COMPARISON OF THE ACCURACY OF POSITIONING DEVICES FOR RADIATION THERAPY OF CANINE AND FELINE HEAD TUMORS     

Hege  Kippenes  DVM  Patrick R.  Gavin  DVM  PhD  Ronald D.  Sande  DVM  MS  PhD  Dennis  Rogers  RT  Vaughn  Sweet  MS 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》2000,41(4):371-376

The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the repositioning accuracy of different positioning devices in order to determine their applicability for potential use in conformal radiation therapy for animals. Forty-four animals with spontaneous tumors of the head were included. The animals were divided into 3 groups determined according to the positioning device used. Group 1 animals were positioned using a thermoplastic mask. Group 2 animals were positioned using a head holder. Group 3 animals were positioned using the head holder and an inflatable pillow. The time of presentation determined which position device was used. Port films of the 44 patients were reviewed retrospectively, and the repositioning precision was recorded by measurements in three orthogonal planes. Groups 2 and 3 had significantly better repositioning accuracy (P < or = 0.05) compared to Group 1. The position variation was not significantly different (P < or = 0.05) between Groups 2 and 3 in the lateral and longitudinal direction. Group 3 had a median reposition variation of 0.5 to 1.0 mm, with a standard deviation of 1.0 to 1.5 mm.  相似文献

Administration of Thyroxine Affects the Morphometric Parameters and VEGF Expression in the Uterus and Placenta and the Uterine Vascularization but does Not Affect Reproductive Parameters in Gilts During Early Gestation     

CA Souza  NM Ocarino  JF Silva  JN Boeloni  EF Nascimento  IJ Silva  RD Castro  LP Moreira  FRCL Almeida  H Chiarini‐Garcia  R Serakides 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2011,46(1):e7-e16

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of thyroxine administration on morphometric parameters, expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vascularization in the uterus and placenta and reproductive parameters in gilts at 70 days of gestation. At 150 days of age, i.e., before first heat, 20 gilts were randomly divided into two experimental groups: treated (n = 10) and control (n = 10). The treated group received a daily dose of 400 μg of l ‐thyroxine (T₄) in their diet until slaughter and the control group received only typical meals. Before artificial insemination, blood was collected to determine plasma total T₄. The gilts were inseminated in the second oestrus and slaughtered at 70 days of gestation. The foetal thyroid follicular epithelium height, number, size and weight of foetuses; foetal myogenesis, corpora lutea number, embryonic mortality rate, uterine weight, placental weight and placental fluid volume were measured. Histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analysis of uterus and placenta were determined. The averages of all variables were compared by the Student’s t‐test. The gilts treated with thyroxine showed significant increase of plasma total T₄. At 70 days of gestation, the heights of the trophoblastic epithelium, endometrial epithelium and endometrial gland epithelium were significantly higher in the group treated with T₄. The expression of cytoplasmatic and nuclear VEGF in trophoblastic cells and the number of blood vessels per field in endometrial stroma were significantly higher in the gilts treated with T₄. No other significant differences between groups were obtained with respect to other parameters (p > 0.05). We conclude that oral administration of T₄ up to 70 days of pregnancy in gilts affects the morphometric parameters, the expression of placental VEGF and the uterine vascularization but does not affect reproductive parameters in gilts during early gestation.  相似文献   

Congenital polycystic kidney disease in lambs     

AC Johnstone  BI Davidson  AR Roe  MR Eccles  RD Jolly 《New Zealand veterinary journal》2013,61(5):307-314

AIM: To describe the pathology and inheritance of a congenital polycystic kidney disease (PKD) of sheep.

METHODS: Mode of inheritance of PKD was investigated by evaluation of results of the disorder from planned matings in two consecutive years within subsets of a flock that had a high prevalence of PKD in lambs. Gross pathological and histopath- ological studies were based on tissues derived from this study. Haematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained paraffin sections of kidney, liver, extrahepatic biliary and pancreatic ducts, pancreas and epididymis were used to describe the lesions.

RESULTS: Twenty-five lambs affected by PKD, of both sexes, were born, numbers in accord with those expected for an autosomal recessive disorder in the population studied. In all cases for which tissues were available, the renal, bile ductal (intrahepatic and extrahepatic), pancreatic and epididymal tissues had widespread dysplastic changes and associated cyst formation.

