Authors: Zivin Kara , Kim H. Myra , McCarthy John F. , Austin Karen L. , Hoggatt Katherine J. , Walters Heather , Valenstein Marcia 
Published: October 2007

Objectives. We sought to report clinical and demographic factors associated with suicide among depressed veterans in an attempt to determine what characteristics identified depressed veterans at high risk for suicide.Methods. We used longitudinal, nationally representative data (1999–2004) to determine suicide rates among depressed veterans, estimating time until suicide using Cox proportional hazards regression models.Results. Of 807694 veterans meeting study criteria, 1683 (0.21%) committed suicide during follow-up. Increased suicide risks were observed among male, younger, and non-Hispanic White patients. Veterans without service-connected disabilities, with inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations in the year prior to their qualifying depression diagnosis, with comorbid substance use, and living in the southern or western United States were also at higher risk. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with comorbid depression was associated with lower suicide rates, and younger depressed veterans with PTSD had a higher suicide rate than did older depressed veterans with PTSD.Conclusions. Unlike the general population, older and younger veterans are more prone to suicide than are middle-aged veterans. Future research should examine the relationship between depression, PTSD, health service use, and suicide risks among veterans.

Authors: Greene Shawna N. , Lucroy Michael D. , Greenberg Chelsea B. , Bonney Patty L. , Knapp Deborah W. 
Published: October 2007

Abstract
Objective—To evaluate the antitumor activity and toxic effects of a conservative dose of cisplatin administered in combination with piroxicam to dogs with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder.
Design—Clinical trial (nonrandomized, noncontrolled).
Animals—14 client-owned dogs with histologically confirmed TCC of the urinary bladder.
Procedures—Each dog was treated with cisplatin (50 mg/m2, IV, q 21 d [reduced to 40 mg/m2, IV, q 21 d because of toxic effects]) and piroxicam (0.3 mg/kg [0.14 mg/lb], PO, q 24 h). A CBC, serum biochemical analyses, and urinalysis were performed prior to each cisplatin treatment. Tumor staging (determined from thoracic and abdominal radiographic and urinary bladder ultrasonographic findings) was performed before treatment and at 6-week intervals during treatment.
Results—5 dogs received only 1 dose of cisplatin because of the rapid progression of disease (n = 2) or toxic effects (3). With regard to the neoplastic disease among the other 9 dogs, 1 had partial remission, 5 had stable disease, and 3 had progressive disease after 6 weeks of treatment. Median progression-free interval was 78 days (range, 20 to 112 days). Median survival time was 307 days (range, 29 to 929 days). Moderate to severe renal toxicosis and moderate to severe gastrointestinal toxicosis developed in 5 and 8 dogs, respectively.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Because of minimal efficacy and associated renal and gastrointestinal toxicosis, administration of cisplatin (40 to 50 mg/m2) with piroxicam cannot be recommended for treatment of dogs with TCC of the urinary bladder.
Prevalence of and intrinsic risk factors for appendicular osteosarcoma in dogs: 179 cases (1996–2005)
Authors: Rosenberger Julie A. , Pablo Norma V. , Crawford P. Cynda 
Published: October 2007

Abstract
Objective—To determine the prevalence of appendicular osteosarcoma (OSA) in Greyhounds compared with other breeds and identify potential intrinsic risk factors associated with development of OSA.
Design—Retrospective case series.
Animals—179 dogs with primary appendicular OSA.
Procedures—Medical records of dogs in which primary appendicular OSA had been diagnosed between 1996 and 2005 were reviewed. Prevalence and crude odds ratios for OSA were calculated for various breeds by comparison with a reference population of mixedbreed dogs. Age and sex were examined as potential risk factors for the 3 breeds with highest prevalence.
Results—Breed period prevalence of OSA was highest for Greyhounds (21/339 [6.2%]), followed by Rottweilers (51/969 [5.3%]) and Great Danes (13/297 [4.4%]); all 21 Greyhounds with OSA were identified as having retired from racing. Sex was not identified as a risk factor for OSA in these breeds, but in all 3 breeds, risk of OSA increased with age. Greyhounds were significantly older at the time of OSA diagnosis (mean, 9.9 years) than were Rottweilers (8.3 years) and Great Danes (7.8 years). Rottweilers and Great Danes were more likely to have OSA involving the forelimbs than the hind limbs. The most frequent lesion sites for all 3 breeds were the proximal end of the humerus and distal end of the radius. The proximal end of the femur was also a common site for the Greyhounds.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Results of the present study suggested that Greyhounds, Rottweilers, and Great Danes had an increased risk of developing OSA, compared with mixed-breed dogs.
Diagnostic imaging findings and endocrine test results in dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism that did or did not have neurologic abnormalities: 157 cases (1989–2005)
Authors: Wood Farica D. , Pollard Rachel E. , Uerling Megan R. , Feldman Edward C. 
Published: October 2007

