ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Data on the digitization in Swiss veterinary practices and clinics were collected in a survey from June 2017 to the end of December 2017. Data of 171 practices contributed to the survey. Animal records were filed in 96.5% with a practice management program. Nine out of ten practices operate an x-ray machine whereof 70% digitally record the radiographs. While a moderate diversity of practice management systems is used, numerous different radiographic recording, archiving and viewing systems are utilized. Data exchange with other practices and owners preferably takes place via e-mail, followed by upload servers and digital data carriers. Data protection receives less attention in veterinary medicine than in comparison to human medicine. A protected data exchange platform coupled with AMICUS and ANIS is under construction via standardized DICOM (https://www.dicomstandard.org/current/) and HL7 (https://www.hl7.org/) interfaces.


INTRODUCTION: De juin 2017 à fin décembre 2017, des données relative à la digitalisation ont été collectées dans le cadre d'une enquête auprès de cabinets et cliniques vétérinaires suisses. Au total, 171 pratiques ont participé à l'enquête. 96,5% conservent les antécédents du patient avec un programme de gestion. Neuf cabinets sur dix utilisent un appareil à rayons X, dont 70% enregistrent numériquement les images. Bien que la variété des systèmes de gestion soit modérée, elle est riche en ce qui concerne l'enregistrement, l'archivage et la visualisation des images. L'échange de données avec d'autres pratiques et propriétaires se fait de préférence par courrier électronique, suivi de serveurs de téléchargement et de supports de données numériques. En comparaison avec la médecine humaine, la protection des données a beaucoup moins d'importance en médecine vétérinaire. Afin de pouvoir effectuer l'échange de données numériques de manière pratique, une plate-forme d'échange de données sécurisée couplée à AMICUS et à ANIS via DICOM normalisé (https://www.dicomstandard.org/current/) et HL7 (https://www.hl7.org/) est en construction.

ABSTRACT

Trypanosoma congolense is a protozoan parasite that is transmitted by tsetse flies, causing African Animal Trypanosomiasis, also known as Nagana, in sub-Saharan Africa. Nagana is a fatal disease of livestock that causes severe economic losses. Two drugs are available, diminazene and isometamidium, yet successful treatment is jeopardized by drug resistant T. congolense. Isothermal microcalorimetry is a highly sensitive tool that can be used to study growth of the extracellular T. congolense parasites or to study parasite growth inhibition after the addition of antitrypanosomal drugs. Time of drug action and time to kill can be quantified in a simple way by real time heat flow measurements. We established a robust protocol for the microcalorimetric studies of T. congolense and developed mathematical computations in R to calculate different parameters related to growth and the kinetics of drug action. We demonstrate the feasibility and benefit of the method exemplary with the two standard drugs, diminazene aceturate and isometamidium chloride. The method and the mathematical approach can be translated to study other pathogenic or non-pathogenic cells if they are metabolically active and grow under axenic conditions.
