The study was carried out on forty-nine (49) cattle cases were clinically healthy animals with average body condition. They were clinically, and laboratory examined proved as healthy cattle and they are free from internal and external parasites were kept as controls while other one hundred (100) cattle animals were suffering from depraved appetites. All animals were belonged to the villages scattered in the Qena Governorate Egypt. Blood samples were taken from the external jugular vein, and then centrifuged and stored until analyses. Blood was taken aseptically from all the animals and transported to laboratory for biochemical analysis for estimation of macro and micro elements in diseased animals. Fecal samples was taken aseptically from all the animals and transported to laboratory for the presence of internal parasites.  The results showed a highly significant effect of copper, iron, chloride, and sodium significant at (P<0.01), and low significant of protein, zinc, phosphorus and calcium at (P<0. 05). The aim of this work was to follow the changes, during the early diagnosis of depraved appetite on some trace elements, protein and internal parasites.

Abstract. We have investigated the capability of a completely deafferented medial basal hypothalamus (MBH) pituitary complex to support LH release following electrochemical stimulation (ECS) of the arcuate-median eminence (ARC-ME) region. In adult female rats the MBH was completely deafferented (CD) on the morning of pro-oestrus (08.00-10.00 h of day 0). In the first experiment the animals were divided into 5 groups depending on the day of ECS (14.00–16.00 h) and oestradiol benzoate (Oe) treatment (08.00–10.00 h): group No. 1) ECS on day 0; 2) no ECS; 3) ECS on day 1; 4) Oe on day 0 and ECS on day 1; 5) Oe on day 4 and ECS on day 5. Blood samples were collected from the external jugular vein under ether anaesthesia for LH determinations just before and 1 and 2 h after ECS. ECS on day 0 resulted in a significant (P<0.01) rise in plasma LH at 1 and 2 h, while the rats subjected to CD, but not ECS failed to show any changes in plasma LH levels. ECS on days I and 5 (groups 3 and 5) failed to alter plasma LH levels, however, ECS on day 1 in Oe treated rats produced a significant (P < 0.01) elevation in plasma LH that was comparable to that of day 0. In a second experiment Oe was injected on days 1–5 and ECS of the ARC-ME was done bilaterally. ECS on day 5 resulted in a significant (P < 0.05) rise in plasma LH levels in rats with a completely deafferented MBH. In animals with an incomplete deafferentation ECS resulted in a much greater (P < 0.005) rise in plasma LH at l and 2 h. Since LH was released several days after complete hypothalamic deafferentation, these data suggest that LRH secreting cells may be present within the MBH of the rat. In a third experiment injection of LRH (400 ng) on days 0, 1 and 5 with Oe on days 0, 4 or 1–5 resulted in a significant (P < 0.001) rise of plasma LH at 30 and 60 min in all groups. Rats injected on day 0 showed the greatest elevation at 60 min in all groups. Saline injected rats did not show any changes in plasma LH levels.

Phlebotomy is essential for diagnosis and assessment of disease progression and treatment response. Blood samples with traditional techniques can be difficult to obtain from or refused by those with hard-to-access peripheral veins, especially people who inject drugs (PWID). Many PWID are infected with the blood-borne viruses, such as hepatitis C, which can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. Blood samples to support the diagnosis and management of these conditions can be taken using external jugular venepuncture (EJV), which avoids risks of multiple attempts, damage to the veins or accidentally accessing an artery. This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to prepare the patient for EJV, find the external jugular vein and safely collect a blood sample. It also assesses the limited evidence available to support its use by nurses.

Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of regular physical exercise on cortisol concentration and oxygen-dependent bactericidal activity of neutrophils in peripheral blood in recreational and competitive sport horses (racehorses - Ra, trotters - T, jumping horses - J, driving horses - D). The study was conducted on 55 clinically healthy horses. Blood samples were collected from the external jugular vein three times: before exercise, immediately after exercise, and after 30-min rest. Blood samples were subjected to haematological examination, cortisol concentration was determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and neutrophil oxygen metabolism of neutrophils was determined using a chemiluminescence method. The analysis showed that cortisol concentration was significantly higher (P<0.05) post-exercise only in the blood of sport horses. This finding, along with a significant correlation (P<0.00005) with the heart and respiratory rates, suggests that the magnitude of cortisol secretion is associated with the intensity and duration of exercise. The relatively small post-exercise increase in cortisol concentration during different exercises of horses resulted in a transient increase of chemiluminescence activity of neutrophils, mainly in D (P<0.00001) and J horses (P<0.01). In the studied groups analysis of the correlation between cortisol concentration and other parameters showed significant correlation only in the case of the CL total in T (P<0.02) and D horses (P<0.004). It is therefore apparent that in a limited concentration, this hormone may stimulate the activity of these cells, although the effect of other neurohormonal factors cannot be excluded. This result confirms that regular and moderate training loads have a beneficial effect on the immunological status of horses.

