Pelvic bladder in dogs without urinary incontinence     

M B Mahaffey  J A Barsanti  D L Barber  W A Crowell 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》1984,184(12):1477-1479

Double-contrast cystography was performed simultaneously with cystometrography in 6 male and 6 female dogs. All dogs were continent, and results of urinalyses were normal. Initial radiographs were made following intravesical infusion of 0.88 ml of positive contrast medium/kg of body weight. Additional radiographs were made during infusion of CO2. The last radiographs were made at the time of detrusor reflex (11 dogs) or when intravesical pressure reached 50 cm H2O (1 female). An average of 34% (range, 11% to 67%) of bladder length was within the pelvic canal when only the positive contrast medium was infused into the bladders. By the end of CO2 infusion, the bladder neck was more cranially located in 5 of 6 males and in 5 of 6 females. On the last radiographs made, an average of 19% (range, 10% to 35%) of bladder length was within the pelvic canal in 3 of 6 males and in 4 of 6 females. The bladder neck was rounded in 10 of 12 dogs. Thus, it was concluded that previous reports associating pelvic urinary bladder with urinary incontinence and other urologic abnormalities are questionable.  相似文献

Effects of micro-organisms on the absorption of inorganic nutrients by plants     

David A. Barber 《Pest management science》1973,4(3):367-373

Micro-organisms concentrated in the rhizosphere can influence the absorption of inorganic nutrients by plants. The effects were investigated by comparing uptake of nutrients in plants grown in the presence and absence of micro-organisms in both water culture and soil. In water culture, at phosphate concentrations below about 1.0 part/million competition occurs between barley plants and a microflora of casual laboratory contaminants resulting in reduced absorption and translocation of phosphate. In the presence of micro-organisms nitrogen uptake from nitrate was increased and from ammonium ions decreased; uptake of metal from solutions of ferric, zinc and manganous salts and EDTA chelates was enhanced. The results for plants grown in specific soils confirmed that competition from micro-organisms can reduce uptake of phosphate and molybdenum by the plants. The direct effect of rhizosphere micro-organisms can be demonstrated only in special circumstances but such studies aid our understanding of plant nutrition.  相似文献   

Hematologic Studies of Rinderpest-Infected Swine          下载免费PDF全文

W. P. Heuschele  T. L. Barber 《Canadian journal of veterinary research》1963,27(3):56-60

Complete hematologic studies on swine inoculated with virulent rinderpest virus are reported. There was a 67 per cent reduction in total leukocyte counts on the third day postinoculation; counts returned to normal by the eighth day. The remainder of the hematologic values showed no significant changes. There was a febrile response at 3 days postinoculation; by the eighth day, temperature had returned to normal. Other clinical signs were less conspicuous and consisted of anorexia, stiff gait, and arched back occurring only on the third and fourth days after inoculation. The immunity of previously inoculated swine was challenged with virulent rinderpest virus 23 days after initial infection and no abnormal change in hemograms or body temperature resulted. The rinderpest-inoculated groups developed antibodies as demonstrated by the virus neutralization tests in rabbits.  相似文献   

Cross-protective immunity between equine encephalomyelitis viruses in equids   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Eighteen equids were inoculated with eastern equine encephalomyelitis (EEE) and 18 equids with western equine encephalomyelitis (WEE) viruses to produce EEE virus- and WEE virus-immunized equids. Twelve surviving EEE virus-seropositive equids, 15 surviving WEE virus-seropositive equids, and 10 nonimmunized, seronegative equids (controls) were subsequently inoculated with an equine pathogenic (epizootic) strain of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus to determine cross-protective immunity. Challenge infection produced 90% mortality in control (nonimmunized) equids, and 40% mortality in WEE virus-seropositive equids; all EEE virus-seropositive equids survived. Postchallenge exposure VEE viremia levels in EEE virus- or WEE virus-seropositive equids were lower than those in the 10 nonimmunized VEE virus-inoculated control equids. Plaque-neutralizing antibody responses to VEE virus in the EEE virus- and WEE virus-seropositive equids were similar in time of onset and titer to the antibody responses of nonimmunized equids. Neutralizing antibody to the third equine encephalomyelitis virus (either EEE virus or WEE virus) was detectable in 19 of 27 equids after inoculation with the challenge virus, VEE. Demonstration of cross-protective immunity between EEE or WEE virus and VEE virus in equids confirmed field observations made during the VEE epizootic in Texas in 1971.  相似文献

Prickly paddy melon (Cucumis myriocarpus) poisoning of cattle     

RA McKENZIE  RD NEWMAN †  AC RAYNER †  PJ DUNSTER 《Australian veterinary journal》1988,65(6):167-170

Twenty-six Hereford heifers died after eating mostly ripe fruit of Cucumis myriocarpus growing in a fallowed cultivation paddock. Four affected cattle were dehydrated and apparently had abdominal pain. Necropsy of three revealed intense congestion with haemorrhage of the alimentary tract, numerous C. myriocarpus seeds in ruminal contents, pulmonary congestion and oedema and, in two, swollen livers. Midzonal swelling and vacuolation of hepatocytes occurred in these two. C. myriocarpus fruit (83% by weight ripe) were dosed to two calves at 60 g wet weight/kg live weight. Both collapsed with tachycardia and dyspnoea and died within 6 h. Their packed cell volumes just before death had increased to 0.7. They had hydropic degeneration and necrosis of the ruminal mucosa, intense congestion and oedema of the rumen, abomasum and intestines, swollen and vacuolated hepatocytes and foci of myocardial degeneration and necrosis. Two other calves were dosed daily with 20 g fruit/kg for three days, then 40 g/kg for three days. One calf received a further 40 g/kg next day. Both calves developed persistent diarrhoea and neutrophilia, and their plasma gamma glutamyltransferase and bilirubin concentrations increased. Necropsy revealed necrosis and oedema of the rumen and swollen degenerate hepatocytes.  相似文献