Abstract
Objective—To compare imaging findings in dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH) that did or did not have neurologic abnormalities.
Design—Retrospective case series.
Animals—157 dogs with PDH that did (n = 73) or did not (84) have neurologic abnormalities.
Procedures—Medical records were reviewed for the presence and nature of clinical signs of CNS disease, and computed tomographic and magnetic resonance images were reviewed for evidence of a pituitary tumor.
Results—60 of the 84 (71%) dogs without neurologic abnormalities and 48 of the 73 (66%) dogs with neurologic abnormalities had a detectable pituitary tumor. However, 17 of the 84 (20%) dogs without neurologic abnormalities had a pituitary macrotumor (ie, a tumor ≥ 10 mm in height), and 41 of the 73 (56%) dogs with neurologic abnormalities did not have a detectable pituitary tumor or had a pituitary microtumor. Vague signs of CNS dysfunction (ie, lethargy, inappetence, and mental dullness) were more specific for detection of pituitary macrotumors than were CNS-specific signs (ie, seizure or blindness).
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Results suggested that there was no apparent relationship between a pituitary tumor and development of neurologic abnormalities in dogs with PDH. In addition, neurologic abnormalities in dogs with pituitary macrotumors were often vague (ie, lethargy, inappetence, and mental dullness).
Effect of hyperimmunization with an Escherichia coli J5 bacterin in adult lactating dairy cows
Authors: Erskine Ronald J. , VanDyk Elizabeth J. , Bartlett Paul C. , Burton Jeanne L. , Boyle Michael C. 
Published: October 2007

Abstract
Objective—To determine the effect of hyperimmunization with an Escherichia coli J5 bacterin on serum IgG2 concentration, incidence of clinical mastitis, and rate of survival to the end of the lactation period (ie, day 305) in adult lactating dairy cattle.
Design—Randomized controlled trial.
Animals—1,012 Holstein cows in their second lactation and greater.
Procedures—All cows were given 3 doses of the J5 bacterin; cows in the hyperimmunization group were given an additional 3 doses during the first 3 months of lactation. Blood was collected from a small sample of cows to determine anti-J5 IgG2 concentrations.
Results—Cows in the hyperimmunization group had higher mean serum anti-J5 IgG2 concentrations than did control cows 28 days after administration of the fourth, fifth, and sixth doses of the J5 bacterin. However, mean serum anti-J5 concentrations during the subsequent lactation were not significantly different between groups. The proportions of cows that developed clinical mastitis were not significantly different between groups. However, control cows were more likely to have severe clinical mastitis than were cows in the hyperimmunization group. The percentage of control cows that remained in the herd to day 305 was significantly lower than the percentage of cows in the hyperimmunization group that did.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Results suggested that hyperimmunization of mature lactating dairy cattle was associated with increased serum anti-J5 IgG2 concentrations and decreased incidence of severe clinical mastitis, but did not alter survival rate of cows that developed severe clinical mastitis.
Fatal gastrointestinal parasitism in goats: 31 cases (2001–2006)
Authors: Valentine Beth A. , Cebra Christopher K. , Taylor George H. 
Published: October 2007

