Obstetric emergencies: their practical management.

Collapse in an obstetric patient may be due to any of the causes listed in Table 1. If none of the specific treatments discussed are indicated the procedure should be: RESUSCITATE, TRANSFER AND DIAGNOSE--in that order.

A serological survey of bovine syncytial virus in Ontario: associations with bovine leukemia and immunodeficiency-like viruses, production records, and management practices.

Of the 920 cows tested, 56.7% showed antiretroviral serological reactivity. Prevalence rates (95% confidence interval) of antiretroviral antibodies among individual dairy cows in Ontario were: BIV 5.5% (4.0-7.0), BLV 25.7% (22.9-28.6), and BSV 39.6% (36.4-42.8). The following percentages of cows showed serological reactivity against the specified retroviruses: BIV 2.3%, BLV 14.0%, BSV 27.5%, BIV and BSV 1.3%, BIV and BLV 0.9%, BLV and BSV 9.9%, BIV and BLV and BSV 0.9%. These rates of sero-positivity are similar to those found in other countries. Serological test results were not adjusted for sensitivity and specificity. The prevalence rates of antibodies to the three retroviruses (BIV, BLV, and BSV) were significantly different, but no associations were observed between specific retroviral serological test results among individual cows. The prevalence rates of BIV and BSV seropositivity were constant across Ontario, whereas, there was a significant trend for the prevalence rate of BLV seropositivity to decrease going from southwestern to eastern Ontario; cows in eastern Ontario had approximately half the prevalence rate of those in southwestern Ontario. Cows that were seropositive for BSV were significantly older than BSV seronegative cows. There was no association between culling rate and BSV serology. Significant negative associations were found with winter or summer housing of calves separate from adults and summer outdoor exercise for dry cows. The use of calf hutches in the summer had a significant positive association with BSV seropositivity. Regression analyses were done to assess the association of retroviral (BIV, BLV, and BSV) seropositivity on calving interval, milk somatic cell count, and milk production. Serological test results for BIV, BLV, and BSV were entered into all models and all models were adjusted for intra-cluster (intraherd) correlation. Herd size and age were found to be important confounding variables. BIV seropositivity was not associated with any changes in production using this approach, however when considered in isolation BIV seropositivity remained associated with decreased milk production. BLV seropositivity was significantly associated with longer calving intervals and higher somatic cell counts in older cows. As well, in older cows, BSV seropositivity was significantly associated with higher milk production.

Practical management of treatment-resistant affective disorders.

The Geoffrey Knight National Unit was set up in 1970 exclusively for psychosurgery. In recent years it has become increasingly concerned with the development of medication regimens that might avoid the need for surgery. This has offered a unique pharmacotherapeutic opportunity because all the referrals have severe, persistent and treatment-resistant disorders. The scheme of high-dose and combined medication devised is presented and discussed.

Epidermolysis bullosa: practical management and clinical update.

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a heterogeneous group of rare, heritable disorders characterized by marked fragility of the skin and mucosa. Patients require a specialized program of wound care and timely intervention to treat the many systemic complications, some of which are potentially life-threatening.

Practical management of primary varicose veins.

Varicose veins cause a great deal of morbidity in our population today. Despite the large amount of surgical time spent dealing with the problem, there is still a disappointingly high recurrence rate and many patients are investigated inadequately before surgery. This review considers the assessment of 'simple' varicose veins using a combination of tourniquet tests and a hand-held doppler probe. The place of more sophisticated investigative techniques is also discussed, in particular the value of duplex assessment in localising the variably sited sapheno-popliteal junction. Routine stripping of the long saphenous vein to the below-knee level is likely to decrease the recurrence rate of simple, long, saphenous varicose veins.

[Problems in practical management of essential hypertension].

A study of 100 men with arterial hypertension showed that: 1) hypertension was predominantly moderate with 14% index of placebo reactivity; 2) only 3 patients had a surgically curable etiologic factor; 3) frequent associated findings were hereditary factors (60%), overweight and metabolic disorders (30 to 40%). Such results suggest that: a) hypertension could be treated, in the majority of patients, without preliminary etiologic investigations and, b) non invasive hemodynamics techniques are required to evaluate arterial and cardiac lesions which are the dominant factors in the prognosis.
