Various magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques have been used to assess lumbar spinal abnormalities in people. Four, young adult, clinically normal dogs were used to compare images of the spinal cord acquired using conventional spin-echo and rapid acquisition relaxation-enhanced (RARE), commonly called fast spin-echo (FSE), magnetic resonance imaging techniques. Lateral myelograms were made as an anatomic control. The T2-weighted FSE technique was characterized by better image quality than the T2-weighted conventional spin-echo technique. The short acquisition time with the FSE technique allowed increases in the matrix size and number of excitations, thus improving resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. In canine lumbar spinal MR imaging, use of a FSE technique is recommended to reduce the overall time for imaging and to improve image quality.  相似文献   

Replacement of Fish Meal with Plant Feedstuffs in the Diet of Red Drum,Sciaenops ocellatus: Effects on Production Characteristics and Tolerance to Aquaculture‐Related Stressors     

Joseph D. Moxley  Waldemar Rossi  Alejandro Buentello  Camilo Pohlenz  Delbert M. Gatlin  Joseph R. Tomasso 《Journal of the World Aquaculture Society》2014,45(2):192-198

The continued expansion of intensive aquaculture activities requires that substitutes for fish meal‐based protein be identified. In this study, we evaluated partial (50 and 75%) replacement of fish meal in red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus, diets with soy protein concentrate (S) and barley protein concentrate (B). Growth, feed efficiency, survival, tolerance to low temperature, and tolerance to handling in warm, hypersaline water were evaluated. Only the diet with a 50% replacement of fish meal with S yielded results comparable to fish fed a nonsubstituted fish meal diet. However, the low‐temperature studies were complicated by differences in mean fish weight among the groups. The results of this study indicate S may be partially substituted for fish meal in red drum diets.  相似文献

EFFECTS OF EXPERIMENTAL NERVE ROOT COMPRESSION ON ARTERIAL BLOOD FLOW VELOCITY IN THE SEVENTH LUMBAR SPINAL GANGLION OF THE DOG: MEASUREMENT USING INTRAOPERATIVE DOPPLER ULTRASONOGRAPHY     

Jeryl C.  Jones  DVM  PHD  Judith A.  Hudson  DVM  PhD  Donald C.  Sorjonen  DVM  MS  Charles E.  Hoffman  CVT  BS  LATG  Kyle G.  Braund  BVS  MVS  PhD  James C.  Wright  DVM  MS  PhD  Phillip D.  Garrett  DVM  MS  Jan E.  Bartels  DVM  MS 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》1996,37(2):133-140

Intraoperative Doppler ultrasonography was used to measure the effects of four experimental nerve root compression treatments (central compression, central-plus-lateral compression, lateral compression, and compression release) on arterial blood flow velocities in the seventh lumbar spinal ganglion of three dogs. Graphed blood flow velocity changes (change = treatment value − pretreatment value) were below baseline during the first three compression treatments and above baseline following compression release. Mean blood flow velocity changes for both central-plus-lateral compression and lateral compression differed (p ≤ 0.05) from changes for central compression. Changes for central-plus-lateral compression did not differ (p > 0.05) from changes for lateral compression. Changes among the first three compression treatments differed (p ≤ 0.05) from changes for compression release. No histologic abnormalities were identified in compressed nerve tissues, compared to contralateral controls. These findings indicate that stenosis within the L7-S1 intervertebral foramen may cause ischemia of the L7 spinal ganglion in dogs.  相似文献   

Blood buffering in sedentary miniature horses after administration of sodium bicarbonate in single doses of varying amounts     

C.D. Corn BS  G.D. Potter PhD  T.W. Odom PhD  O.C. Jenkins PhD 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》1993,13(10)

Blood acid-base and electrolyte status was studied in four sedentary Miniature Horses treated with 200, 300, 400 and 500 mg of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) per kg of body weight (BW). Arterial blood was collected before treatment with NaHC0₃ and each hour for 5 h after treatment. All treatments resulted in an increase in blood pH, bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) concentration and base excess (BE) by 1 h post-dosage, which continued through the 5th hour (P < .05). Treatment with 200 mg NaHC0₃/kg BW resulted in less elevated blood HCO₃⁻ concentrations (P < .03) and BE values (P < .01) when compared to the other treatments. Following dosing with NaHCO₃, plasma Na⁺ concentrations increased among all treatments but declined to initial values by 3 h post-treatment. The 200 mg NaHCO₃/kg BW dosage resulted in the smallest increases in plasma Na⁺ concentrations (P < .03). Both plasma K⁺ and Ca⁺⁺ concentrations were lower (P < .05) among all treatment groups 1 h post-dosage but returned to initial values by 5 h and 3 h posttreatment, respectively, with no differences (P >.05) among treatments. All NaHCO₃ dosages increased blood buffering capacity as indicated by increased blood pH, HCO₃⁻ concentration and BE. Maximum blood pH, HCO⁻₃ concentration and BE was reached using a dosage of 300 mg NaHCO₃/kg BW. Also, all treatments altered the plasma electrolyte concentrations.  相似文献   

