Introduction In cattle, lesions in the sole usually attributed to laminitis include haemorrhages in the horn, double soles, ulcers in the sole and toe, haemorrhage and separation of the white line, as well as deformation of the whole surface (“dropped sole”) (Ossent and others, 1997). Other authors used the term claw horn disruption (CHD) (Clarkson and others, 1996; Hoblet and Weiss, 2001). Usu...

A 2-year experiment on the effect of claw trimming on hoof health was performed in 77 Swedish dairy herds (3444 dairy cattle) selected on herd size, breed composition and membership in the official milk-recording scheme. In the autumn, cows within each herd were blocked according to breed, parity and stage of lactation and allocated to two treatments: autumn trimming (AT) or no autumn trimming ...

Site and appearance of retinal haemorrhages Retinal haemorrhages occur when there is extravasation of blood, either into the retina itself (intraretinal), between the retina and the retinal pigment epithelium (subretinal), or between the retina and the hyaloid face of the vitreous body (subhyaloid or preretinal). The shape and colour of the haemorrhages are determined by the level or levels of ...

Abstract Electric stimulation was used in the North Sea beam trawl fishery for common sole to reduce its environmental impact. Because electrical may cause internal injuries fish, a laboratory experiment conducted study effect of pulse exposure on lesser sandeel (Ammodytes tobianus) and greater (Hyperoplus lanceolatus), important mid-trophic species ecosystem. We exposed 244 sandeels between tw...

29 definite intracranial haemorrhages and 4 suspected ones occurred during a 25-month period during which 10 072 live infants were born. There were 4 subdural haemorrhages (all fatal), 4 isolated subarachnoid haemorrhages (2 fatal), and 21 intraventricular haemorrhages (all fatal--2 beyond the neonatal period). There was no evidence of a causal relation between intraventricular haemorrhage and ...

We propose an algorithm for the detection of Haemorrhages from Diabetic Retinopathy images. The algorithm proceeds through three main steps 1. Color image enhancement 2.Image subtraction to extract blood vessels and haemorrhages and 3.Use of set of optimally adjusted morphological operators to suppress blood vessels and to highlight only haemorrhages. These automatically detected haemorrhages a...
