Abstract— A 5-year-old mongrel dog developed necrolytic migratory erythema secondary to a glucagon-secreting α cell tumor. The dog was anemic, glucose intolerant, and hyperglucagonemic but liver function tests were within normal limits. Metastatic tumor cells were found in the liver but the primary tumor was not identified.

The Effect of Resuscitation Technique and Pre-Arrest State of Oxygenation on Blood–Gas Values during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Dogs     

AUNNA C. LIPPERT dvm  ms    A. THOMAS EVANS dvm  ms  Diplomate acva    BLAINE C. WHITE md  GEORGE E. EYSTER vmd  ms  Diplomate acvs 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1988,17(5):283-290

Large mongrel dogs were anesthetized, instrumented, and subjected to electrically induced ventricular fibrillation after breathing either 100% oxygen (O2) or 10% O2 and 90% nitrogen for 10 minutes before arrest. Four minutes after arrest, open chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or intermittent abdominal compression closed chest CPR was initiated and continued for 20 minutes, at which time defibrillation was attempted. Central arterial and mixed venous blood samples were collected serially for the measurement of pH, carbon dioxide partial pressure (PCO2), and O2 partial pressure (PO2), and calculation of bicarbonate concentration and base excess. Mixed venous blood was collected serially for the measurement of lactate concentration. Hemodynamically variable resuscitation techniques and pre-arrest hypoxia or hyperoxia did not significantly influence blood-gas values during CPR. Mixed venous lactate concentrations after 20 minutes of CPR were significantly higher when hypoxia preceded the arrest and when intermittent abdominal compression closed chest CPR was used for resuscitation. Mixed venous PCO2 was significantly higher than arterial PCO2 in all dogs during CPR but was not significantly different before arrest.  相似文献   

Splanchnic Surface Oximetry during Experimental Portal Hypertension and Surgical Manipulation of Portosystemic Shunts in Dogs     

STEVEN L. PETERSON dvm  ms  CLARE R. GREGORY dvm  Diplomate acvs  JACK R. SNYDER dvm  PhD  Diplomate acvs  PAMELA G. WHITING dvm  DENNIS STRACK bs  EUGENE M. BREZNOCK dvm  PhD  Diplomate acvs 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1991,20(3):164-168

Surface oxygen tension (PSO2) was measured in dogs during experimental manipulation of the portal vein and hepatic artery, and during surgery to correct portosystemic shunting. There was no alteration in PSO2 of liver, pancreas, duodenum, or jejunum during partial (50%) or complete reduction of hepatic artery flow. After 100% reduction in portal vein blood flow, PSO2 was lower in jejunum, duodenum, and liver. With 50% reduction in portal flow, PSO2 was significantly decreased only in jejunum. In six dogs with single extrahepatic shunts, there was a significant correlation between portal pressure and jejunal PSO2. It was concluded that measurement of visceral organ PSO2 represents an accurate noninvasive means of obtaining objective data on the effect of reduction in hepatic blood flow on perfusion of other select splanchnic organs.  相似文献   

The Reliability of Endoscopic Examination in Assessment of Arytenoid Cartilage Movement in Horses Part II. Influence of Side of Examination, Reexamination, and Sedation   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

N. G. DUCHARME dmv  msc  Diplomate acvs  R. P. HACKETT dvm  ms  Diplomate acvs  S. L. FUBINI dvm  Diplomate acvs H. N. ERB dvm  PhD 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1991,20(3):180-184

