Gestational diabetes mellitus with diabetic ketoacidosis in a Yorkshire terrier bitch     

Armenise A  Pastorelli G  Palmisano A  Sontas HB  Romagnoli S 《Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association》2011,47(4):285-289

A 6 yr old pregnant Yorkshire terrier bitch presented 62 days after mating with an acute history of vomiting and coughing. The owners also reported that the dog was polyuric and polydypsic for the last 2 weeks. Complete blood count, serum biochemistry, and urinalysis revealed hyperglycemia, ketonemia, ketonuria, and metabolic acidosis. Diabetic ketoacidosis was diagnosed and after emergency treatment, including fluid therapy, prophylactic antibiotics, and regular insulin, the bitch whelped six healthy normal puppies. Two weeks after treatment, the bitch was clinically normal with normal fructosamine levels. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of gestational diabetes mellitus in a small breed dog.  相似文献   

Identification of toxigenic Pasteurella multocida in atrophic rhinitis of pigs by in vitro characterisation     

GJ EAMENS  PD KIRKLAND  MJ TURNER  JA GARDNER†  MP WHITE‡  CL HORNITZKY 《Australian veterinary journal》1988,65(4):120-123

Toxigenic strains of Pasteurella multocida were readily differentiated from non-toxigenic strains by an agarose overlay method using bovine turbinate cells or bovine lung cells. Cells which were young and densely confluent were best suited to this assay. The incubation period required to distinguish toxigenic strains was dependent on the confluence of the monolayers, which was affected by the seeding rate, cell passage level and growth time prior to overlay. The agarose overlay method correctly identified 11 of 11 reference strains of Pasteurella multocida, and visible cytotoxic changes were present in the monolayers after 48 to 65 h. Outbreaks of the enzootic form of atrophic rhinitis in 2 New South Wales piggeries were associated with the isolation of toxigenic type D strains of P. multocida.  相似文献   

An outbreak of malignant catarrhal fever in young rusa deer (Cervus timorensis)     

NW TOMKINS  NN JONSSON  MP YOUNG  AN GORDON  KA McCOLL 《Australian veterinary journal》1997,75(10):722-723

On the basis of clinical signs and histological findings eight 9-month-old male rusa deer ( Cervus timorensis ) were diagnosed with sheep associated-malignant catarrhal fever. Following a variable course involving rectal temperatures around 40.5°C, depression, inappetence, diarrhoea, corneal opacity and hypopyon all animals died or were euthanased over a 5-week period. Severe multifocal vasculitis, mainly periglomerular and in the arcuate vessels were consistent histological findings which in the past have been adequate to confirm clinical diagnosis of sheep associated-malignant catarrhal fever. A nested poly-merase chain reaction test has been used to detect a sheep associated-malignant catarrhal fever PRC product, 238 base-pairs in size, in DNA extracted from lymphocyte preparations. The result supported the diagnosis of sheep associated-malignant catarrhal fever in these deer.  相似文献   

Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction in a dog     

WA LAMB  MP FRANCE† 《Australian veterinary journal》1994,71(3):84-86

SUMMARY A three-year-old neutered female Border Collie was presented with in-appetence, vomiting and diarrhoea. Abdominal radiographs revealed an obstructive pattern but no physical obstruction was evident at laparotomy. A diagnosis of chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction was made based on histopathological changes in intestinal biopsies. Treatment was unsuccessful and the dog deteriorated progressively until euthanased five weeks after presentation.  相似文献

Ochratoxin a determination in beer by solid-phase microextraction coupled to liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection: a fast and sensitive method for assessment of noncompliance to legal limits     

Aresta A  Palmisano F  Vatinno R  Zambonin CG 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2006,54(5):1594-1598

A solid-phase microextraction-liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection (SPME-LC-FD) method for the determination of ochratoxin A (OTA) in commercial beer samples was developed for the first time using a 60 microm thick poly(dimethylsiloxane)/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) fiber. The procedure required a very simple sample pretreatment, an isocratic elution, and provides a selective extraction. All of the factors influencing fiber adsorption (extraction time, temperature, pH, and salt addition) and desorption of the analyte (desorption and injection time and desorption solvent mixture composition) have been investigated. The linear range investigated in beer was 0.03-2 ng/mL; within-day and between-days relative standard deviation in beer were 4.3 and 5.9%, respectively. The limit of quantification in spiked beer was 53 pg mL(-)(1), well below all European regulatory levels.  相似文献

Trends in the use of pesticides and pestiside residues on Queensland wool     

MP WARD  RTF ARMSTRONG 《Australian veterinary journal》1998,76(10):694-697

Objective To determine the amounts of organophosphorous and synthetic pyrethroid residues on Queensland wool sampled between 1995 and 1997, and to study if pesticide use changed during the period.
Design Estimated amounts of residues were obtained from a survey of Queensland wool clips, and information on pesticide use was obtained from a trace-back postal survey of flock managers.
Procedure Trends in amounts of residues over time were assessed using analysis of variance and simple linear regression models, and changes in pesticide use was assessed using x² tests.
Results Significant linear reductions in organophosphorous (P = 0.0012), synthetic pyrethroid (P = 0.0044) and total (P = 0.0002) residues were detected. The proportion of woolgrowers treating for louse infestation (P = 0.0046) treating twice or more (P = 0.0006) and treating more than 4 months after shearing (P = 0.0001) decreased between 1994 and 1997. However, the proportion of growers who treated for blowfly strike (P = 0.0124) and used insect growth regulator pesticides increased (P < 0.0001). The use of handjetting to apply pesticides for blowfly strike control increased and the use of dips decreased (P < 0.0001).
Conclusion Residues of organophosphorous compounds and synthetic pyrethroids reduced in Queensland wool between 1994 and 1997. Although woolgrowers treated for louse infestation less, pesticide use to control blowfly strike increased. The increasing use of insect growth regulators in the industry needs to be monitored.  相似文献
