Animal: Hedgehog, four-toed hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris), approximately 5 months, male. Diagnosis: Heart: Severe, multifocal, myocardial mineralization. Description: Numerous white streaks were present in the myocardium.. Comments: The hedgehog died after a sudden onset of apathy and dyspnea.. Necropsy revealed severe renal fibrosis with multiple renal cysts and uremia, hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands consistent with secondary hyperparathyroidism and a generalized fibrous osteodystrophy consistent with renal osteodystrophy. Severe, multifocal, chronic-active, lymphoplasmacytic and suppurative endocarditis and epicarditis were found associated with the myocardial mineralization. In addition, elastic fibers of several major arteries and various skeletal muscles fibers were multifocally mineralized.. Based on the findings at necropsy it remains unclear whether the renal lesion was congenital or acquired. Renal osteodystrophy is the result of hyperparathyroidism secondary to ...

Pathologists use light microscopes for the diagnosis of diseases in tissue sections on glass slides since the development of the modern pathology by Rudolf Virchow in 1858. However, the rapid development of information technology during the last three decades is now also reaching this sanctuary of pathology as they have reached almost all aspects of modern life.. The new technologies of digital pathology allow for the digitization of glass slides, to visualize them on the screen, analyze them automatically and to exchange this information rapidly via networks. Digital pathology has been integrated in some pathological routine labs already and it is expected to be an integral component of veterinary pathology in the future.. Our group is currently evaluating and validating the potential of digital pathology in diagnostics, research and education and aims at developing new approaches for the automated image analysis of histological and cytopathologic specimens.. References:. ...

In diagnostic and research reports as well as text-books of human and veterinary pathology repeatability, reproducibility, inter- and intra-observer variation are mentioned rarely as a problem in preparing diagnosis from macroscopic and/or microscopic samples and discussed inconsistently. However, optimal care and restoration of health for a patient are dependent on reliability of diagnosis, therapy, prognosis and prophylaxis. This requires for all tests and procedures a maximal repeatability and reproducibility, a sensitivity and specificity of 85-95% for procedures and methodologies and a comparison of results procedures and methodologies to a gold standard. Looking at the various steps on the road to diagnosis in pathology this is influenced by a series of laboratory steps preparing tissue samples but most importantly reproducibility depends on the handling of visual information in the central nervous system of the individual diagnostician. Thus reproducibility in this context has to be ...

Histopathology, with the associated pathology report will give your veterinarian the diagnosis of tumor type and status that helps to indicate how the tumor is likely to behave. The veterinary pathologist usually adds a prognosis that describes the probability of local recurrence or metastasis (distant spread).. Well-differentiated, benign, solitary mast cell tumors are cured by surgical removal, even in elderly cats. However, there is a tendency for cats to develop multiple, apparently primary, sequential mast cell tumors, some of which are benign and some not. Multiple tumors disappear within a few months in young cats but the situation in older cats is less certain.. Some feline mast cell tumors have features indicating potential malignancy. Multiple tumors are common and the tumors usually recur or spread to other sites in 2 to 3 months. Tumors often involve the lymph nodes but do not necessarily spread to internal organs or other sites. The presence of tumors in the internal organs does not ...

Gene mutation in dogs offers clues for neural tube defects in humans - Veterinary scientists identified a gene related to neural tube defects in dogs.

Veterinary Diagnostic Pathology is our business and our passion. The company was established in 1995 and is wholly owned and operated by its Veterinary Surgeon directors.

Accurate diagnosis relies upon microscopic examination of tissue. To obtain the appropriate samples, your veterinarian may recommend one or more of various sampling techniques such as needle aspiration, punch biopsy and full excision of the suspect tumor. Cytology is the microscopic examination of cell samples. This is useful for rapid or preliminary screening to guide surgery. Histopathology is the microscopic examination of tissue samples that have been specially prepared and stained. Histopathology will give the most accurate diagnosis and prognosis (prediction of behavior). Histopathology also rules out other diseases and forms of cancer. Your veterinarian will submit the samples to a specialized laboratory for examination and diagnosis by a veterinary pathologist. Although the submitted piece of tissue may be a small part of the mass (biopsy) or the whole lump, only by examining the entire lump will the pathologist be able to assess the whether the cancer has been completely ...

As a veterinary pathologist, my interests are many. Therefore, I am happy to provide pathology support for researchers and clinicians working in several disciplines. I have worked for over 13 years with several members of the Department of Radiology, who perform in vivo studies designed to optimize minimally invasive cancer treatments (high intensity ultrasound and cryoablation) using MR guided methodologies. Real time MRI post-treatment monitoring is a critically important tool that can be used to accurately visualize and document the exact location of thermal and cryo lesions, as well as the extent of tissue damage created by these treatments. In order for clinicians to adjust and re-direct their cancer treatments, they must be able to interpret regional target tissue viability (i.e. the appearance of acutely dead/effectively treated vs sub-lethally damaged/ineffectively treated tissue) using real-time MR imaging modalities. My charge is to analyse the macroscopic and microscopic pathology in ...