Preliminary Results of Clinical Renal Allograft Transplantation in the Dog and Cat   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

C. R. Gregory DVM    I. M. Gourley DVM  PhD    N. J. Taylor BS    T. W. Broaddus DVM  PhD    R. B. Olds DVM  J. D. Patz BS 《Journal of veterinary internal medicine / American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine》1987,1(2):53-60

Renal allograft transplantation was performed as treatment for terminal renal failure in six veterinary patients. Three patients failed to survive the postsurgical period, one patient died due to acute allograft rejection, one patient died subsequent to complications of previous parenteral hyperalimentation and infection, and one patient was euthanatized due to the inability of the clients to maintain the effort necessary to manage a transplant recipient. Further clinical studies are necessary to determine if renal transplantation with cyclosporine (cyclosporin A)/prednisolone immunosuppression has the potential to provide practical treatment of terminal renal disease in clinical veterinary medicine. Pharmacologic and immunologic monitoring of transplant recipients with individualized immunosuppression is imperative. Careful surveillance is necessary to identify and eliminate nosocomial sources of infection. Candidates for transplantation cannot be critically ill or malnourished prior to surgery, and pet owners must be prepared for the financial and time commitments associated with caring for a renal allograft recipient.  相似文献   

Chlorhexidine Gluconate Versus Chloroxylenol for Preoperative Skin Preparation in Dogs     

W. PRESTON STUBBS DVM    JAMIE R. BELLAH DVM  Dipiomate ACVS    DONNA VERMAAS-HEKMAN BS    BARBARA PURICH MS  PAUL S. KUBILIS MS 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1996,25(6):487-494

The efficacy of 3% chloroxylenol (PCMX) or 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (CG) for preoperative skin preparation was assessed in 100 dogs undergoing clean or clean-contaminated surgical procedures. Replication Organism Detection and Counting (RODAC) plates were used to quantify skin bacteria colony forming units (CFU) at the operative site before and after skin preparation and immediately postoperatively. Reduction of CFU after skin preparation and immediately postoperatively was significant for each agent. However, CFU levels were significantly lower in the CG group than in the PCMX group after surgical preparation, regardless of initial CFU numbers. No significant difference in CFU counts was observed between antiseptic groups postoperatively. Within-group comparisons showed PCMX to be significantly less efficacious when the prescrub CFU number was greater than 1,000. Bacterial reduction was similar in the CG group regardless of prescrub CFU levels. The number of negative cultures after skin preparation was significantly greater with CG than with PCMX. Chlorhexidine gluconate also had fewer cultures with heavy bacterial growth (>5 CFUs) after surgical preparation. There was no significant difference between antiseptics in the number of negative cultures or cultures with more than 5 CFUs immediately after surgery. The number of skin reactions and postoperative wound infections that occurred with each technique were similar. Three percent PCMX, as used in this study, was less effective than 4% CG in its immediate antimicrobial activity, however, this difference was not associated with an increased wound infection rate.  相似文献   

FRACTURED SCLERAL OSSICLES IN A RED TAIL HAWK     

Denise M.  Lindley  BS  DVM  John T.  Hathcock  DVM  MS  William W.  Miller  DVM  MS  M. Nina  DiPinto  VMD 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》1988,29(5):209-212

Following head trauma, the left globe of a Red Tail Hawk showed demonstrable indentation on palpation. Recurrent anterior chamber collapse and reformation dependent on head position was the most significant clinical finding. A fracture of the scleral ossicles in the caudal portion of the scleral ring was identified in the rostrocaudal radiograph of the skull. Conservative management of the fracture resulted in phthisis bulbi. Fractured scleral ossicles have been shown radiographically in the enucleated globe but have not been previously demonstrated in the eye of the living bird.  相似文献
