Diagnosis of Infectious Causes of Bovine Abortion
Creators: name: Anderson, Mark
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2004

description: Identifying the cause for a client's herd abortion problem is often a challenge for both practitioners and veterinary diagnostic laboratories. Our success can be improved with an investigation that involves evaluation of the herd situation coupled with thorough, systematic sampling and accurate interpretation of laboratory results. The material to be presented is intended to provide information on sampling for abortion diagnosis and some of the test procedures available at most diagnostic laboratories. Bovine abortion surveys reveal that most of the identified causes are attributed to a moderate number of infectious agents. The specific types of infectious abortion identified in different regions may vary, presumably due to climate, production types, management practices and geographic factors. Also, the type of sampling and diagnostic procedures performed may influence the types of abortions identified. Some causes of abortion have declined in prevalence with improved control measures and, with new knowledge and diagnostic procedures, causes such as Neospora infection have emerged as significant causes of abortion. The diagnostic features of some of the most significant infectious causes of bovine abortion identified by veterinary diagnostic laboratories in the United States will be discussed.

Ethics of Pirated Drug Use and How do You Deal with it in Your Practice
Creators: name: Bertone, Joseph J.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2004

description: Over the past 13 years, I have examined some 150 ethical issues that arise in veterinary medicine, either directly in my Canadian Veterinary Journal column or in the ethics column I edit for the Veterinary Forum. While some of these issues represent true dilemmas, with strong arguments that can be marshalled on each side, many others are quite straightforward and their ethical resolution is unambiguous. I cannot think of a better example of an issue with clear ethical resolution than the one facing us in this discussion-the use of counterfeit (pirated) drugs where veterinarians dispense copies of established veterinary drugs. The basic reason this is a problem is that drugs compounded from bulk ingredients-unlike the branded (FDA approved) products or approved US generic equivalents-do not undergo FDA approved testing for safety and efficacy, and are not produced under conditions that conform to FDA's Good Manufacturing Practices. In my view, dispensing such drugs, as done by many veterinarians to increase profit well above what they can make with approved drugs, violates every sort of moral obligation inherent in veterinary medical ethics.

Head with antennae 23 mm long. Forewings 28 mm Body brown and wings pale yellow with dark brown patches. F e m a l e a b d o m e n. Segment VIII in lateral view with dorsal margin slightly concave, ventral margin with very slight subapical constriction,and with sinuous fingerlike apicoventral lobes; in ventral view triangular and with pair of fingerlike apicoventral lobes blunt apically. Segment IX triangular in lateral view; lateral apodemes extending anteriorly to basal 1/3rd of segment VIII. Vaginal apparatus in ventral view with slight indentation apically. R e m a r k s. The female is similar to H. tibetana (Martynov, 1930), from which it is distinguished by the apex of segment VIII which in ventral view is completely divided into lobes, but which in H. tibetana is divided only up to the middle of the lobes; the vaginal apparatus has an indentation at its apex whereas the apex is complete and without any indentation in H. tibetana. Because of lack of sufficient material and the differences given above we hesitate to describe this as a new species on the basis of this female specimen, and prefer to take it as a variant of H. tibetana.

description: Fluorescent indicator displacement assays have become popular for converting synthetic receptors into optical sensors. We have now shown that a 1:2 host–guest complex between cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) and proflavine (PF) can be used as a fluorescent indicator for sensing the anticancer drug gefitinib. The 2PF@Q[8] complex can be used to detect gefitinib with high selectivity using fluorescence spectrometry with a detection limit of 6.63 × 10−8 mol−L. The proposed sensing mechanism was investigated using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR), isothermal titration calorimetry and electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry. The 2PF@Q[8] complex was shown to be suitable for imaging gefitinib in prostate cancer (PC3) cells, which may help to elucidate relevant biological processes at the molecular level. We have developed a novel F-IDA to detect the anticancer drug GEF with high selectivity. The new indicator has excellent selectivity and a low detection limit for GEF. We have also demonstrated that the F-IDA can be used for the practical determination of drugs in living cells.

description: Practical application of formal epidemiology can be a very useful tool in private practice for food animal veterinarians working in the field of herd health/production medicine. Careful and deliberate determination of the outcome variables of interest in each production situation or application provides a logical starting point for establishing the information requirements necessary to measure the defined outcome variables. Subsequently, the collected data can be used for a wide variety of purposes, including disease investigation, monitoring, forecasting and commercial field trials. The successful application of formal epidemiology in herd health/production medicine can serve as a solid basis for establishing long-term productive business relationships with animal agriculture enterprises.

