Background: Feline panleukopenia is a viral disease caused by the family of Parvoviridae. Many species of pets, especially cats, that if they have been infected, compromised health and can lead to death. Purpose: To determine the infection pattern and treatment of feline panleukopenia in cats at the Educational Animal Hospital of Universitas Airlangga. Method: Ten patients were recorded as infected with parvovirus from a total of 1107 patients with various disease complaints. Daily records were taken regarding all clinical symptoms, physical examination, and treatment. Result: After four weeks, the obtained data were calculated. Thus, we collect data that show essential factors that can be used to determine the diagnose of feline panleukopenia in cats. Conclusion: Most parvovirus infections occurred in cats aged two to four years by showing abnormalities in temperature, breathing, and turgor. Clinical symptoms that appeared include vomiting, diarrhea, and high dehydration. Treatments were used to suppress the secondary effects of parvovirus infection and besides to eradicate the virus itself.

Hodgkin Disease

Idiopathic nephrotic based on medical history, physical examination supplemented by ultrasound check. It does not often happen that a medical sign characteristic of nephrotic syndrome with generalized enlargement of lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy), liver and spleen may indicate an occurrence of lymphoma. A paraneoplastic syndrome is the state of clinical symptoms related to tumors, not being a close implication of a local neoplastic and metastatic infiltration. The objective of this article is drawing attention to the possibility of concealment of Hodgkin disease through symptoms of nephrotic syndrome by the case of a 13-year old boy.

Összefoglaló. A Treacher Collins-szindróma a mandibulofacialis dysostosisok csoportjába tartozó kórkép. Főbb jellegzetességei a maxillaris és mandibularis dysostosis, az antimongoloid szemrések, az alsó szemhéj colobomája, illetve a vezetéses halláscsökkenés. A szindrómával járó tünetek egyénenként és családon belül is nagyon eltérőek lehetnek; legenyhébb formái csaknem észrevehetetlenek, míg a súlyosabb esetekben az életet veszélyeztető légúti szövődmények léphetnek fel. Hátterében az esetek döntő többségében a TCOF1-gén eltérései játszanak szerepet, mely eltérések autoszomális domináns módon öröklődnek. Esetbemutatásunk célja, hogy felhívjuk a figyelmet a genetikai vizsgálat elvégzésének fontosságára olyan, klinikailag jól felismerhető tünetegyüttes, mint a Treacher Collins-szindróma esetén. Bár a betegség a klinikai kép alapján diagnosztizálható, az ismétlődés kockázatát csak úgy tudjuk pontosan meghatározni, ha ismerjük a családtagok genotípusát. A bemutatott család több tagjánál kimutatható volt a TCOF1-gén mutációja, annak ellenére, hogy klinikai tünetük nem volt. A jelenség magyarázata az inkomplett penetrancia, azaz a hibás gén fenotípusosan nem kerül kifejeződésre. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(52): 2201–2205. Summary. Treacher Collins syndrome belongs to the group of mandibulofacial dysostoses. Its main features are maxillary and mandibular dysostosis, downward-slanting palpebral fissures, coloboma of the lower eyelid and conductive hearing loss. The symptoms associated with the syndrome can vary greatly from individual to individual and within the family. In its mildest form, the syndrome is almost imperceptible, and when severe, life-threatening respiratory complication can occur. TCOF1 is the major gene involved with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. The purpose of our case study is to draw attention to the importance of performing genetic testing in a clinically recognizable disorder such as Treacher Collins syndrome. Although the disease can be diagnosed based on the clinical symptoms, the risk of recurrence can only be accurately determined if the genotype of the family members is known. Several members of the presented family had a mutation in the TCOF1 gene despite having no clinical symptoms. The explanation for this phenomenon is incomplete penetrance, i.e., the defective gene is not expressed in the phenotype. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(52): 2201–2205.

