Research ArticleOpen accessA Comparative Study of the Ovine Haemogram: Cell-Dyn 3500 Versus Manual MethodsLabrini V. Athanasiou, Constantinos G. Giannakopoulos, Zoe S. Polizopoulou et al.Manual hematology techniques traditionally applied in farm animal medicine are time consuming and labor-intensive, especially when large numbers of samples have to be processed. As a result, several automated hematology instruments have been developed for use in these species. An automated hematology analyzer (Abbott Cell-Dyne 3500 system) was used in performing a complete blood cell count and differential counts of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 23 Oct 2013 · 7,183 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessMeasurement of Fibrinogen Concentration in the Plasma of Dogs: A Comparison Between Heat Precipitation and Modified Thrombin Clotting Time MethodLabrini V. Athanasiou, Theodoros A. Petanides, Manolis K. Chatzis, Manolis N. SaridomichelakisFibrinogen is a glycoprotein that plays a key role in blood clotting and is also a non-specific indicator of inflammation. The most widely used techniques for measuring plasma fibrinogen concentration include heat precipitation (Millar’s technique) and modified thrombin clotting time (Clauss method). Both techniques have been automated in a haematology analyzer (QBC-Vet Autoreader®, IDEXX; Millar’s technique) and in a newly … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 18 May 2013 · 7,453 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEffect of Leptospirosis on the Concentrations of Streptomycin in Liver and Kidneys of PigsLabrini V. Athanasiou, Vassilios Papatsiros, George Valiakos et al.Leptospirosis is a re-emerging infectious disease with zoonotic potential. Pigs are reservoir hosts of the pathogen and streptomycin is among the antibiotics proposed to eliminate leptospiral infection. The purpose of this study was to determine streptomycin concentrations and the possible effect of the presence of Leptospira in the liver and kidneys on drug distribution. Six pigs with leptospirosis and six … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2013 · 7,488 accessesView PDF Cite
