Surgical management of postamputation orthopedic disease (PAOD) in canine amputees has rarely been documented, and no reports describing outcome of stifle surgery in canine amputees are available. The objective of this multisite retrospective case series was to describe cases and evaluate satisfaction with and outcome of postamputation orthopedic surgery in canine amputees. Data was obtained through medical records and owner survey responses; data included signalment, amputation cause, diagnosis, surgical treatment, timeframes, and outcome assessment. Outcome was categorized as acceptable or unacceptable, and complications were classified as catastrophic, major, or minor. Eleven thoracic limb amputees and 6 pelvic limb amputees with surgically treated PAOD were identified. Surgically treated PAOD was reported at a median of 9.7 months (range 0.5-110 months) after amputation. All 17 amputees were treated for pelvic limb disease, predominantly for cranial cruciate ligament disease that occurred in 11 of 17 dogs. Major complications following orthopedic surgeries performed in 3 thoracic limb amputees consisted of infection (n?=?2) and uncontrolled pain (n?=?1). No major complications were reported following orthopedic surgeries performed in pelvic limb amputees. Acceptable mid-to-long-term outcome was achieved in 16 of the 17 canine amputees. Surgical treatment of pelvic limb disease did not appear to be associated with a high number of major complications in this case series. These findings suggest that orthopedic surgery, specifically stifle surgery, in canine amputees might be considered a feasible treatment option. Although there are inherent methodological limitations of retrospective studies and owner surveys, our case series provides new information that might help guide surgical treatment decisions in canine amputees suffering from orthopedic disease. Prospective studies using objective outcome measures evaluating surgical management of PAOD are necessary to confirm the provided information.  相似文献

User-Accessed AGRICOLA Made Available to a Branch Campus Agriculture Program via the INTERNET and FirstSearch     

《Journal Of Agricultural & Food Information》2013,14(3):83-87

ABSTRACT

In September 1992 Washington State University at Tri-Cities became one of the nation's first subscribers to OCLC's FirstSearch in order to make user-accessed AGRICOLA and its other automated indexing services available free of charge to everyone on the Ethernet, the branch campus computer network, with its telnet access to the Internet. Arrival of user-accessed AGRICOLA at WSU Tri-Cities was timely due to the addition of a new bachelor of science degree program in the integrated cropping systems typical of the surrounding Columbia Basin arid lands region; the opening of a Food and Environmental Quality Laboratory to monitor local use of pesticides and other substances; the presence on campus of the Cooperative Extension Services District Office, covering eleven counties in the area; and close links with the WSU Agriculture Research and Extension Center at nearby Prosser.  相似文献

Prediction of winter wheat cultivar performance in Germany: At national,regional and location scale     

《European Journal of Agronomy》2014

Winter wheat cultivar recommendation is usually based on the cultivar performance observed in post-registration trials. In Germany, official recommendations are based on state cultivar trials, which are conducted individually by the federal states, usually over a period of three years. In each predefined winter wheat cultivation region a subset of registered cultivars is tested. The recommendation in a particular region is mainly based on the yields from trials on several locations in this region. Practically, the farmer's interest is a prediction of the yielding ability of cultivars on his own farm in the following growing season. This prediction can be made based on data from different scales, and with one year or multiple-year data. Here, we evaluated the prediction ability with the data from national, regional and location scales per se, and tried to find the optimal information source (scale and number of years) to predict the relative yield of a specific cultivar for a specific location. For this purpose, data from the country wide value testing trials from 1991 to 2001 carried out by the Federal Office of Plant Varieties (Bundessortenamt) were used. Winter wheat cultivation regions were adopted according to the German convention which gives the chance of further dividing the data into regional subgroups. The results of the analyses indicate that for a given location, the two years regional data have the highest predictive power for superior cultivars. Two years’ data from that specific location give the highest predictive power for intermediate and inferior cultivars. In general, the predictive power of single year data is much lower than of two years data. The results confirm the merit of the definition of different cultivation regions. By proper definition of regions, the multiple year data collected within the region have high predictive power for the cultivar performance for the locations within that region.  相似文献

Combination of cacao with other plantation crops: an agroforestry system in Southeast Bahia,Brazil     

Ronald Alvim  P. K. R. Nair 《Agroforestry Systems》1986,4(1):3-15

Brazil accounts for about 20% of the world production of cocoa, and about 95% of cocoa produced in Brazil is from the southeastern part of Bahia State. Traditionally, cacao is grown in monoculture (though under the shade of various other species). But various crop combinations involving cacao have recently been undertaken by the farmers with encouragement from Brazilian government.As a part of the crop diversification programme in the traditional cacao growing areas and their surroundings, extensive areas are being planted to other plantation crops, mainly clove and rubber and, to some extent, coconut too. Crop combinations have been adopted in some of these new plantings and cacao is an important component of most of such combinations. Whereas several other crops are combined with clove trees, cacao is usually the only species grown with mature rubber trees. Young rubber trees are, however, interplanted with a number of other species. Productive coconut areas are found mostly in sandy soils along the coast so that there is little intercropping. However, scattered farms are found where coconuts are underplanted with guarana, black pepper, cacao, cashew, etc. as done commonly in other parts of Northeast Brazil.  相似文献
