Extractions: This is the third in a series of articles concerning the diseases and disorders which can affect birds skin and feathers. Part III covers Constricted Toe Syndrome, Dry Gangrene of the extremities, Lipomas and Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD). Feather cysts, baldness, brown hypertrophy of the cere, polyfollicles, and knemidokoptes mites were discussed in a previous article Common Skin and Feather Disorders Part I While additional disorders, such as myialges nudus mites, xanthomas skin patches, ulcerative dermatitis, abscesses and tumors of the uropygial or preen gland and bumble foot were covered in Common Skin and Feather Disorders Part II Constricted Toe Syndrome This condition is seen most often in neonate (young) psittacines - especially African greys, macaws and eclectus. Any toe may be affected. A 360 degree constriction occurs resulting in swelling, loss of blood supply and finally death of the distal portion of the toe. This condition seems similar to the lesion caused by wrapping a piece of string or thread around the toe. The cause of constricted toe syndrome is unknown, but low humidity in the brooder is syspected as part of the cause. If this condition is recognized early, the fibrous band may be removed surgically thus restoring circulation. Dry Gangrene of the extremities This condition is seen most commonly in small birds such as canaries, keets and finches, It is caused by improper nesting material becoming wrapped around the toes and feet, cutting off circulation to the digits. Swelling occurs and circulation is compromised distal to the string. If this is recognized early, the string may be removed, restoring circulation. Many birds have so much swelling above and below the constriction it becomes impossible to visualize the thread or string. If circulation has been comporomised, too long, the distal portion of the toe sloughs.

Extractions: PERIPHERAL VENOUS DISORDERS The venous system, which returns the oxygen-depleted blood to the heart via a network of increasingly larger blood vessels, often must work against gravity, especially in returning blood from the lower part of the body. Coordinated muscular contractions and, in medium-size veins, a system of one-way valves help keep the blood flowing in the right direction. But these vessels are not aided by the pumping action of the heart or the elastic tension that enables the arteries to function. Thus, many of the disorders arising in the venous system are related to a breakdown in their ability to maintain blood flow. VARICOSE VEINS Varicose veins are a very common, usually benign, condition that affects one or more of the large veins in the legs. The veins become distended, either because of an inherent weakness in the walls or a malfunction of some of the one-way valves, permitting a backflow and pooling of blood (see figure 16.16

According to this definition, consciousness is that central nervous process which gives significance to a stimulus from the external environment. We can thus understand by consciousness that function of the nervous system which is concerned with the perceptual experience of information from the environment and from our own body (Alajouanine 1957). The multiple disintegration of consciousness observed in coma can therefore be defined as the absence, in the patient, of objective clinical (or paraclinical) signs of appreciation of his environment. It is this behavioural deficiency that the clinician explores by simple means: failure to rouse a comatose patient by calling his name or applying a painful stimulus.

Extractions: Join Renew ... Urinary System Breast Disorders The breasts can develop various types of disorders. Not all changes or lumps in the breast tissue mean that you have breast cancer. In fact, the vast majority of breast conditions are not cancerous. But if you find an abnormality or notice any changes, you should talk to your doctor. Some of the commonly occurring types of breast disorders are illustrated in the drawing below. Fibroadenomas are fibrous, benign (noncancerous) growths in breast tissue. These growths are solid, usually painless lumps that are not attached to any structures in the breast. A fibroadenoma is usually removed surgically, using a local anesthetic. A cyst is a fluid-filled sac. The cause of breast cysts is unknown. In the vast majority of cases, cysts are not harmful, although they may cause pain. Cysts disappear sometimes by themselves, or your doctor may draw out the fluid with a needle. A breast abscess is a collection of pus, resulting from an infection. Symptoms may include tenderness and inflammation. Antibiotics are prescribed to treat the infection, and your doctor may drain the pus. Fibrocystic breast disease is a common condition characterized by an increase in the fibrous and glandular tissues in the breasts, which results in small, nodular cysts, noncancerous lumpiness, and tenderness. Although called a "disease," this condition is not a disease. There is no specific treatment for fibrocystic disease. Treatment of the cysts may be all that is needed (see Cysts above).

Lawrence, a prominent vascular surgeon, has been named associate dean for program development, a new position, at UC Irvine's College of Medicine. He also was named vice president of UCI HealthSystem. Lawrence will be responsible for creating new programs for the UCI Medical Center that bring together physicians and researchers from a variety of disciplines to treat diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes and neurological disease. Usually reserved for seriously ill, hospitalized patients, this collaborative approach to providing patient care allows advances in medical research to be integrated into programs that prevent and treat disease. Lawrence also will help train medical students and residents in vascular surgery, a discipline that specializes in blood vessels throughout the body. A practicing surgeon, Lawrence will diagnose and treat patients with circulation disorders in arteries and veins. His research interests include: new ways of detecting the formation of fatty atherosclerosis plaques in the carotid artery leading to the brain, the epidemiology of circulatory disorders like aneurysms (dangerous ballooning of artery walls), and more effective techniques for attaching blood vessels in bypass operations in order to improve circulation. He is the author of more than 80 research publications and 25 textbook chapters on vascular disorders, and is an editor of the Journal of Vascular Surgery.

Extractions: The Effects of Night Flights on the Human Body and Psyche This interview with Drs. Doering and Tuetten-berg, specialists in dermatology and allergies, appeared in a German newspaper on Noise Awareness Day (1999). Q: Dr. Doering, Dr. Tuettenberg, what do allergies have to do with noise at the Cologne-Bonn Airport? D: Particularly in patients living to the southeast of the airport, we have detected a high susceptibility to allergies. In the area of Lohmar, up to 50% of the children are suffering from allergenic illnesses. Q: Why do you blame air traffic for that? D: Noise is a psychological pollutant. Just like ultra-violet light, sound is converted into chemical signals. If they reach high levels, the immune system is weakened and general resistance decreases. T: We have studies from Graz (Austria) where people have been exposed to high levels of noise. They showed a strong increase in adrenaline, the stress hormone. D: Exposure to noise has hormonal and somatic-nervous effects. During the day the body has defence mechanisms to resist stressful noise the somatic nervous system is in a phase of production or performance in which the body disregards disturbances. Q: And what happens during the night?

http://www.ncvc.go.jp/english/res/Car_Phy_1.html

Extractions: Cardiac myocytes are the excitable cells whose contraction and rhythm of contraction are controlled by a change in the membrane potential. This potential is created mainly by ionic currents flowing through ion channels in the plasma membrane. It is therefore particularly important to understand constitutive and regulated functions of ion channels in the cardiac physiology. To date, most of the cardiac ion channels are cloned, and the understanding of their functionality is becoming possible at the molecular and structural levels. One of our projects is to further explore the molecular physiology of the channels and their regulatory systems to discover the novel potential targets of therapeutics. Another projects we have in relation to ion channels is the analysis of the mechanism underlying functional differentiation of cardiac myocytes. Cardiac myocytes at different developmental stages or at different anatomical positions in the heart express distinct sets of ion channels to fulfill their own functional tasks. By identifying ion channels expressed in mature and premature myocytes treated under different conditions, we seek for factors to control functional differentiation of cardiac myocytes. The following is the selected list of our publications on these projects: Arai Y, Yamada M, Kano Y, Hashido K, Mukai T, Morisaki T: Establishment of cardiac myocyte line (HM-K) that retains a cardiac phenotype.