Twenty Thoroughbred and Standardbred horses underwent endoscopic evaluation of arytenoid cartilage movement twice within 1 week. Each time, a flexible endoscope was passed without sedation through the right nostril and the left nostril, and through the right nostril 5 minutes after administration of xylazine hydrochloride (0.55 mg/kg or 1.1 mg/kg intravenously). Laryngeal cartilage movement was videorecorded. All videotaped images were reviewed by three veterinarians and subjectively placed in one of four grades. The intraobserver agreement rate varied from 52.6% for examination under sedation with 1.1 mg/kg of xylazine to 89.5% for unsedated reexamination through the left nostril. The effect of the various observations on median laryngeal grade was calculated. Examination under xylazine hydrochloride at either dosage yielded a change in median laryngeal grade from the unsedated examination in 45% of the evaluations. Reevaluation through the right or left nostril resulted in a different median laryngeal grade in 21% and 5% of the examinations, respectively. Objective measurements of the rima glottidis obtained by computer-assisted morphometric analysis of the recorded laryngeal images allowed laryngeal images to be dichotomized regardless of the condition of endoscopic examination. Endoscopic evaluation of laryngeal cartilage movement is subjective and is influenced by sedation with xylazine, evaluation through the alternate nostril, and different day of examination. The most consistent evaluation was obtained during repeated examination through the left nostril.  相似文献   

Evaluation of the Lateral Collateral Ligament After Fibular Head Transposition in Dogs     

JACQUES DUPUIS DMV  MS  Diplomate ACVS    JOSEPH HARARI MS  DVM  Diplomate ACVS    DONALD M. BLACKKETTER PhD  ANTHONY M. GALLINA DVM  PhD 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1994,23(6):456-465

Cranial transposition of the fibular head stabilizes the stifle joint by displacing the distal attachment of the lateral collateral ligament (LCL). The forces applied to the LCL after displacement may cause ligamentous elongation. This investigation evaluated the morphological, histological, and biomechanical changes of the LCL after fibular head transposition (FHT) in dogs. Unilateral cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) excision and FHT were performed on 25 dogs. Cross-sectional area, length, histological, and structural properties of the LCL were evaluated 3 weeks, 4 months, and 10 months after surgery. Ligament length means were significantly increased at week 3, month 4, and month 10 compared with intraoperative length means. No significant changes in elongation were observed after week 3. Fibrovascular proliferation within the LCL increased the cross-sectional area and associated structural properties.  相似文献   

Perianal Fistulas in the Dog Retrospective Evaluation of Surgical Treatment by Deroofing and Fulguration     

ROBERT L. GORING dvm  Diplomateacvs  RONALD M. BRIGHT dvm  ms  Diplomateacvs MARK L STANCIL dvm   《Veterinary surgery : VS》1986,15(5):392-398

Deroofing and fulguration (DR&F) was used as a surgical treatment for perianal fistulas in 30 dogs over a 5 year period at the University of Florida Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. A retrospective evaluation of the efficacy of this procedure was based on a written questionnaire completed by the owners. Dogs were placed initially into one of four categories according to their degree of perianal involvement: 0 to 90°, 91 to 180°, 181 to 270°, and 271 to 360°. The mean elapsed time between the last surgical treatment and follow-up evaluation was 39 months (range 6 to 63 months). Seventy-seven percent of the dogs were German shepherds. Sixty-seven percent of the dogs were intact males. The mean age of the dogs at the time of onset was 59 months (range 22 to 106 months). The most common presenting clinical signs were owner recognition of fistulous tracts (97%), tenesmus (37%), and licking of the perianal region (20%). The most frequently encountered postoperative complications were recurrence (70%) followed by varying degrees of incontinence (23%) and tenesmus (20%). Incontinence was transient in 5 of 7 dogs. Long-term results were the following: 5 dogs (17%) excellent, 13 dogs (43%) good, 3 dogs (10%) fair, and 9 dogs (30%) poor. Anal sacculectomy as an adjunct therapy was generally done only when the anal sacs were secondarily involved. In 2 dogs, prophylactic anal sacculectomy was done at the time of DR&F. The use of this technique is advocated in dogs moderately affected with perianal fistulas (0 to 180°) because of the minimal invasiveness, limited postoperative morbidity, and relative effectiveness of the procedure as demonstrated by the results of this study. In those dogs more severely affected, DR&F was not shown to be superior to other methods previously described.  相似文献   