Breeding Soundness Evaluation
Creators: name: Warner, Gary D.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2004

description: The bull breeding soundness evaluation (BSE) should be an integral part of any herd health management program to maintain and promote herd profitability and health. Physical examination of the bull is a very important aspect of the overall evaluation, and should be given careful consideration by the practitioner. The bull must be fit and in condition to properly identify and service the cows presented to him. It is the veterinarian's responsibility to evaluate body condition, foot and leg structure, reproductive system, temperament and quality. Other considerations, such as breed selection, evaluation of expected progeny differences (EPD), ultrasound data evaluation and feed trial performance may be requested of the veterinarian. Proper equipment to conduct the evaluation and facilities for restraint of the bull are important. Mature bulls, particularly those of questionable disposition, require substantial facilities for evaluation. Selection and maintenance of the proper equipment is of major importance to the success of the examination. Malfunctioning equipment or lack of adequate restraint can seriously limit the veterinarian's ability to properly collect and evaluate a semen sample. A proper and complete exam can be of direct benefit to the owner, whether it be the consequence of a sale or a part of an annual exam before the breeding season. It should be considered as an insurance policy against the financial loss of a failed breeding season.

Sperm Morphology
Creators: name: Saacke, R. G.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2004

description: Abnormal spermatozoa have been historically associated with male subfertility and sterility. As early as 1927, an insightful report by Williams and Savage in the Cornell Vet stated that "the dimensions of sperm heads from good fertility bulls are remarkably uniform". This is still true. Presence of abnormal spermatozoa in semen is one of our most sensitive indications that spermatogenesis of a male has been impaired. In addition, occurrence of certain types of abnormal sperm are more dangerous, and can indicate that normal-appearing sperm in the same sample may also be abnormal or incompetent in fertilization or sustaining embryogenesis once initiated. In this paper, we will summarize current concepts of how sperm morphology impacts fertilization rate, as well as early embryogenesis, by examining their transport in the female and engagement of the ovum. Also discussed is the relationship of sperm morphology as we measure it in the breeding soundness exam to what we recognize as the two main components comprising seminal deficiencies in artificial insemination: 1) those deficiencies which can be overcome by raising the sperm dosage to the female (compensable) 2) and those deficiencies where subfertility exists regardless of sperm dosage (uncompensable).

Cyber & Cyberspace Is A Domain Not Just A Security Function
Creators: name: Co, Dean Marc
Publisher: name: zo
Year: 2023

description: This study aims to explore and investigate the contemporary perceptions, understanding, and implicit semantic meanings of cyber and cyberspace. While the concepts from the surface and within common social conversational context seem simple and obvious, deeper investigation of literature and institutional policy doctrines reveals that prevailing definitions have minimal mutual understanding, and that definitions of scope, scale, and semantics are sector specific and minimally transferrable to other contexts. It also overlaps excessively with adjunct conceptual entities like 'digital', 'internet', 'Internet', virtual worlds, metaverse, and others creating ambiguity and conflicts. Additionally, a sub-function of cyber, namely cybersecurity, became the proxy and de facto entity that represents the cyber practice across public policy, private enterprises and investments, and military or institutional domain definitions. Key questions centre around (i) the definition and scope of what cyber and cyberspace are from the perspective of institutions and its people, be it in the public sector or private enterprises; and (ii) how this relates to the direction, maturity, competitiveness, adaptability, trustworthiness, and effectiveness with its organisational purpose. The research process embodied an overarching qualitative grounded theory methodology, using only minimal assumptions as anchor concepts or scaffolds for taxonomy. These conceptual frameworks were mainly based on information systems theory, enterprise architecture paradigms, and prevailing doctrines defined by large institutions like the military and its sovereign state. The assumptions and propositions initially established were enhanced and expanded significantly based on wise feedback and actionable insights that were in fact, already in practice for organisations and functions that have achieved a high level of maturity, regardless of variances in the sophistication it entails. This allows or enables effective and competent delivery of the purpose of the organisation, thus ultimately leading to public trust in institutions, customer satisfaction for private enterprises, and social benefit when waste and needless ambiguity are given clarity.

