A number of studies examining the interaction of children with animals have shown the benefits of animals on the physical, mental, emotional and social development of children. Especially thanks to pets, children can learn a great many things like love of nature and animals, in addition to developing a sense of responsibility and loyalty and building good relationships. This study aimed to put forward the concept of “pets” as perceived by children aged between four and eight. The study group used in this research consisted of kindergarten and 1st - 2nd grade primary school children (n = 94) from Bursa Province (Turkey) over the 2014-2015 school year. Semi-structured interview questions and the children’s drawings of “pet themed” pictures were employed as data collection tools. A document review of the collected data was conducted and analyzed using content analysis techniques. According to the results obtained, while a large number of the children knew the concept of “pets”, they had different ideas about the characteristics of pets, as was revealed in their drawings. Moreover, regarding the perception of pets, there appeared to be a difference between children who had pets and those who did not.Keywords: early childhood, child, pets, perception.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to produce knowledge about the impact of pets on preschool children's desire to learn and their development. The research question asked is: What do children learn from and with pets: The example of dog and cat? Socio-cultural theories and developmental pedagogy are used in order to study children’s learning in the preschool. The socio-cultural theories are based on a model describing interactions between people presented by Vygotskij (1978) and further developed by Säljö (2011). This study employed a qualitative exploratory research method with the aim of gaining knowledge concerning a group of 24 children, aged 4-5 years. Individual interviews were used as the method of data collection. The results are presented as two main categories: 1) The pet supports the child in their learning and development process 2) The child is the teacher of the pet. Each main category comprised two subcategories: 1a) Developing empathy and emotions, 1b) Being good at school-related tasks, 2a) Teaching the pet playful exercises, 2b) Teaching the pet to obey. The results show that pets provide children with positive experiences and a sense of feeling good. The children said that they could talk to all the animals and that the animals are listening. When a child is doing activities with an animal or tries to teach an animal some exercises, the child receives a response from the animal. This leads on to new experiences and an increased knowledge regarding social behavior. Using pets for educational purposes in the home, preschool and school, might stimulate an interest in animal care and a commitment to the world´s wildlife and fauna in general. Key words: animal, children, development, preschool learning.

Full textAbstract:
In 2019, a study was conducted of exotic animals kept in mini zoos and domestic conditions (chinchillas, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, primates, reptiles, hedgehogs, squirrels) located in the city for the presence of intestinal parasitic diseases. The study showed that 2 types of intestinal protozoa were found in ferrets: Criptosporidium sp. (4%) and Isospora sp. (8%). In rabbits, one species of helminths P. amdiguus with invasion extensity (IE) 4.1% and protozoa Eimeria sp. (10.4%) was detected. The chinchillas revealed the simplest genus Giardia sp. (46.6%). In guinea pigs Entamoeba sp. (1.6%), Criptosporidium sp. (3.3%) and Giardia sp. (5%) was identified. In sguirrels, helminth eggs of Oxyurida sp. (IE 14%) and protozoa of the genus Eimeria sp. (50%) were found. In hedgehogs – two species of helminths of Capillaria sp. (20%) and Oxyurida sp. (10%). 80% of tamarins were infected with scratches; larvae of S. stercoralis nematodes were detected in saimiri (33.3%). One species of helminths of the genus Oxyurida sp. (76.2%) and 5 species of protozoa: Criptosporidium sp. (5%), Entamoeba sp. (6.25%), Trichomonas sp. (10%), Isospora sp. (6.25%) and Nyctotherus sp. (6.25%) was identified in reptiles. Pets revealed parasites, the probability of transmission of which to humans is not excluded.