A technique to enable long-term blood sampling from piglets aged 2-3 months is described. Piglets were housed individually in expandable cages and a heparinized polyurethane catheter was inserted into the external jugular vein. A technique was used which prevented the catheter from pulling out of the vein with growth of the animals. Blood samples could be obtained for more than 1 month, and levels of cortisol, glucose, white blood cell count, haematocrit, rectal temperature and heart rate were compared for samples obtained from simulated conventional venepunctures and from the cannula using this technique. It was shown that restraint and needle pricks raised these levels considerably.

SUMMARY Milk-ejection activity (oxytocin) was assayed in the external jugular vein blood of cows, goats and sows during milking or suckling. The hormone was extracted from blood plasma by gel filtration, followed by lyophilization and then assayed in the lactating guinea-pig by the increase in intramammary pressure after intra-arterial injection. Serial blood samples were taken during machine milking of cows which had been accustomed to the milking routine and blood sampling procedure. The stimulus most consistently followed by a transient appearance of oxytocin in the jugular vein blood was the application of the teat cups. In some cases, there was a second release of oxytocin, later in the milking process, unrelated to any apparent stimulus. There was no evidence in these experiments of any conditioning of oxytocin release to visual, auditory or olfactory stimuli associated with the milking routine. Serial blood samples were taken during hand-milking of goats which had been accustomed to the milking routine and blood sampling procedure. Oxytocin was detected in jugular vein blood in only a minority of experimental milkings. Irrespective of whether oxytocin was found in the jugular blood the milk yield at the experimental milking did not differ appreciably from the value to be expected from comparable milkings for the preceding week. Serial blood samples were obtained from sows during suckling, the animals having been accustomed to the presence of the experimenter and the blood sampling procedure. In most of the experimental sucklings oxytocin was found in the blood. The occurrence of the hormone was transient and it was usually released just before the milk-ejection phase. In most of the cases in which no hormone was detected in the blood the piglets obtained no milk as judged by their behaviour. The results suggest that in the cow and sow the milk-ejection reflex is a neurohormonal reflex involving the release of oxytocin. On the other hand, in the goat, provided the animals are carefully hand-milked, normal milk yields can be obtained without the release of oxytocin.

This study was performed to unmask the haematological alterations in Trypanosoma evansi infected cattle. Blood samples from 50 Trypanosoma infected and 50 non-infected from Anand and Mahisagar districts were collected for the present study. Animals were bled from the jugular vein into 10 ml vacutainers containing EDTA for the estimation of various haematological parameters. The haematological parameters of cattle infected with T. evansi revealed decreased Hb, PCV, TEC, MCV, MCH and blood glucose level also (40.67±1.71 vs. 70.76±1.73 mg/dl), and increased TLC and MCHC than those of non-infected healthy cattle. The neutrophil and eosinophil counts were significantly increased (P less than 0.01) from 37.06±0.95 to 41.44±1.03, 4.47±0.25 to 7.97±0.24 % indicating eosinophilia and neutrophilia in infected cattle. Lymphocyte count was significantly (P less than 0.01) reduced from 54.55±1.01 to 46.96±0.65 % indicating lymphocytopenia, while monocytes level increased non significantly and basophils level increased significantly in infected cattle over healthy ones.

The aim of the present study was to know the normal haemato- biochemical profiles of black Bengal goats in Bangladesh. Blood samples were collected from Jugular vein of 20 Black Bengal goats which were divided into 5 groups (4 goats in each group) on the basis of age, sex, nutritional and feeding status. The whole blood was analyzed for hematology, plasma and serum samples for biochemical analysis. The results of the present study demonstrate the normal haemato-biochemical values of the Black Bengal goat breeds with their age specificity. Total RBC (15.15 ± 1.29 million/cumm), haemoglobin (7.04 ± 1.02 g/dl), total WBC (11.64 ± 1.12), differential leukocyte counts of neutrophils (70.89 ± 2.06%), lymphocyte (23.79 ± 1.69%), eosinophil 2.1%), basophil (2.3%), MCV (35.04 ± 0.47) and PCV (26.98 ± 1.49%). This study also reveals the normal bio-logical profile counts as total protein (69.47±2.31 g/L), Albumin (42.47 ± 2.31g/L), Globulin (27.32g/L), Phosphorus (3.46 ± 1.19), blood Urea (22.97 ± 0.58), Creatinine (0.645mg/dl), ALT (20.32U/L), ALP (91.59 U/L), GGT (37.46 U/L), IgG (18.91 ± 1.14 g/L), IgM ( 2.87 ± 0.18g/L), gA (.031 ± 0.12g/L) and IL-6 (1.69±0.15g/ml). The study found higher number of RBC (million/cumm), WBC (Thousands/cumm), and PCV% in the goats of age 3 years and above (18.02 ± 1.27, 14.72 ± 1.19, and 28 ± 3.2), respectively. Besides, Neutrophils% and total protein was found higher (76.289 ± 14.5%, 77.52 ± 8.43 g/L), respectively in the Black Bengal goats of 6 months to 1 year age. Present results stated some significant variation of parameters between goats of various ages; on the other hand, some shows no significant variation at all. Res. Agric., Livest.