Abstract. Thirteen-week and 2-year drinking water studies conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) reported that hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) induced diffuse epithelial hyperplasia in the duodenum of B6C3F1 mice but not F344 rats. In the 2-year study, Cr(VI) exposure was additionally associated with duodenal adenomas and carcinomas in mice only. Subsequent 13-week Cr(VI) studies conducted by another group demonstrated non-neoplastic duodenal lesions in B6C3F1 mice similar to those of the NTP study as well as mild duodenal hyperplasia in F344 rats. Because intestinal lesions in mice are the basis for proposed safety standards for Cr(VI), and the histopathology data are relevant to the mode of action, consistency (an important Hill criterion for causality) was assessed across the aforementioned studies. Two veterinary pathologists applied uniform diagnostic criteria to the duodenal lesions in rats and mice from the 4 repeated-dose studies. Comparable non-neoplastic intestinal lesions ...

Cancer is often suspected from clinical signs. X-rays, ultrasound and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or CT (computerized tomography) scans may be useful in detecting the tumors, including metastases.. To identify the tumor type precisely, it is necessary to examine the tumor itself. This involves exploratory surgery, often with total removal of the tumor. After removal, the tissue samples are submitted for microscopic examination by histopathology. Specially prepared and stained tissue sections are made at a specialized laboratory where the slides will be examined by a veterinary pathologist.. The histopathology report typically includes words that indicate whether a tumor is benign (non-spreading, local growth) or malignant (capable of spreading to other body sites). These, together with the origin or type of tumor, the grade (degree of resemblance to normal cells or differentiation) and stage (how large it is and extent of spread) indicate how the cancer is likely to behave.. The ...

In the early 1920s, there was an outbreak of a previously unrecognized cattle disease in the northern United States and Canada. Cattle were haemorrhaging after minor procedures and on some occasions, spontaneously.[81] For example, 21 out of 22 cows died after dehorning and 12 out of 25 bulls died after castration. All of these animals had bled to death.[82]. In 1921, Frank Schofield, a Canadian veterinary pathologist, determined that the cattle were ingesting moldy silage made from sweet clover, and that this was functioning as a potent anticoagulant.[81] Only spoiled hay made from sweet clover (grown in northern states of the USA and in Canada since the turn of the century) produced the disease.[83] Schofield separated good clover stalks and damaged clover stalks from the same hay mow, and fed each to a different rabbit. The rabbit that had ingested the good stalks remained well, but the rabbit that had ingested the damaged stalks died from a haemorrhagic illness. A duplicate experiment with a ...

Trigeminal-mediated headshaking is an idiopathic neuropathic facial pain syndrome in horses. There are clinical similarities to trigeminal neuralgia, a neuropathic facial pain syndrome in man, which is usually caused by demyelination of trigeminal sensory fibers within either the nerve root or, less commonly, the brainstem. Our hypothesis was that the neuropathological substrate of headshaking in horses is similar to that of trigeminal neuralgia in man. Trigeminal nerves, nerve roots, ganglia, infraorbital, and caudal nasal nerves from horse abattoir specimens and from horses euthanized due to trigeminal-mediated headshaking were removed, fixed, and processed for histological assessment by a veterinary pathologist and a neuropathologist with particular experience of trigeminal neuralgia histology. No histological differences were detected between samples from horses with headshaking and those from normal horses. These results suggest that trigeminal-mediated headshaking may have a different pathological

Replied on 04/19/2011 Dogs with Cushings Disease (hyperadrenocorticism) often have suppressed immune systems because of the increased amount of cortisol in their bloodstreams produced by their adrenal glands. Wounds that would usually heal quickly in a normal patient may not heal or may get a secondary bacterial infection easily in a Cushings patient. It is also possible that this isnt just a benign cyst but a more malignant variant. Its probably best to have your dog rechecked by her veterinarian. If her hyperadrenocorticism has been well controlled previously its possible it no longer is and she needs an adjustment in her medication or that she has developed complications, such as diabetes, secondary to her Cushings disease. If all looks normal on her bloodwork its probably best to have this cyst surgically removed and a biopsy evaluated by a veterinary pathologist to make sure it isnt malignant. -Kara, DVM ...

veterinary pathologist with the UC Davis Mountain Gorilla One Health Program who has studied gorilla diseases for more than 25 years.. The two gorillas described in the new study were members of the Hirwa group living in Rwanda. In 2008 and 2009, this group experienced outbreaks of respiratory disease, with various amounts of coughing, eye and nose discharge, and lethargy. In the 2009 outbreak, the Hirwa group consisted of 12 animals: one adult male, six adult females, three juveniles and two infants. All but one were sick. Two died: an adult female and a newborn infant.. Tissue analyses showed the biochemical signature of an RNA virus called human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infecting both animals that had died. While the adult female gorilla ultimately died as a result of a secondary bacterial pneumonia infection, HMPV infection likely predisposed her to pneumonia. HMPV was also found in the infant gorilla, which was born to a female gorilla that showed symptoms of respiratory disease.. The studys ...

