Two immature male dogs were presented for the treatment of extensive maxillary compound odontomas. In both cases, clinical evaluation and diagnostic imaging revealed extensive lesions invading and displacing anatomical structures of the maxilla. Histopathology confirmed the diagnoses in both cases. One dog was treated with partial rostral maxillectomy, and the other dog was treated with enucleation of the cystic lining and removal of tooth-like structures through a lateral rhinotomy utilizing an intraoral approach. This report illustrates the growth potential of maxillary compound odontomas in 2 dogs and highlights their subclinical appearance and excellent prognosis despite their extensive nature.

Nematospiroides Dubius

The establishment of N. dubius juveniles was more successful in mice maintained on a diet inadequate to support the full growth potential of the animals than in mice maintained on an adequate diet. The distribution of encysted juveniles along the duodenum was considerably more extensive in the former group of mice.More juveniles were established in male than in female mice within the respective dietary groups, although the pattern of distribution was similar.The distribution of adult nematodes at 10 days after infection was confined to a smaller area of the duodenum than that of the encysted juveniles at 5 days.The differences in distribution of nematodes after 5 and 10 days between the HP and LP mice was not evident after 21 days. The survival of adult nematodes in the HP mice was more successful than in the LP animals.The female nematodes in the LP mice achieved a greater length but were less prolific egg producers than those in the HP mice.A diet inadequate to support the full growth potential of mice was therefore associated with the increased ability of Nematospiroides dubius juveniles to establish themselves in mice compared with the situation in adequately fed animals. The low plane diet, on the other hand, was associated with a decreased ability of the adult nematodes to survive.This work was supported by grants from the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan and the Australian Wool Board. I should like to express my appreciation for the supervision of this work by Professor J. F. A. Sprent and to thank Miss Sharon McFeeter and Mrs Anne McKeown for their most competent technical assistance.

The Asia-Pacific countries achieved rapid economic growth with the flying-goose model in the 1980s, growth buttressed by export-oriented development strategies and the policy culture in these countries. While Japan and the other Asia-Pacific countries still have strong growth potential, many problems remain, including trade imbalances with the United States and the rise of protectionism there, the Asia-Pacific economies' vulnerability, and the need to consolidate the infrastructure for growth. It is imperative that Japan contribute to the development of the region by responding effectively to these issues and that it strengthen the international trading arrangements by promoting Asia-Pacific cooperation premised on openness. Given the region's great internal diversity, Asia-Pacific economic cooperation can well serve as a model for international economic coordination.

ABSTRACT The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a hydrocolloid dressing on second intention wound healing in cats. Two full-thickness skin wounds, measuring 2 × 2 cm, were created on both sides of the dorsal midline of 10 cats; bilaterally, one randomly selected wound was bandaged with a hydrocolloid dressing and the second one (control) with a semiocclusive pad. Subjective clinical evaluation of granulation tissue formation, of the quantity and nature of wound exudate, and planimetry were performed on the right-side wounds, and histological examination on the left. No significant differences in subjective clinical evaluation or in planimetry were observed between the hydrocolloid-treated wounds and controls. Most wounds had serous or absence of exudate (41.25% and 25%, respectively), whereas purulent exudate was observed in 7.5% of wounds. Edema was significantly increased in the hydrocolloid-treated wounds compared with controls on day 7 but no significant differences in the other histological variables were observed.

Choice Feeding

The experiment described here was designed to test the proposition that lambs, given access to two feeds, as a choice, one abundant in crude protein (CP), the other deficient, can both select a diet which supports their potential growth rate and which avoids excesses of protein intake.Twenty four Suffolk x Greyface wether and females, at a mean liveweight of 20.2 kg (s.e. 0.6) were individually housed and their feed intake and liveweight recorded weekly.The four pelleted feeds used were highly digestible and had estimated energy yields of 10.5 MJ ME/kg freshweight. The basal feed (A) was made from equal parts barley and sugar beet pulp plus a vitamin/mineral mix. It contained 91 g CP/kg FW. Feed D was made by substituting fishmeal for the barley in feed A such that it contained 383g CP/kg. Feed B contained one third D and two thirds A and contained 182g CP/kg. Féed C contained two thirds D and one third A, giving a CP content of 266g CP/kg. Thus each of the four feeds A, B, C and D could be described in terms of either the proportion of feed A or the crude protein which it contained.Four lambs were offered feed A alone, and four lambs received feed B only. Twelve of the lambs were given ad 1ibitum access to both the basal feed A and one of the three other feeds B, C and D, for ten weeks. Four lambs were offered a choice between feed B and feed D for four weeks.

Chronic Spinal Pain

Objective: Spinal pain with or without referred pain is a major and costly health problem that can arise from many anatomical structures. Sophisticated diagnostic imaging devices cannot show some of these structures, and frequently imaging provides only a shadow of the truth. This review illustrates how symptoms may well have an organic cause that is not detectable by current methods of examination, including imaging. Method: This study reviews some histopathological findings that can be associated with spinal pain with or without referred pain but cannot be seen on imaging. Result: Some histopathological changes illustrate imaging device limitations. Conclusion: Awareness of the considerable limitations of even sophisticated imaging devices is necessary when managing patients with acute or chronic spinal pain with or without referred pain. Symptoms may well be genuine and not of psychogenic origin: a diagnosis of malingering, therefore, should not be made lightly.