description: Aims: Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) plays a key role in tissue fibrogenesis and growing evidence indicates a pathogenic role in cardiovascular disease. Aim of this study is to investigate the association of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) with cardiovascular risk and mortality in patients with manifest vascular disease. Methods and results: Plasma CTGF was measured by ELISA in a prospective cohort study of 1227 patients with manifest vascular disease (mean age 59.0 ± 9.9 years). Linear regression analysis was performed to quantify the association between CTGF and cardiovascular risk factors. Results are expressed as beta (β) regression coefficients with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The relation between CTGF and the occurrence of new cardiovascular events and mortality was assessed with Cox proportional hazard analysis. Adjustments were made for potential confounding factors. Plasma CTGF was positively related to total cholesterol (β 0.040;95%CI 0.013–0.067) and LDL cholesterol (β 0.031;95%CI 0.000–0.062) and inversely to glomerular filtration rate (β −0.004;95%CI −0.005 to −0.002). CTGF was significantly lower in patients with cerebrovascular disease. During a median follow-up of 6.5 years (IQR 5.3–7.4) 131 subjects died, 92 experienced an ischemic cardiac complication and 45 an ischemic stroke. CTGF was associated with an increased risk of new vascular events (HR 1.21;95%CI 1.04–1.42), ischemic cardiac events (HR 1.41;95%CI 1.18–1.67) and all-cause mortality (HR 1.18;95%CI 1.00–1.38) for every 1 nmol/L increase in CTGF. No relation was observed between CTGF and the occurrence of ischemic stroke. Conclusions: In patients with manifest vascular disease, elevated plasma CTGF confers an increased risk of new cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.
Getting Cows Pregnant and Keeping Them Pregnant Requires Progesterone

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2004

description: Early embryonic mortality in sheep and cattle averages 38%, with the majority of losses occurring prior to 30 days post-conception. This loss is primarily due to two factors: 1) genetic abnormalities in the embryo (7 to 10%), and 2) inadequate secretion of progesterone at critical times (approximately 30%). Supplementation of progesterone in cattle increased pregnancy rates by 13 to 30%. Thus, the requirement for continued secretion of progesterone has been clearly documented. Therefore, it is important to understand the complex hormonal interactions between the developing embryo, uterus, pituitary gland and ovary that regulate the secretion of progesterone from the corpus luteum. The mechanisms whereby the pregnant uterus prevents regression of the corpus luteum, which occurs at the end of a normal reproductive cycle, are complex and sensitive to a number of environmental and management factors. These factors include heat stress, level of nutrition, genetics and general herd health. Any biological process which retards the growth of the embryo may result in early embryonic mortality due to a lack of synchrony between the embryo and the uterus. The basic physiological mechanisms involved in establishing and maintaining pregnancy are presented and discussed.

description:   
Testlet design is very popular in educational and psychological assessments. This article proposes a new cognitive diagnosis model, the Multiple-Choice Cognitive Diagnostic Testlet (MC-CDT) model for a test with testlets consisting of multiple-choice (MC) items. The MC-CDT model uses the original examinees' responses to MC items instead of dichotomously scored data (i.e. correct or incorrect) to retain the information from different distractors and thus enhance the MC items' diagnostic power. The MCMC algorithm is adopted to calibrate the model implemented in the WinBUGS software. Then, a thorough simulation study is conducted to evaluate the estimation accuracy for both item and examinee parameters in the MC-CDT model under various conditions. The results show that the proposed MC-CDT model outperforms the traditional MC cognitive diagnostic model. Specifically, the MC-CDT model can fit the data with testlets better than the traditional model, while it can still fit the data without testlets well. Finally, an empirical study proves that the MC-CDT model fits the real data better than the traditional model, and it can also provide testlet information.

description: The wild plant Campanumoea lancifolia (Roxb.) Merr (also called Hong Guo ginseng, HGG), is naturally distributed in a Hmong minority area in western Hunan Province, China. The objective of this study was to identify, quantify, and elucidate the polyphenols and anthocyanins, and their antioxidant activities (via 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and 2,2ʹ-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical cation scavenging abilities) tested in vitro in the whole fruit, fruit skin, fruit pulp, and leaves of the plant. Results showed that Total polyphenol content (TPC) was highest in leaves (97.76 mg/g), followed by whole fruit (18.18 mg/g), fruit skin (26.16 mg/g), and fruit pulp (8.99 mg/g). Total anthocyanin content (TAC) in fruit skin was the highest at 27.44 mg/g, compared with leaves (20.18 mg/g), whole fruit (12.94 mg/g), and fruit pulp (4.36 mg/g). DPPH scavenging ability and ABTS scavenging ability test followed a decreasing order with the highest ability in leaves, fruit skin, whole fruit, and fruit pulp. Main phenolic compounds (chlorogenic acid, rutin, luteolin-7-O-glucoside, and apigenin) were also highest in leaves. Phenolic compounds and anthocyanins in whole fruit and leaves were further identified using UPLC-QTOF-MS, resulting in the identification of six phenolic acids and their derivatives, seventeen flavonoids and their derivatives, and two anthocyanins observed. These results thus provide the phytochemical evidence to explain and understand the medical and health benefits of HGG.

