Vesicular adenitis of bulls: A review.

The prevalence of inflammatory disease of the vesicular glands can be as high as 49% in some groups of bulls under common management conditions. Since these bulls are classified as questionable or unsatisfactory potential breeders, this disease can cause significant economic loss to the producer. The current knowledge of the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention are discussed.

Persistent cervical adenitis and nasopharyngeal carcinoma in children.

The high prevalence of inflammatory disease in pediatric patients makes the occurrence of prominent adenoidal tissue and cervical adenopathy a common finding. Unfortunately, rare nasopharyngeal cancer shares these physical findings in common with benign inflammatory disease of the pharynx. Computed tomography permits evaluation of nodal necrosis or wall nodularity, allowing clinically silent submucosal tumor extension to be well defined. In patients with suspected nasopharyngeal inflammatory disease who do not respond to conservative therapy, computed tomography can be used to aid directed biopsies.

Early detection and treatment of vesicular adenitis in bulls.

The objective of this study was to determine whether early detection and treatment with tilmicosin would reduce the number of yearling bulls culled due to vesicular gland disease at the time of their first semen test. Bulls (n=2207) of 15 breeds at 17 performance test stations were examined by transrectal palpation at 9-12 months of age and assigned to three treatment groups: (1) positive treated group, receiving subcutaneous injections of tilmicosin every second day for three treatments (2) positive untreated control group, (3) negative untreated control group. Transrectal palpation of the glands was done again at a pre-sale semen test 28-70 d (mean=42.8 d) after the first examination. Semen was evaluated for the presence of pus and/or leukocytes by light microscopy. The proportion of bulls with vesiculitis was 4.4% (97/2207). At the pre-sale semen test the number of bulls with vesiculitis had decreased to 1.3% (29/2207); however, seven of these were new cases that developed after the first examination. Therefore, there was a recovery rate of 75/97 (77.3%) in the original group of bulls positive for vesiculitis. At the pre-sale test, there was no difference in the proportion of bulls with enlarged glands in the positive treated group (15/66) versus the positive untreated group (7/31) and no difference in the proportion of bulls with leukocytes or pus in their semen samples. The results of this experiment did not indicate any advantage in detection and treatment of vesiculitis before a year on age due to a high rate of spontaneous recovery.
