A caudal approach to the scapulohumeral joint for treatment of osteochondritis dissecans of the humeral head was performed in seven dogs. By 14 days after surgery, three of the seven dogs were walking normally. At 6 weeks after surgery, all dogs were considered sound. Visualization was adequate for curettage of the osteochondritis dissecans lesions. Access to the medial joint compartment also was afforded.  相似文献   

Retroversion of the Epiglottis as a Complication of Endotracheal Intubation in the Horse A Pilot Study     

NICHOLAS H. DODMAN bmvs  mrcvs  dva  Diplomateacva  PHILIP D. KOBLIK dvm  ms  Diplomateacvr MICHAEL H. COURT bvsc   《Veterinary surgery : VS》1986,15(3):275-278

As part of a study of possible causes of postoperative pulmonary complications of general anesthesia in the horse, lateral cervical radiographs were taken after endotracheal intubation in nine randomly selected horses. The epiglottis was found to be retroverted in three. Subsequently, the effects of epiglottic retroversion during anesthesia on postoperative laryngeal function were investigated experimentally in three horses by fluoroscopy. No untoward sequelae were observed. Prophylaxis and potential adverse effects of this previously unreported complication of endotracheal intubation in the horse are discussed.  相似文献

LYMPHOMA AFFECTING THE URINARY BLADDER IN THREE DOGS AND A CAT     

LIVIA BENIGNI  CHRISTOPHER R. LAMB  NURIA CORZO-MENENDEZ  REW HOLLOWAY  JANE M. EASTWOOD 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》2006,47(6):592-596

Three dogs and one cat with lymphoma affecting the urinary bladder are reported and the findings on abdominal radiographs and ultrasound are described. Mural lesions representing lymphoma affecting the urinary bladder were identified ultrasonographically in all animals. The most common complications associated with urinary bladder lymphoma were hydronephrosis and hydroureter. In two patients contrast radiography was necessary to detect leakage of urine in the peritoneal and retroperitoneal space. The radiographic and ultrasonographic signs were similar to those reported with other urinary bladder neoplasms; hence urinary bladder lymphoma could not be distinguished from the more common urinary bladder neoplasms, such as transitional cell carcinoma. It is important to include lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of urinary bladder wall thickening and mural mass in dogs and cats.  相似文献   

Mid-metacarpal Deep Digital Flexor Tenotomy in the Management of Refractory Laminitis in Horses     

R. J. HUNT dvm  ms  D. ALLEN dvm  ms  Diplomate acvs  G. M. BAXTER dvm  ms  Diplomate acvs  B. R. JACKMAN dvm  A. H. PARKS MA  VET MB  MRCVS  Diplomate ACVS 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1991,20(1):15-20

Deep digital flexor tendon transection at the mid-metacarpus was performed in 20 horses with severe acute or chronic laminitis that was not responsive to conventional treatment. Sixteen horses improved within 72 hours, one horse worsened, and two horses were unaffected by the surgery. Eleven horses survived less than 1 month after surgery and six horses survived longer than 6 months. Three horses surviving longer than 6 months have remained lame and no horse has returned to athletic performance. Transection of the deep digital flexor tendon at the mid-metacarpus may decrease the pain associated with the acute refractory stage of laminitis and may be useful as an immediate salvage procedure; however, despite the early clinical improvement observed after tenotomy, the survival rate of affected horses may not be altered.  相似文献   

The Reliability of Endoscopic Examination in Assessment of Arytenoid Cartilage Movement in Horses Part I: Subjective and Objective Laryngeal Evaluation   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Videorecordings of the laryngeal activity of 108 unsedated horses were obtained at rest by passing a flexible videoendoscope into the nasopharynx through the right ventral meatus. All videotaped images were reviewed once, and 72 were reviewed twice, by three veterinarians. Laryngeal cartilage movement was assessed subjectively with a five-tier grading system. The mean intraobserver agreement was 83.3% (range, 75.0%-90.2%) with a kappa statistic of .65 to .98. The mean interobserver agreement was 79.0% (range, 70.4%-80.6%) with a kappa statistic of .51 to .90. A computer program was developed to measure the left:right ratio of the rima glottidis. The mean left:right ratio for horses assigned a median laryngeal grade of I was 0.84 (range, 0.55-1.03); for grade II, 0.82 (0.50-1.12); for grade III, 0.59 (0.39-0.91); and for grade IV, 0.24 (0.07-0.35).  相似文献   