The purpose of this study was to explore the performance stability of 101 kindergarten children on two commonly used screening tests: the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals-Revised Screening Test (CELF-RST) and the Bankson Language Test-Second Edition (BLT-2S). Both screening tests were administered at the beginning of the school year and again 7 months later. Several interesting findings emerged that may have significant implications for the speech-language pathologist working in the schools: (a) Children scored significantly higher on both tests during the second administration, despite the absence of any intervention from a speech-language pathologist; (b) almost one fourth of the children who failed the first test passed the second administration, despite the absence of intervention; and (3) approximately one-third of the kindergartners were inconsistently identified (i.e., passed one test but failed the other). Implications for the speech-language pathologist are discussed.

Radiologic Expertise

Although diagnostic imaging is, for the most part, the domain of radiologists, exceptions to this rule have developed. Cardiologists perform cardiac catheterization and echocardiography. Obstetricians have developed expertise in transvaginal ultrasound and fetal assessment. Why have some specialties embraced areas of imaging as theirs, while others — such as orthopedics and medicine — continue to rely on radiology? One reason is that radiologic expertise in these latter specialities is rarely required on a 24-hour basis and it can be provided without taking on an overwhelming workload. ED bedside ultrasonography, on the other hand, must be available 24 hours a day. Conditions requiring immediate (within 15 to 20 minutes) ultrasound (U/S) include expanding or leaking abdominal aneurysm, suspected ectopic pregnancy, and traumatic hemoperitoneum. When patients with these conditions are unstable they require even more rapid imaging — “real imaging” in the operating room.

AbstractIntact male pigs from two nucleus breeding herds (one predominantly Duroc, DM; the other purebred Large Wliite, LM) together with intact male (RM), castrated male (RC) and female (RF) commercial hybrid pigs were given one of two diets, with the same balanced protein (180 or 240 g/kg) at three daily rates, the highest being ‘to appetite‘. Six replicates of 30 pigs were allocated to these regimes at 40 kg: one replicate was slaughtered immediately to determine initial carcass composition; the remaining pigs were slaughtered at 85 kg when carcass fat and specific gravity (SG) were measured. For two replicates this was followed by dissection and chemical analysis: daily gains of carcass lipid and protein were estimated directly for these two replicates and predicted from carcass weight and SG for the other three. Fed ‘to appetite’, castrated males and females ate more than males; LM pigs ate least. All males grew faster than females or castrated males, the DM pigs the fastest, these rankings being relatively insensitive to feeding level. However, both in daily weight gain and daily protein accretion only the males responded to additional dietary protein. Daily body protein accretion of DM pigs increased linearly with intake on both diets whereas LM pigs showed little response to the highest level of feeding. At the same daily protein intake all pigs had higher rates of body protein accretion on the low protein diet, showing that they were sensitive to additional dietary energy. Results indicate that an animal's superiority may result from a greater efficiency of protein utilization or a higher lean growth potential but that these two characteristics are not simply related.

ABSTRACT Background: Dysphagia is characterized by difficulty in the swallowing pattern at any stage of this neuromuscular process. It is a frequent symptom after stroke. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the most commonly used phonoaudiological interventions as therapy for the treatment of swallowing disorders in patients with dysphagia after stroke. Methods: We performed a review of studies indexed in MEDLINE-PubMed, LILACS, Cochrane, and Clinical trials.gov focusing on speech-language interventions for adult dysphagic patients after stroke between January 2008 and January 2021. Results: Thirty-six articles of clinical trials were selected. Eleven different types of therapies have been studied. Studies on the efficacy of therapeutic interventions for the rehabilitation of adult patients with dysphagia after stroke are still scarce. Most techniques are combined with conventional therapy, so the effectiveness of the other techniques alone cannot be assessed. Conclusions: Therapeutic interventions should be selected in accordance with the possibilities and limitations of the patients, and especially with the findings of the clinical evaluation and with its objective.

Systematic examination of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts (URDT) was performed in a group of 80 paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) patients submitted to post-treatment follow-up ranging from 8 months to 17 years. Mucosae of the URDT had been involved prior to specific treatment in 74 patients, distributed as follows: oropharynx, 50 (41 alone, 7 in association with the larynx, and 2 with the nasal mucosa); larynx, 30 (23 alone and 7 in association); and nasal mucosa, 3(1 alone and 2 in association). Inactive lesions were observed in all the 50 patients with lesions of the oropharynx, 3 of whom with deforming scars (1 with retraction of the tongue and 2 with narrowing of the oral orifice). One case presented a destructive lesion, with perfuration of the palate. Of the other 46 cases, examination showed nacreous white striated scars which were nearly imperceptible in some cases and in others displayed partial retraction of anatomical structures without any alteration of their features. Patients presented a high rate of missing teeth. In 3 patients with involvement of the nasal mucosa, none of whom presented active PCM lesions, 2 still had nasal voices. In 30 patients with lesions of the larynx, 1 suffered a relapse of PCM and 2 developed epidermoid carcinoma. Of the other 27 cases, none of whom had active PCM lesions, 15 presented dysphonia, 3 were tracheotomized, and 9 were asymptomatic.
