| normative data for pigeon vision. | normative data are reported for the visual acuity, luminance-difference threshold and size-difference threshold of pigeons (columba livia). the mean visual acuity was 12.66 c/deg or 2.53 min (n = 54), the mean log luminance-difference threshold was 0.11 (n = 105) and the mean size-difference threshold was 0.94 mm (n = 20). | 1985 | 4090287 |
| [hexamitiasis in carrier pigeons in the netherlands]. | hexamitiasis in carrier pigeons caused by hexamita columbae was reported for the first time in the netherlands. infections tend to occur from april to july in 6-8 week old birds. the patients were affected with diarrhoea, became emaciated and died. mortality may be considerable. parasites may be identified in unstained wet specimens of very fresh droppings. treatment consists in administration of ronidazole during a period from seven to ten days. optimum hygiene should be observed. | 1985 | 4089854 |
| topographic representation of visceral target organs within the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve of the pigeon columba livia. | our previous work (katz and karten, '83a j. comp. neurol. 217:31-46 demonstrated that the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve (dmn complex) in the pigeon is composed of cytoarchitecturally distinct subnuclei that are distinguished by the size, shape, position, and cytochemical characteristics of their constituent neurons. in view of the diversity of target organs innervated by the vagus nerve, we sought to determine whether the subnuclear heterogeneity of the dmn complex is related to the pa ... | 1985 | 4086668 |
| effect of oestradiol dipropionate on the immune system of the pigeon, columba livia. | influence of female sex hormone, oestradiol dipropionate on the humoral and cell-mediated immune (cmi) responses of pigeon, columba livia of different age groups and of both sexes were studied. the pigeons were administered with the hormone, immunized with sheep red blood cells (srbc) and rosette forming cell (rfc), haemagglutinin (ha) and migration inhibition (mi) assays carried out on different days post-immunization. the hormone showed a differential effect: while the rfc and ha were enhanced ... | 1985 | 4085675 |
| [anti-p1 production in the blood of columba domestica]. | after intravenous immunization of six rabbits with washed red cells from a pigeon (columba domestica), anti-p1 of very good quality was obtained after 8-12 injections. the sera indicate human blood cells of type p1 equally well as do anti-p1 of goat (immunized with echinococci cyst fluid). | 1985 | 4084282 |
| [relationship between nystagmus and utricular function]. | the horizontal neck nystagmus arising in response to angular acceleration was recorded electromyographically in pigeons (columba livia). after bilateral section of the utricular nerves (roumuli utriculi) the nystagmic reactions to the right and to the left remained symmetrical although they were delayed when compared to the reactions of intact animals. unilateral section of the utricular nerves caused asymmetric reactions from the semicircular canals: the nystagmus toward the dissected nerve was ... | 1985 | 4068649 |
| ultrastructure of the pineal cells of the homing pigeon columba livia and magnetic fields (first trials). | the homing pigeon columba livia was exposed to uniform 60 hz ac magnetic fields, generated by helmholtz coils with an intensity of 200 mg for 48 hrs. the microscopic studies performed revealed that only some of the pineal cells (between 20 and 30%) seemed to respond to the magnetic stimulation, and showed different ultrastructural morphological changes; the most striking effect was an apparent increase of apocrine secretion to the luminal spaces in the epiphyseal epithelium of this avian species ... | 1985 | 4067285 |
| emg activity in pectoral and femoral muscles during spinal cord cooling in exercising pigeons. | adult domestic pigeons, with thermodes chronically implanted in the vertebral canal, were trained to walk on a treadmill. in the first series of experiments, emg activity in a pectoral (m. pectoralis) and a femoral muscle (m. biceps femoris) was measured to determine if shivering could occur during exercise. when the spinal cord was cooled (36.2 +/- 0.5 degrees c) during exercise (0.6 km/h), pectoral muscle emg activity increased by 80%, while femoral muscle emg activity did not change significa ... | 1985 | 4059027 |
| direction-selective single units in the nucleus lentiformis mesencephali of the pigeon (columba livia). | the receptive field properties of single units within the nucleus lentiformis mesencephali (lm) of the pigeon were studied using electrophysiological methods. previous studies have suggested that the avian lm may be homologous to the nucleus of the optic tract (not) in mammals. single units in the pigeon lm are similar to mammalian not units in that they are direction-selective, mostly for horizontal directions, velocity-selective, have large visual receptive fields and respond preferentially to ... | 1985 | 4054266 |
