Effusions I Actual case material, demonstrated via videomicroscopy, will be used to illustrate the cytologic interpretation of pleural and peritoneal effusions. Inflammatory reactions, mesothelial cell hyperplasia, and neoplastic reactions will all be illustrated. Specific diseases to be illustrated include actinomycosis, FIP, bile peritonitis, chylothorax, lymphosarcoma, pleural and peritoneal carcinomatosis, and others. Effusions II Continues. See description above.
Vestibular disorders produce varying degrees of loss of equilibrium, causing imbalance and ataxia.
Strength is not lost and therefore paresis is not observed. It is important to differentiate central vestibular disease from peripheral disease, because of the difference in treatment and prognosis. The major function of the cerebellum is to coordinate voluntary, postural and reflex movements that are initiated elsewhere. In association with the vestibular system, the cerebellum also assists with the maintenance of equilibrium. Cerebellar dysfunction does not causes paresis or paralysis, but results in an inability to measure and regulate motor function.
