Aim: The study was undertaken to compare the clinical efficacy of lumbosacral spinal analgesia produced using bupivacaine, xylazine and buprenorphine with ketamine combination in buffalo calves Materials and Methods: 36 male buffalo calves of seven to eight months of age and weighing 60 to 75 kg were used to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lumbosacral spinal analgesia produced by bupivacain...

ABSTRACT: This report described the clinical and pathological aspects of open spina bifida diplomyelia along with multiple congenital malformations in a Texel lamb. Clinically, paresis thoracic limbs, paralysis pelvic limbs cutaneous opening lumbosacral region were observed. At necropsy, there was focally extensive disruption skin associated an absence dorsal portions vertebrae. Additionally, l...

BACKGROUND Degenerative lumbosacral stenosis is a common problem in large breed dogs. For severe degenerative lumbosacral stenosis, conservative treatment is often not effective and surgical intervention remains as the last treatment option. The objective of this retrospective study was to assess the middle to long term outcome of treatment of severe degenerative lumbosacral stenosis with pedic...

We investigated the effects of lumbosacral and pudendal nerve stimulation on the corticofugal pathways to the human external anal sphincter. In 11 healthy subjects, anal sphincter electromyographic responses, evoked to transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex, were recorded 5-500 ms after lumbosacral root or pudendal nerve stimulation. Lumbosacral and pudendal nerve stimulation alo...

The accumulation of cortisol in hair and claws, which grow slowly, makes it possible to retrospectively assess chronic stress levels. study involved 47 cats from a shelter for homeless animals. Hair the lumbosacral region dead part claws front paw were collected. average levels 0.85 ng/ml cats’ 4.56 claws. There was no significant relationship between To date, too little research has been done ...

The lumbosacral nerve roots and their relation to the lateral recess in the lumbar region were studied by computed tomography both in anatomic specimens from six cadavers and in vivo in 100 patients with or without disk herniation. The anatomic and tomodensitometric correlations are discussed. The normal morphology and contents of the lumbar spinal canal can be used as a guide to radiologic dia...

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the preoperative intervertebral interspace angle and postoperative trunk shift (TS) in patients who have received scoliosis correction. Anteroposterior (AP) whole spine standing radiographs and right and left lateral bending radiographs were taken preoperatively, and AP whole spine standing radiographs were obtained postope...

Low back pain and lumbar radiculopathy are among the most common painful disorders affecting the adult population. This study hypothesizes that there is good correlation between the diagnostic impression of an unblinded electromyographer, using clinical and electromyographic information, and an independent electromyographer, who uses the needle examination only to assess for lumbar radiculopath...

Development of the posterior body (lumbosacral region and tail) in vertebrates is delayed relative to gastrulation. In amniotes, it proceeds with the replacement of the regressed node and primitive streak by a caudal blastema-like mass of mesenchyme known as the tail bud. Despite apparent morphological dissimilarities, recent results suggest that tail development in amniotes is in essence a con...

7 ullivan and Ferrell, in their provocative and interesting article, raise several important and relevant issues and provide the treating physician with ethial guidelines and a new paradigm to address individuals ith chronic nonmalignant pain (CNMP). This informaion should be of particular benefit to primary care proiders, who are becoming the major caregivers for those ith CNMP. Although empha...
