BACKGROUND Venous air embolism is a potentially life-threatening complication of IV catheter use in horses. Despite widespread anecdotal reports of their occurrence, few cases have been reported in the literature and the prognosis is currently unknown. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES Our objective was to describe the surrounding circumstances, clinical signs, treatment, progression, and outcome of veno...

The two cases which form the subject of this paper presented clinical signs of a subacute degenerative process affecting the cerebral cortex. The mechanism of the pathological changes is obscure but we have, for reasons which will be discussed, formed the opinion that vascular insufficiency is the important factor in their causation. The patients presented clinical features which were on the wh...

The objective of this study was to examine the clinical findings, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), pathological features, and treatment experiments of patients with hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis (HCP). The clinical findings, MRI, and pathological appearances of 9 patients with HCP were analyzed retrospectively. The thickened dura mater was markedly enhanced after contrast media injectio...

Fluoroacetate was dosed per stomach tube to 17 Merino sheep at the rate of 0,05-1,0 mg/kg/day. The clinical signs, haemodynamic changes, chemical pathology and pathology of acute, subacute and chronically intoxicated cases are described. Tetanic convulsions were seen in acutely intoxicated animals and in them respiratory failure, occurring concomitantly with cardiac failure, may have been the c...

Borna disease virus (BDV) is a RNA-virus causing neurological disorders in a wide range of mammals. In cats, BDV infection may cause staggering disease. Presently, staggering disease is a tentative clinical diagnosis, only confirmed at necropsy. In this study, cats with staggering disease were investigated to study markers of BDV infection aiming for improvement of current diagnostics. Nineteen...

We performed clinico-pathological evaluations of 11 wild Agassiz's desert tortoises (Gopherus agassizii) from a translocation project in the central Mojave Desert, California, USA. Group 1 consisted of nine tortoises that were selected primarily due to serologic status, indicating exposure to Mycoplasma testudineum (seven) or both M. agassizii and M. testudineum (two), and secondarily due to cl...

This study investigated an adenovirus infection in two consecutive breeding flocks the same poultry hall. Thirty-six thousand one-day-old chickens of ROSS 308 hybrid broiler type were kept together one The first flock during fattening did not show any clinical signs disease or increased mortality. Typical seen second flock. included: depression, apathy, somnolence, a crouched position with droo...

ABSTRACT: Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient to reproduction, development, normal growth, and function of the nervous system vision, especially in growing animals. Hypovitaminosis can affect any these functions. The aim this study was describe epidemiology, clinical signs, pathological aspects, diagnostic approach outbreak blindness feedlot calves fed only grain. Five 57 ten-month-old beca...
