En este tiempo ha habido momentos buenos y malos, unos más fáciles y otros más complicados en los personal y en lo laboral y en ocasiones era difícil atisbar el final del camino, pero es ahora cuando todo culmina, cuando echo la vista atrás y sólo puedo sentirme agradecida a la vida y a todos los que me han rodeado en este tiempo. Gracias por hacerme crecer, porque cada vez que me he caído me han ayudado a levantarme, porque cuando el paso era ligero también me han acompañado disfrutando de esos momentos. Ahora que finaliza y hago un resumen de estos siete últimos años me doy cuenta de lo que he crecido como veterinaria clínica junto con este proyecto. Mi amor y afición por los gatos surgió ya desde que me licencié en Veterinaria y me uní al GEMFE, grupo de especialidad en Medicina Felina de AVEPA, formándome con especial interés en la medicina felina.

  • Romantic Comedy-A Critical and Creative Enactment 15Oct19
    Romantic comedy: a critical and creative enactment by Toni Leigh Jordan B.Sc., Dip. A. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Deakin University June, 2019 Table of Contents Abstract ii Acknowledgements iii Dedication iv Exegesis 1 Introduction 2 The Denier 15 Trysts and Turbulence 41 You’ve Got Influences 73 Conclusion 109 Works cited 112 Creative Artefact 123 Addition 124 Fall Girl 177 Our Tiny, Useless Hearts 259 Abstract For this thesis, I have written an exegetic complement to my published novels using innovative methodologies involving parody and fictocriticism to creatively engage with three iconic writers in order to explore issues of genre participation. Despite their different forms and eras, my subjects—the French playwright Molière (1622-1673), the English novelist Jane Austen (1775-1817), and the American screenwriter Nora Ephron (1941-2012)—arguably participate in the romantic comedy genre, and my analysis of their work seeks to reveal both genre mechanics and the nature of sociocultural evaluation. I suggest that Molière did indeed participate in the romantic comedy genre, and it is both gender politics and the high cultural prestige of his work (and the low cultural prestige of romantic comedy) that prevents this classification. I also suggest that popular interpretations of Austen’s work are driven by romanticised analysis (inseparable from popular culture), rather than the values implicit in the work, and that Ephron’s clever and conscious use of postmodern techniques is frequently overlooked. Further, my exegesis shows how parody provides a productive methodology for critically exploring genre, and an appropriate one, given that genre involves repetition—or parody—of conventions and their relationship to form.

Foamy viruses are particularly interesting as vectors, because they are not associated to any disease. Vector research is mainly based on primate foamy viruses (PFV), but cats are an alternative animal model, due to their smaller size and the existence of a cognate feline foamy virus (FFV).

  • The Yellow Cat: Diagnostic & Therapeutic Strategies
    Peer Reviewed THE YELLOW CAT: DIAGNOSTIC & THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES The Yellow Cat: Diagnostic & Therapeutic Strategies Craig B. Webb, PhD, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM (Small Animal Internal Medicine) Colorado State University There is no mystery when it comes to a “yellow” cat. Icterus and jaundice—both of which describe a yellowish pigmentation of the skin—indicate hyperbilirubinemia, a 5- to 10-fold elevation in serum bilirubin concentration. However, this is where the certainty ends and the diagnostic challenge begins. The icteric cat presentation is not a sensitive or specific marker of disease, despite the visually obvious and impressive clinical sign (Figure 1).1 The objective of this article is to briefly review differentials for hyperbilirubinemia in the cat, and present a diagnostic and therapeutic strategy that will help practitioners approach this problem in an efficient and effective manner. FIGURE 1. Icteric pinna of a cat in the critical HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA: ORGANIZATION care isolation unit; prehepatic hemolysis BY LOCATION and anemia are a result of Cytauxzoon felis infection. Hyperbilirubinemia The differentials for hyperbilirubinemia should be results when organized by location: prehepatic, hepatic, and serum bilirubin posthepatic. While, in cats, it is common to find Hepatic Disease concentrations concurrent disease processes, starting from this A significant decrease, or loss, of hepatocellular reach 2 to 3 mg/dL foundation is the first step toward an effective and function effects bilirubin metabolism, and (35–50 mcmol/L). efficient diagnostic workup of icteric cats. frequently results in intrahepatic cholestasis (Table 1, page 40). Unconjugated bilirubin from damaged Prehepatic Disease hepatocytes is present, although the majority of Hemolysis releases hemoglobin, which is then bilirubin that appears in the cat’s circulation is metabolized through biliverdin to bilirubin in the conjugated, having completed the metabolic step liver.

  • Document43 Breed Article Somali, Website Cfa.Org
    Breed Article: Somali The Somali Cat: 30 Years and Going Strong! by Kathy Black What comes to mind when we think of the Somali? A longhaired Abyssinian? A cat that resembles a fox? A colorful cat with squirrel markings? Many colorful adjectives could be used to describe the Somali, but I think that the Somali breeders/owners themselves express it the best. Recently at the CFA International Cat Show in Kansas City, I asked some of them to describe the Somali, using the first thought that came to mind. Here are their responses: very loving, lively, playful, large bushy tail, into everything, softest fur ever felt, the king, busy, ready for action, foxy, ornery, strikingly beautiful, lifetime companion, active, mischievous, and colorful. The Somali is a combination of beauty and personality. The first thing that captures your attention is the beauty and uniqueness of the Somali. They are very striking cats, with their colorful coats, Photo: © Carl Widmer bushy tails, facial markings and alert personalities. They come in four recognized colors: ruddy, red, blue and fawn. The combination of ticked, dramatic colored fur, facial markings, large ears, full ruff, dark hocks and bushy tail and britches is what gives the Somali its wild feral look - and is what immediately draws fascinated attention to the breed. As you can see described above, however, the Somali's personality is what their breeders and owners prize the most. Somalis are intelligent cats, very playful and active.