Specific Symptoms

Feline panleukopenia is a highly contagious viral disease of the members of the family Felidae caused by a DNA-virus of the family Parvoviridae. After infection, the virus is detected in saliva, nasal discharge, urine and feces; it is transmitted through excrements, water, food, and, according to some reports, by bloodsucking insects. The disease is characterized by gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system, hematopoietic tissue lesions. The paper describes the clinical signs of panleukopenia in cats in the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic. Based on the records of a state-financed veterinary hospital and a charitable animal shelter located in the town of Yasinovataya, as well as those of private veterinary clinics and a veterinary office located in Donetsk, a classification of the clinical signs of the disease in pet and stray cats is suggested with the signs grouped according to their occurrence rate and by age groups. The paper provides evidence of feline panleukopenia occurrence in the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic. In particular, the period from 2015 to 2018 was characterized by an increase in panleukopenia morbidity in stray animals; pet cats were also involved in the epidemic process. It was found that most of the clinical symptoms of panleukopenia were reported in cats of all age categories irrespective of their sex. Specific symptoms characteristic for different age groups were reported. It was found that panleukopenia morbidity rates for stray kittens aged 0–12 months were 1.8 times higher than those for pet kittens of the same age group. The disease was reported in adult pet cats 2.4 times less frequently than in stray cats. It is shown that the number of the disease cases in female cats is 1.5 times higher than in male ones. It is concluded that the violation of quarantine rules and insufficient vaccination coverage in cats are risk factors for the disease outbreak occurrence precipitating the multiple recurrent outbreaks of the disease.

Language Pathology

The family described in this article provides an unusual opportunity to relate findings from genetic, histological, electrophysiological, psychophysical, and rehabilitative investigation. Although the total number evaluated is large (49), the known, living affected population is smaller (14), and these are spread from age 20 to age 59. As a result, the findings described above are those of a large-scale case study. Clearly, more data will be available through longitudinal study of the individuals documented in the course of this investigation but, given the slow nature of the progression in this disease, such studies will be undertaken after an interval of several years. The general picture presented to the audiologist who must rehabilitate these cases is that of a progressive cochlear degeneration that affects only thresholds at first, and then rapidly diminishes speech intelligibility. The expected result is that, after normal language development, the patient may accept hearing aids well, encouraged by the support of the family. Performance and satisfaction with the hearing aids is good, until the onset of the speech intelligibility loss, at which time the patient will encounter serious difficulties and may reject hearing aids as unhelpful. As the histological and electrophysiological results indicate, however, the eighth nerve remains viable, especially in the younger affected members, and success with cochlear implantation may be expected. Audiologic counseling efforts are aided by the presence of role models and support from the other affected members of the family. Speech-language pathology services were not considered important by the members of this family since their speech production developed normally and has remained very good. Self-correction of speech was supported by hearing aids and cochlear implants (Case 5’s speech production was documented in Perkell, Lane, Svirsky, & Webster, 1992). These patients received genetic counseling and, due to the high penetrance of the disease, exhibited serious concerns regarding future generations and the hope of a cure.

Homicidal cut throat is an injury over the front of neck by sharp instruments with an intent of murder. The neck contains vital structures (nerves, blood vessels, airway and pharyngeal conduit) in a compact fashion that may be difficult to access for physical examination or surgical exploration in a limited time. That is why these cases create panic and pose great challenges in the management. Here is a case of an attempted homicidal cut throat injury that highlights some of the challenges encountered in the management along with discussion on the evolving knowledge of the optimal management practice.

Drugs are an important component of health services that are the needs of the community. There is still a lack ofcommunity knowledge of medicines and management especially for family members, hence an educational effort as well asimprovement of quality of drug management in family through training program and mentoring by pharmacist. Thiscommunity service activity aims to determine the knowledge and attitude of the community in managing drugs in the familyand improve the quality of drug management by the community in the family. The activity was conducted in SidasariWetanKubangkangkung Village Kawunganten Cilacap. The workshop on drug management in family was conducted by pharmaciststo the 33 participants. Data collection was done by using questionnaire and observation through home visit. The result of theactivity shows that the increase of knowledge and attitude of the society in managing drugs in the familywere 10% and 7%,respectively. Workshop activities and mentoring by pharmacists can provide benefits and behavioral changes in family drugsmanagement.

