Deslorelin for the treatment of hair cycle arrest in intact male dogs
No full textBackground – Hair cycle arrest (alopecia X) refers to a canine alopecic condition of unknown pathogenesis, characterized by symmetrical, nonpruritic and noninflammatory alopecia that spares the head and distal extremi- ties.
Hypothesis/Objectives – The objective of this study was prospectively to evaluate the efficacy of a 4.7 mg deslorelin implant in the treatment of intact male and neutered female dogs affected by hair cycle arrest.
Animals – Ten Pomeranian dogs (eight intact males, two neutered females), four Italian spitz (three intact males, one neutered female), three miniature poodles (two intact males, one neutered female), two Siberian huskies (both intact males) and one intact male chow chow dog with confirmed hair cycle arrest were included in the study.
Methods – Each dog was treated with a subcutaneous sterile implant containing 4.7 mg deslorelin. Responder dogs were re-implanted 6 months after the first implant in order to obtain a 1 year pharmacological exposure and 1 year of follow-up.
Results – Hair regrowth was visible within 3 months in 12 of 16 intact male dogs (75%); no hair regrowth was noted in any neutered female dogs. The overall response to therapy was 60%. No adverse effects were noted.
Conclusions and clinical importance – These findings suggest that deslorelin may be a treatment option for
intact male dogs with idiopathic hair cycle arrest
Dermatomyositis-like disease in a Rottweiler
No full textBackground – Canine dermatomyositis is a hereditary disease described in collies and Shetland sheep dogs and
their cross-breeds. A similar disease, called dermatomyositis-like disease, has been described occasionally in
other breeds but never in the Rottweiler.
Hypothesis/Objectives – We report on the clinicopathological findings associated with dermatomyositis-like
disease in a Rottweiler.
Animal – A 7-month-old female Rottweiler was referred for dermatological abnormalities, regurgitation and
weakness. Cutaneous abnormalities included alopecia, crusting and scaling on the inner surface of the pinnae,
the tip of the tail, periorbital and perilabial skin. The dog also presented onychogryphosis and onychalgia.
Methods – Complete blood count, serum biochemistry panel, thoracic radiographs, electromyography, nerve-
conduction studies and skin and muscle biopsies were performed.
Results – Megaoesophagus, pneumonia, ischaemic dermatopathy and generalized myositis were documented.
The final diagnosis was dermatomyositis-like disease.
Conclusions and clinical importance – This is the first report of dermatomyositis-like disease in a Rottweiler

Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

No full textVariations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
