Arthrosis with special reference to the elbow joint of young rapidly growing dogs. II. Occurrence, clinical and radiographical findings.     

J Gr?ndalen 《Nordisk veterinaermedicin》1979,31(2):69-75

Occurrence, clinical and radiographical findings in ununited medial coronoid process in the ulna and osteochondritis dissecans in the humeral condyle in dogs are presented. One hundred and twelve dogs were examined because of forelimb lameness. Lesions were mostly seen in young dogs of heavy breeds especially the Rottweiler. The ratio male: female was about 2:1. Most of the dogs had bilateral lesions. The lameness varied between grade 1 and 3, judged according to a scale ranging from 1 to 5. The affected limbs were somewhat rotated outwards from the elbow and down. Since the ununited coronoid process is almost impossible to detect on a plain radiograph, it is necessary to look for the presence of secondary developed osteophytes, indicative of an arthrosis. Diagnosis is based upon clinical and radiographical findings, the age and the breed of the dog taken into consideration. Osteochondritis dissecans in the humeral condyle is usually easily seen on the dorsopalmar radiograph.  相似文献   

Listeriosis in sheep. Isolation of Listeria monocytogenes from grass silage.     

Hallstein Grnstl 《Acta veterinaria Scandinavica》1979,20(4):492-497

Two hundred and ninety-one grass silage samples from 113 farms with recent outbreaks of listeriosis were examined for the presence of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm). The frequency of Lm isolations increased with increasing pH. Lm was isolated from 22 % of the samples with pH < 4, from 37 % with pH 4–5 and from 56 % with pH > 5. Formic acid had been used as additive.A similar investigation was carried out on 32 samples from a farm with no outbreak of listeriosis during the investigation period. Lm was isolated from 9 samples.  相似文献   

Hepatic morphology and effects of intravenous injection of sodium propionate on plasma propionate and glucose in fed and fasted dairy cattle     

M L Bruss  Y Gr?hn  E M Huffman  L A Lindberg 《American journal of veterinary research》1986,47(2):336-341

Sodium propionate (3 mmol/kg) was injected IV into 8 nonlactating dairy cows before and after 6 days (144 hours) of fasting. During fasting, long-chain fatty acids in plasma increased from 0.30 +/- 0.05 (SE) mM to 1.09 +/- 0.15 mM (P less than 0.05). Liver fat increased from 0.5 +/- 0.3% to 9.3 +/- 1.7% (P less than 0.05). Half-life of injected sodium propionate increased significantly (P less than 0.05) from 7.6 +/- 0.5 minutes to 10.1 +/- 1.0 minutes during fasting. Sulfobromophthalein half-life did not change significantly (3.8 +/- 0.79 minutes to 5.3 +/- 1.3 minutes). Increases in plasma glucose concentrations after propionate loading were significantly less during fasting than during feeding. Thus, the change in glucose concentration served as an indicator of hepatic conversion of propionate to glucose. Increases in glucose concentration of less than 2 mM at 30 minutes after propionate loading indicated that liver function was altered in nonlactating dairy cows.  相似文献   

Clinical and hematological studies in newborn Holstein-Frisian breeding calves with diarrhea in Morocco]     

L Maach  H D Gründer  A Boujija 《DTW. Deutsche tier?rztliche Wochenschrift》1992,99(4):133-140

A total of 120 (80 males and 39 females) newborn Holstein-Frisian calves suffering from acute diarrhoea were studied clinically and biochemically, including the following parameters: pH, pCO2, act. HCO3, BE, RBC, PCV, HV, glucose lactate, urea, creatinine, total bilirubin, total protein, AST, Na, K and Cl. The results were interpreted according to their healthy condition, their age as well as their sex. The study had revealed an extreme metabolic acidosis, haemoconcentration, hypoglycaemia and hypofunction in the kidney and liver. Furthermore, the calves with diarrhoea had showed hyponatraemia, hypochloraemia, and hyperkalaemia. Important correlations between clinical and some blood parameters were found. Metabolic acidosis was more severe in male calves than females. These pathophysiological changes should be put in consideration during the therapy of newborn calves suffering from diarrhoea.  相似文献

Interactions between the predacious fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora and third-stage larvae of a series of animal-parasitic nematodes   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

P Nansen  J Gr?nvold  S A Henriksen  J Wolstrup 《Veterinary parasitology》1988,26(3-4):329-337

Interactions between the predacious hyphomycete Arthrobotrys oligospora and third-stage larvae of nine animal-parasitic nematodes were tested in vitro. The trap-inducing capabilities of the ruminant trichostrongylus Cooperia oncophora, C. curticei, Haemonchus contortus and Ostertagia ostertagi and of equine cyathostomes were almost comparable to those of free-living soil nematodes, and significantly higher than those of the porcine Oesophagostomum dentatum and Oe. quadrispinulatum and of the murine Nematospiroides dubius. The trap-forming potential of Dictyocaulus viviparus was poor. All animal-parasitic nematodes were rapidly captured when fungal traps had been pre-induced in high numbers. The possible influence of predacious fungi on animal-parasitic nematode populations under natural conditions in the field is discussed.  相似文献   

Procoagulant activity in respiratory tract secretions from horses with chronic pulmonary disease   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

G Grünig  M Hermann  C Winder  R Von Fellenberg 《American journal of veterinary research》1988,49(5):705-709

Cell-free supernatants (sol phases), obtained after centrifugation (50,000 x g for 45 minutes) of respiratory tract secretions from horses with chronic pulmonary disease, were assayed for procoagulant activity (PCA) in a one-stage clotting assay. Of the 103 specimens tested, 59% (61) contained PCA. Procoagulant activity was detected most often in respiratory tract secretions of severely affected horses and was correlated with the quantity of neutrophils in the respiratory tract secretions. In 12 of the 17 secretions tested, the clotting time was decreased in a dose-dependent manner. However, in the coagulation assay, some reversal of PCA or inhibition of coagulation was observed in 4 secretion specimens when greater volumes of sol phase were added. Procoagulant activity was characterized tentatively as tissue factor, because it was temperature stable and was inhibited by phospholipase C and by concanavalin A. Clotting was induced in factor VIII-deficient human plasma; however, with the exception of 1 respiratory secretion specimen, clotting was not enhanced in factor VII-deficient human plasma. Procoagulant activity is a useful indicator of airway inflammation.  相似文献   

Outbreaks of early-season trichostrongylosis in calves in Denmark     

P Nansen  J Gr?nvold  R J J?rgensen  S A Henriksen  J Foldager  K Sejrsen 《Veterinary parasitology》1989,32(2-3):199-211

This paper describes clinically manifest infections occurring as early as June and early July in first-season grazing calves in Denmark during the period 1972-1987. Two severe outbreaks in 1976, included in our experiments, were studied in detail. Herbage infectivity was particularly high in grass tufts surrounding cow pats that were present in high numbers around the time of turnout. It is hypothesized that the preceding extremely dry summer followed by a hard winter had indirectly retarded degradation of dung pats and thereby favoured the overwintering of the larval populations in the dung reservoirs. In a third experiment, conducted in the same year, the epidemiological pattern was more normal; presumably due to artificial irrigation of the pasture during the drought. Early-season cases that were recorded in 1980 and 1987 could possibly be related to cold winters and/or very early turnout. The findings are discussed in the light of ecological factors responsible for the breakdown of cow pats. The clinical implications are seen in relation to current control methods.  相似文献
