America 2006: sopravviveranno i conservatori alla fine dei neocons?
No full textIn the aftermath of US midterm elections that took place in November 2006, an analysys on the state of the conservative movement and the Republican Party. Notwithstanding the crisis of the "Neoncons", the electoral coalition shaped during the Reagan years is still well alive. The election results were a temporary setback due not only to the war in Irak but also to the economy
Effect of pimobendan on left atrial function: an echocardiographic pilot study in 11 healthy cats
No full textObjectives: – To evaluate the effect of a single dose of pimobendan on left atrial (LA) function in healthy cats. Animals: – Eleven client owned healthy cats. Material and methods: – Standardized and repeated echocardiographic examinations were performed on healthy and conscious cats before and after a single dose of orally administered pimobendan (1.25 mg/cat). Left atrial systolic functional parameters were assessed. Results: – Some of the tested parameters of LA function showed significant improvement after pimobendan administration, whereas no significant effect on left ventricular function was observed. In particular, LA minimal diameters obtained from M-mode images in short (p=0.018) and long (p=0.009) axis reduced after pimobendan administration, whereas LA fractional shortening from short (p=0.027) and long (p=0.042) axis and LA appendage emptying velocity (p<0.001) significantly increased. A mild increase in heart rate (p=0.001), and a transient increase on the peak systolic wave pulmonary vein velocity (p=0.008) were also recorded as a possible effect. Conclusions: – A single dose of pimobendan appears to impact LA function in healthy cats. However, because of the small number of cats included, and the absence of a placebo group, these results cannot be definitively separated from the effect of time. Additional studies are needed to understand if similar effects are observed in cats with cardiomyopathy and LA dilatation
Two-dimensional, M-mode, and Doppler echocardiography in 22 conscious and apparently healthy pet guinea pigs
No full textObjectives: The objective of this study was to report normal echocardiographic values in healthy guinea pigs. Animals, materials, and methods: Twenty-two privately owned, apparently healthy, conscious guinea pigs underwent complete transthoracic echocardiography. Left ventricular (LV), right ventricular, left atrial, and aortic root dimensions were measured, as were forward flow velocities across the mitral, aortic, and pulmonic valves. The effects of age, body weight, sex, and heart rate on these variables were also investigated. Results: The median age (interquartile range) was 3.0 (1.8–4.0) years with a body weight of 902 (822–998) grams. Echocardiography was feasible in all conscious animals. Early and late diastolic transmitral flow waves were summated in 17 of 22 individuals. In the remaining five animals, the two waves were reversed (E wave-to-A wave velocity less than 1.0). A positive correlation was detected between body weight and LV internal diameter at end-diastole and end-systole and left atrial diameter (P < .05). Heart rate was negatively correlated with LV internal diameter at end-systole (r = −.463, P = .035). Age was positively correlated with LV posterior wall thickness at end-diastole and aortic diameter (P < .05). LV internal diameter at end-systole was larger in males than in females (P = .012), while fractional shortening was lower (P = .008). Conclusions: Descriptive echocardiography ranges in apparently healthy awake guinea pigs have been provided and can be used for cardiac assessment in these pet animals