CONCLUSIONS: The findings of renal cysts in conjunction with cysts in other organs are unifying features in many of the human and animal forms of PKD and suggest a related pathogenic and genetic base consistent with an autosomal recessive disorder.  相似文献

Esophageal obstruction by antibiotic boluses in a thoroughbred filly: A case report     

R.M. DeBowes DVM  B.D. Grant DVM  MS  R.D. Sande DVM  PhD 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》1982,2(1):23-26

A case of equine midcervical esophageal obstruction by medicinal boluses is described. A discussion of the physical and endoscopic examination is included. Attempts at medical and manipulative therapy including massage, intraesophageal probing and endoscopically assisted efforts to snare the obstruction were nonrewarding. A standing midcervical esophagotomy was performed to facilitate the removal of the entrapped boluses. A positive contrast esophagram obtained five days after surgery indicated an absence of leakage of contrast media from the lumen of the esophagus. The filly was returned to athletic competition at seven days following surgery. No evidence of dysphagia or esophageal obstruction was reported six months following surgery. In this particular case, a standing midcervical esophagotomy afforded a successful alternative when manipulative and medical therapy proved inadequate.  相似文献   

Comparative cardiovascular, analgesic, and sedative effects of medetomidine, medetomidine–hydromorphone, and medetomidine–butorphanol in dogs     

WC Kuo  RD  Keegan 《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》2003,30(2):99-100

The purpose of this study was to determine the cardiovascular, analgesic, and sedative effects of IV medetomidine (M, 20 µg kg^?1), medetomidine–hydromorphone (MH, 20 µg kg^?1 ? 0.1 mg kg^?1), and medetomidine–butorphanol (MB, 20 µg kg^?1 ? 0.2 mg kg^?1) in dogs. Using a randomized cross‐over design and allowing 1 week between treatments, six healthy, mixed‐breed dogs (five males and one female) weighing 20 ± 3 kg, were induced to anesthesia by face‐mask administration of 2.9% ET sevoflurane to facilitate instrumentation prior to administration of the treatment combinations. Dogs were intubated and instrumented to enable measurement of heart rate (HR), systolic arterial pressure (SAP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), diastolic arterial pressure (DAP), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), pulmonary arterial occlusion pressure (PAOP), central venous pressure (CVP), pulmonary arterial temperature (TEMP), and cardiac output via thermodilution using 5 mL of 5% dextrose, and recording the average of the three replicate measurements. Cardiac index (CI) and systemic (SVR) and pulmonary vascular resistances were calculated. After instrumentation was completed, administration of sevoflurane was discontinued, and the dogs were allowed to recover for 30 minutes prior to administration of the treatment drugs. After collection of the baseline samples for blood gas analysis and recording the baseline cardiovascular variables, the test agents were administered IV over 10 seconds and the CV variables recorded at 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes post‐injection. In addition, arterial blood was sampled for blood gas analysis at 15 and 45 minutes following injection. Intensity and duration of analgesia (assessed by toe‐pinch response using a hemostat) and level of sedation were evaluated at the above time points and at 75 and 90 minutes post‐injection. Data were analyzed using anova for repeated measures with posthoc differences between means identified using Bonferroni's method (p < 0.05). Administration of M, MH, or MB was associated with increases in SAP, MAP, DAP, PAP, PAOP, CVP, SVR, and TEMP and with decreases in HR and CI. No differences in CV variables between treatment groups were identified at any time. PaO₂ increased over time in all groups and was significantly higher when MH was compared with M. At 45 minutes, PaO₂ tended to decrease over time and was significantly lower when MH and MB were compared with M at 15 minutes. Analgesia scores for MH and MB were significantly higher compared with M through 45 minutes, while analgesia scores for MH were significantly higher compared with M through 90 minutes. Sedation scores were higher for MH and MB compared with M throughout 90 minutes. Durations of lateral recumbency were 108 ± 10.8, 172 ± 15.5, and 145 ± 9.9 minutes for M, MH, and MB, respectively. We conclude that MH and MB are associated with improved analgesia and sedation and have similar CV effects when compared with M.  相似文献
