INTRODUCTION Clinicians are confronted with considerable difficulties in diagnosing conversion disorders such as dissociative paraplegia. In the literature, there is still no sufficient evidence regarding a typical pattern or general characteristics for this neuropsychiatric syndrome. Over the last decades case reports have described patients with similar personality traits, psychopathological ...

Introduction For decades thiobarbiturates have been used to induce and maintain short term (15 30 minutes) general anesthesia in equids. Thiamylal is no longer commercially available, at least in the United States, but use of thiopental remains widespread. In earlier years these ultrashort acting barbiturates were the agents of choice to induce short term recumbency in tranquilized horses. Late...

In most of the recent scientific and clinical literature, dissociation has been equated with dissociative amnesia, depersonalization, derealization, and fragmentation of identity. However, according to Pierre Janet and several World War I psychiatrists, dissociation also pertains to a lack of integration of somatoform components of experience, reactions, and functions. Some clinical observation...

The present study aims to verify whether dogs and cats submitted dissociative anesthesia for elective orchiectomy may alterations in the tear production consequent lesions on ocular surface. For this purpose, 40 animals, 22 18 dogs, underwent an ophthalmic semiotechnique composed of evaluation anterior posterior chambers, fundscopy, Schirmer's test (TLS) fluorescein test. Subsequently, they ane...

ABSTRACT Luxation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in horses, despite being an uncommon condition, is often associated with local trauma involving head. Its clinical importance mainly related to painful injury and impairment multiple movements involved chewing breaking foods. The objective current work describe manual reduction technique TMJ dislocation a 6-year-old Mangalarga Marchador sta...

X-ray photoelectron and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopic (XPS-HREELS) studies have shown that the adsorption of carbon dioxide at Mg(100) surfaces at 80K is followed by a dissociative reaction leading to the formation of a metastable surface carbonate above 80K. The formation of a carbonate species is proposed to proceed through oxidation of C0 (g) by an active oxygen su...

conclusions the findings of this study are in accordance with findings from previous studies, and generally show a meaningful association between schema, emotion regulation, dissociative experiences, and suicide ideation with borderline personality features. results the results showed a significant positive correlation between schema, emotion regulation, dissociative experiences and suicide ide...

We investigated intramuscular administration of alfaxalone (5.3–10.0 mg/kg) as an immobilizing agent in free-ranging small Indian mongooses (Urva auropunctata) on the island St. Kitts, West Indies. From 5–11 January 2020, we successfully immobilized 10 11 mongooses. Alfaxalone provided rapid onset (median = 3 min) immobilization. Mean duration immobilization was 16.8 ± min. recovery time 5.6 1 ...
