Medical management of urinary calculi in a stallion with breeding dysfunction
Authors: Sertich Patricia L. , Pozor Malgorzata A. , Meyers Stuart A. , Brown J. Stanley 
Published: December 2023

Management of urolithiasis in horses varies depending on the size and number of calculi, their location in the urinary tract, sex of the patient, and availability of surgical facilities.
The recommended method for removal of cystic calculi in stallions and geldings is surgery; however, medical treatment consisting of lavaging the bladder and administering antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs may be successful if the calculi are small.
Seroepidemiologic study of Neospora caninum in dairy herds
Authors: Paré Julie , Fecteau Gilles , Fortin Madeleine , Marsolais Grégoire 
Published: December 2023

Objective
To identify risk factors associated with Neospora caninum infection in dairy herds in Québec and to estimate seroprevalence in case and control herds.

Design
Herd-based case-control and seroprevalence study.

Animals
3,059 cows from 24 case and 22 control dairy herds in Québec.

Procedure
Blood samples were obtained from each cow, and sera were tested, using an ELISA, for antibodies to N caninum. Owners of herds answered questionnaires requesting information on demographics and herd management practices. Seroprevalence was compared between case and control herds, using the Mann-Whitney test. Risk factors were compared between case and control herds, using logistic regression.

Results
All case herds and 73% of control herds had at least one seropositive cow. Median seroprevalence was significantly greater among case herds (22.5%) than among control herds (7.5%). Dogs were found most often and in greatest numbers on farms housing case herds compared with control herds during the past 3 years.

Clinical Implications
Although the exact role that dogs have in transmission of N caninum in dairy herds needs to be elucidated, dogs should have limited access to barns and cattle.(J Am Vet Med Assoc 1998;213:1595–1598)
Comparison of the effects of asparaginase administered subcutaneously versus intramuscularly for treatment of multicentric lymphoma in dogs receiving doxorubicin

Published: December 2023

Objective
To determine the effectiveness and safety of asparaginase administered SC versus IM for treatment of multicentric lymphoma in dogs receiving doxorubicin.

Design
Prospective study.

Animals
49 dogs with multicentric lymphoma

Procedure
Dogs were treated with doxorubicin every 3 weeks, for a total of 5 treatments, and were given 3 weekly treatments of asparaginase, SC or IM. Using high-performance liquid chromatography, mean plasma asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamine, and glutamic acid concentrations were determined in dogs before and during treatment with asparaginase (10,000 U/m2 of body surface area, once a week for 3 weeks). Asparaginase was administered SC in 23 dogs and IM in 26 dogs. Variables evaluated included time to response to chemotherapy, remission and survival times, and clinical and serum biochemical indicators of toxicoses

Results
Using the World Health Organization's staging system for lymphoma, 30 dogs were in clinical stage III and 19 were in clinical stage IV. One week after asparaginase treatment, plasma asparagine concentrations were low and plasma aspartic acid, glutamine, and glutamic acid concentrations were high. Differences in plasma amino acid concentrations were not found between SC and IM groups. For dogs in clinical stage IV, IM administration of asparaginase significantly decreased the number of days to complete remission, compared with SC administration (8 vs 17 days, respectively). For dogs in clinical stage III, IM administration favorably increased the duration of first remission (191 vs 103 days) and survival time (289 vs 209 days). Overall, dogs treated IM had a faster response to chemotherapy (9 vs 15 days), a longer remission (191 vs 109 days), and a longer survival time (286 vs 198 days), compared with all dogs treated SC. Asparaginase toxicoses were not observed regardless of the route of administration.

Clinical Implications
For dogs with multicentric lymphoma that are receiving doxorubicin, IM treatment with asparaginase is more effective than SC treatment. (J Am Vet Med Assoc 1999;214:353–356)

Management of limb fractures in wapiti (Cervus elaphus): 22 cases (1993-1997)
Authors: Cruz Antonio M. , Bailey Jeremy V. , Fretz Peter B. 
Published: December 2023

Objective
To determine treatment and outcome of a series of wapiti (elk) with fractures of the limbs.

Design
Retrospective study.

Animals
22 wapiti.

Procedure
Medical records were reviewed to determine affected limb and bone, fracture configuration, method of treatment, outcome, and complications.

