Dex is ready to explore Austin. While we’d love for him to sample some BBQ and jam out on South Sixth Street, we want to make sure he’s not getting into any trouble. Help us keep track of him during the conference. If you spot him make sure to snap a photo and share it on the app using your Instagram account. Remember to tag NAVDF (@navdf) and use the hashtags #detectDex, #NAVDF, and #NAVDF2019. Once your photo is shared, return Dex to his dog house at NAVDF registration and claim your reward! ® APP DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS 1. Search NAVDF in the iTunes or Google Play Store. 2.

  • Antibody Testing in Peripheral Neuropathies Steven Vernino, MD, Phd*, Gil I
    Neurol Clin 25 (2007) 29–46 Antibody Testing in Peripheral Neuropathies Steven Vernino, MD, PhD*, Gil I. Wolfe, MD Department of Neurology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX, USA Causes of peripheral neuropathy (PN) include a wide range of genetic, toxic, metabolic, and inflammatory disorders. Several PNs have an autoim- mune basis, either as a consequence of systemic autoimmune disease, an au- toimmune disorder specifically targeting peripheral nerve or ganglia, or a remote effect of malignancy. Several clinical presentations are distinctive for the autoimmune neuropathies. Subacute progression, asymmetric or multifocal deficits, and selective involvement of motor, sensory, or auto- nomic nerves are clues suggesting an autoimmune, inflammatory cause. The clinical presentation, however, may be indistinguishable from other forms of chronic length-dependent sensorimotor PN. Antibodies against specific glycolipids or glycoproteins, such as anti- GM1 and anti–myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), are associated with inflammatory (often demyelinating) peripheral nerve syndromes. In some cases, these antibodies identify motor or sensory neuropathies that are responsive to immunotherapy [1–3] or those with a different prognosis [4,5]. Antineuronal nuclear and cytoplasmic antibodies (such as anti-Hu and CRMP-5) help identify patients who have paraneoplastic neuropathy resulting from remote immunologic effects of malignancy [6,7]. Various other serologic tests, although less specific, can be used to provide clues about the presence of systemic autoimmune disease that can affect the nerves. These include serologic markers for Sjo¨gren’s syndrome (SS), rheu- matoid arthritis, celiac disease, and systemic vasculitides (such as Churg- Strauss syndrome) [8,9]. Because the cause of acquired neuropathies often is obscure, autoanti- body testing can be of great diagnostic value in identifying autoimmune * Corresponding author.

Although originally from Texas, she has lived in California for the last 15 years. Currently she is the Dean of Sciences and Math at a small college in northern California. She is married to Jeff Roberts, also an All Breeds judge in TICA. The name of their cattery “PuraVida” reflects their love for paradise in Costa Rica. Heather breeds Singapuras and European Burmese and finds the incredible intelligence of the Singapura and the laidback personality of the European Burmese to be a nice balance in her life. Their breeding program focuses on healthy cats with loving temperaments foremost. She has also shown Bengal, Cymric, Siberian, Maine Coon, Somali, Bombay, and companion cats. She has had the extreme pleasure of judging in Australia and New Zealand several times over recent years. She enjoys the countryside, the new friendships, and of course the fabulous quality of the cats. She has imported cats from Australia and New Zealand for use in her own breeding program, and has exported cats back to Australia in an effort to truly internationalize some gene pools. She hopes to someday import a lovely Burmilla for her and Jeff to enjoy and promote in TICA.

There are several concerns on the possible negative effects on PPG including anaesthesia, surgery and complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of PPG. Microsoft excel was used for statistical analysis. The information about 6646 purebred kittens who had gone through PPG before 27 weeks of age was obtained from the online retrospective survey. Database included cats from the different breeds and –age groups when the surgery was performed, collected in 2019.

  • Tyrosinase Mutations Associated with Siamese and Burmese Patterns in the Domestic Cat (Felis Catus)
    doi:10.1111/j.1365-2052.2005.01253.x Tyrosinase mutations associated with Siamese and Burmese patterns in the domestic cat (Felis catus) L. A. Lyons, D. L. Imes, H. C. Rah and R. A. Grahn Department of Population Health and Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, Davis, CA, USA Summary The Siamese cat has a highly recognized coat colour phenotype that expresses pigment at the extremities of the body, such as the ears, tail and paws. This temperature-sensitive colouration causes a ÔmaskÕ on the face and the phenotype is commonly referred to as ÔpointedÕ. Burmese is an allelic variant that is less temperature-sensitive, producing more pigment throughout the torso than Siamese. Tyrosinase (TYR) mutations have been sus- pected to cause these phenotypes because mutations in TYR are associated with similar phenotypes in other species. Linkage and synteny mapping in the cat has indirectly sup- ported TYR as the causative gene for these feline phenotypes. TYR mutations associated with Siamese and Burmese phenotypes are described herein. Over 200 cats were analysed, representing 12 breeds as well as randomly bred cats. The SNP associated with the Siamese phenotype is an exon 2 G > A transition changing glycine to arginine (G302R). The SNP associated with the Burmese phenotype is an exon 1 G > T transversion changing glycine to tryptophan (G227W). The G302R mutation segregated concordantly within a pedigree of Himalayan (pointed) Persians. All cats that had ÔpointedÕ or the Burmese coat colour phenotype were homozygous for the corresponding mutations, respectively, suggesting that these phenotypes are a result of the identified mutations or unidentified mutations that are in linkage disequilibrium.

    $50. 00 Interpretation of Canine and Feline Urinalysis Dennis J. Chew, DVM Stephen P. DiBartola, DVM Clinical Handbook Series Interpretation of Canine and Feline Urinalysis Dennis J. Chew, DVM Stephen P. DiBartola, DVM Clinical Handbook Series Preface Urine is that golden body fluid that has the potential to reveal the answers to many of the body’s mysteries. As Thomas McCrae (1870-1935) said, “More is missed by not looking than not knowing.” And so, the authors would like to dedicate this handbook to three pioneers of veterinary nephrology and urology who emphasized the importance of “looking,” that is, the importance of conducting routine urinalysis in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of dogs and cats. To Dr. Carl A. Osborne , for his tireless campaign to convince veterinarians of the importance of routine urinalysis; to Dr. Richard C. Scott , for his emphasis on evaluation of fresh urine sediments; and to Dr. Gerald V. Ling for his advancement of the technique of cystocentesis. Published by The Gloyd Group, Inc.