SEBACEOUS ADENITIS. Three samples of skin and hair are obtained from our Breeding Poodles. These samples are examined by a Veterinary Pathologist and are found to be normal with no presence of sebaceous adenitis. We have diligently tested our poodles for this test in the past on a yearly basis. But find it to be a very invasive test and the results are only a snapshot of the skin on the poodle at that particular time. Having tested does not mean that the breeding dog may show symptoms of Sebaceous Adenitis at a later time. And it is not a given that their offspring may or may not have it. It is not a genetic test that offers a definitive result.. Click here for information about Sebaceous Adenitis and Standard Poodles.Sebaceous Adenitis. ...

Treatment may require radiation and surgery. (Chemotherapy does not work on infiltrative lipomas.) Infiltrative lipomas are fairly rare, but because of the difficulty in treatment, you should always have new fatty lumps checked by your veterinarian ...

Monroe E. Wall, Chief Scientist at the Research Triangle Institute in Research Triangle Park, NC, died on July 6, 2002 at age 85. Together, we discovered the anticancer compound Taxol, which helped revolutionize modern cancer treatment. By isolating and elucidating the structure of this novel, bioactive natural product, we established new principles for discovering other bioactive compounds from natural sources. This discovery is directly credited with saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of cancer patients. Dr. Susan Band Horwitz, a friend of Dr. Wall, brought attention to Taxol by revealing that the drug stabilized microtubules, a new and unusual mechanism of action for an antitumor agent.. Born in 1916 in Newark, NJ, Dr. Wall received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. In 1941, he joined the Eastern Regional Research Laboratory, United States Department of Agriculture in Philadelphia, PA. From 1941 to 1960, Dr. Wall gained national recognition ...

Andrew Swift. (613) 957-2988. Dear David and Chris,. I am still waiting to hear from some folks, but I thought I would show you what I have found so far. The NIDA marijuana product is first grown by the University of Mississippi and then given to an organization called the Research Triangle Institute (RTI), a nonprofit organization based in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, that services government clients among others (http://www.maps.org/mmj/treatyanalysis.pdf ). RTIs website can be found at http://www.rti.org/index.cfm . Interestingly, they also synthesize and sell a variety of cannabinoids. On the following webpage you can see that they manufacture and sell synthetic delta-9-THC (8th chemical listed), as well as other cannabinoids.. http://www.rti.org/page.cfm?sec=4&focus=612&cat=618&topic=0&objectid=99617508-915B-4FA5-8E28C9F7BDEBB028. Although not conclusively demonstrating that NIDA marijuana is standardized with synthetic THC, the fact that this organization is also in the ...

Elion and Hitchings were awarded the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, not Chemistry, for their synthesis of antimetabolite drugs - analogs of nucleic acid bases that selectively killed tumor cells but became treatments for gout (allopurinol), herpesviruses (acyclovir), and HIV/AIDS (AZT; zidovudine).. Of interest to ACS readers and others interested in pharmaceutical history, the Elion-Hitchings Building is located almost directly across the Durham Freeway (NC-147) from the ACS National Historic Chemical Landmark at Research Triangle Institute, now RTI International. That landmark honors the discoveries of Taxol and camptothecin by the late Monroe Wall and still-spry Mansukh Wani.. One might ask why the Elion-Hitchings Building was never nominated for an ACS landmark. My guess is that many of the antimetabolite compounds synthesized by Elion and Hitchings were made before Burroughs-Wellcomes US facilities moved from New York to North Carolinas Research Triangle Park in 1970. After ...

I just attended Science Online 2011, an unconference that focuses on online tools and resources for science, especially in the social media aspect of science. A great deal of the discussions related to communication of science to the non-science community, with calls for more activism and clear voices to articulate the actions and processes of science clearly to the lay audience.. For the more technical minded, there were a few discussions of open data, data sharing, open notebook science and the like.. The conference was wonderfully organized in a great located (the Sigma Xi building in the Research Triangle Park). Bora and Anton are to be congratulated for putting together a meeting the way most of us want to have meetings - reasonably priced, meals included, buses to a from the hotels and venues, lots of time to mingle and talk, real discussion inside the sessions, etc.. Nonetheless, I came away from the meeting more depressed than when I arrived. This is a conference with a lot of younger ...
