Observations on a heifer with cutaneous lymphosarcoma

Observations on anodal polarization of cutaneous nerve.

The selective blocking of large-diameter peripheral nerve fibers by anodal polarization provides a potentially useful technique for studying, in isolation, the central effects of smaller-diameter afferents 4. Unlike the earlier techniques for blocking larger fibers, anodal polarization holds the promise of being selective, reversible, and more easily controlled. In the studies using this method...

Cholecystectomy in a heifer

A 10-month-old female Japanese black heifer presenting with sudden loss of appetite was diagnosed with extreme extension of the gallbladder. Laparotomy reaching from the right part of the 10th rib to the right flank showed an extended gallbladder greater than 50 cm in diameter. Cholecystectomy was performed as follows: 1) complete removal of the gallbladder distally from the base; 2) flushing v...

Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia with Lymphosarcoma.

The clinical and pathological features of two patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia who died from lymphosarcoma are described. Both had been treated with busulphan which, at the time of development of lymphosarcoma and at death, appeared to be controlling the leukaemia satisfactorily.

Intersexuality in a Charolais heifer.

Uveal lymphosarcoma.

LYMPHOMATOUS tumours involving the lids and orbit have been recognized and repeatedly reported in the literature for many years; intra-ocular involvement on the contrary is rare if the lymphomatous infiltrations associated with lymphatic leukaemia are excluded. Kukain (1935) and Triebenstein (1920) have each described a case of uveal lymphosarcoma complicated by secondary glaucoma, and other is...
