Objective

To describe the use of small-bore wire-guided catheters in the management of peritoneal effusion in cats and dogs and to detail any associated adverse events.

Design

Retrospective study.

Setting

University teaching hospital

Animals

Forty-five client-owned animals that had peritoneal catheters placed for management of peritoneal effusion between July 2010 and June 2021.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and Main Results

Forty-five cases were included (25 dogs and 20 cats). Twenty-eight animals had the catheter placed to aid management of a uroabdomen, 8 of which recovered without surgical management, 11 had the catheter placed to allow autotransfusion of hemoabdomen, 3 had peritonitis, and 3 had ascites secondary to cardiac disease. Twenty-seven cases (15 dogs and 12 cats) received sedation (n = 24) or local anesthesia alone (n = 3) to facilitate catheter placement, and 6 cases had the catheter placed while under general anesthesia. Median length of catheter persistence was 24 hours (range: 2–144 h). The most common adverse events reported were impaired drainage (n = 7) and leakage at the insertion site (n = 4).

Conclusions

Peritoneal catheters can be inserted percutaneously for management of peritoneal effusion. Indications include stabilization and conservative management of uroabdomen, and autotransfusion. They can often be placed with minimal or no sedation and adverse events appear infrequent in occurrence.  相似文献

Congenital arthrogryposis: an inherited limb deformity in pedigree Suffolk lambs     

Doherty ML  Kelley EP  Healy AM  Callanan JJ  Crosby TF  Skelly C  Boland MP 《The Veterinary record》2000,146(26):748-753

Thirty of 52 pedigree Suffolk lambs (58 per cent) were born with arthrogryposis characterised by bilateral flexion rigidity of the metacarpophalangeal and carpal joints. The recent introduction of a breeding ram was identified as the only significant risk factor in the flock, and embryo transfer was used to test the hypothesis that the arthrogryposis was an inherited disorder associated with the introduction of this ram. Two adult ewes that had previously produced lambs with arthrogryposis by the ram and four of its affected daughters were available as donors, and 20 crossbred ewes were used as recipients. Ten Suffolk-crossed ewes that had no known familial relationship with the ram were also mated by the ram as controls and they produced 10 normal lambs. Following embryo transfer, 19 lambs were born, of which seven were stillborn; arthrogryposis was evident in 10 of the 12 live lambs. Analysis of the data suggested that in the population under study, arthrogryposis was inherited as an autosomal recessive condition.  相似文献   

The effects of plastic slatted floor or straw bedding on performance, liver weight and liver copper concentrations in intensively reared lambs     

J.P. Day  T.M. Boland  T.F. Crosby   《Livestock Science》2006,100(2-3):270-275

One hundred and eight Texel sired lambs were weaned at 37 days old and allocated three days later to one of two treatments, using two pens per treatment, in order to evaluate lamb hepatic copper (Cu) values. In Treatment 1 (T1) the lambs were confined to pens having recycled plastic slatted flooring, while in Treatment 2 (T2) the lambs were confined to pens having straw bedded floors, with fresh straw added on alternate days. The lambs had ad libitum access to a coarse lamb concentrate. The crude protein (g/kg DM), crude fibre (g/kg DM), total zinc (mg/kg) and background levels of copper (Cu) (mg/kg) and molybdenum (Mo) (mg/kg) of the diet were 17.2, 10.9, 152, 9.7 and 0.92, respectively. The lambs were slaughtered when they reached about 39 kg live weight. Following slaughter, the liver was removed and weighed and the caudal lobe frozen for subsequent Cu analysis. The livers of lambs on the plastic floor treatment had higher liver weights (843 vs. 804 g, S.E.M. 11.0; P < 0.05) and higher hepatic copper (396 vs. 315 mg/kg DM, S.E.M. 18.2; P < 0.05) than those from lambs that were bedded with straw. The Cu accumulation per kg of liver DM per week was estimated to be 8.4 and 13.7 mg for lambs on the straw bedding and plastic slated treatments, respectively. It is concluded that when lambs are housed on plastic slatted flooring, relative to straw bedding, there is a higher accumulation of hepatic copper levels likely to result in a greater risk of Cu toxicity when lambs are reared on all concentrate diets.  相似文献

Bone marrow histogenesis: a comparison of fatty and red marrow   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

M Tavassoli  W H Crosby 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1970,169(942):291-293

Histogenesis of fatty marrow in extramedullary sites was compared to histogenesis of the red marrow. Both tissues undergo a similar sequence of events leading to reconstruction of hemopoietic marrow nodules. Histogenesis of yellow marrow then continues; such implants become nodules of fatty marrow, whereas implants of red marrow remain hemopoietically active. This observation supports the concept that histogenesis of the bone marrow recapitulates the ontogeny of this organ and indicates an intrinsic difference between the stroma of red and yellow marrow.  相似文献

The role of sensitivity to abscisic acid and gibberellin in pre-maturity α-amylase formation in wheat grains     

K.R. Kondhare  P.S. Kettlewell  A.D. Farrell  P. Hedden  J.M. Monaghan 《Journal of Cereal Science》2013

To study the role of abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellin (GA) sensitivity in regulating pre-maturity α-amylase (PMA) in wheat grains, plants were grown in a glasshouse under cold-shock and ambient conditions. α-amylase activity in response to applied ABA and GA was measured in detached-grains with the embryo removed (in vitro) and in intact-grains attached to the plant (in situ). The in vitro experiment was conducted using Spark (low PMA-susceptible genotype) and Rialto (highly PMA-susceptible genotype), with the aim of defining the time point for GA-sensitivity. The results showed an increase in GA-sensitivity at about 640 degree days after anthesis (DAA) in Rialto. There was no evidence for a change in ABA-sensitivity in either variety. The in situ experiments were conducted using genotypes from a Spark × Rialto doubled haploid population segregating for the Rht-D1a (tall) or Rht-D1b allele and for the presence or absence of 1BS/1RS. For Rht-D1a (tall) or Rht-D1b genotypes with or without 1BS/1RS, the cold-shock significantly increased GA-sensitivity, whereas there was no significant change in ABA-sensitivity. These results show PMA is related to an increase in GA-sensitivity that occurs in the aleurone at around 640 degree DAA, and can be enhanced by environmental factors (e.g. cold-shock).  相似文献