Full textAbstract:
A case control study comprising 282 cases and 319 matched controls was conducted in Denmark during 1996–7. Two estimates of the odds ratio (OR) were determined for each risk factor with and without ‘protective factors’ fitted into the final model. Consumption of undercooked poultry (OR 4·5; 8·2), consumption of red meat at a barbecue (OR 2·3; 4·1), consumption of grapes (OR 1·6; 2·8) and drinking unpasteurized milk (OR 2·3; 11·8) were identified as risk factors in both models. Frequent consumption of pork chops (OR 4·4) and daily contact with domestic animals and pets were identified as risk factors in one of the two models only. Finally, foreign travel was found to be a significant risk factor (OR 2·5). Seasonal and regional interaction was observed for several risk factors and the time elapsed from interviewing of cases to interviewing of controls seemed to influence the effect of certain seasonal dependent risk factors.

e20607 Background: Animal-assisted visits (AAV) are known to affect blood pressure, mood and anxiety, yet their effects in cancer remained unexamined. Methods: 42 subjects signed IRB-approved informed consent to have AAVs daily during multi-modal chemotherapy and radiation therapy for head & neck cancer. 37 subjects completed at least baseline assessment visits for an intent to treat analysis. Assessments included FACT-Head and Neck scale; Satisfaction with AAV Intervention (SAAVI) assessing bi-weekly motivation to attend appointments, tolerance of waits, ability to withstand treatment, lingering effect of AAV after treatment and perception of social support. Subject characteristics: 25 (68%) male, mean age 57 years (57.22 ±8.44); (57%) white, 8 (22%) Hispanic, 6 (16%) black and 2 (5%) Asian. Cancer sites: oropharynx 23 (62%), hypopharynx 4 (11%), esophagus 3 (8%), laryngopharynx 2 (5%) and nasal cavity 2 (5%). Stage: stage II: 1 (3%), III: 6 (16%), IV: 30 (81%). All subjects received concomitant external beam radiation therapy with periodic cis-platin (23 pts, 57%), weekly carboplatin (7 pts; 16%) or cetuximab (5; 11%). Results: Comparing baseline, week 3 and week 7 assessments, FACT Physical Well-being (PWB; p<0.001) and Functional Well-Being (FWB; (p=0.003) showed significant declines; in contrast, Social Well-Being (SWB; p = 0.03) showed significant gains. Controlling for declines in PWB, increases in EWB were also significant (p = 0.004). Satisfaction was measured after the first and last AAV. Mean scores for satisfaction related to psychological symptoms, generally liking animals/pets, and positive attitudes towards pets at both times were significantly better than “Neutral” or “Unsure” (all p < 0.001), and did not change from first to last AAV. Mean scores for physical symptoms were not significantly different from “Neutral.” Conclusions: FACT analysis showed significant increase in EWB in the face of clinically evident and expected declines in PWB and FWB in spite of high symptom burden. The SAAVI assessment further supports the utility of the AAV intervention. Though self-selected for an affinity to pets and animals, subjects endorsed a high level of satisfaction with the intervention.

Tertiary care for critically ill children requires a safe, efficient transport modality designed for the pediatric patient. This system should be capable of delivering mobile intensive care en route after resuscitation and stabilization at the sending hospital.In July 1979, a Pediatric Emergency Transport Service (PETS) was organized at The Children's Hospital, Denver, to provide physicians of the Rocky Mountain-Plains Region with the capability of triaging pediatric nonneonatal patients to three Denver Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU's). The components of the system included: (1) a transport team comprising of a medical attending-director, twelve transport physicians including nine pediatricians, two anesthesiologists and one surgeon, six pediatric transport nurses, six pediatric transport respiratory therapists, and four emergency medical technicians; (2) a communication dispatch system; (3) an answering service with Wide Area Telecommunications Service capability; (4) an equipment depot within the PICU at The Children's Hospital; (5) a complete dispatch log; (6) a continuing education and information system for the team, providers, consumers and health planners; (7) a cost and administrative center with established billing procedures and support services; (8| management, drug and equipment protocols, and (9) specifically designed air and ground ambulances which are owned and/or leased by The Children's Hospital.

