Effects of the caecal nematode Trichostrongylus tenuis on egg-laying by captive red grouse.

Captive hen red grouse infected with Trichostrongylus tenuis larvae started to lay later in spring and laid fewer eggs at a slower rate than uninfected hens. March-infected hen grouse showed greater effects than December-infected ones, probably because developing larvae were more pathogenic than adult worms. The mechanism by which parasites interfered with egg production involved reduction in food intake. Infected hens also gained less weight than controls before laying.

[A case of acute simple volvulus of the cecum].

A rare and exceptional case of acute simple volvulus of the cecum, already affected by a gangrenous process, is described after it had been found by chance in a patient who was operated for acute abdomen. The torsion had occurred in a tract of the cecum which had been strictured by an acute aspecific inflammation. Having underlined that preoperative diagnosis of simple volvulus of the cecum is virtually impossible (and likewise the diagnosis of volvuli of the ascending cecum and ileocecumcholics), the paper continues to describe the etiopathogenetic mechanisms which are thought to have caused to volvulus in question.
