ABSTRACT Infection with the stomach worm Physaloptera spp. in dogs can cause chronic vomiting, although the diagnosis is often difficult owing to a low worm burden, single-sex infections, a failure to produce ova, or ova that are of greater density than solutions routinely used for qualitative fecal flotation. A retrospective evaluation was performed of 27 dogs that had gastric Physaloptera spp. infection confirmed endoscopically. In 23 of 27 dogs (85.2%), chronic vomiting was the chief complaint, and Physaloptera was an incidental finding in 3 dogs with esophageal or gastric foreign bodies. The worm burden was low (1–3 worms) in 21 dogs (77.8%), but 2 dogs were infected with large numbers (>50 worms). Prior therapy with routine doses of anthelmintics was ineffective in eight dogs prior to endoscopy. A higher dose and longer duration of fenbendazole in combination with pyrantel pamoate is recommended for treatment of suspected or confirmed infections. Reinfection is common in some dogs and should not be viewed as treatment failure.

Diverse foreign bodies may become lodged in the aerodigestive tract, and the discovery of such foreign bodies is an expected scenario for health-care practitioners. The foreign body insertion may be accidental or deliberate, and the object may be organic or inorganic. Most accidental foreign body aspirations occur in children, and some such cases are potential threats that go unnoticed. Very few cases of foreign bodies in the nasopharynx have been reported. Herein, we describe an unusual case in which a foreign body in a child’s nasopharynx went unnoticed for 1 year and was detected intraoperatively.

I FEEL DEEPLY HONORED to be named as one of the recipients of the 1962 Mead Johnson Awards for research in pediatrics. I am grateful for this opportunity to express my indebtedness and gratitude to the many who have aided me, and especially to my sponsor, Dr. Louis K. Diamond. His unwavering confidence and unselfish support were major contributing factors toward the successful completion of these research efforts. Lack of time prevents me from giving an adequate list of those other teachers and associates who contributed significantly toward my research efforts and training, but time can never be so short as to prevent me from mentioning my stimulating and energetic co-worker, Dr. Mary Efron. I have saved to the last, mention of my wife, as she has so often cheerfully been the vital silent partner of experiments that seemed always to last "just a little longer" than I expected. In order to make this a coherent presentation, I am going to dwell solely upon the "Hb M diseases." This group of hemoglobinopathies is characterized by the presence of cyanosis in several generations of a given family, being transmitted as if determined by the presence of a single abnormal gene (i.e., "dominant" inheritance). In the first family of this disorder that came to our attention, the cyanosis was an incidental finding in a child whose chief complaint was an obscure peripheral neuritis. There seemed to be little relation between the peripheral neuritis and the cyanosis, since the child's brother, father, paternal aunt and other relatives also were cyanotic (Fig. 1), although lacking any neuritis.

No Abstract AvailableIdiopathic juxtafoveolar telangiectasisis a descriptive term for various disease entities presenting with incompetence, ectasia, and/or irregular dilations of the capillary network affecting only the juxtafoveolar region of one or both eyes. A 65 years male presented with the chief complaint of painless progressive diminution of vision in his left eye for 6 months' duration. Past ocular, surgical, medical, drug and family history was non contributory. The patient was non hypertensive and non diabetic. His best corrected visual acuity was 6/60 right eye and 6/36 left eye. Right eye, fundus was grossly normal whereas, on the left eye, few microaneurysms and circinate pattern of hard exudates were noticed on the perifoveolar region. Fundal reflex was dull and the foveal depression was absent indicating thickening. Fluorescein angiography showed clusters of telangiectatic vessels around exudates, hyperfluorescent dots of microaneurysms with a circinate pattern of leakage in the late phase. Optical coherence tomography showed macular thickening of 487 micrometer with cystoid changes. Injection Bevacizumab 0.2ml was given after final diagnosis of Left Eye Idiopathic Juxtafoveolar Telangiectasis Type 1A. Three types of idiopathic juxtafoveolar telangiectasis has been defined. Its pathophysiology is also less understood and the treatment modalities are not established yet.This case was an incidental finding, as these patients do not oftenly have profound diminution of vision, unless neovascularization has occurred and the clinical features too are very subtle.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jucms.v2i3.11827 Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences Vol.2(3) 2014: 38-40

Feminist organizations, like many other interest groups and advocacy organizations, have increasingly turned to the rulemaking process to create meaningful policy change. Although rulemaking is an attractive policy-making venue for feminists because it provides them with an opportunity to bypass congressional gridlock and interact with more women policy makers than they might in Congress, the existing literature does not address how and when feminist organizations' participation in rulemaking is influential. To examine this question for the first time, I analyze a sample of the 5,860 comments that the U.S. Department of Education received in response to its 2004 proposed rule allowing for public single-sex education programs and the department's justifications for its proposed and final rules. Specifically, I ask whether findings from the rulemaking literature showing that organizations can encourage bureaucrats to change their proposed rules when they submit large numbers of high-quality, homogenous, opposing comments hold for feminist organizations in a redistributive policy area. The findings indicate that when bureaucrats receive multiple sets of high-quality homogenous comments, they are more likely to side with commenters who support their initial proposals and/or partisan and ideological positions.

Full Maturity

Experimental studies in mice have shown that with single sex female infections of S. mattheei there is a slow maturation of the worms with evidence of incomplete parthenogenesis; at 9 weeks no eggs were produced but at 17 weeks there was an average of 500 eggs per mouse. These were all non viable. Under similar conditions S. mansoni females failed to produce eggs.When the females of S. mattheei were paired with males of S. mansoni, the females reached full maturity and produced large numbers of eggs typical of their own species-many of the eggs were non viable but some contained active miracidia.It is considered that this is an example of parthenogenesis and not hybridisation. Cross specific pairings of schistosomes must occur frequently in man particularly with S. haematobium, S. mansoni and S. mattheei and this phenomenon could be of considerable clinical, epidemiological and biological significance. Parthenogenesis in mixed infections probably accounts for the large number of non-viable S. haematobium eggs seen in rectal biopsies, and it may also be important in reducing the transmission potential of schistosomes to man since cross pairing must result in the “sterilisation” of a considerable proportion of the female worms in mixed infections. This phenomenon may also explain the observed reproductive isolation of schistosome species which simultaneously infect the same host.
