A 12-year-old male Negro was admitted for cryotherapy to both eyes for lattice degeneration. The patient had developed secondary glaucoma followed by optic atrophy in the left eye after a hyphema resulting from an injury. Examination before operation revealed no abnormality except for a systolic murmur. His haemoglobin concentration was 12.3 g/100 ml and the haematocrit was 36.2%. On the day be...

Isoflurane is the anesthetic of choice for most avian anesthetic procedures. However, inhalation anesthesia is not always available in field situations involving wild birds, although small portable inhalation anesthesia units are available. Certain surgical procedures, such as tracheal resection, may warrant the use of injectable anesthesia regardless of whether or not an anesthesia machine is ...

This multi-author book has an ambitious title that promises more than the book delivers. The title would lead one to assume that the monograph covers most aspects of the control of breathing and its abnormalities in disease states. Unfortunately, that is not the case, and the coverage is selective, both in the basic physiology and the pathophysiology of the control of breathing. On the other ha...

State-dependent changes in breathing are caused by nonrespiratory (tonic) inputs to the brainstem systems that control ventilation. In wakefulness, tonic excitatory inputs include those from the reticular formation, brainstem aminergic systems, and hypothalamic orexin-containing neurons. In non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, decrements in these excitatory inputs can explain the features of br...
