Two cats were presented to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Mannuthy with a complaint of rectal prolapse from the past two days. The animals weak and emaciated. A small sausage shaped structure could be palpated on abdominal palpation, animal exhibited pain palpation. Due oedema prolapsed mass, it not reduced normal position. ultrasonographic examination abdomen produced target sign sugges...

during a period of one year, reproductive status of twenty one healthy maiden and parous turkaman cross bred mares were studied during breeding and non breeding seasons the reproductive health and fertility of the mares ranging 3 -13 years of age were confirmed by taking history, performing rectal palpation and studying endometrial culture, cytology and histology. stages of the oestrous cycles ...

In this paper we investigated a novel tactile sensation imaging method using a flexible, transparent waveguide and the total internal reflection principle. The developed sensor is used to detect and identify inclusions within tissues. To test the performance of the proposed sensor, a realistic tissue phantom with hard inclusions (tumor models) is developed. The proposed tactile imaging sensor e...

We studied tactile perception in palpation of the precordium to determine the frequency response of the hand and to improve, if possible, the sensitivity of the hand as a transducer for precordial movement. The threshold of tactile sensation was determined for 10 subjects by manipulating the amplitude of movement of an impulse generator at each of a series of frequency settings in the subaudibl...

UNLABELLED Thyrotoxicosis is an under-recognised but clinically important complication of parathyroidectomy. We report a case of a 37-year-old man with tertiary hyperparathyroidism who initially developed unexplained anxiety, diaphoresis, tachycardia, tremor and hyperreflexia one day after subtotal parathyroidectomy. Thyroid biochemistry revealed suppressed thyroid stimulating hormone and eleva...