Abstract
Objective—To evaluate signalment, history, clinical and pathologic findings, and seasonal weather patterns in association with fatal gastrointestinal parasitism in goats.
Design—Retrospective case series.
Animals—152 goats that were > 1 day of age.
Procedures—Characteristics including age and counts of coccidia oocysts and trichostrongyle ova (eggs) per gram of feces (EPG) in goats that died because of gastrointestinal parasitism and goats that died because of other causes were compared. Weather data and annual incidence of caprine fatal gastrointestinal parasitism were investigated.
Results—Death was attributed to gastrointestinal parasitism in 31 of 152 (20%) goats (median age, 5 months; range, 1 month to 7 years); deaths were attributed to coccidiosis (n = 7 goats; median age, 4 months; median EPG, 2,225), trichostrongylosis (6 goats; median age, 1.25 years; median EPG, 3,700), or dual infection (18 goats; median age, 6.7 months; median EPG, 8,088 coccidia and 5,475 trichostrongyles). Sudden onset of weakness or death was a common historical finding; diarrhea was evident in 15 goats. Common postmortem findings in these goats included cachexia, tissue pallor, poorly formed feces, and mesenteric lymphadenomegaly. Wet weather in spring and summer was associated with increased annual incidence of fatal gastrointestinal parasitism in goats.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance—Gastrointestinal parasitism is an important cause of death in goats. Clinical signs may not develop until just prior to death, and diagnosis is achieved via parasitologic evaluation of feces and necropsy. Seasonal weather patterns should be considered on an annual basis when designing parasite control programs for goats.

Instituting Europe: Germany, the Union, and the Legacy of the Short Century
Authors: Werz Michael 
Published: October 2007

Recent debates about the future of the European Union have focusedin large part on institutional reforms, the deficit of democratic legitimacy,and the problem of economic and agrarian policies. As importantas these issues may be, the most crucial question at the momentis not whether Europe will prevail as a union of nations or as a thoroughlyintegrated federal structure. What is of much greater concernis the fact that political structures and their corresponding politicaldiscourses have lagged far behind the social changes occurring inEuropean societies. The pivotal transformation of 1989 has not beengrasped intellectually or politically, even though its results areincreasingly visible in both the east and west.
Erich Auerbach's Mimesis as a Meditation on the Shoah
Authors: Richards Earl Jeffrey 
Published: October 2007

Within the enormous body of critical writings dedicated to literaryworks devoted to the Shoah, the possibility of its very representationand the problems arising in the potential deformation of memoryare frequent topics. In light of these issues, it might be helpful toexamine a well-known work of literary scholarship, Erich Auerbach’sMimesis, The Representation of Reality in Western Literature, writtenbetween May 1942 and April 1945, as a potentially overlookedexample of a highly sublimated allegorical meditation on the contemporarymurder of Europe’s Jews. Auerbach’s classic work, whichexplicitly takes literary representation as its central theme, seems touse carefully and subtly selected examples from western literature asfigures for current events.

The German Model Reconsidered
Authors: Kwon Hyeong-ki 
Published: October 2007

The German model of political economy that had been an enviablealternative to the liberal market until the late 1980s in the literature ofpolitical economy was under serious structural crisis throughout the1990s, causing serious doubts about its viability. Many neoliberalsand industrial experts in Germany began to doubt whether Germanywas an attractive place for business activity, initiating the StandortDeutschland debate. Even German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder conceded“the end of German model.”1 Many political economists andjournalists expected and recommended imitating the Americanmodel of a liberal market. Prominent German newspapers and magazinessuch as the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Der Spiegel, and DieWoche ran articles titled “The Discovery of America” and “Jobwunderin Amerika.” Wolfgang Streeck, one of the main proponents of theGerman model, expected the convergence of the German economytoward an American-led liberal market economy under globalizationbecause of “a secular exhaustion of the German model.” Streeckbelieved that the postwar German model was based on the politicsbetween labor and capital within a national boundary, but globalizationrepresents a fluidity of financial and labor markets that extricateswhatever coordination has been nationally accomplished.

