Magnetic resonance imaging features of presumed intracerebral hemorrhages in dogs show a significant association between apparent diffusion coefficient peripheral layer and estimated bleeding age and commonly exhibit a T2 blackout effect
No full textIn humans, intracranial hematomas commonly exhibit a T2 blackout effect (BOE) with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps. Published descriptions of comparable findings in dogs with intracerebral hemorrhages are lacking. Aims of this retrospective observational study were to describe the appearance of presumed intracerebral hemorrhages (PICHs) in DWI regardless of the underlying etiology and presence of T2 blackout effect (T2 BOE) in dogs and to test potential associations with DWI and ADC findings versus the estimated age of the hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance imaging studies of dogs with presumed PICHs based on the combined evaluation of T2*W gradient echo and/or susceptibility-weighted imaging, T1W and T2W images were enrolled. The age of the hemorrhage was estimated according to published criteria based on T1W and T2W sequences. The association between the age of the hemorrhage and the appearance of each finding (stratified or mixed), their signal intensities in DWI/ADC and the presence of the T2 BOE, was evaluated. A total of 35 PICHs were included: 13 of them were stratified and 22 had a mixed aspect. Only the ADC appearance of the peripheral layer in stratified PICHs was significantly associated with estimated age of the hemorrhage (p = .033), being hypointense in all hyperacute cases and hypo-/isointense in acute cases. The T2 BOE was present in 29/35 PICHs. The DWI sequences showed limited utility to date PICHs in this study population. As in humans, the T2 BOE was commonly seen in DWI and ADC maps of dogs with PICHs
Melania Trump – The First Lady of the United States
No full textკონფერენცია ეძღვნება მეიფლაუერის ხელშეკრულების დადების მე-400 წლისთავს/ The 2020 Annual conference of the American Studies is dedicated to the 400th Anniversary of the Signing of the Mayflower CompactIn the paper, the author tries to answer the question what role does Melania Trump play as the
First Lady of the United States in the Trump administration and the life of the country and how
she differs from her predecessors in this. Based on the original sources, it is concluded that in
the early years Melania Trump, unlike the other First Ladies, felt insecure, showed her
inexperience, was shy of her pronunciation of the English language, which was not native to
her. She also did not have her own program, but later she appeared under the name “Be Best”,
although it was criticized.
The coronavirus pandemic gave the First Lady the opportunity to find her new place in the
Trump administration's coronavirus response. Melania is one of several administration and
public health officials who will appear in new nationwide public service announcements, which
will educate Americans on how to protect themselves and others against Covid-19.
The new role of Melania Trump indicates that the First Lady was able to overcome the language
barrier, determined her place in the White House and is trying to play an active role in the
administration and, in general, in the life of the country
Fashion Leader Comparison: Michelle Obama and Melania Trump
No full textIn The Second Skin, author Marilyn Horn defines a fashion leader as someone who is admired, inspires fashion, and is important in society. Anyone in the public eye can be considered a fashion leader, especially the First Lady of the United States. The two most recent first ladies, Michelle Obama and Melania Trump, may be fashion leaders but their background and style varies greatly
Asymptomatic unilateral ovarian leiomyoma in a german shepherd bitch
No full textThis report shows for the first time clinical imaging (ultrasound and computed tomography), histological and immunohistochemical findings of an ovarian leiomyoma, coincidentally diagnosed in an asymptomatic unmated nulliparous ten year-old German shepherd bitch concurrently suffering from multiple mammary tumors. A thorough examination allowed the differentiation of ovarian leiomyoma from other spindle cell tumors. An accurate description of the diagnostic procedures useful in the managing of ovarian leiomyoma could provide valuable information to veterinary practitioners. Indeed, despite its rarity and nonspecific symptoms, ovarian leiomyoma may also affect the dog with an unknown potential risk

Small-sized newborn dogs skeletal development: radiologic, morphometric, and histological findings obtained from spontaneously dead animals
No full textBackground: Very little is known about neonatal skeletal development in small-sized purebred dogs. In order to
improve this knowledge, 27 spontaneously dead puppies belonging to small-sized breeds were enrolled in this
study for radiologic, histological and morphometric investigations.
Results: The appearance of the limb secondary ossification centers and the onset of their formation were clearly
observed by x rays and confirmed by histological evidences. Radiographic and anatomic measurements of limb
bones length and skull length and width were positively correlated with body weight and age of the subjects and
the body weight was positively correlated with radius bone mineral density, as demonstrated by dual-energy x-rays
absorptiometry.
Conclusions: These data provided original information on the growth of newborn small-sized breed dogs, and
suggest that cadavers may be useful to study skeletal development
Screening and Follow-up of Children Who Snore When Polysomnography Is Not Available
No full textWe read with great interest the article titled “The Role of Sleep Studies in Children Who Snore” by Ishman.1 In this article the author reaffirmed the importance of performing polysomnography in children with suspected sleep disordered breathing (SDB) before and especially after treatment because the risk of persistent obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) after surgery is high
Meanders of Fame. About Melania Burzyńska and More
No full textAutorka zastanawia się nad mechanizmami kariery twórcy ludowego w okresie PRL, biorąc pod uwagę przypadek Melanii Burzyńskiej. Przedmiotem namysłu jest zarówno dorobek, jak też biografia poetki z Podlasia. W artykule postawione zostaje pytanie, na ile aktywność literacka Burzyńskiej była autonomiczna, a w jakim stopniu zdeterminowana presją środowiska i miejskich elit, oczekujących od poetki, by realizowała „ludowy” model twórczości i życiorysu.The author reflects on the mechanisms of a folk artist’s career in the Polish People’s Republic, taking into account the case of Melania Burzyńska. The subject of reflection is both the output and the biography of the poet from Podlasie. The article poses the question to what extent was Burzyńska’s literary activity autonomous, and to what
extent was it determined by the pressure of the community and city elites, who expected the poet to follow the “folk” model of creativity and biography.Jolanta SZTACHELSKA, prof. dr hab., historyk literatury polskiej II połowy XIX wieku, związana z Uniwersytetem w Białymstoku, gdzie kieruje Katedrą Modernizmu Europejskiego i Badań Kulturowych.

Radiography, CT ‐angiography and post‐mortem findings in a foal with a congenital type 3 vascular ring anomaly
No full textCongenital vascular ring anomalies (VRA) have been occasionally described in horses. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case report providing radiographic and computed tomography (CT) findings of a congenital type 3 persistent right aortic arch (PRAA) in a foal. A 1.5 months old Franches-Montagnes colt was presented for growth retardation with a history of mild intermittent bilateral nasal discharge occasionally containing milk and coughing since birth. Thoracic radiographs and ultrasound, oesophagoscopy, positive contrast oesophagography and CT angiography were performed. A final diagnosis of persistent right fourth aortic arch, with left ligamentum arteriosum and aberrant left subclavian artery (type 3 VRA) and subsequent aspiration pneumonia was achieved. Due to the poor physical condition, the presence of severe aspiration pneumonia and most importantly the lack of a surgical option for a type 3 VRA, the colt was euthanised and the post-mortem examination confirmed the oesophagography and CT angiography findings
