This paper describes the clinical and laboratory findings in 16 horses suffering from lymphosarcoma and the autopsy results in 13 of these cases which were examined at the Large Animal Medicine Clinic, State University of Utrecht, from 1969 to 1981. The cases were classified into four groups, designated multicentric, alimentary, ...

Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (AIL) is a lympho-proliferative disorder whose clinical and histological features are now well recognized. Up to now, no attention has been focused on electrolytic disturbances associated with AIL. We report 12 cases of AIL with hyponatremia below 130 mmol/l on admission. Clinical and biological features suggest that hyponatremia ...

A case of erythrocytic polyagglutination in a healthy blood donor is reported. After a review of current literature, the results of clinical and serologic tests which led to the diagnosis of Tn-red cells polyagglutination are presented. This is only the sixth case of Tn-activation in a healthy blood donor. The ...

Predisposing causes of bovine post-parturient hemoglobinuria are summarized along with suspected pathogeneses, clinical signs, laboratory findings, clinical management and early experimentation.

Nerve conduction studies, conventional and quantitative concentric needle EMG and single fibre ENG were performed on 5 clinically affected and 7 clinically asymptomatic members of a family with a mitochondrial myopathy manifesting as a facioscapulohumeral syndrome. Abnormalities of nerve conduction present in 3 clinically affected cases were attributed to co-existent ...

There was described the first cultural proven case of gastrointestinal entomophthoramycosis caused by B. haptosporus. A review of the literature on gastrointestinal zygomycosis led us to presume that similar clinical reported cases have been also caused by this fungus. A commentary on the designation of the clinical forms of the ...

Winnicott's thesis about transitional objects and transitional phenomena indicates that Kleinian theory, as well as his own preference for imaginative play with ideas, influenced his interpretation of his discovery and led to misapplications of its meaning. An alternative interpretation of its meaning, one that may be aligned more easily with ...

The clinical features of 62 cases of computerized axial tomography scan-proved cerebral haemorrhage and 81 cases of cerebral infarction in the carotid territory have been compared in a retrospective case note survey. The clinical features which can help in making the distinction between haemorrhage and infarction at the bedside are ...

Among 844 proband cases with various types of spinocerebellar degenerations reported to us by about 200 major neurological clinics in Japan, there were 26 males and 26 females with Friedreich's ataxia. Genetic analysis disclosed recessive transmission of these cases. Clinical patterns were almost identical with the cases observed in Europe ...

Two cases of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis are presented with detailed accounts of the clinical, histopathological and histochemical changes in the brain. In one of them, neurochemical analysis of the brain was found to be essentially normal. Despite the pathological and histochemical similarity in these two cases, the clinical forms were ...

Four patients with metastases to the larynx are reported. The pathways of metastatic invasion of the larynx are discussed and illustrated with whole organ laryngeal sections from these cases. Although three of the four cases were clinically silent, all could have been detected on indirect laryngoscopy. The true incidence of ...

In order for successful coverage of denuded roots to be accomplished, correctly applied fundamental biological principles must be considered in the choice and utilization of the surgical modality. In this report some representative clinical cases are presented to indicate favorable results that may be achieved with stimulated osteoperiosteal pedicle flaps. ...

A detailed description of bilateral extensor digitorum brevis manus (EDBM) present in a female cadaver is presented. The need for clinical recognition is emphasized. Prevalence, morphological variability and theories of ontogeny are reviewed. Clinical significance and possible function are discussed. Since misdiagnosis may result from the anatomical variability and lack ...

Based on the literature and on experience and on experience with 23 cases the clinical diagnosis of insulinomas is reviewed. In clinical praxis the diagnostic steps can usually be simplified to a demonstration of fasting, symptomatic hypoglycaemia. Hence, we have used the 72-hour fast as the single diagnostic test for ...

A comparative trial between betamethasone valerate and halcinonide has shown the former to be superior, thus contradicting the results from other trials. It is thought that the discrepancy is due to differences in the nature of the preparations used in the various studies. It is suggested that note is made ...

Thirty patients with nipple retraction associated with duct ectasia have been studied to determine the clinical features of this condition. This association is a common one and the similarity of these nipple changes to those produced by cancer is emphasized. While clinical evaluation of the nipple changes may give an ...

A discussion of the merits of acupuncture therapy and a review of experiments that support the neurogenic mediation of acupuncture are presented. Case reports are included as examples of the therapeutic value of acupuncture in treatment of intestinal and musculoskeletal disorders in the horse. Statistical importance cannot be credited to ...

The accurate identification of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is difficult because ADRs usually present no unique clinical or laboratory findings that demarcate them from the manifestations of concurrent illnesses. The identification of ADRs depends on the clinical assessments of physicians-sometimes the clinician treating the patient and at other times a ...
