Prognostic factors for feline mammary tumors   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

E G MacEwen  A A Hayes  H J Harvey  A K Patnaik  S Mooney  S Passe 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》1984,185(2):201-204

The case records of 100 cats with malignant mammary tumors were reviewed. All cats were staged clinically according to the staging system of the World Health Organization. The following information was obtained from the medical records: age at time of diagnosis, breed, tumor size, date of surgery, type of surgical procedure performed, histologic type of tumor, disease-free interval, survival time, and cause of death. Factors of no prognostic value were age (less than or equal to 10 years vs greater than 10 years) and breed. Tumor size was the most significant prognostic factor (P less than 0.0001). Cats with small tumors (1 cm3 to 8 cm3) had the best prognosis. The type of surgery, conservative vs radical, was significantly (P less than 0.01) related to disease-free interval, but was of no significance in prolonging survival time.  相似文献   

Leptospirosis in selected wild mammals of the Florida panhandle and southwestern Georgia.     

E B Shotts  C L Andrews  T W Harvey 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》1975,167(7):587-589

A group of 144 wild mammals, including white-tailed deer, cottontail rabbits, fox squirrels, gray squirrels, raccoons, opossums, a bobcat, and various small rodents was examined for cultural or serologic evidence of leptospiral infection. Leptospires were isolated from 1 of 25 rabbits, 1 of 27 fox squirrels, 1 of 26 gray squirrels, 4 of 18 mice and rats, 8 of 21 raccoons, 7 of 17 opossums, and a bobcat. Isolations were not made from 6 deer examined. Serotypes isolated were Leptospira interrogans, serotype grippotyphosa and L interrogans, serotype ballum. New host-serotype relationships were noticed in the following instances: bobcat: grippotyphosa, and gray squirrel: ballum. These studies further confirm the occurrence of grippotyphosa in the fox squirrel. Serologic response in these animals did not necessarily correlate with isolations, although some relationship was noticed in raccoons and opossums.  相似文献   

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in two cats     

Harvey AM  Battersby IA  Faena M  Fews D  Darke PG  Ferasin L 《The Journal of small animal practice》2005,46(3):151-156

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a disease characterised by infiltration of the myocardium by adipose and fibrous tissue. The disease is an important cause of sudden death in humans, but has rarely been described in animals. This report describes ARVC in two cats with right-sided congestive heart failure. One cat had also experienced previous episodes of syncope. Standard six-lead and 24-hour (Holter) electrocardiogram recording revealed complete atrioventricular block and multiform ventricular ectopics in both cats, with the addition of ventricular tachycardia, ventricular bigeminy and R-on-T phenomenon in one of them. On echocardiography, the right ventricle and atrium were massively dilated and hypokinetic. The survival times of the cats were three days and 16 days following diagnosis. Histopathology in one case revealed fibro-fatty infiltration of the myocardium, predominantly affecting the right ventricular free wall.  相似文献   

Primary hyperaldosteronism in the cat: a series of 13 cases     

Ash RA  Harvey AM  Tasker S 《Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery》2005,7(3):173-182

Thirteen cases of feline primary hyperaldosteronism were diagnosed based on clinical signs, serum biochemistry, plasma aldosterone concentration, adrenal imaging and histopathology of adrenal tissue. Two cases presented with blindness caused by systemic hypertension, whilst the remaining 11 cases showed weakness resulting from hypokalaemic polymyopathy. Elevated concentrations of plasma aldosterone and adrenocortical neoplasia were documented in all cases. Seven cases had adrenal adenomas (unilateral in five and bilateral in two) and six had unilateral adrenal carcinomas. Three cases underwent medical treatment only with amlodipine, spironolactone and potassium gluconate; two cases survived for 304 and 984 days until they were euthanased because of chronic renal failure, whilst the third case was euthanased at 50 days following failure of the owner to medicate the cat. Ten cases underwent surgical adrenalectomy following a successful stabilisation period on medical management. Five cases remain alive at the time of writing with follow-up periods of between 240 and 1803 days. Three cases were euthanased during or immediately following surgery because of surgical-induced haemorrhage. One cat was euthanased 14 days after surgery because of generalised sepsis, whilst the remaining cat was euthanased 1045 days after surgery because of anorexia and the development of a cranial abdominal mass. It is recommended that primary hyperaldosteronism should be considered as a differential diagnosis in middle-aged and older cats with hypokalaemic polymyopathy and/or systemic hypertension and should no longer be considered a rare condition.  相似文献

Effect of daily injections of ACTH on growth and on the adrenal and lymphoid tissues of two strains of immature fowls.     

T F Davison  C G Scanes  I H Flack  S Harvey 《British poultry science》1979,20(6):575-585

1. The effects of daily injections of ACTH (30 IU/kg) or physiological saline on growth and on adrenal and lymphoid tissues of Rhode Island Red (RIR) and Light Sussex (LS) chickens were compared at 1, 2 and 3 weeks of age. 2. Saline injections retarded skeletal growth in both strains during the 1st week but only affected weight gain in LS birds. 3. Injections of ACTH depressed growth rate, caused adrenal enlargement and deplenished adrenal cholesterol to the same extent in both strains. 4. ACTH caused a greater reduction in bursal size in RIR than in LS birds. Spleen size was reduced by ACTH only in RIR birds. 5. At 2 and 3 weeks the plasma concentrations of corticosterone of RIR birds were greater than those of LS birds. Plasma corticosterone concentrations were within the normal range 24 h after the last injection of ACTH in both strains. 6. Plasma concentrations of growth hormone was unaffected by ACTH treatment in RIR birds, but it was increased in LS birds after 3 weeks of treatment.  相似文献
