Hemivertebra is a kind of changed vertebra in the spine characterized by uneven vertebral body formation, which can cause curvature of the spine. It is an inherited congenital defect found in both humans and animals. This defect occurs predominantly in brachycephalic breeds, such as French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boston Terriers. The aim of the study was to analyze the prevalence and the degree of development of this pathology in a selected population of French Bulldogs (n = 58), English Bulldogs (n = 9), and Pugs (n = 14). The occurrence of hemivertebrae was evaluated on X-rays performed in lateral and ventral-dorsal projections. Depending on the dog’s size, the voltage ranged between 76 and 54 kV, and the current ranged between 16 and 20 mAs. Hemivertebrae were found in 73% of dogs. The largest number of them were found in French Bulldogs and the fewest in Pugs. In 14% of dogs with confirmed malformation, neurological symptoms occurred. This study indicates that hemivertebrae is a developmental disorder most common in French Bulldogs, and the least frequent in Pugs. However, Pugs, more often than other breeds evaluated here, were diagnosed with hemivertebrae causing neurological disorders. In the thoracic segment of the spine, a hemivertebra usually affects Th5, Th6, Th7, Th9, and Th10. Due to the large prevalence of wedge-shaped vertebrae in brachycephalic breeds, radiographic examination for the presence of this defect is recommended in breeding dogs. Further uncontrolled proliferation of this defect may permanently damage the gene pool of these breeds.

The bone mineral density (BMD) and the bone mineral content (BMC) in the bone tissue of the bilateral first phalanges of horses’ thoracic limbs were analysed. The research material consisted of isolated pastern bones derived from 22 horses. The research was conducted with the use of a Norland model Excell Plus densitometer (Fort Atkinson WI, USA), using affinited beam X-ray technology and an animal research programme (Research Scan, 3.9.6. version) at the following parameters: scanning resolution of 1.5 x 1.5 mm, scanning speed 60 mm/s. The differences between BMC and BMD values in bilateral first phalanges in the thoracic limbs in horses were found to be nonsignificant. It also appeared that there are statistically significant positive correlations between values of the left and right bone of both analysed variables.

Research studies on the development of the cardiovascular system and its formation during embryologic development have been conducted for a long time. However, such studies have only gained a significant interest less than two decades ago. This can be related to the introduction of immunohistochemical methods, in which endothelium cell markers and their precursors as well as smooth muscle cell markers have been applied, lining the interior surface of a blood vessel wall of a larger diameter. In the process of coronary blood vessel formation two main mechanisms are involved: vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. The formation of vessels occurs in several stages. First a monolayer of endothelial cells begins sprouting to form tubes. These are then transformed into capillaries, veins and arteries.

Methods for the evaluation of the parameters of bone tissue and their characteristics are presented. The development of modern methods and their possible application in veterinary orthopedic diagnosis is discussed. Primarily computerized assisted analysis of bone structure images on the radiograph are described.

Current methods used for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary diseases require detailed knowledge of the morphology of cardiac vessels, including the clinical aspects of the subepicardial cardiac veins. The study was conducted on 50 corpses of adult domestic shorthair cats of both sexes (24 ♂, 26 ♀), having an average body weight of 4.15 kg and aged from 2 to 10 years. A clear view of subepicardial cardiac veins was obtained by filling them with dyed synthetic latex (LBS 3060). The next stage of the study consisted in a detailed preparation of the main trunks with the use of a Global surgical microscope. It was found that the veins that drained the heart were the great cardiac vein, the middle cardiac vein, and the right cardiac veins. The course, main branches, and termination of the cardiac veins were determined. In view of the clinical importance of these cardiac vessels and their branches, universal nomenclature was suggested.

The aim of the study was to investigate the morphology and morphometry of ramifications of the aortic arch in domestic shorthair cats in relation to the sex of the animals. The morphological study was performed on 61 hearts of adult domestic shorthair cats of both sexes, preserved in the 10% solution of formalin. Measurements of the area of openings of basic branches and distances between them were performed. In cats we can observe a double type of direct ramification of the aortic arch: the brachiocephalic trunk and the left subclavian artery. In all studied cases, the surface area of the ostium of the brachiocephalic trunk (SABT) was greater 4.94 ± 1.35 mm² than the surface area of the ostium of the left subclavian artery (SALSA) 2.38 ± 0.88 mm². The average difference between the opening area of the above vessels (r) amounted to 2.56 mm². In the studied group of cats, the distance between the openings (d) varied between 0.5 and 4.37 mm. In the post hoc comparison of the mean values no statistically significant differences were found between the population of males and females. Fundamental changes in the structure of openings were found in two females. The first one concerned a secondary division of the brachiocephalic trunk opening and the second one – a secondary division of the opening of the left subclavian artery in the area of their parting from the aortic arch. CT angiography or MRI angiography is the method of choice for diagnosis of vascular disorders or malformations. The knowledge of the aortic arch morphology in various species of animals is a prerequisite for a correct assessment of the results of imaging tests.
