RESULTS The most significant clinical findings were observed in naturally affected goats with pregnancy toxemia included anorexia, recumbency, let...

Objective: To determine the influence of oral fluid sampling methods on drug concentrations. Methods: Oral fluid was obtained from 249 subjects by Varian OraLab and Statsure Saliva•Sampler. The OraLab consists of foam-tipped oral fluid collector. The sponge contains a salt that stimulates salivation. The Saliva•Sampler consists of a collector with a blue indication when 1 mL of oral fluid is co...

In dogs anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium, hilar venous pressure (Phv) and secretion were measured from the submandibular gland receiving spontaneous blood flow or vascular perfusion at the normal resting flow rate. Parasympathetic nerve stimulation and ACh-induced secretion increased Phv and its pulse pressure; Phv also showed an obvious arterial (or perfusion pressure)-like waveform. Vas...

Salivary secretions play critical roles in aphid-host plant interactions and are responsible for damage associated with aphid feeding. The objectives of this study were to evaluate aspects of salivation and the salivary constituents of Diuraphis noxia (Hemiptera: Aphididae). Salivary proteins were isolated and compared from three aphid probed diets: pure water, 15% sucrose, or amino acids (100 ...

We report the case of a girl admitted to the emergency room with a history of four hours' acute illness, characterized by nausea, vomiting, salivation, headache, blurred vision, and acidotic "Kussmaul" breathing. Arterial blood gases showed severe mixed acidosis, metabolic and respiratory with high anion gap. She had ingested the contents of a scent bottle containing methanol, which she thought...

Neonatal acute gastric volvulus is rare and often associated with diaphragmatic anomalies. Patients usually present with vomiting and respiratory distress, but excessive salivation, failure to pass a nasogastric tube beyond 20 cms and the presence of a space occupying thoracic lesion should also prompt a search for the entity. The authors describe a case presenting with these atypical findings ...