Full textAbstract:
This article describes studies of the veterinary anthelmintic preparation Moxistop (tablet) for dogs and cats. The preparation Moxistop (tablet) has a wide range of action, thanks to its unique formula moxidectin + praziquantel fights 13 types of parasites, including microfilariae (Dirofilaria repens, Dirofilaria immitis), it is used for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes in nematodes and cestodes. Analysis of the dynamics of clinical indicators of the blood of cats showed that the animals of the first and second groups, all indicators were normal. Eosinophils before deworming in animals of the first group were increased and amounted to (8.2 ± 0.93) % (normal (2–6) %), and after deworming to the 14th day decreased to (4.7 ± 0.51) %; in cats of the second group decreased from (9.7 ± 1.14) % to (5.5 ± 0.49) %. According to the study, it was found that in the studied dogs of one group after the use of the preparation “Moxistop” tablet blood hemoglobin tended to increase relative to normal, namely by 28%, and in group V within normal limits. The content of erythrocytes, leukocytes, eosinophils, lymphocytes and ESR – within normal limits. It should be noted that before deworming in animals of the fourth group, blood parameters, namely eosinophils, were at the upper limit of normal and were (7.9 ± 2.63) % (normal (2–8) %), and after deworming to 14 on the th day decreased to (5.4 ± 1.44) %; in dogs of the fifth group decreased from (7.1 ± 1) % to (4 ± 1) %, in animals of the control group was more than 7 %, which is the upper limit of normal. According to the results of the tests, it was found high efficiency of the preparation “Moxistop” (“Moxistop mini”, “Moxistop copper”, “Moxistop maxi”) in the infestation of Dipylidium caninum, Toxascaris leonina and Dirofilaria immitis in dogs and cats of different ages.

Full textAbstract:
Background. The purpose of this study was to identify IgE-antibodies to the major and minor allergenic components of pets in the blood serum of patients with bronchial asthma and/or allergic rhinitis (BA/AR). Methods. The study included 327 patients from Moscow and St. Petersburg. All of them were detected for specific IgE-antibodies (IgE-AB) to the animal allergens by ImmunoCAP® (ThermoFisherScientific, Sweden). 105 patients wanted to detect IgE-AB to the main animal allergens molecules ImmunoCAP ISAC® (ThermoFisherScientific, Sweden). Results. In the sera of 327 patients IgE-AB to cat’s (62%) allergen dominated. IgE-antibodies to dog’s, house dust mites (D.pteronyssinus, D. farinae), mold fungi, horses and rodents allergens were found in 2,6-31 times less. IgE-AB to uteroglobin (rFel d 1), major cat allergen, was detected in 80% of patients (84/105). The detection rate of IgE-AB to other cat allergens was 4,2-8 times lower (rFel d 2 - 10%, nFel d 4 - 19%). IgE-AB to major dog allergen rCan f 1 was detected in 39% of patients (41/105). Positive level of IgE-AB to other dog allergens was detected in 2,2-4,9 times lower (rCan f 2 - 8%, nCan f 3 - 9%, rCan f 5 - 18%). Positive level of IgE-AB to lipocalin was assayed in 6% of patients, to serum albumin - in 7%. Conclusion. Prevalence of IgE-AB to cat and dog allergens was almost 3 times higher than the frequency of detection of IgE-AB to house dust mite allergens in citizens of Moscow and S. Petersburg. The frequency of IgE-AB to rFel d 1 was dominated and detected 2 and 4-11 times often than to rCan f 1 and other animal allergens consequently.

