Fatal air embolism during anesthesia for laparoscopy in a dog 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A 13-year-old dog went into cardiopulmonary arrest after insufflation of the abdominal cavity with nitrogen for laparoscopy. Resuscitation was unsuccessful. Necropsy findings included a punctured spleen and confirmed the development of air embolism. 相似文献

Major changes to the extent and quality of farmland habitats, brought by the intensification of agricultural practice, are thought to be the main factors driving declines in a suite of farmland bird species in Europe. Recent changes in agricultural techniques have also contributed to widespread soil degradation, arising from increased soil exposure to erosion forces, declining soil organic content and increasing soil compaction. Although soils have a fundamental influence on ecosystem properties, the implications of soil degradation for farmland biodiversity have received little attention. In this study, we measure the influence of soil conditions on the distribution of a declining insectivorous farmland bird, the yellow wagtail Motacilla flava, relative to other habitat features in arable fields. Soil penetrability was found to have a significant influence on the abundance of territorial yellow wagtails at the field scale, together with crop type. Other measured habitat features had little effect on territory abundance, including soil organic content, crop height (within preferred crop types), field boundary habitats and availability of bare ground. Monitoring of invertebrate abundance across 20 cereal fields revealed a significant influence of both soil penetrability and soil organic content on aerial invertebrate capture rates. This relationship was strongest during the latter part of the breeding season, implying that settling yellow wagtails could use soil penetrability as a predictive indicator of prey abundance during the chick-rearing period. The strong relationship between yellow wagtails and soil penetrability suggests a potential causative link between soil degradation and population decline. The role of soils in determining abundance patterns and population declines of other farmland species may have been overlooked in previous studies. 相似文献

Background: Evaluation of serum magnesium (Mg) concentration is becoming important in human and veterinary critical care medicine. An ion‐selective electrode can measure the physiologically active ionized fraction. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to validate an ion‐specific electrode analyzer and assay for measuring ionized Mg in feline serum and to determine a reference interval for this analyte in cats. Methods: Venous blood samples were collected anaerobically from clinically healthy cats, and the serum was used to validate the analyzer and assay. This included investigating the stability of samples stored at different temperatures, intra‐ and interassay precision, linearity, analytical sensitivity, and potential interferences from bilirubin, lipemia, hemoglobin, or serum separator tubes. A reference interval was calculated. Results: Serum samples evaluated for ionized Mg concentrations can be stored at 20°C for ≤24 hours, at 4°C for ≤72 hours, and at ?20°C for ≤4 weeks, when samples are minimally exposed to air. Intra‐ and interassay precisions had coefficients of variation (CVs) of 1.23% and 2.02%, respectively. There was good linearity using serum (r= .998; y=?0.0057 + 1.0256x) and manufacturer‐supplied aqueous solutions and quality control materials (r= .999; y= 0.0110 + 0.9213x). Apparent analytical sensitivity was at least 0.015 mmol/L. Mean recovery was good for ionized Mg in samples with ≤1+ icterus (104%), 4+ lipemia (99.3%) and 1–4+ hemolysis (98.6%). There was no significant difference (P= .52) in ionized Mg concentrations in serum collected in tubes containing no additives compared with serum collected in glass separator tubes. The serum ionized Mg reference interval was 0.47–0.63 mmol/L (n = 40). Conclusions: The Nova CRT8 analyzer and assay provide a precise and reliable method of measuring ionized Mg concentration in feline serum. Strict adherence to sampling techniques, handling, and storage are necessary for reliable results. 相似文献

The main objective of this study was to determine if administration of meloxicam, a cyclooxygenase (COX) two inhibitor, to heifers in which embryo transfer (ET) is more difficult and requires a greater manipulation of the tract, would be beneficial. Nulliparous recipient heifers were divided in two groups: CON (n = 102), in which animals received 10 ml of saline IM (the same volume of meloxicam) and MEL (n = 105) animals that were treated with meloxicam. According to the degree in passing the catheter, recipients from both groups were classified as Grade I, easy (< 60 s), and Grade II (more than 80 s), difficult. Immediately after embryo transfer, MEL recipients received an injection of 200 mg of meloxicam (10 ml).There was no difference in the pregnancy rates on Day 35 considering animals which presented Grade I cervix independently whether the treatment was performed or not (p = 0.22). There was a statistical difference in the pregnancy rates (p < 0.01) between both groups (49.0% and 66.7% for CON and MEL, respectively) when cervical grade was not considered, on Day 35. Considering the animals that presented Grade II cervix, the pregnancy rate was higher for MEL (21.15% and 78.84%, respectively) in both examinations (p < 0.01).The authors concluded that meloxicam had a positive influence on general pregnancy rate of treated heifers in comparison to non‐treated heifers. It was also observed that pregnancy rate was not influenced by meloxicam administration in Grade I heifers. Treatment increased the pregnancy rate of Grade II heifers. 相似文献

The transport of auxin controls developmental events in plants. Here, we report that in addition to maintaining vacuolar pH, the H+-pyrophosphatase, AVP1, controls auxin transport and consequently auxin-dependent development. AVP1 overexpression results in increased cell division at the onset of organ formation, hyperplasia, and increased auxin transport. In contrast, avp1-1 null mutants have severely disrupted root and shoot development and reduced auxin transport. Changes in the expression of AVP1 affect the distribution and abundance of the P-adenosine triphosphatase and Pinformed 1 auxin efflux facilitator, two proteins implicated in auxin distribution. Thus, AVP1 facilitates the auxin fluxes that regulate organogenesis. 相似文献
