HISTORICAL REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE ON Q FEVER

In response to the growing diversity represented on university college campuses, libraries are positioning themselves to contribute to student success by implementing cultural competency strategies into their policies, programs, and hiring practices. In this chapter, the authors outline the mutually beneficial relationship between student affairs and the libraries─most commonly situated within academic affairs. A historical review of the literature describes the emergence of student affairs within the academy and their relationship with academic affairs. The literature review is followed by a study in the evolving roles of student affairs and libraries in higher education. The authors go on to present a case study highlighting co-curricular partnerships between libraries and offices throughout student affairs that promote cultural competency and intercultural effectiveness.

Bovine Abortion

A cluster of 4 bovine abortions caused by Coxiella burnetii occurred in a dairy herd in Uruguay during a 2-mo period. Case 1 consisted of a placenta from an aborted cow; cases 2–4 were fetuses and their placentas. Grossly, the placenta from one aborted cow had moderate, diffuse reddening of the cotyledons and loss of translucency of the intercotyledonary areas. No gross lesions were observed in the other 3 placentas. Microscopically, 2 of 4 placentas had fibrinonecrotizing placentitis with abundant intratrophoblastic gram-negative coccobacilli. C. burnetii was identified intralesionally by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in all 4 placentas, and by PCR and DNA sequencing in 3 placentas analyzed by these techniques. One fetus had mild neutrophilic alveolitis with multinucleate syncytial cells; no gross or microscopic lesions were observed in the other 2 fetuses examined. The lungs of the 3 fetuses were negative for C. burnetii by IHC. Tests performed to investigate other possible causes of abortions in the 4 cases were negative. C. burnetii causes Q fever in humans and coxiellosis in animals. Clusters of abortions in cattle by C. burnetii have not been reported previously, to our knowledge; this bacterium has been considered an opportunistic pathogen associated only with sporadic abortion in cattle. We present herein a cluster of 4 bovine abortions caused by C. burnetii in a dairy farm during a period of 2 mo and a review of the literature on C. burnetii infection in cattle.

Positive Results

With his own research, the author prefaces a historical review of the literature on this issue, noting that the attempts of numerous researchers to photograph the bottom of the eye did not lead to positive results, the photograms they received turned out to be all unsatisfactory, the devices proposed by them differed in the imperfection of the device and in most cases did not satisfy inventors. At the beginning of his research, the author worked with a Guin Koff apparatus, but he failed to get photograms of the bottom of the eye.
