de eletrodiagnóstico Neuropack, com intensidade do estímulo de 90 dBSPL. Os exames BAERs relevaram alterações morfológicas das ondas I, II, III e V, bem como baixas amplitudes para todas as ondas no caso dos 7/10 cães. Os valores de P obtidos foram = 0.014 para ampitude da onda I, 0.031 para a II e 0.032 para a V. Compararam-se as latências das ondas I, II, III e V geradas pelo estímulo monoaural direito e esquerdo em cães com CVS e não foram constatadas diferenças significativas (P > 0.05). Igualmente não foram observadas diferenças estatísticas no caso das latências BAERs no que diz respeito às ondas gravadas depois de estímulos binaural e monoaural (esquerdo ou direito). Pelo que é de conhecimento dos autores da presente pesquisa, este é o primeiro estudo sobre BAERs usando eletrodos de superfície obtidos em cães com CVS.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Evocado auditivo de respostas ­ BAER ) foi gravado utilizando eletrodos de superfície em sete cães Mastiff argentino saudáveis para estimulações monoaural e binaural em intensidades sonoras de 90 dB NPS . As latências e amplitudes das ondas I, III e V bem como os intervalos InterWave I- III , III -V e IV foram calculados. As diferenças estatísticas foram obtidas para as ondas III e latências V, amplitudes das ondas III e intervalos I- III e I-V entre mono e estimulação binaural. Por serem uma das raças geneticamente predispostas à surdez congênita, obtendo valores de referência BAER, os cães Mastiff argentino têm uma importância clínica especial.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Electroretinography (ERG) is a well-established diagnostic procedure for objectively evaluating retinal function. In this study, ERG in beagle dogs, which are a popular experimental animal, was performed to determine the normal range of ERG variables and assess differences between the left and right eyes. ERG findings including rod, combined rod-cone, single-flash cone, and 30-Hz flicker responses were recorded with an LED-electrode in 43 sedated beagle dogs. The subjects were divided into young ( or = 6 years old). Normal ERG ranges were obtained. Significant differences in b-wave amplitude along with b/a ratio of the combined rod-cone response were found between the young and adult animals as well as young and senile dogs. No significant differences were observed between the left and right eyes. ERG variables in beagle dogs differed by age due to age-related retinal changes. Thus, we propose that normal ERG ranges should be determined according to age in each clinic and laboratory using its own equipment because each institution usually has different systems or protocols for ERG testing.
