Preliminary evidence for a forestomach washing mechanism in llamas (Lama glama)
No full textAbstract Dust and grit are ingested by herbivores in their natural habitats along with the plants that represent their selected diet. Among the functions of the rumen, a washing of ingesta from adhering dust and grit has recently been demonstrated. The putative consequence is a less strenuous wear on ruminant teeth by external abrasives during rumination. The same function should theoretically apply to camelids, but has not been investigated so far. We fed six llamas ( Lama glama ) a diet of grass hay and a lucerne-based pelleted food in which fine sand had been included at about 8% of ingredients, for ad libitum consumption for 6 weeks. Subsequently, animals were slaughtered and content of the different sections of the gastrointestinal tract was sampled for the analysis of dry matter (DM), total ash, and acid detergent insoluble ash (ADIA, a measure for silica). Additionally, two of the animals were subjected to whole-body computer tomography (CT) after death in the natural sternal resting position. No clinical problems or macroscopic changes in the faeces were observed during the experimental period. The results indicate an accumulation of ADIA in the C3 compartment of the stomach complex, in particular in the posterior portion that is the equivalent of the abomasum in ruminants. By contrast, contents of the C1, from which material is recruited for regurgitation and rumination, were depleted of ADIA, indicating that the contents had largely been washed free of sand. The washing effect is an unavoidable side effect of the flotation- and sedimentation-based sorting mechanisms in the ruminant and the camelid forestomachs. In theory, this should allow ruminants and camelids to live in similar habitats as nonruminant herbivores at lower degrees of hypsodonty.Abstract Dust and grit are ingested by herbivores in their natural habitats along with the plants that represent their selected diet.

Two-dimensional grayscale ultrasound and spectral Doppler waveform evaluation of dogs with chronic enteropathies
No full textSonography is an important diagnostic tool to examine the gastrointestinal tract of dogs with chronic diarrhea. Two-dimensional grayscale ultrasound parameters to assess for various enteropathies primarily focus on wall thickness and layering. Mild, generalized thickening of the intestinal wall with maintenance of the wall layering is common in inflammatory bowel disease. Quantitative and semi-quantitative spectral Doppler arterial waveform analysis can be utilized for various enteropathies, including inflammatory bowel disease and food allergies. Dogs with inflammatory bowel disease have inadequate hemodynamic responses during digestion of food. Dogs with food allergies have prolonged vasodilation and lower resistive and pulsatility indices after eating allergen-inducing foods
Comparison of left and right ventricular stroke volume of dogs calculated on the basis of morphology and blood flow determined by use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
No full textOBJECTIVE To compare stroke volume (SV) calculated on the basis of cardiac morphology determined by MRI and results of phase-contrast angiography (PCA) of ventricular inflow and outflow in dogs. ANIMALS 10 healthy Beagles. PROCEDURES Cardiac MRI was performed twice on each Beagle. Cine gradient echo sequences of both ventricles in short-axis planes were used for morphological quantification of SVs by assessment of myocardial contours. From the long-axis plane, SVs in 4-chamber and left ventricular 2-chamber views were acquired at end diastole and end systole. For calculation of SV on the basis of blood flow, PCA was performed for cardiac valves. RESULTS Mean ± SD values for SV quantified on the basis of blood flow were similar in all valves (aortic, 17.8 ± 4.1 mL; pulmonary, 17.2 ± 5.4 mL; mitral, 17.2 ± 3.9 mL; and tricuspid, 16.9 ± 5.1 mL). Morphological quantification of SV in the short-axis plane yielded significant differences between left (13.4 ± 2.7 mL) and right (8.6 ± 2.4 mL) sides. Morphological quantification of left ventricular SV in the long-axis plane (15.2 ± 3.3 mL and 20.7 ± 3.8 mL in the 4- and 2-chamber views) yielded variable results, which differed significantly from values for flow-based quantification, except for values for the morphological 4-chamber view and PCA for the atrioventricular valves, for which no significant differences were identified. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE In contrast to quantification based on blood flow, calculation on the basis of morphology for the short-axis plane significantly underestimated SV, probably because of through-plane motion and complex right ventricular anatomy