Results
2 animals had fractures of the humerus; 8 had fractures of the radius, ulna, or both; 5 had fractures of the third metacarpal bone; 3 had fractures of the tibia; 2 had fractures of the femur; and 2 had fractures of the tarsal bones. Most fractures (n = 11) were closed, displaced, nonarticular fractures; 6 fractures were open. Four animals died or were euthanatized prior to fracture treatment, 2 were not treated because fractures had already healed, and 14 underwent fracture repair. In the remaining 2 animals, the affected limb was amputated. Five animals developed nonfatal complications (wound dehiscence, osteomyelitis [2 animals], delayed union, and malunion) and 2 developed fatal complications (gastrocnemius rupture and femoral fracture during recovery). Overall, 16 animals were discharged from the hospital, and all were doing well at follow-up, 2 months to 4 years after discharge.

Clinical Implications
In wapiti, limb fractures can be successfully treated by means of internal or external fixation. The high rate of fracture healing, even among wapiti with open fractures, should encourage veterinarians to repair limb fractures in wapiti. (J Am Vet Med Assoc 1999;214:1829-1832)
Control of fleas on pets and in homes by use of imidacloprid or lufenuron and a pyrethrin spray
Authors: Dryden Michael W. , Perez Hector R. , Ulitchny Daniel M. 
Published: December 2023

Objective
To evaluate imidacloprid and the combination of lufenuron and pyrethrin to control flea infestations in households with pets.

Animals
37 dogs and 19 cats in 34 flea-infested households.

Procedure
Households were assigned randomly to 1 of 2 groups. Pets in group 1 were treated topically with imidacloprid on day 0, then once a month for 90 days. Pets in group 2 were given lufenuron orally on day O and at monthly intervals for 90 days and also were treated topically with a pyrethrin spray every 1 to 2 weeks throughout the study. Flea numbers in homes were assessed by use of intermittent light traps, and flea burdens on pets were assessed using visual area counts done once a week during the first month, then every other week.

Results
One application of imidacloprid reduced flea burdens on pets by 96 and 93.5% on days 7 and 28, respectively, compared with day-O burdens. Following 3 applications, flea burdens on pets and in homes were reduced by 98.8 and 99.9%, respectively. Lufenuron and pyrethrin spray reduced flea numbers on pets by 48.9 and 91.1% on days 7 and 28, respectively. By the end of the study, this combination reduced flea burdens on pets and in homes by 99.2 and 99.7%, respectively.

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance
Imidacloprid applied topically or lufenuron administered orally along with a topically applied pyrethrin spray were effective in eliminating fleas on pets and in homes. Flea control can be achieved with topical application of adulticides or oral administration of insect growth regulators without concomitant treatment of the surroundings.

Radiation exposure to personnel during examination of limbs of horses with a portable hand-held fluoroscopic unit
Authors: Thomas Helen L. , Trout Donald R. , Dobson Howard , McFadden Robert C. 
Published: December 2023

Objectives
To determine radiation exposure to personnel during fluoroscopic imaging of limbs of horses with a portable unit and to determine distance from the c-arm at which radioprotective clothing is not required.

Design
Repeated-measures cohort study.

Sample Population
Part 1, 1 forelimb and 1 hind limb from each of 5 equine cadavers; parts 2 and 3, personnel involved during imaging of limbs of 5 and 9 horses, respectively.

Procedure
Radiation exposure rates were mapped around the suspended c-arm of a portable fluoroscopy unit during imaging of various joints of equine cadaver limbs. During similar examinations in live horses, exposure rates to the fluoroscopist and assistant were measured. Mean duration for fluoroscopy of various joints was determined by observing an experienced fluoroscopist. Exposure to fluoroscopists and assistants per examination and per annum was estimated.

Results
Radiation exposure rates were dependent on distance and direction relative to the c-arm and consistently highest on the tube side of the unit. Exposure was significantly greater than background amounts until approximately 4.7 m from the c-arm. During examination of live horses, exposure was highest to the fluoroscopist's hand nearest the tube. Typically, exposure to the fluoroscopist and assistant during carpal examination was 25 to 40 times greater than that for comparable radiographic examination. Annual exposure for fluoroscopists was more than twice the recommended maximum permissible dose.

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance
Fluoroscopic imaging of limbs of horses represents a major source of radiation exposure. Annual maximum permissible doses of radiation will be rapidly exceeded if required radioprotective clothing is not worn. (J Am Vet Med Assoc 1999;215:372–379)
Effect of furosemide on performance of Thoroughbreds racing in the United States and Canada
Authors: Gross Diane K. , Morley Paul S. , Hinchcliff Kenneth W. , Wittum Thomas E. 
Published: December 2023

Objective
To determine the effect of furosemide on performance of Thoroughbreds racing on dirt surfaces at tracks in the United States and Canada.

