Management of 60 cases of diaphragmatic rupture     

M. Sullivan  J. Reid 《The Journal of small animal practice》1990,31(9):425-430

Sixty cases of diaphragmatic rupture in the dog and cat were reviewed. There was a 90 per cent success rate following surgical repair. There were six deaths; two of these resulted from pulmonary collapse and hydrothorax, two cats from pulmonary oedema, one cat with cardiac arrest and one due to hepatic necrosis. In none of the deaths was the presence or absence of chest drains implicated. Apart from cases of gastric dilation, all animals benefited from 12 to 24 hours cage rest and stabilisation before surgery. Simple anaesthetic and surgical guidelines for the management of diaphragmatic rupture are described.  相似文献

Effects of anabolic steroids on liver cell ultrastructure in sheep.     

I M Reid  I A Donaldson  R J Heitzman 《Veterinary pathology》1978,15(6):753-762

Castrated male sheep were sham inplanted or implanted with estradiol, trenbolone acetate or trenbolone acetate in combination with estradiol, and slaughtered after 56 days. Ultrastructural and morphometric examination of the livers of steroid-treated sheep showed an increase in the volume density of the cell occupied by rough endoplasmic reticulum and microbodies. In four of the eight sheep treated with trenbolone acetate, either alone or in combination with estradiol, enlarged mitochondria with crystalline inclusions were seen. The increase in hepatic rough endoplasmic reticulum may be of benefit to the sheep whereas the mitochondrial changes after anabolic steroid use indicate a cellular lesion of unknown significance for health.  相似文献   

Virus infections in cattle and sheep in Scotland 1975-1978     

D R Snodgrass  J A Herring  H W Reid  F M Scott  E W Gray 《The Veterinary record》1980,106(9):193-194

Over the four-year period 1975-78 attempts were made to identify virus in samples from 1231 outbreaks of disease in cattle, and 682 outbreaks of disease in sheep. A virus identification was possible in 26 per cent of these disease outbreaks. The nature and significance of these virus infections is discussed.  相似文献   

Identification of the ethylene precursor, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), in pollen     

Charles S. Whitehead  David W. Fujino  Michael S. Reid 《Scientia Horticulturae》1983,21(3):291-297

Within 15 min after application of pollen to the stigma of carnation flowers (Dianthus caryophyllus L. cultivar ‘White Sim’), ethylene (C₂H₄) production by the gynoecium had increased substantially. Pollen germination did not start until 1 h after pollination. Analysis of materials removed from pollen by a brief rinse with an aqueous solvent showed the presence of high concentrations of the C₂H₄ precursor, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). This compound, which was found to be present in pollen from a number of flower species and which increased in concentration as the anthers developed, may be an important mediator of the early response of flowers to pollination.  相似文献   

Nitrogenous constituents in plasma of foals weaned at three, four or six months of age     

S.H. Jarrett MS  W.A. Schurg PhD  MS  B.L. Reid PhD  MS  K.H. Mckeever PhD  MS 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》1986,6(2)

A study was conducted to measure the nitrogenous constituents in the blood of foals weaned at 3, 4 or 6 months of age (four foals per weaning age).Jugular blood was sampled from one week prior to weaning until one month post-weaning, and was analyzed for total protein, albumin, creatinine, urea Nitrogen and free amino acid content. Results indicated that the concentrations of most of the constituents in the blood of foals were not altered by the age of weaning, however, free amino acids decreased as age at weaning increased and creatinine was significantly higher in foals weaned at 6 months of age. Plasma creatinine, lysine and methionine levels generally decreased between pre-weaning and one month post-weaning. These data establish baseline values for blood nitrogenous constituents in foals at weaning.  相似文献

Effects of varying zinc concentrations on quality of alfalfa for lambs     

R L Reid  G A Jung  W L Stout  T S Ranney 《Journal of animal science》1987,64(6):1735-1742

Zinc concentrations in alfalfa hay were varied using a N-Zn liquid fertilizer as a foliar applicant (.34 or .68 kg Zn/ha) or as a soil fertilizer (4.07 kg Zn/ha). Mean concentrations of Zn across five cuttings of alfalfa in 2 yr were 18, 27, 41 and 21 mg Zn/kg DM for control, low foliar, high foliar and soil treatments, respectively. Each treatment was fed in ad libitum amounts to eight crossbred wether lambs (20 to 35 kg) in 6-wk growth and intake trials, followed by 2-wk digestibility and balance trials with individual lambs. For one cutting, hays were also fed in an 81-d trial to four ram lambs (30 to 35 kg) and live weight gain and testicular development were measured. Average daily gain (ADG) and intake over 6 wk differed (P less than .01) with cutting but not with Zn treatment. Average daily gain and testes weight of ram lambs also were not affected by treatment. In the metabolism trials, Zn treatment did not alter (P greater than .05) intake or dry matter digestibility (DMD) of alfalfa, but did influence digestibility of neutral detergent fiber (NDF). Digestible NDF (%) was higher (P less than .05) for high foliar than for low foliar treatments. Apparent absorption and retention of Zn was significantly greater for control than for Zn-treated alfalfas and did not differ with cutting. Mean serum Zn concentrations for control, low and high foliar, and soil treatments were .79, .81, .78 and .75 micrograms Zn/ml, respectively, for all cuttings, with no differences due to treatment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献   

Cardiac glycoside poisoning in sheep caused by Urginea physodes (Jacq.) Bak. and the isolated physodine A     

P W Nel  R A Schultz  P Jordaan  L A Anderson  T S Kellerman  C Reid 《The Onderstepoort journal of veterinary research》1987,54(4):641-644

Urginea physodes (Jacq.) Bak., a species closely related to or possibly synonymous with U. pusilla, is described and its distribution given. Four bufadienolides were isolated from U. physodes and the approximated LD50 and cumulative effect of some of them determined in guinea pigs. The most toxic one proved to be mildly cumulative. Typical signs of acute cardiac glycoside poisoning, involving the locomotory, gastro-intestinal, respiratory and cardiac system, were seen in the field cases and/or were experimentally induced by the plant. Similar signs could also be induced by injecting the isolated bufadienolide, physodine A, to a sheep.  相似文献   

Antibody to alcelaphine herpesvirus-1 (AHV-1) in hamsters experimentally infected with AHV-1 and the 'sheep-associated' agent of malignant catarrhal fever   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

H W Reid  I Pow  D Buxton 《Research in veterinary science》1989,47(3):383-386

Malignant catarrhal fever was induced in four groups of hamsters by the inoculation of cells infected with either the C/500 isolate of alcelaphine herpes-virus-1 (AHV-1) or the sheep-associated agent derived from cattle, red deer or Père David's deer. Using an indirect immunofluorescence assay, antibody to AHV-1 was detected in sera of clinically affected animals of all four groups. The reaction of sera from hamsters affected with malignant catarrhal fever induced by AHV-1 caused diffuse cytoplasmic staining while that from sera of hamsters with the sheep-associated form of the disease stained particulate nuclear antigens. Tests employing three other bovid herpesviruses were negative and no reaction was found with sera from normal hamsters. These studies provide convincing evidence that a virus antigenically related to AHV-1 is the cause of sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever and that the same virus probably causes this form of the disease in both cattle and deer.  相似文献