Introduction: Background and Research Aims: Assessing biodiversity recovery is key to determine whether the objectives of habitat restoration for conservation are met. Many restoration initiatives use cross-sectional comparisons of wildlife communities to infer restoration impact instead of longitudinal assessments from a baseline state. Using an indicator of biodiversity in the neotropics— bats— we demonstrate how assessing community diversity and composition in an area targeted for restoration prior to implementation, and when compared to surrounding intact forest, provides the groundwork to track changes in the community post-restoration. Methods We assessed bat communities by 1) using mist-net surveys to identify species in the family Phyllostomidae (leaf-nosed bats), and 2) conducting acoustic surveys to identify non-phyllostomid species (aerial insectivores). Results For both groups, we found that areas targeted for restoration had similar diversity as the surrounding forest, but the two habitat types differed in community composition. Phyllostomids were captured at higher rates in forest, but aerial insectivores were detected at higher rates in restoration habitat. Conclusion Our baseline assessment revealed unexpected diversity in areas targeted for restoration. The presence of all trophic groups in restoration habitat suggests that bats provide key ecosystem services in the restoration process, such as through seed dispersal, pollination and insect pest control. Implications for Conservation: Conducting a baseline survey of bats in areas targeted for restoration demonstrated that the community was not species poor at the baseline and was different from the surrounding forest, allowing us to better track restoration success and the effects of different restoration treatments.

Low Prevalence

Wolfram Syndrome (WS) is a rare disease (RD) with an estimated prevalence of 1/770,000 inhabitants. It is considered a multisystemic, chronic and progressive disease.WS diagnosis implies devastating consequences at physical, educational and emotional levels. WS is also known by the acronym DIDMOAD, derived from the first letters of the main clinical symptoms: Diabetes Insipidus, Diabetes Mellitus, Optic Atrophy, and Deafness. Rare diseases are characterized by their low prevalence and the lack of knowledge on the pathophysiology and treatment of them. Interestingly, around 80% of RD have a genetic basis, and this fact causes doubts and uncertainties in the couples, about the idea of having another child. The existence of a RD in a family, alters significantly the relationships and the quality of life within the family. The present work remarks the huge value of psychosocial aspects in order to pay an adequate attention to these patients, not only taking care of the clinical aspects. The main purpose of this study has been to ascertain the quality of life of Wolfram’s syndrome affected patients, and its impact in the daily life.

The U.S

In 2009, the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (TCA) granted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory authority over tobacco products, although initially this only included cigarettes, smokeless tobacco and roll-your-own tobacco. In 2016, the deeming rule extended regulatory authority to include all tobacco products, including cigars. The deeming rule prohibited the introduction of new tobacco products into the marketplace without proper marketing authorisation and laid out pathways for tobacco companies to follow. The deeming rule should have frozen the cigar marketplace in 2016. In this paper, we describe how the cigarillo marketplace, nevertheless, continues to diversify with new brands, flavors, styles and packaging sizes entering the market regularly. As an example, we highlight recent promotional efforts by Swedish Match North America (Swedish Match) for their popular cigarillo brands, including White Owl, Night Owl and Garcia y Vega’s Game brand. We argue that ambiguities in the TCA make it unclear whether Swedish Match’s seemingly new cigarillos fit the definition of new tobacco products and, if so, whether they are on the market legally. Swedish Match and other cigarillo companies may be taking advantage of these ambiguities to promote a variety of cigarillo flavors and styles in innovative ways. Given that cigars are combustible tobacco products that pose many of the same risks as cigarettes, this business practice raises significant concerns regarding the protection of public health, particularly among young people.