Craniolateral Approach to the Humerus with Transection of the Brachialis Muscle   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

MAURA K. WALLACE dvm  JOHN BERG dvm  ms  Diplomate acvs 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1991,20(2):97-99

Six fractures of the midshaft or distal third of the humerus were repaired through a modified craniolateral approach in which the brachialis muscle was transected rather than retracted to improve exposure of the bone. The approach simplified fracture reduction and fixation. Normal fracture healing and excellent limb function resulted in each case.  相似文献   

Innovation,High-Technology Use,and Flexibility in Small Manufacturing Firms     

RUTH C. YOUNG  JOE D. FRANCIS  CHRISTOPHER H. YOUNG 《Growth and change》1993,24(1):67-86

Innovation, use of high technology, and flexibility of response to customer needs are studied in two surveys of small manufacturing firms in New York and Pennsylvania. They are shown in both surveys to be separate and unrelated concepts. None of five industry-level classifications of high-technology firms, using SIC codes predict these concepts on a firm level. Only innovation is related to a sophisticated firm marketing program. and to export from the state.  相似文献   

Is there a role of ocean environment in American and European eel decline?   总被引：3，自引：1，他引：3  

MARTIN CASTONGUAY  PETER V. HODSON  CHRISTOPHER MORIARTY  KENNETH F. DRINKWATER  BRIAN M. JESSOP 《Fisheries Oceanography》1994,3(3):197-203

American eel (Anguilla rostrata) recruitment has declined dramatically, in parallel with that of European eel (Anguilla anguilla). Since both species spawn in the Sargasso Sea and migrate as larvae to continental waters, the coincidence in recruitment failure implies an Atlantic-wide cause, due perhaps to ocean climate. There is indirect evidence that the Gulf Stream has weakened in the 1980s. A slower Gulf Stream could interfere with larval transport and generate observed patterns of declining abundance of American eel only in northern North America and relatively uniform declines of European eel throughout Europe. While specific causes are still unclear, these data indicate a threat to both species and to their commercial fisheries.  相似文献   

THE EFFECT OF SEQUENCE SELECTION AND FIELD STRENGTH ON DETECTION OF OSTEOCHONDRAL DEFECTS IN THE METACARPOPHALANGEAL JOINT     

NATASHA M. WERPY  CHARLES P. HO  ANTHONY P. PEASE  CHRISTOPHER E. KAWCAK 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》2011,52(2):154-160

Six cadaver forelimbs were imaged in two high‐field magnetic resonance (MR) systems and one low‐field MR system following the creation of osteochondral defects on the palmar distal aspect of the third metacarpal bone. The following sequences were performed using all three systems: proton density (PD) turbo spin echo, T2^* gradient echo (GRE), T2‐weighted fast spin echo, and short tau inversion recovery. In addition, 3D T1 GRE sagittal standard and motion insensitive sequences were obtained using the low‐field system. PD fat saturated and 3D T1‐weighted spoiled GRE images with and without fat suppression were acquired with the high‐field systems. Lesions were measured and assigned a confidence score. The images obtained using high‐field systems (1.0 and 1.5 T) more accurately represented the osteochondral defects when compared with low‐field system (0.27 T) images. The largest difference was observed when evaluating articular cartilage defects, which were not identified on the low‐field images. Sequence selection affected the appearance of the lesions. On all systems the turbo and fast spin echo sequences more accurately represented the lesion size and shape when compared with the GRE sequences. The T1 GRE sequence is the only sequence that appears to allow visualization of the articular cartilage on the low‐field images, but is limited in providing adequate cartilage visualization. Confidence scores were greater on the high‐field systems when compared with the low‐field system.  相似文献