Preemptive Search and R&D Clustering Revisited
Full text linkThe results obtained by Cardon and Sasaki (1998) on R&D clustering are derived under the specific assumption that firms only can own one patent. When multiple patents are allowed, R&D clustering will come about more frequently if search costs are substantial.R&D clustering; persistence of monopoly
Quantitative Auswertung von Skelettszintigrammen mittels der „Regions of Interest“-Technik an der kaudalen Halswirbelsäule des Pferdes: Quantitative Auswertung von Skelettszintigrammen mittelsder „Regions of Interest“-Technik an der kaudalenHalswirbelsäule des Pferdes
Full text linkIm Rahmen der szintigraphischen Untersuchung der Halswirbelsäule gibt es unterschiedliche Aussagen zum physiologischen
Speicherungsverhalten, insbesondere der kaudalen Facettengelenke. Eine Objektivierung der Szintigramme und Ermittlung von
Normalbereichen der entsprechenden Speicherquotienten ist
daher wichtig und stellt das Ziel dieser Arbeit dar. Zur Untersuchung kamen dafür 31 Pferde, bei denen es sich um Patienten der Chirurgischen Tierklinik in Leipzig aus dem Jahr 2008 handelte. Falls bei einem Pferd eine Lahmheit der Vordergliedmaße vorhanden war, wurde mit Hilfe der klinischen und szintigraphischen Untersuchung, sowie mittels diagnostischer Anästhesien als deren Ursache die Halswirbelsäule ausgeschlossen. Alle Pferde wiesen eine freie Beweglichkeit des Halses in alle Richtungen auf. Zur Bildung von Speicherquotienten wurden die als Interessenareale dienenden Facettengelenke C3/C4 bis C7/Th1, sowie der Wirbelkörper des sechsten Halswirbels zu verschiedenen Referenzarealen ins Verhältnis gesetzt. Als Referenzareale wurden dabei der Wirbelkörper des dritten und des vierten Halswirbels, sowie das auch als Interessenareal dienende Facettengelenk C3/C4 getestet. Anschließend wurden Normalbereiche für die Speicherquotienten ermittelt.
Nach sonographischer Muskeldickenmessung über den Facettengelenken wurden deren Speicherquotienten mit Hilfe einer Formel auf einen Nullwert korrigiert, und für diese korrigierten Werte wurden ebenfalls Normalbereiche ermittelt. Es zeigte sich, dass die Speicherquotienten nach der Muskeldickenkorrektur gegenüber den nativen Speicherquotienten eine größere Streuung aufwiesen und somit größere und ungenauere Normalbereiche hervorbrachten. Dementsprechend sollten die nativen Speicherquotienten bevorzugt werden. Als das am besten geeignete Referenzareal für die Interessenareale C4/C5 bis C7/Th1 erweist sich hierbei die Isokontur-ROI auf dem Facettengelenk C3/C4. Für das Interessenareal C3/C4 eignet sich sowohl der Vergleich mit dem Referenzareal C3, als auch der mit dem Referenzareal C4. Das Interessenareal auf dem Wirbelkörper C6 wird am besten zum Referenzareal C4 ins Verhältnis gesetzt. Hervorzuheben sind die nativen Werte der Normalbereiche für die Gelenke C5/C6 und C6/C7, da hier am häufigsten röntgenologische Veränderungen zu finden sind. Sie betragen für das Gelenk C5/C6 auf der linken Halsseite 0,82-1,10 und auf der rechten Halsseite 0,86-1,10. Für das Gelenk C6/C7 beträgt der Normalbereich für die linke Halsseite 0,75-1,23 und für die rechte Halsseite 0,81-1,17.
Zusammenfassend ist zu sagen, dass die quantitative Auswertung mittels der „Regions of Interest“-Technik an der Halswirbelsäule durchaus möglich ist und mit dieser Arbeit akzeptable Normalbereiche für die Facettengelenke C3/C4 bis C7/Th1 und für den Wirbelkörper C6 ermittelt werden konnten. Es fehlen nun noch Werte von Pferden mit einer klinischen Halswirbelsäulenproblematik, um die Aussagekraft der
hier ermittelten Normalbereiche zu überprüfen
