Twenty-two Michigan dairy herds participating in a computerized herd-health program were studied to determine the incidence and epidemiologic characteristics of repeat-breeder syndrome. A cow with repeat-breeder syndrome was defined as having been inseminated three or more times within the same lactation. Repeat-breeder syndrome was observed in 24% of 3,309 lactations. ...

A 10-year-old male Lhasa Apso was examined because of pyrexia, vomiting, weight loss, lethargy, and disorientation. The clinical and laboratory findings were supportive of a diagnosis of serum hyperviscosity syndrome associated with an Ehrlichia canis infection. After tetracycline therapy the serum hyperviscosity syndrome and E. canis infection were successfully resolved.

A severe case of supine hypotensive syndrome associated with a bicornuate uterus is presented. It is suggested that failure of left lateral tilt to prevent the syndrome was associated with anatomical displacement of the uterus to the right. The importance of trying right lateral tilt, if response to left tilt ...

Two patients are described with polyclonal IgG cryoglobulinaemia and necrotizing arteritis who developed severe lymphadenopathy which clinically mimicked malignant lymphoma. Histological studies demonstrated that the lymphadenopathy resulted from a pseudolymphomatous reaction associated with vascular damage.

Maffucci's syndrome (association of multiple enchondromatosis and multiple hemangiomata) is rarely associated with other ectodermal tumors. The present case is the second in literature in which the Maffucci's syndrome is associated with the parathyroid adenoma resulting in primary hyperparathyroidism. Although the cystic lesions of the bone and the ectopic calcifications ...

The authors describe a case of the catatonia syndrome associated with disulfiram therapy. Although useful in the management of chronic alcoholism, disulfiram is being increasingly associated with a wide spectrum of side effects and untoward medical sequelae, which now include catatonia. The authors note that catatonia is a clinical syndrome ...

In recent years, there have been major advances in knowledge of Vibrio species and related organisms that are responsible for diarrhoeal diseases, particularly V. cholerae O-Group 1 (epidemic strains), atypical V. cholerae O-Group 1, non-O-Group 1 V. cholerae (non-epidemic strains), V. parahaemolyticus, V. alginolyticus, and "Group F vibrios". This article ...

Senile and involutional entropion is occasionally associated with a marked relaxation of the canthal tendons. A simple adjunctive procedure to the imbrication of the lower lid retractors for the correction of senile entropion is described. This adjunctive procedure--the lateral canthal tendon tuck--should further reduce the remarkably low recurrence rate associated ...

The first case of Sézary's syndrome associated with generalized plane xanthoma is reported, thereby extending the association of lymphoreticular proliferative disorders with plane xanthomatosis. The association of Sézary's syndrome with plane xanthomatosis may be an in vivo example of defective cell regulation involving the major cellular components of the immune ...

A case is reported in which features of pseudohypoparathyroidism were found in association with the cri du chat syndrome. This association may throw some light on the localization of the chromosomal abberration which underlies pseudohypoparathyroidism, since deletion of the short arm of chromosome 5 has been clearly established in the ...

The Robin anomalad, once thought to constitute a specific syndrome, is now known to occur with several genetic syndromes, a few drug-induced syndromes, and some loosely associated anomalies. The mode of inheritance in genetic syndromes with the Robin anomalad is that of the particular syndrome with which the anomalad is ...

Immune complexes play an important role in the pathogenesis of malaria-associated nephropathies. Two main types of lesion are demonstrable: (a) acute (transient-reversible) lesions typical of falciparum infections in man, with mild clinical symptoms developing a week or two after infection. Renal biopsies at that time show deposits of immunoglobulins, complement, ...

A rigorous theory for the analysis of an associating system involving two different monomer units, which may also undergo self-association, has been developed. In the present paper the application of the theory to actual data is demonstrated for the first time. The model system chosen is the interaction of inosine ...

An adult (21 year old) male is described who developed Reye's syndrome in association with dengue type 1 infection.

Vesicles have been identified within the cartilage matrix of the upper tibial epiphyseal plate of normal mice. They were seen at all levels within the plate and usually did not appear to be in contact with cartilage cells. Vesicles were concentrated within the matrix of the longitudinal septa from the ...

Three patients experienced a rheumatic-fever-like illness with painful limitation of joint movements. The illnesses were due to infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Joint symptoms have not been previously described in cases of M. pneumoniae infection.

1. Mice of A and C(57)BL/6 Ks strains, thymectomized at birth acquire wasting disease in 84.1% (A) and 77.1% (C(57)BL/6 Ks) of the cases. There is no sex predelection. 2. Anemia in these animals is characterized by shortened red cell survival and increased fragility to hypotonic salt solutions. Among thymectomized ...

Korsakoff's syndrome of obscure etiology was observed in a 34-year-old single woman with an 11-year history of hirsutism and mood swings, and previous hospitalizations for mania three years ago and depression 11 years ago.Recently the virilism had intensified with increased muscularity and coarsening of facial features. The 24-hour urinary 17-ketosteroids ...

1. Immunochemical cross-reactivity, but not identity, has been demonstrated between bovine parathyroid hormone and an antigen in biologically active extracts of human parathyroid tissue by quantitative C' fixation and C' fixation inhibition. 2. An antigen that fixes C' with rabbit antibody to bovine parathyroid hormone has been found in urea ...
