JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTo date, there has been no detailed analysis of the death of stallions, specifically the causes and situation.Therefore a retrospective study was conducted on the deaths of 53 Japanese thoroughbred stallions from 1966 to 2010. The study found that 16 horses experienced sudden death, 13 horses died following acute abdomen due to serious intestinal damage, and 11 horses were euthanized following fatal locomotory injuries. Sudden death was recorded for four horses and three horses in January and December, respectively, and two horses in each month from March to June. Five cases of sudden death took place in paddocks, four cases in covering yards, and seven cases in stalls. Autopsies and the subsequent histopathological examinations diagnosed acute cardiac failure based on the myocardial findings such as hemorrhage, swelling, fibrosis, and infarction in seven horses, aortic root rupture in four horses, and abdominal large artery rupture in two horses. For the remaining three horses, no pathological explanation for the death could be found. Consequently, the risk of sudden death in thoroughbred stallions may increase in winter and during the open season for mating, and could mainly be associated with acute cardiovascular disorders.View full abstractDownload PDF (353K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA Holstein calf, manifesting clinical signs of left hind limb extension, staggering gait, circling to the left side,and head tremor, was investigated clinically and pathologically. Since we could not detect any remarkable lesion in a head CT scan examination, we suspected the presence of spinal cord lesions. Necropsy revealed a duplication of the spinal cord at the level from T13 to the lumbosacral segment. Pathologically, the calf was diagnosed with diplomyelia. In Japan, to our knowledge, diplomyelia has been reported in only a few cases of Japanese black cattle. This case indicates the possibility that diplomyelia may also occur in a Holstein calf.View full abstractDownload PDF (311K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA 15-month-old intact male Labrador Retriever presented with hematuria and pollakiuria. On physical examination, a lower abdominal mass was palpated. Abdominal ultrasonography and contrast cystography revealed a urinary bladder mass that extended over the entire trigonal area. A total cystectomy was performed, and embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma was diagnosed by histopathological examination of the bladder. Postoperatively, the dog received a single dose of systemic chemotherapy, which was not continued at the owner’s request. At the time of this report, 6 years after the cystectomy, the dog was free of recurrence and metastasis and had maintained good health.View full abstractDownload PDF (402K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSBalloon dilation of urethral strictures were performed on four dogs with urine-based tumors as a minimally invasive and palliative treatment. The dogs exhibited complete resolution of clinical signs immediately after treatment and their condition remained stable for approximately two months. Side effects were temporary and no clinical problems were noted. Additional cases are necessary to enable consideration of the optimal procedure with respect to dilation pressure and complications from this treatment.View full abstractDownload PDF (292K)

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAn epidemiological investigation into Tsutsugamushi disease in Shimane Prefecture was conducted using human clinical samples and rodent samples. A serological examination reveals Orientia tsutsugamushi serotype Karp as the dominant infectious serotype in patients. From sequence typing of Orientia tsutsugamushi, Orientia tsutsugamushi Japanese Karp type 2 (JP-2), Japanese Gilliam (JG), and Yeo-joo reported in Korea were detected from clinical specimens. As both JP-2 and JG types of Orientia tsutsugamushi have been observed in Apodemus speciosus in Shimane Prefecture, it is likely that Apodemus speciosus is the reservoir of these pathogenic Orientia tsutsugamushi in the natural environment.View full abstractDownload PDF (377K)