Design
Cross-sectional study.

Animals
All Thoroughbreds (n = 22,589) that finished a race on dirt surfaces at tracks in the United States and Canada between June 28 and July 13, 1997 in jurisdictions that allowed the use of furosemide.

Procedure
Race records were analyzed by use of multivariable ANOVA procedures and logistic regression analyses to determine the effect of furosemide on estimated 6-furlong race time, estimated racing speed, race earnings, and finish position. Principal component analysis was used to create orthogonal scores from multiple collinear variables for inclusion in the models.

Results
Furosemide was administered to 16,761 (74.2%) horses. Horses that received furosemide raced faster, earned more money, and were more likely to win or finish in the top 3 positions than horses that did not. The magnitude of the effect of furosemide on estimated 6-furlong race time varied with sex, with the greatest effect in males. When comparing horses of the same sex, horses receiving furosemide had an estimated 6-furlong race time that ranged from 0.56 ± 0.04 seconds (least-squares mean ± SE) to 1.09 ± 0.07 seconds less than that for horses not receiving furosemide, a difference equivalent to 3 to 5.5 lengths.

Conclusions and Clinical Relevance
Because of the pervasive use of furosemide and its apparent association with superior performance in Thoroughbred racehorses, further consideration of the use of furosemide and investigation of its effects in horses is warranted. (J Am Vet Med Assoc 1999;215:670–675)

Authors: Tanadi Caroline , Tandarto Kevin , Stella Maureen Miracle , Sutanto Kenny Wijaya , Steffanus Mario , Tenggara Riki , Bestari Muhammad Begawan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Aims
This review aims to summarize the different colorectal cancer guidelines for average-risk and high-risk individuals from various countries.

Methods
A comprehensive literature search regarding guidelines, consensus recommendations, or position statements about colorectal cancer screening published within the last 10 years (1st January 2012 to 27th August 2022), was performed at EBSCOhost, JSTOR, PubMed, ProQuest, SAGE, and ScienceDirect.

Results
A total of 18 guidelines were included in this review. Most guidelines recommended screening between 45 and 75 years for average-risk individuals. Recommendations regarding colorectal cancer screening in high-risk individuals were more varied and depended on the risk factor. For high-risk individuals with a positive family history of colorectal cancer or advanced colorectal polyp, screening should begin at age 40. Some frequently suggested screening modalities in order of frequency are colonoscopy, FIT, and CTC. Furthermore, several screening intervals were suggested, including colonoscopy every 10 years for average-risk and every 5-10 years for high-risk individuals, FIT annually in average-risk and every 1-2 years in high-risk individuals, and CTC every five years for all individuals.

Conclusion
All individuals with average-risk should undergo colorectal cancer screening between 45 and 75. Meanwhile, individuals with higher risks, such as those with a positive family history, should begin screening at age 40. Several recommended screening modalities were suggested, including colonoscopy every 10 years in average-risk and every 5-10 years in high-risk, FIT annually in average-risk and every 1-2 years in high-risk, and CTC every five years.

Published: December 2023

One of the important stages in chili breeding is the multi-location test. The lowlands became one agroecology in the chili multi-location test because most farmers, especially in Sumatra, plant chilies on the lowlands after the rice planting season. The purpose of this study was to understand the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of chili genotypes in a lowland area. The experiment was arranged in a single-factor randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The chili genotypes evaluated were four test lines and six check varieties. The quantitative data were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by evaluation of genotype means using the least significant difference (LSD) tests by SPSS Statistics software. The results showed that the check variety having the lowest productivity was CH3 (1.19 tons ha-1) and the highest was Elegant (4.55 tons ha-1). The productivity of four genotypes from IPB were significantly different from the CH3 and Imperial 10 varieties, but not significantly different from Baja (2.96 tons ha-1), Balebat (3.87 tons ha-1), Elegant (4.55 tons ha-1) and Gada (3.04 tons ha-1) varieties. This research shows that the four genotypes from IPB have the potential to become new superior varieties.