description: Veterinarians have enjoyed a remarkably positive reputation with the public. However, the use of pirated drugs has put that good reputation dangerously at risk. These drugs may be less expensive, but they also are of poor quality, highly variable in nature, and of unknowable content or stability. It follows, then, that use of pirated drugs removes the essential information in clinical pharmacology and application of therapeutics - i.e., what have you administered to the patient? With pirated drugs, neither you nor the pirate know what you have administered. Use of pirated drugs is, by definition, substandard veterinary care.

Leptospirosis in Cattle
Creators: name: Hairgrove, Thomas B.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2004

description: Leptospirosis is a disease first described in the literature nearly 70 years ago. In cattle the principal serovars of Leptospira interrograns are L. hardjo-bovis, L. pomona, L. canicola, L. icterhaemorrhagiae, L. grippotyphosa and L. szwajjizak. L. hardjo-bovis is the serovar most frequently associated with reproductive wastage in the United States. Of the remaining serovars, L. pomona is the most significant. Many aspects of the disease remain poorly understood, e.g. variation in disease pattern and disease impact associated with different strains of the same host-maintained serovor in different management systems and different parts of the world. This presentation focuses on L. hardjo-bovis. Cattle are the maintenance host and the only reservoir. In general, a disease associated with infection of the maintenance host is sub-clinical, produces low antibody titers and affects young or pregnant animals with a very rapid transmission rate from animal to animal. Maintenance host diseases can be very difficult to diagnosis. L. hardjo-bovis is currently diagnosed using a combination of serology and identification of leptospires in the urine. A prevalence study indicated there is a high prevalence of L. hardjo-bovis in the rolling plains of Texas. Control of this disease consists of implementing biosecurity measures, use of antibiotics to clear carrier states and use of a vaccine effective for L. hardjo-bovis.

The National Animal Identification System is an industry/government driven animal health initiative to establish a standardized national animal identification system to enhance animal disease surveillance, monitoring, control and eradication in the United States. They are two separate initiatives addressing two separate issues in the livestock industry. However, they do have two common components under discussion: • voluntary vs. mandatory • animal identification requirements As the two proposals evolve, veterinarians and producers will have increased opportunity to develop / expand the veterinarian - client relationship because of the improved recordkeeping, management protocol, identification requirements and reporting of animal movements associated with both initiatives.

description: Historically, agriculture has assembled financial/accounting information for taxes, credit and management (profitability). The need for tax based information has always been the driver, and management information is quite often missing altogether. This can lead to poor decisions by management. Managerial accounting gives management the tools needed to manage a business in today's complex world. It allows management to manage cost where and when it occurs, and to manage the segments of the business that are manageable. The Balanced Score Card is a set of measures that provides a fast, comprehensive picture of how an organization is creating and sustaining value--in the eyes of its customers, stakeholders and employees.

Leveraging Your Time and Improving Your Practice with Veterinary Technicians

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2004

description: Many changes occurring within the veterinary industry have caused a reassessment of traditional food and mixed animal practice procedures and norms. Fewer graduates interested in these practice areas have increased the focus on this topic today. Some groups lament the lack of adequate numbers of veterinary graduates while conflicting groups have discerned that the amount of veterinary care available is appropriate. Veterinary technicians are educated, licensed, capable professionals whose role has been morphing and expanding in recent years. Small animal practices have integrated these technicians into their business model successfully, yet many practitioners have not yet embraced the benefits others have noted. Mixed animal practices offer perhaps the easiest entry for a licensed technician since duties can often be flexibly changed between species as their job description expands and additional training occurs. Many DVM's are finding that their billable professional time is substantially increased with the addition of licensed staff who are able to work under indirect as well as direct supervision. This has added to the bottom line in many instances. Careful attention to the law of the state of residence will help guide the process of integrating these professionals into a changing practice environment.

