Traumatic neuroma at the tail of the pancreas following splenectomy.
A 50 year old man presented with abdominal pain and weight loss after a splenectomy performed 26 years ago for abdominal trauma. At laparotomy, a mass was found at the tail of the pancreas. Pathological examination showed this was a traumatic neuroma and revealed evidence of chronic pancreatitis. Traumatic neuroma may be a rare cause of a pancreatic mass, especially after previous surgery or tr...
متن کاملEffects of tail docking and docking length on neuroanatomical changes in healed tail tips of pigs.
In pig production, piglets are tail docked at birth in order to prevent tail biting later in life. In order to examine the effects of tail docking and docking length on the formation of neuromas, we used 65 pigs and the following four treatments: intact tails (n=18); leaving 75% (n=17); leaving 50% (n=19); or leaving 25% (n=11) of the tail length on the pigs. The piglets were docked between day...
متن کاملIndividual piglets' contribution to the development of tail biting.
Conflicting hypotheses exist about the contribution of individual pigs to the development of a tail-biting outbreak, but there is limited quantitative information to support or dismiss them. This study aims to quantify the development of tail-biting behaviour at pen and individual piglet level, before and after the first visible tail damage. Video recordings of 14 pens with tail-biting outbreak...
متن کاملImpact of Transmammary-Delivered Meloxicam on Biomarkers of Pain and Distress in Piglets after Castration and Tail Docking
To investigate a novel route for providing analgesia to processed piglets via transmammary drug delivery, meloxicam was administered orally to sows after farrowing. The objectives of the study were to demonstrate meloxicam transfer from sows to piglets via milk and to describe the analgesic effects in piglets after processing through assessment of pain biomarkers and infrared thermography (IRT)...
متن کاملThe Assessment of Facial Expressions in Piglets Undergoing Tail Docking and Castration: Toward the Development of the Piglet Grimace Scale
Many piglets are exposed to potentially painful husbandry procedures within the first week of life, including tail docking and castration, without the provision of either anesthesia or analgesia. The assessment methods used to evaluate pain experienced by piglets are often affected by low specificity and practical limitations, prompting the investigation of alternative methodologies. The assess...
