Clinical hematological progression of hereditary lymphosarcoma in rabbits.

Considerable diversity exists in the clinical progression data for lymphosarcoma both between and within species. Thirty-four rabbits with hereditary lymphosarcoma were used to define the clinical progression of this condition under controlled genetic conditions. Changes in the erythropoietic cells of the rabbit hemogram in cases of hereditary lymphosarcoma (ha/ha) follow a fairly well defined clinical course of about one-and-one-half months duration. Data are presented showing that these changes are subsequent to schanges in the granulocytic cells of the leukocyte series both peripherally and in the bone marrow.

Myopathies caused by three mutations of the mouse.

Our studies indicate that comparison of the three hereditary myopathies in mice, dy and dy2J, and myd, may provide clues for the fact that "muscular dystrophy" of man defines a group of disorders having both similar and individual characteristics. We have previously suggested that multiple or pleiotropic gene effects as well as interaction of genes may occur not only in mice but also in man. In addition, more than one gene may control or influence pathways of muscle metabolism.

Duplex-ultrasonographic evaluation of the common carotid artery in the resting, sedated and anesthetized horse.

The aim of this study was to determine the blood flow in the carotid artery during halothane anaesthesia by means of duplex-sonography. Seventeen warm blood horses were evaluated in dorsal and lateral recumbency and the results were compared with the values of the same horses resting and under sedation. The cross sectional area of the vessels, the time-averaged maximal blood velocity, time-averaged maximal blood flow and the resistance index were determined and the flow profile was evaluated. During halothane anesthesia the total blood flow shows a significant increase which is not dependent on the positioning of the horse. Mean blood velocity is decreased by sedation and significantly increased during anesthesia. Reduced peripheral resistance is expressed by a decline of the resistance index. After sedation and during recumbency there is an increase in diameter of the carotid artery.
