Examination of the origin of increased equine serum alkaline phosphatase concentrations   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Trueman KF  Lumsden JH  McSherry BJ 《The Canadian veterinary journal. La revue veterinaire canadienne》1983,24(4):108-111

Serum alkaline phosphatase activity was found to be increased in 32.6% of equine samples analyzed at the Ontario Veterinary College over an 18 month period. An attempt was made using sensitivity to L-phenylalanine and heat to identify the origin of increased serum alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes present in 44 clinical cases. No difference in sensitivity to either procedure was observed for serum alkaline phosphatase from groups of foals and horses representing different clinical problems. Alkaline phosphatase of osseous tissue origin appeared to be the major source of activity for each group of animals reported.  相似文献   

Cervical intervertebral disc protrusion in two horses   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1  

Foss RR  Genetzky RM  Riedesel EA  Graham C 《The Canadian veterinary journal. La revue veterinaire canadienne》1983,24(6):188-191

Two horses with ataxia of all four limbs were found to have cervical intervertebral disc protrusion. Severe pelvic limb ataxia, proprioceptive deficits and spasticity were present in both horses with similar but less severe signs in the thoracic limbs. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis was within normal limits. Metrizamide myelography allowed definitive diagnosis in one case when a compression of the spinal cord was demonstrated at the level of the second intervertebral space. In the second case, an intervertebral disc protrusion between cervical vertebrae 6 and 7 was found at necropsy. Fiber degeneration with poor myelin staining characterized the spinal cords histologically.  相似文献   

A strategy for control of bovine leukemia virus infection: test and corrective management   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0       下载免费PDF全文

Ruppanner R  Behymer DE  Paul S  Miller JM  Theilen GH 《The Canadian veterinary journal. La revue veterinaire canadienne》1983,24(6):192-195

Test and corrective management was applied in one dairy herd (130 milking cows) to control bovine leukemia virus infection. It consisted of: raising uninfected calves in order to establish a pool of uninfected replacement heifers, preventing transmission of bovine leukemia virus through transfer of blood from animal to animal and closing the herd. Regular herd testing was combined with selected changes in herd management. These procedures have been followed since January 1979. Prevalence of antibodies (as determined by gel-immunodiffusion) has declined markedly since the program was implemented.  相似文献

The Management of Prostaglandin-controlled Breeding Programs in Beef Cattle - A Five Year Study          下载免费PDF全文

Wenkoff M  Crowe-Swords PR 《The Canadian veterinary journal. La revue veterinaire canadienne》1983,24(2):50-53

A herd of 180 beef cows was synchronized with prostaglandin and bred by artifical insemination for five successive years. Factors influencing the success or failure of estrus synchronizing programs were identified, including the management of nutrition, postpartum interval, cow age and artificial insemination technology. Specific recommendations on the management of prostaglandin-controlled breeding programs resulted in improving the pregnancy rates from 33% in year 1 to 67% in year 5. Improved management and close veterinary supervision were shown to improve the success of an estrus synchronization program.  相似文献   

Chronic malignant catarrhal fever: a case in a sika deer (Cervus nippon)     

Wilson PR  Alley MR  Irving AC 《New Zealand veterinary journal》1983,31(1-2):7-9

A condition resembling chronic malignant catarrhal fever was seen in a 9-month-old pet sika hind (Cervus nippon). From an initial acute depression, pyrexia, and anorexia, the condition progressed to include hypopyon, keratitis, lethargy, loss of condition, sloughing of one hoof and eventually death after seven weeks. There were multiple, 5 to 8mm diameter dark-red nodules throughout the mesenteries and mediastinum, along abdominal organ ligaments, and about the uterus and kidneys. Histopathology showed the nodules to be organising vascular thrombi. Concurrent perivascular mononuclear infiltrations and intravascular thrombi in many tissues confirmed that the condition was malignant catarrhal fever.  相似文献   

Lymphosarcoma with hypercalcemia and osteolysis in a dog          下载免费PDF全文

Hirsch VM  McLaughlin BG  Parent J 《The Canadian veterinary journal. La revue veterinaire canadienne》1983,24(10):301-304

Lymphosarcoma in a six year old male Doberman pinscher was accompanied by hypercalcemia, generalized osteolysis and renal calcification. Tumor involvement of bone marrow was extensive. The possible pathogenesis of hypercalcemia was thought to be the result of a locally active bone-resorbing factor secreted by the tumor cells.  相似文献

The F38-Like Group,a New Group of Caprine Mycoplasmas?     

H. Ern   R. H. Leach  M. M. Salih  K. J. MacOwan 《Acta veterinaria Scandinavica》1983,24(3):275-286

This paper concerns the taxonomic status of the F38-like group (MacOwan), a prime determinant of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP). Extensive biochemical and serological investigations on strain F38 are reported. Some complex serological relationships with other mycoplasma species are revealed. The results, taken in conjunction with earlier published work on geno-typic characters, lead to the conclusion that final classification of these organisms should await further comparative studies of a number of field strains with a related group of strains classified as M. capri-colum.The characterization of F38 confirms its partial relationship to the “M. mycoides group” of ovine/caprine/bovine mycoplasmas, and has also revealed a very close phenotypic relationship to the bovine mycoplasma serogroup 7, a finding of potential diagnostic and epidemiological importance.Key words: mycoplasmas, classification, F38-like group  相似文献
