feline herpesvirus 1 (fehv-1) and feline calicivirus (fcv), associated with upper respiratory tract disease, are highly prevalent in cats worldwide. with the aim of investigating the importance of fehv-1 in a population of cats, samples were taken in a hospital in ahvaz, south-west iran, between june 2007 and june 2008. oropharyngeal, nasal and ocular swabs were collected from 65 domestic cats,...

Data from 14 U.S. feedlots January 1, 2017, through De­cember 31, 2020, were evaluated for disease treatment on the probability of being terminally diagnosed with heart (HD). The study objective was two-fold: 1) determine as­sociation between number bovine respiratory (BRD) treatments (0,1,2,3+) and HD, 2) common feedlot (AIP, BRD, Complex Disease, GI+Bloat, Other), cohort demographics HD. anal...

Abstract Introduction Early vaccination of cattle with an inactivated commercial bacterial vaccine against bovine respiratory disease has been reported to increase antibody production and can alleviate the disease. However, its dosage little investigated in young Holstein calves. This study addresses need establish guide values for these animals. Material Methods Healthy calves received Histoph...

BACKGROUND The diagnostic tools for bovine respiratory disease diagnosis include clinical inspection, thoracic auscultation, and ultrasonography. HYPOTHESIS Thoracic auscultation and clinical examination have limitations in the detection of lung consolidation in dairy calves. ANIMALS Prospective cohort of 106 preweaned calves from 13 different dairy herds (10 with a history of active bovine...

Pneumonia Virus of Mice (PVM) is related to the human and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pathogens, and has been used to study respiratory virus replication and the ensuing inflammatory response as a component of a natural host—pathogen relationship. As such, PVM infection in mice reproduces many of the clinical and pathologic features of the more severe forms of RSV infection in huma...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the pathogenicity of Parachlamydia (P.) acanthamoebae as a potential agent of lower respiratory tract disease in a bovine model of induced lung infection. Intrabronchial inoculation with P. acanthamoebae was performed in healthy calves aged 2-3 months using two challenge doses: 10(8) and 10(10) bacteria per animal. Controls received 10(8) heat-inactivated b...

background: pulmonary rehabilitation is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary, comprehensive intervention for patients with chronic respiratory diseases who are symptomatic and whose daily living activities are often restricted. pulmonary rehabilitation programs are designed to improve the physical and emotional condition of people with chronic respiratory disease and to promote long-term adhere...

results fifty-seven patients were enrolled; 35 patients (62.5 %) were male. the mean of etco2 and paco2 of patients were 41.49 ± 9.80 and 64.74 ± 9.76, respectively. the mean of paco2 was significantly more than the means of etco2 in patients with copd. the association between arterial bicarbonate and etco2 was weak and not significant (p = 0.136 and r = 0.04). conclusions capnography can be us...
