| pyoderma caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in dogs: 20 cases. | in this report we describe the historical, clinical, histopathological and microbiological features, as well as treatments and clinical outcome, of pyoderma where pseudomonas aeruginosa alone was isolated on bacterial culture from lesional skin. twenty dogs were included in this retrospective study. seven dogs without prior history of systemic or skin disease presented with acute deep pseudomonal pyoderma characterized by a sudden onset of dorsal truncal pain. skin lesions in these dogs consiste ... | 2006 | 17083575 |

| diagnosis of ehrlichia ewingii infection by pcr in a puppy from ohio. | an 8-week-old, male, german shepherd-cross puppy found in southeastern ohio was presented to the ohio state university veterinary teaching hospital for evaluation of lameness and lethargy. fever and joint effusion involving multiple joints were identified on physical examination. results of a cbc included mild anemia, mature neutrophilia, monocytosis, and hyperglobulinemia. rickettsial morulae were identified within neutrophils in joint fluid and peripheral blood. both initial and convalescent s ... | 2009 | 19351337 |
| emergency and disaster planning at ohio animal shelters. | results of a cross-sectional study to determine the level of emergency and disaster response planning at ohio nonhuman animal shelters and the role ohio agencies have in emergency and disaster response planning in their communities indicated a lack of preparedness coupled with underutilization of the agencies as a resource. a total of 115 agencies (68%) responded to a standardized survey mailed to 170 ohio agencies. most (68%) agencies agreed that emergency and disaster response planning was imp ... | 2010 | 20017047 |
| a comparison of veterinary students enrolled and not enrolled in an animal-welfare course. | an online survey was conducted to compare 46 veterinary students who previously enrolled in a discussion-based animal-welfare elective with 45 veterinary students who did not take the course. students were asked a series of questions about their attitudes toward animal welfare and were presented with animal-use scenarios that had not previously been discussed in the elective course: greyhound racing, veal calf production, and the use of genetically engineered mice in research. for each scenario, ... | 2010 | 20378877 |
| streptomycetes in house dust: associations with housing characteristics and endotoxin. | abstract  in addition to mold, indoor bioaerosols also contain bacterial components that may have implications for human health. endotoxin is a cell wall component in gram-negative bacteria present at varying levels indoors that has been found to have respiratory health implications. streptomyces is a large genus of gram-positive bacteria, and some species have been shown to produce inflammatory reactions in vitro and in vivo. the aim of this study was to determine predictors of streptomycetes l ... | 2010 | 21204988 |
| presumptive meningoencephalitis secondary to extension of otitis media/interna caused by streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus in a cat. | a 5-year-old castrated male domestic longhair cat was presented with neurological signs consistent with a central vestibular lesion and left horner's syndrome. computed tomography images revealed hyperattenuating, moderately contrast-enhancing material within the left tympanic bulla, most consistent with left otitis media/interna. marked neutrophilic pleocytosis was identified on cerebrospinal fluid analysis. streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus (sez) was isolated from the cerebrospinal f ... | 2011 | 21640625 |
| Elective and emergency surgical management of adrenal gland tumors: 60 cases (1999-2006). | Sixty-one adrenal gland tumors were surgically removed from 60 dogs. Fifty-two dogs underwent elective adrenalectomy and 8 dogs underwent emergency adrenalectomy for acute adrenal hemorrhage. Size of adrenal tumors ranged from 10 mm to 80 mm. Histopathology confirmed a diagnosis of adrenocortical tumor in 47 dogs, 26 of which were malignant. Pheochromocytoma was diagnosed in 11 dogs. Six dogs had tumor invasion of the caudal vena cava. Of the seven dogs that did not survive the perioperative per ... | 2011 | 22058350 |
| traffic-related pollutants and wheezing in children. | background and aims. traffic related air pollutants from diesel engine exhaust are found in fine and ultrafine particulates. the cincinnati childrens allergy and air pollution birth cohort study was initiated to determine if early exposure to these pollutants increased risk for development of early atopic sensitization and allergic respiratory disease phenotypes in children. materials and methods. over 700 infants born to at least one atopic parent were recruited to participate in a birth cohort ... | 2012 | 22211400 |
| assessment of coyote-wolf-dog admixture using ancestry-informative diagnostic snps. | the evolutionary importance of hybridization as a source of new adaptive genetic variation is rapidly gaining recognition. hybridization between coyotes and wolves may have introduced adaptive alleles into the coyote gene pool that facilitated an expansion in their geographic range and dietary niche. furthermore, hybridization between coyotes and domestic dogs may facilitate adaptation to human-dominated environments. we genotyped 63 ancestry-informative single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 427 ca ... | 2014 | 24148003 |