Published: December 2023

Мета роботи – проаналізувати місце освітнього фактора в теоретико-політичній концепції та практичній діяльності Миколи Міхновського – видатного діяча українського національно-визвольного руху, який на початку ХХ ст. започаткував на Наддніпрянській Україні боротьбу за самостійність. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на принципі історизму та психологічному підході, які дають змогу проаналізувати зв'язок мовного питання та національної ідентичності. Наукова новизна дослідження полягає у підході до національної освіти як до засобу консолідації українців у їх боротьбі за українську ідентичність і як важливого фактора формування модерної європейської нації та відродження незалежної Української держави.
Висновки. М. Міхновський дійшов висновку, що національне визволення України неможливе без радикального політичного і соціо-культурного розриву з Росією. Одним із важливих засобів досягнення цієї мети було створення ефективної системи української народної освіти. Саме освіта мала стати потужним фактором перетворення українців на модерну націю, яка здатна побудувати незалежну Україну. Пройшло століття пошуків і кривавих трагедій, перш ніж українське суспільство усвідомило, що майбутнє України неможливе без радикальної дерусифікації, деколонізації, соціо-культурного дистанціювання від Росії та цивілізаційної переорієнтації на Європу. Сьогодні виявився цілком слушним формат культурно-освітніх відносин України з Росією, що його запропонував М. Міхновський. “Вікно можливостей” для цього відкрилося у ході повномасштабної російсько-української війни, яка почалася у лютому 2022 р.

Published: December 2023

Balinese gamelan music has its own aesthetic dimensions for the
group of performers and listeners. However, it can be realized that
achieving a beautiful aesthetic dish is not an easy matter. Especially
for those who are new to, studying, or who do not own cultural
products. This research tries to investigate further the concept of
incep which is one of the references for the aesthetic value of
Balinese gamelan offerings, especially Gong Kebyar. The aim is to
find components that form concepts that can be used as guidelines
in the art inheritance system and its performances. The author uses
a qualitative research model, with a textual ethnomusicological
approach and the working theory popularized by Rahayu
Supanggah. Based on the research carried out, it can be seen that
the concept of incep is related to the value of a dish which includes
instrument blows that sound clear, precise and compact. The
components that form the concept consist of ngatih, celang, and
maketekan. These three components have sub-requisites to achieve
the desired value. Because if it cannot be fulfilled then it is certain
that there will be sounds that are less clean or uncomfortable to hear
in the ear. On the other hand, if everything can be fulfilled, then
surely the percussion performance can achieve the aesthetic value
of the incep performance

Character Education is an educational movement under the
responsibility of the education unit to strengthen the character of
students through the harmonization of heart, taste, mind, and
sports. The end of strengthening character education is none other
than to build the nation's identity and competitiveness. The three
pillars of Cianjur culture in the form of ngaos, mamaos, maenpo,
as one of the cultural and artistic expressions as the nation's
identity have values that build the spirit of character education,
that represent ethic, aesthetic, and kinestethic. This can be seen
from the elements contained in it, where in addition to national
identity, there are also noble cultural ethical values, including the
value of art that accommodates the heart, taste, mind and body.
Thus, the involvement of local values in the character education
movement is an appropriate effort. This research focuses on this
effort, especially in mapping the relationship between the three
pillars of Cianjur culture and the conception of character education

Published: December 2023

A six-year analysis of changes in soil water permeability according to the basic tillage options is provided. Plowing with a PBS -10 P plow reduced water permeability by 3.1%. An increase in soil density by 6.3% for no-tillage and by 9.8% for minimum tillage reduced water permeability by 13.3 and 41.9%, respectively. Calculation of the multiple regression equation and full correlation analysis showed that the maximum influence on water permeability is exerted by the depth of the main cultivation - 44.92%, soil density determined this indicator by 38.17%, humidity by only 0.91%, the share of unaccounted factors was 16% . The yield of chickpea grain varied from 0.39 - 0.65 t/ha in 2020 (GTCMay - August = 0.20) to 1.54 - 2.12 t/ha in 2023 (GTCMay - August = 0. 64). Over six years of observation, according to factor A (basic tillage for chickpeas), the maximum yield of chickpea grain without the use of agrochemicals was noted on plowing: 1.19 t/ha (PLN-8-35) and 1.20 t/ha (PBS-10 P). Duringnon-moldboard processing (SSD-4 and PChM-4), the yield decreased by 10.9%, with a minimum (PM 7?3) by 22.7%. Foliar feeding with mineral fertilizers and fertilizers based on humic acids during the phases of branching and the beginning of budding of chickpeas of the Zoovit variety increased the yield by 11.9–14.7%.
