The reliability of morphological characters and host differential plants for distinguishing between two populations of Meloidogyne incognita was studied. Population A (originally from North Carolina) had incognita-type perineal patterns. A single egg mass subpopulation of population A had a mixture of incognita and acrita perineal patterns with 33% of the patterns atypical for either species. P...

CASE REPORT A 3-year-old male neutered Domestic Shorthair cat was evaluated for a skin mass of approximately 2 × 3 cm arising from the right dorsolateral aspect of the tail at the junction between the proximal and middle one-thirds of the tail length. Incisional biopsy sample was consistent with granulomatous inflammation. The granuloma was surgically excised with 5 mm margins of normal skin. T...

Objective- introduce and evaluate modified surgical technique in repair of third grade perinea lacerations in mares. Design- descriptive study. Animals- ten mares. Procedures- The tissue between rectal and vagina mucosa was incised in the way that the lower rectal mucosa was entirely separated from upper vaginal mucosa and a flap was consequently induced in both sides. The septum between rectum...

Detailed morphological comparisons with light and scanning electron microscopy were made of white females and cysts of several isolates of Globodera tabacum sspp. tabacum (GTT), virginiae (GTV), and solanacearum (GTS). Observations focused on body shape, anterior region including head shape, lip pattern, stylet morphology, and the terminal area in females; and body shape and terminal area of cy...

• Vol 10 • July 2008 Perineal Massage to Prevent Perineal Trauma Perineal trauma is defined as any damage to the genitalia occurring during childbirth, either spontaneously or because of a surgical incision or episiotomy [1,2]. A large British study showed that 85% of women delivering vaginally will sustain some form of perineal trauma [3]. Over two-thirds of such women will require suturing. G...

Isolated perineal burns are rare and so are perineal contractures. Perineal contractures may however lead to intestinal obstruction, which is a more life-threatening complication. A six-yr-old boy presented with chronic intestinal obstruction following isolated perineal contracture due to a deliberate perineal burn injury to treat a febrile convulsion. The obstruction was successfully relieved ...