| presence of immunoreactive melatonin in different tissues of the pigeon (columba livia). | the distribution of melatonin was studied at midday and midnight in pigeon plasma, pineal, hypothalamus, eyes, harderian glands, and duodenum. tissue samples were homogenized, extracted with chloroform, evaporated, and measured by our melatonin radioimmunoassay (ria). all the extracts gave dilution curves parallel to that of synthetic melatonin and eluted in reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (hplc) as synthetic melatonin indicating that the immunoreactivity was due to endogeno ... | 1985 | 4039280 |
| safety and efficacy of clavulanate-potentiated amoxycillin in pigeons (columba livia). | pigeons treated orally with 125 mg clavulanate-potentiated amoxycillin for seven days showed no adverse reactions. the drug had a marked depressive effect on the faecal flora but this had returned to normal 10 days after cessation of treatment. when administered to pigeons with an experimental staphylococcus aureus infection of the feet no clinical response was apparent and there was no evidence of a diminution in the inflammatory process. | 1985 | 4035095 |
| experimental transfer of trichomonas gallinae (rivolta, 1878) from white-winged doves to mourning doves. | isolates of trichomonas gallinae (rivolta, 1878) from white-winged doves, zenaida asiatica (l.), were transferred experimentally to young mourning doves, zenaida macroura (l.). twenty-three of 25 mourning doves developed infections with isolates of t. gallinae from 25 white-winged doves. in addition, eight of eight rock doves (columba livia gmelin) were infected with duplicate isolates. all infected recipient birds harbored avirulent isolates except for one mourning dove which died from extensiv ... | 1985 | 4032621 |
| a quantitative approach to cytoarchitectonics. x. the areal pattern of the neostriatum in the domestic pigeon, columba livia f.d. a cyto- and myeloarchitectonical study. | the areal pattern of the neostriatum of the domestic pigeon, columba livia f.d., is described in detail. the map was completed with the help of cyto- and myeloarchitectonical studies during which both qualitative and quantitative methods were applied. the map is divided into 16 areas which are characterized in this paper. most of these areas can be interpreted as being not only structural but also functional units. the areas ne 1, ne 7, and ne 12 represent primary projection fields. the areas ne ... | 1985 | 4014723 |
| an unusual case of lead poisoning in a honey buzzard (pernis apivorus). | the diagnosis and treatment of a case of lead poisoning in a honey buzzard (pernis apivorus) are described. presenting signs were diarrhoea and weakness. lead poisoning was suspected after radiography and confirmed by measuring the lead concentration in a venous blood sample. comparison values of venous lead concentrations in healthy racing pigeons (columba livia) were established. a method for the removal of lead shor from the gizzard of birds with a bronchoscope and grasping forceps under fluo ... | 1985 | 4013056 |
| electrocardiogram of the racing pigeon (columba livia domestica). | using standard limb leads electrocardiograms (ecgs) were recorded in 60 pigeons. the greatest amplitude of the p wave was observed in lead ii in the majority of ecgs. the predominant pattern of the p wave was positive in leads i and ii, biphasic (-/+) in lead iii, negative in avr, biphasic (+/-) in avl and positive in avf. a ta wave was observed in 50 out of 60 tracings. wenckebach's phenomenon was observed in three different pigeons. in lead i the qrs pattern was rs or qs. in leads ii, iii and ... | 1985 | 4012029 |
| studies on phosphagen synthesis by mitochondrial preparations. | mitochondrial preparations from muscles of a crab (cancer pagurus), two fish (trachurus trachurus and scyliorhinus canicula) and a bird (columba livia) are able to synthesise, through atp, the phosphagen related to that species. this indicates the presence of a bound phosphagen kinase. addition of creatine kinase and creatine to crab mitochondria results in the synthesis of phosphocreatine. similarly, the addition of arginine kinase and arginine to mitochondrial preparations from the fish and bi ... | 1985 | 4006444 |
| variations in ascorbic acid concentrations in the liver, gonads, kidney, and blood serum of feral blue rock pigeon (columba livia gmelin) during the breeding and nonbreeding seasons. | to elucidate the possible involvement of ascorbic acid in gonadal steroidogenesis and role of gonadal steroids on the vitamin's turnover, ascorbic acid levels were quantified in the liver, gonads, kidney, and blood serum in both sexes of the indian feral blue rock pigeon (columba livia gmelin) during the breeding (march to april) and nonbreeding (june to july) seasons. low concentrations were observed during the breeding season and significantly higher cencentrations during the nonbreeding seaso ... | 1985 | 3991426 |
