ULTRASOUND-GUIDED FINE-NEEDLE ASPIRATION     

Marc  Papageorges  DMV  MSc  Patrick R.  Gavin  DVM  PhD  Ronald D.  Sande  DVM  PhD  David D.  Barbee  DVM  MS 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》1988,29(6):269-271

A simple and inexpensive modification of the ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy technique using an extension tube attached to the needle is described. One operator can easily manipulate the ultrasound transducer and biopsy needle while monitoring the entire procedure. This simple modification was found to facilitate ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration.  相似文献   

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING OF THE EQUINE FOOT   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of magnetic resonance imaging to depict abnormalities of the equine foot. MRI was performed on isolated limbs which had lesions of the foot. These images were made in 3 perpendicular planes (sagittal, transverse and frontal) using a T1 weighted sequence and were 5mm thick. Images accurately depicted normal and pathologic structures in the foot and proved to be very precise for documenting degenerative joint disease, navicular disease and laminitis lesions. This preliminary study demonstrates the considerable potential of MRI in the diagnosis of locomotor problems in the horse.  相似文献

Enio Mori DVM  MSc  Wilson R. Fernandes DVM  PhD  Regina M. S. Mirandola BSc  MSc  Guilherme Kubo DVM  Renaide R. Ferreira BSc  Jose V. Oliveira DVM  Francisco Gacek DVM  PhD 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》2003,23(8):358-364

Seventeen serum biochemical variables were determined in 40 donkeys of the Brazilian breed (34 females and 6 males) aged from 3 to 19 years. Mean ± standard deviation (SD) (minimum–maximum) values, obtained by automated analysis, were as follows: glucose, 58.35 ± 10.40 (44.00–90.00) mg/dL; cholesterol, 88.41 ± 9.86 (73.58–124.26) mg/dL; serum protein, 6.82 ± 0.40 (6.00–7.52) g/dL; albumin, 3.13 ± 0.21 (2.65–3.69) g/dL; creatinine, 1.80 ± 0.14 (1.51–2.19) mg/dL; urea, 24.25 ± 5.37 (14.12–34.39) mg/dL; lactate, 20.10 ± 4.58 (12.99–33.47) mg/dL; aspartate aminotransferase (AST), 295.81 ± 62.79 (173.71–466.07) IU/L; creatine kinase (CK), 158.00 ± 76.94 (51.69–440.33) IU/L; γ-glutamil-transferase (GGT), 45.82 ± 13.34 (26.17–86.38) IU/L; lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), 576.02 ± 156.32 (213.53–1162.81) IU/L; alkaline phosphatase (AP), 345.36 ± 65.90 (227.25–490.16) IU/L; calcium (Ca), 8.54 ± 0.18 (8.19–8.90) mg/dL; phosphorus (P), 2.76 ± 0.38 (1.99–3.97) mg/dL; chloride (Cl), 106.05 ± 3.20 (99.00–112.00) mEq/L; sodium (Na), 121.50 ± 4.14 (116.00–132.00) mEq/L; and potassium (K), 3.70 ± 0.42 (2.80–4.40) mEq/L. Comparisons of biochemical ranges obtained for the Brazilian donkey breed with reference ranges for other donkey breeds suggested that most values were similar. Biochemical values determined in the present study serve as reference ranges for donkey populations and can be used for health control and diagnosis of diseases.  相似文献   

Lameness in three-year-old standardbred trotters —Influence of parameters determined before three years of age     

G. Gaustad DVM  PhD  P. Kjrsgaard MSc  N.I. Dolvik DVM  PhD 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》1996,16(9):384-389

The aim of the study was to use available information about a group of Standardbred trotters collected during the first three years of life to predict the risk of lameness in these horses when they reach three years of age. In a previous study on the same population, a sire index defined as the frequency of lameness within each progeny group and presence of radiographic changes other than palmar/plantar bony fragments in the metacarpo- and metatarsophalangeal joints, were found to be significant predictors of the likelihood of developing lameness. The additional variables used in the present study were training and feeding of the horses, information that was collected retrospectively up to the time of clinical examination.A total of 265 three-year-old Standardbred trotters were randomly sampled for an epidemiological study of lameness. Eighty horses were classified as sound and 185 horses as lame, with moderate and severe signs in 138 and 47 horses, respectively. The sire index was found to be significant for predicting lameness (P<0.01), the risk of lameness increasing approximately 2.0 times for every 10% increase in sire index. Training and dietary parameters did not influence the risk of lameness significantly.  相似文献   

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Clinical and Pathologic Correlates     

Philip R. Fox DVM  MSc  Dipl. ACVIM  ECVIM-CA  ACVECC 《Journal of Veterinary Cardiology》2003,5(2):39-45

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a primary myocardial disease with a wide range of clinical and morphologic characteristics. It is characterized by increased cardiac mass associated with a non-dilated, hypertrophied left ventricle. Phenotypic variability is substantial and includes both diffuse and segmental forms of left ventricular hypertrophy. Histopathologic features consist of myofiber disorganization, intramural arteriosclerosis, and pathologic fibrosis and matrix connective tissue. Associated functional derangements include dynamic obstruction to left and right ventricular outflow and diastolic dysfunction, including heart failure.  相似文献

Acute polyneuromyopathy with respiratory failure secondary to monensin intoxication in a dog          下载免费PDF全文

Luis Bosch LV  MSc  Alexa M. Bersenas DVM  MSc  DACVECC  Shane Bateman DVM  DVSc  DACVECC 《Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care》2018,28(1):62-68

Objective

To describe a successfully managed case of polyneuropathy and respiratory failure secondary to presumed monensin intoxication.

Case Summary

A 9‐month‐old Australian Shepherd was evaluated for progressive generalized weakness and respiratory distress. Several days preceding presentation, the dog was seen playing with a monensin capsule, and had free access to a barn where the product was stored and where chewed capsules were subsequently found. The dog was presented with flaccid tetraparesis, hyperthermia, and severe respiratory distress. Bloodwork and urinalysis revealed marked increase in serum creatine kinase concentration and presumed myoglobinuria. Cardiac troponin I level was markedly increased. Management included mechanical ventilation for 5 days, fluid‐therapy, active cooling, antimicrobial therapy, analgesia, gastroprotectants, antiemetics, enteral feedings, continuous nursing care, and physiotherapy. Intravenous lipid rescue therapy was administered with lack of improvement in respiratory function and muscle strength. The patient completely recovered and was discharged after 12 days of hospitalization.

New or Unique Information Provided

Monensin intoxication should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute polyneuromyopathy and respiratory failure in dogs with access to this compound. Respiratory failure secondary to monensin intoxication does not necessarily carry a poor prognosis if mechanical ventilation can be provided as a bridge until return of respiratory function is achieved.  相似文献