A Comparison of Nonthreaded, Enhanced Threaded, and Ellis Fixation Pins Used in Type I External Skeletal Fixators in Dogs   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

M. A. ANDERSON dvm  ms    F. A. MANN dvm  ms  Diplomate acvs    C. WAGNER-MANN dvm  PhD    A. W. HAHN DVM  PhD  Diplomate ACVIM    B. L. JIANG PhD  J. L. TOMLINSON DVM  MVSci  Diplomate ACVS 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1993,22(6):482-489

Three different pin types (Ellis, enhanced threaded, and nonthreaded) were used in type 1 external skeletal fixation after transverse osteotomy of the radius and ulna in 12 skeletally mature dogs. Dogs were placed into three groups of four dogs based on the pin type used. Axial extraction forces were determined for each of the pin types after 8 weeks of weight bearing (chronic study). Nine contralateral radii were used to determine axial extraction forces for nine of each pin type not subjected to weight bearing forces (acute study). The force required for extraction of the enhanced threaded and Ellis pins in the chronic and acute studies was not significantly different. The force required to extract the nonthreaded pins was significantly less than that required for the other two pin types. Ground reaction forces had returned to levels measured before surgery by 2 weeks after surgery in the enhanced threaded and Ellis pin groups, however, dogs in the nonthreaded pin group required 4 weeks until normal ground reaction forces were measured. Radiographic evaluations 1,2,4, 6, and 8 weeks after surgery showed no difference among groups in the number of pin tract radio-lucencies, however, the enhanced threaded pins had caused more trans-cortical chip fractures than the other two pin types. None of the pins broke during the eight-week chronic study.  相似文献   

Internal Skeletal Fixation Using a Kirschner Apparatus for Stabilization of Fracture/Luxations of the Lumbosacral Joint in Six Dogs: A Modification of the Transilial Pin Technique     

SHARON L. ULLMAN dvm  ms  RANDY J. BOUDRIEAU dvm  dipiomate acvs   《Veterinary surgery : VS》1993,22(1):11-17

A technique using a modification of the transilial pin technique for stabilization of fracture/ luxations of the lumbosacral joint was performed in six dogs. This technique used an internal skeletal fixator composed of two transilial pins secured with two double fixator clamps. Collapse (shortening) of the seventh lumbar vertebra (L7) was observed in five dogs without compromise of the vertebral canal. Kirschner wires placed across the articular facets as supplemental fixation devices migrated to the subcutaneous tissues in two dogs and were easily removed. Migration of the internal fixators was not observed during healing; vertebral canal dimensions were maintained in all cases, and the internal fixators were not removed after resolution of fracture healing. All fractures were healed within 6 to 12 weeks of surgery without evidence of pain, neurologic impairment, or long-term complications.  相似文献

Fracture of the Supraglenoid Tubercle Treatment and Results in Five Horses     

R. L. PANKOWSKI dvm  B. D. GRANT dvm  ms  Diplomateacvs  R. SANDE dvm  PhD  Diplomateacvr F. A. NICKELS dvm  ms  Diplomateacvs 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1986,15(1):33-39

Five horses with fractures of the supraglenoid tubercle (tuber scapulae) were presented from 6 weeks to 1 year after injury. Clinical signs included lameness characterized by a shortened cranial phase of the stride and shoulder muscle atrophy. Radiographically, the fractures differed in the degree of cranioventral displacement of the fragment as well as the extent of joint involvement. Three horses were treated by resection of the fractured tubercle, including one using a new grid approach to the area of the fracture. Two of these horses have returned to athletic activity and one was euthanized due to postoperative infection. One horse with minimal displacement and joint involvement was treated with rest and raced successfully. One horse seen with a fracture of 1 year duration also was treated with rest and was a pasture sound broodmare.  相似文献
