1. Recurrence of Spontaneous Lung Lobe Torsion in a Pug

Author:
Sprankin, David B.; Gulikers, Keven P.; Lanz, Otto I.

Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association 2003 v.39 no.5 pp. 446-451
ISSN:
0587-2871
Subject:
animal injuries; cats; dogs; hernia; humans; surgery
Abstract:
... Lung lobe torsion (LLT) results from a displacement and twisting of a lung lobe around its bronchovascular pedicle. This relatively rare disorder affects dogs, cats, and humans. Etiologies include primary (i.e., spontaneous) and secondary torsion due to thoracic trauma, pleural space disease, thoracic surgery, pulmonary parenchyma disease, and diaphragmatic hernia repair. Although both spontaneous ...

Abstract:
... An assessment of elastase-substrate kinetics and adsorption at the solid–liquid interface of peptide-bound resin was made in an approach to the solid-phase detection of human neutrophil elastase (HNE), which is found in high concentration in chronic wound fluid. N-succinyl-alanine-alanine-proline-valine-p-nitroanilide (suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Val-pNA), a chromogenic HNE substrate, was attached to glycine- ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Multiple processes have been implicated in age-related delayed healing, including altered gene expression, intrinsic cellular changes, and changes in extracellular milieu (including hormones). To date, little attempt has been made to assess the relative contribution of each of these processes to a human aging phenomenon. The objective of this study is to determine the contribution of e ...

... Apolipoprotein D (ApoD) expression increases in several neurological disorders and in spinal cord injury. We provide a report of a physiological role for human ApoD (hApoD): Flies overexpressing hApoD are long-lived and protected against stress conditions associated with aging and neurodegeneration, including hyperoxia, dietary paraquat, and heat stress. We show that the fly ortholog, Glial Lazari ...

Abstract:
... Infestation of animal tissues by dipteran larvae (myiasis) commonly occurs in many species, but it is unusual for humans in temperate regions. Nevertheless, human myiasis is regularly observed in many primary care facilities in the United States. Beyond medical issues associated with treating human myiasis, both the causal agent and the longevity of myiasis can have legal implications, for example ...

Abstract:
... While studies in animal models have linked Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 signaling to kidney injury induced by ischemia and reperfusion, the relevance of TLR4 activation to allograft injury in human kidney transplants is unknown. Here we show that TLR4 is constitutively expressed within all donor kidneys but is significantly higher in deceased-, compared with living-donor organs. Tubules from decease ...

Abstract:
... Traumatic spinal cord injury is characterized by an immediate, irreversible loss of tissue at the lesion site, as well as a secondary expansion of tissue damage over time. Although secondary injury should, in principle, be preventable, no effective treatment options currently exist for patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI). Excessive release of ATP by the traumatized tissue, followed by act ...

Abstract:
... Human hyaluronidases have been considered to be the enzymes acting at the initial step in the catabolism of chondroitin sulfate (CS) in vivo. However, human hyaluronidase-1 digests CS more slowly than hyaluronan (HA), and its preferred substrate is HA rather than CS. We have identified a chondroitin hydrolase in Caenorhabditis elegans, which effectively degrades chondroitin but depolymerizes HA to ...