The Transformation of German Multilateralism: Changes in Foreign Policy Discourse since Unification
Authors: Baumann Rainer 
Published: October 2007

When German foreign policy is being described, a reference to multilateralismis rarely ever omitted. Together with Westbindung, restraintin using military force, and a trading-state orientation, Germany’spreference for multilateral settings is recognized as one of the centralelements of its foreign policy. In recent years, a number of studieshave shown that, in contrast to realist expectations from the early1990s, the more powerful unified Germany has continued to embracethis multilateralism. This applies to Germany’s willingness to binditself to NATO and other European and Euro-Atlantic security institutions,1 to Germany’s policy within and vis-à-vis the EU,2 and to itsforeign policy on a global scale.
Political Culture in Unified Germany: The First Ten Years
Authors: Conradt David P. 
Published: October 2007

After ten years of research on Germany’s postunification politicalculture, there is no scholarly consensus on the critical questions ofeast-west differences, the impact of unification on western Germanculture, and developmental trends in the two regions. These questionshave become more acute in the light of decreased eastern economicgrowth, high unemployment, and growing evidence of aradical right-wing subculture in the new states.
What Remains? The Political Culture of an Unlucky Birth
Authors: McAdams A. James 
Published: October 2007

The future political culture of eastern Germany and, with it, the relationshipbetween unified Germany’s once divided populations willdepend heavily upon how all Germans respond to a distinctive factabout the east. The region experienced not one but, counting theGerman Democratic Republic (GDR), two separate eras of dictatorship.This fact can be, and has been, understood in two differentways, with significantly different implications in each case. The firstis the perspective of the victim. According to this view, the citizens ofthe GDR uniquely had to shoulder the burden of having been born,in effect, “in the wrong place.” Not only did they endure greaterhardships than their western counterparts, such as the rebuilding ofGermany after World War II, but they suffered by themselvesthrough the debilitating consequences of Soviet occupation and theirinability, until 1990, to act upon the right to “free self-determination”(to quote the original preamble of the Basic Law). As a result, accordingto this argument, easterners were owed special treatment afterunification because of their distinctive misfortunes.

In December 1995, the Center for German and European Studies atthe University of California at Berkeley hosted the conference, “ThePostwar Transformation of Germany: Prosperity, Democracy, andNationhood.” During the proceedings and in the edited volume thatresulted, conference contributors explored the reasons for Germany’ssuccess in making the transition to a liberal democratic politysupported by a rationalized national identity and a modern, dynamiccapitalist economy. In charting postwar Germany’s success, the contributorsweighed the relative contribution institutional, cultural, andinternational variables made to the country’s transformation.
The Culture of Culture: Toward a German Variant of Performative Democracy
Authors: Maier Charles S. 
Published: October 2007

Marcel Reich-Ranicki, the German literary critic, recalls in hisrecent memoirs that at age ten, when he set out from his small townin Poland, his teacher said with tears in her eyes, “Mein Sohn, Dufährst in das Land der Kultur.” Elias Canetti recalled in the first volumeof his memoir—The Tongue Set Free—how when he was age eight,his mother, recently widowed, found fulfillment at the Burgtheaterand left Manchester to take up residence in Vienna. Was it just themagic of the German language that transported these Jews and madeliterary overachievers of their children? A vision of metropolitan cultureand assimilation? Culture was “the way ‘in,’” as Louis Spitzerputs it in his book on marginality, Lives in Between.

Perhaps the most remarkable development in the Federal Republicof Germany since World War II has been the creation of its stabledemocracy. Already by the second half of the 1950s, political commentatorsproclaimed that “Bonn is not Weimar.” Whereas theWeimar Republic faced the proliferation of splinter parties, the riseof extremist parties, and the fragmentation of support for liberal andconservative parties—conditions that led to its ultimate collapse—theFederal Republic witnessed the blossoming of moderate, broadbasedparties.1 By the end of the 1950s the Christian DemocraticUnion/Christian Social Union (CDU), Social Democratic Party(SPD) and Free Democratic Party (FDP) had formed the basis of astable party system that would continue through the 1980s.