description: Two new Cu(II)-based coordination polymers, [Cu(TTTMB)(Hbtrc2−)]n (1) and {[Cu(TTTMB)2(H2O)2](NO3)2(H2O)4}n (2), were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions (TTTMB = 1,3,5-tris(triazol-1-ylmethyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene; H3btrc = 1,3,5-trimesic acid). The structures of these polymers were established by elemental analysis, IR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Polymer 1 displays a three-dimensional (3-D) structure with the Schläfli symbol (4·62)(4·67·82) and crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n. Each Cu(II) in 1 is five-coordinate in a slightly distorted rectangular pyramid geometry. Polymer 2 has a 2-D network structure with (4,4) topology and each Cu(II) ion has a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The antidiabetic activity against α-amylase and antioxidant activity against DPPH of the two Cu(II)-based complexes were evaluated in vitro. Polymers 1 (IC50 = 1.43 mg/mL) and 2 (IC50 = 2.45 mg/mL) exhibited more effective inhibition on α-amylase than the standard drug acarbose (IC50 = 2.94 mg/mL). The results of the antioxidant studies revealed that 2 demonstrated a potent scavenging effect on DPPH with IC50 values of 2.59 mg/mL, slightly lower than that of vitamin E (2.67 mg/mL).

description: Food animal veterinarians are in a unique position to define their professional role in ensuring animal welfare. The field of laboratory animal medicine may serve as a model for elucidating and defining responsibilities within the agricultural animal industries. As food retail expectations for assurance of animal welfare rise, an imperative now exists to further develop the role of food animal practitioners.

Exotic Disease Threats
Creators: name: Torres, Alfonso
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2004

description: The term "exotic disease" or "foreign animal diseases" (or FADs) is used to group more than fifty animal diseases that are not currently in the US. Thirteen of them have been eradicated from our country after intensive, expensive and long duration campaigns. Many of these diseases are important zoonotic diseases. This presentation will review thirteen exotic diseases that affect cattle, grouped into three categories: 1. Highly contagious diseases. 2. Non-highly contagious diseases. 3. Vector-borne and parasitic diseases The following information will be summarized for each disease: definition, etiology, global epidemiology, clinical signs and lesions.

description: Consumption of tomato and tomato products is positively related to the reduction in cardiovascular disease and several types of cancer, thanks to the presence of natural compounds, such as antioxidants. Peels and seeds fractions of tomato, collected after industrial processing in Tunisian industries, were analysed for nutritional and antioxidants composition in perspective of its utilisation. Proximate composition, fatty acids profile, carotenoids, such as lycopene and beta-carotene, polyphenols contents, demonstrated the good potential of these residual products as a source of natural compounds, useful for food and nutraceuticals applications.

Use of Susceptibility Testing in Veterinary Medicine
Creators: name: Constable, Peter D.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2004

description: There has been increased interest in optimizing treatment protocols for antimicrobial agents, with substantial reliance on susceptibility testing of bacterial pathogens isolated from diseased cattle. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of bovine bacterial pathogens has traditionally used the agar diffusion (Kirby-Bauer) method, which was designed to reflect the antibiotic concentration in serum and interstitial fluid of human patients. The validity of agar diffusion susceptibility breakpoints derived from humans to the treatment of mastitis, diarrhea and respiratory disease in cattle has not been established. The use of susceptibility testing to guide treatment decisions for individual cattle is not recommended until the breakpoints have been validated as being predictive of treatment outcome.

description: Blueberries are widely recognised as one of the richest sources of bioactive compounds, among which are anthocyanins, though the ripeness of berries has been reported as affecting the phytochemical composition of fruits. Therefore, the present work aimed to evaluate the variation of anthocyanins, and other major phenolics, throughout five ripening stages in four blueberry cultivars. The results showed that the antioxidant capacity and anthocyanin content increased during ripening, reaching the highest values when the blueberries are collected from bunches comprised of 75% ripe blueberries. Antagonistically, the amount of phenolic acid decreases, while the quercetin-3-glucoside levels remain stable. Furthermore, Goldtraube blueberries appear to possess, systematically, higher amounts of phenolic compounds than the other cultivars studied. Thus, when seeking the highest yield of anthocyanins, the preferred harvest should occur in bunches that contain ca 75% of ripe blueberries and, considering the cultivars assayed, the Goldtraube cultivar appears to be the richest in phenolic compounds.
