Obesity in a dog, with secondary hormonal imbalance.

Obesity in dogs is frequently encountered by veterinarians. The history, clinical and laboratory findings of an overweight dog are described. Overfeeding of an all-meat diet resulted in obesity, and subclinical nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism. The obesity caused fatigue, decreased cardiac performance, respiratory embarrassment, skin lesions, prediabetes and increased glucocorticoid level. A balanced diet fed in limited amounts, and exercise, resulted in a marked loss of weight and an improvement in the dog's health. The practical control of canine obesity is discussed.

Tissue culture and histologic study of a new elastomer.

A new silicone material, Silastic MDX 4-4210, was tested by tissue culture and tissue implantation to compare host reaction with known toxic and nontoxic materials. It was not found to be toxic to a monolayer of HEL cells, and it evoked a minimal foreign body reaction when implanted in albino rats. Further clinical studies are indicated to evaluate host reaction of this silicone in long-term contact with human mucous membrane and skin tissue.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation: a review of its pathogenesis, manifestations and treatment.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation is a clinicopathologic process of man and animals which occurs secondary to many diseases. The process may manifest in a variety of clinical syndromes including medical shock, haemorrhage, haemolysis and organ failure. A diagnosis can be confirmed by detecting a deficiency of several haemostatic components and the presence of raised levels of circulating fibrinogen (fibrin) degradation products. Therapy of the disorder includes the removal of the initiating factors which have provoked the clotting process together with the use of anticoagulants. The disease processes in which disseminated intravascular coagulation is implicated in the dog are enumerated.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation: a complication of Babesia canis infection in the dog.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation is described as a complication of Babesia canis infection in the dog. B. canis infection in the dog is characterized as a mild (uncomplicated) or severe (complicated) disease. The clinical, coagulation and haematological, pathological and histopathological findings of the severe disease are described. Thrombocytopenia is reported as occurring in both the mild and severe forms of B. canis infection in the dog.

Therapeutic implications of Babesia canis infection in dogs.

The therapeutic regime used in the treatment of dogs with Babesia canis infection differed between dogs with mild (uncomplicated) and severe (complicated) disease. In addition to the treatment given to dogs with mild disease, the dogs with severe disease received intravenous fluids, heparin and blood transfusion together with other supportive measures. Mortalities occurred only in the group with severe disease and were attributed to disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Asymmetric transfer of prototype information between vision and audition.

Specific and nonspecific transfer of pattern class concept information between vision and audition was examined. In Experiment 1, subjects learned visually or auditorily to distinguish between two pattern classes that were either the same as or different from the test classes. All subjects were then tested on the auditory classification of 50 patterns. Specific intramodal and cross-modal transfer was noted; subjects trained visually and auditorily on the test classes were equivalent in performance and more accurate than untrained controls. In Experiment 2, the training of Experiment 1 was repeated, but subjects were tested visually. There was no evidence of auditory-to-visual transfer but some suggestion of nonspecific transfer within the visual modality. The asymmetry of transfer is discussed in terms of the modality into which patterns are most likely translated for the cross-modal tasks and in terms of the quality of prototype formation with visual versus a,ditory patterns.

Should fearful individuals be instructed to proceed quickly or cautiously?

Snake or cockroach phobic Ss were given opportunities to approach a live specimen. Those instructed to go "as far as they could" made significantly more progress in overcoming their fear than Ss asked to proceed cautiously. They also did better than the group especially urged to push themselves, although this difference was not significant. Implications for treatment strategies are discussed.

The role of the prosthodontist in secondary management of facial trauma.

Major head and neck trauma affects the midface and intraoral structures in most accident victims. The prosthodontist can provide a much-needed treatment service during the rehabilitation of these persons. Secondary management is a complicated and protracted experience. An interdisciplinary approach with consultations, careful planning, and integrated surgical/prosthodontic management of all phases of treatment can provide the patient with a most satisfactory result.

Evaluation of polymeric materials for maxillofacial prosthetics.

The methods for initial evaluation of a new prospective maxillofacial prosthetic material, MDX-4-4210, have been described and tensile and compressive test data have been obtained. Evaluation of the data indicates that this is a promising material with significant potential for use in maxillofacial prosthetics. Further studies of the material's biologic implant compatibility, its chemical and environmental stabilities, and its clinical performance are being done.

The continuing role of the prosthodontist in the treatment of patients with cleft lip and palate.

The prosthodontist can fill a unique position on the cleft-palate team by aggressive participation in every phase of treatment for the developing child. Neonatal prostheses allow for normal feeding and help to direct proper tongue position. Palatal obturation is essential during all growth and tooth development. When orthodontic treatment is necessary and a pharyngeal extension prosthesis is present, obturation can be maintained with flexible denture liners. Each individual situation will allow utilization of an innovative type of prosthesis.

Rehabilitating dentulous hemimandibulectomy patients.

A hemimandibulectomy can have many debilitating consequences, such as an eccentric occlusion, a disoriented masticatory cycle, facial disfigurement, distorted speech, and salivation problems. If prosthetic treatment begins some time following surgery and the cicatricial tissue has already consolidated, additional treatment time is necessary. A technique is described which combines crowns with a maxillary prosthesis to guide the mandible into a functional occlusion.

Canine systemic lupus erythematosus. The disease, clinical manifestations and treatment.

The similarities between human and canine systemic lupus erythematosus are enumerated, using the incidence of symptoms reported for man as a guide to the possible incidence of clinical signs in the dog. Differences between the human and canine diseases are listed. Four clinical cases of the disease are reported. Diagnostic procedures were confined to the observation of clinical signs and serological and haematological methods.