Full textAbstract:
African grey parrots (Psittacus erithacus) are very popular pets, commonly seen in avian clinical practice. Haematological profiles are critical to the understanding of several disease processes, being particularly useful as diagnostic tools in clinical practice, since birds tend to hide clinical signs of disease. We have previously proposed new haematological reference intervals (RI) for captive African grey parrots, and in the present work the basic data obtained was studied in detail to investigate the influence of factors, such as age and sex, on the haematological profile of this bird species. During an 8-year period (March 2009 to July 2017), animals (n = 239) examined in first consultations or check-ups at the Zoològic Veterinaris (Barcelona) were submitted to blood collection at different time points, rendering a total of 459 blood samples. The haematological testing was performed according to the guidelines of the American Society of Veterinary Clinical Pathology to determine the packed cell volume (PCV), haemoglobin (Hb), mean haemoglobin concentration (MHC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), total erythrocyte count (TRBC), total leukocyte count (TWBC), and differential leukogram with absolute and relative counts. All the haematological testing was performed in an in-house laboratory as previously described. Animals with 0 to 4 years of age showed higher values of PCV (P &lt; 0.001), Hb (P = 0.023) and RBC (P = 0.018), and lower values of MCHC (P = 0.008), WBC (P = 0.012) and heterophils (P &lt; 0.001) than older animals. There were significant differences exhibited in the monocytes (P = 0.035) between different age groups. Females presented higher PCV, Hb and RBC values (P &lt; 0.001) compared to males. Our results suggest that the age and sex influence the haematological parameters in a significant manner in African grey parrots and should be accounted for when assessing the health status of individuals from this species.

Full textAbstract:
The urgency of the problem of toxocarosis in the territory of the Kursk region is caused by the increase in the incidence among the children's population, the contamination of environmental objects with toksokar eggs. In this regard, it is necessary to conduct large-scale studies on the helminth infections of carnivorous animals living in urban areas to establish a realistic picture of their infection with toxocarosis and assess the sanitary and helminthological state of sand in children's play houses near Kursk, and determine the risk of infection of children with geohelminthiasis.One of the leading places in the structure of infectious and parasitic morbidity in the Kursk region is still occupied by parasitic diseases. According to the state report “On the sanitary and epidemiological well-being in the Kursk region in 2017”, 1125 cases of parasitic diseases are registered in the region. In the structure of parasitosis 97.4% are made up of helminthiasis. Contact helminthiasis had the largest share, represented by enterobiasis – 93%, geohelminthiasis was 4%, biohelminthoses – 1%. Among geohelminthic infections in 2017, two nosological forms were registered – ascariasis and toxocarosis, compared with 2016, the incidence of the latter increased by 10.4%. A total of 23 cases of toxocariasis were registered in the region, it is noteworthy that the proportion of children among the infested persons was 82.6% [3]. True incidence can be much higher, since in most cases infection with toxcar for a long time is asymptomatic and is detected by chance during laboratory examination [4].Toxocarosis is a parasitic disease caused by the migration of helminth larvae of dogs – Toxocara canis in humans, less often – Toxocara mystax of cats and characterized by a complex of syndromes and symptoms, referred to as visceral larva migrans. Such factors as an increase in the number of dogs and cats in populated areas, their high prevalence of toxocars, the intensity of egg excretion by mature helminths that live in the intestines of animals, and the stability of eggs in the environment exert on the spread of toxocariasis among people. In modern conditions, toxocarosis becomes the most socially significant helminth infection with a high risk of infection in cities [1].

Full textAbstract:
Pesticides, along with hybrid seeds and fertilizers, are an integral part of the green revolution and are used to control and eradicate disease vectors for the improvement of agricultural production. Pesticides is an umbrella term for insecticides, nematocides, fungicides, herbicides, fumigants, repellents, and attractants. Pesticides are used against unwanted plants and animals to control diseases and losses. Efforts at different levels may help to reduce the impact of pesticides on newborn babies and on pregnant women. Different efforts can be considered at clinical, educational, and policymaking institutes. Use of risk assessment tools, encouragement of organic diets, educating parents working in agricultural fields from hazards of pesticides particularly in pregnancy and breast feeding, implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) programs, and encouraging policies supporting IPM can help in tackling the menace of pesticide hazards.
