Bovine mastitis is a bacterial infection cause by a number of bacteria such as Bacteria that are known to cause mastitis include:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus epidermidis
Streptococcus uberis
local names, definition, etiology,epidemiology lifecycle, pathogenesis, clinical findings, necropsy finding, diagnosis,treatment, control and prevention
Whether your dog is a working companion, champion show animal, hunting partner, or just a best friend, the kindest and most responsible thing you can do for him is to provide proper health care.
Knowing about common dog diseases and being aware of appropriate prevention and treatment can better help you provide that care.
Many Diseases Can Be Prevented .Some of the most common and serious dog diseases have been made less common through vaccines: however, these diseases continue to threaten a dog that lacks proper immunization. Puppies many be vaccinated as early as 4-6 weeks depending on each situation and the veterinarian’s advice. Through mother’s milk, puppies receive disease fighting antibodies, which last 6-16 weeks. Vaccinations then take over.
Yearly boosters should be given throughout your dog’s life, including old age when your dog may become more susceptible to some diseases.
Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in India Epidemiology and ControlBhoj Raj Singh
PPR is endemic in India in sheep & goats. Mainly young stocks are more affected. Disease occurs throughout the year but more common in October & March. Though vaccination is the only method for control & eradication, even the institutes those developed the effective vaccine in India to control the disease fear to use it because many a time outbreaks ensue on vaccination. The other important reason for persistence of disease is undeclared Policy of suppressed reporting of PPR outbreaks.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

10. Do you have BVD in your herd?
Yes NoMaybe
BVD virus is considered to not be in the herd
if the herd has high pregnancy rates, few
aborted fetuses, no birth defects, excellent
calf health and lacks diagnostic evidence for
BVD virus.
11. Do you have BVD in your herd?
Yes NoMaybe
BVD virus may be in the herd if the herd has
clinical signs consistent with BVD (e.g., lower
than expected pregnancy rates, aborted
fetuses, birth defects, low birthweight calves,
or poor calf health) but no diagnostic
confirmation of BVD virus.
12. Do you have BVD in your herd?
Yes NoMaybe
BVD virus is in your herd if virus (not
antibodies) has been detected in samples
from your herd (aborted fetuses, dead calves,
or live cattle).
13. Why test?
• Increase market value of animals
• Ensure that a herd is free of PI animals
• Identifying individual PI animals spreading
disease within a herd or group

Observe for clinical signs of disease. Submit samples from all aborted and
underweight calves for BVDV testing
Observe for clinical signs of disease
15. Persistently infected (PI) cattle are the source
of ongoing exposure in herds with BVD virus,
and they need to be identified and removed
prior to the breeding season.
Will you do this?
Yes. If yes is selected, you and your veterinarian know who to test, when to
test, and how to test. If not, please review info to define this question.
Help to define:
Where do PI calves come from?
Which test should I use to detect PI cattle?
Consideration of strategy of testing for PI cattle?
No. If no is selected, you are deciding to accept the cost of continued
presence of the virus in your herd.

26. Follow-up surveillance is a critical aspect to
assessing and maintaining your BVD control
program. There are several options for this:
Yes If yes is selected, you and your veterinarian know how to assess the success of your BVD control program and
ensure that no PI calves are maintained in your herd during the subsequent year.
No If no is selected, you are deciding to accept a risk of maintaining PI calves in your herd during
the subsequent year.

35. Factors impacting the detection of viral
RNA of BVDV from consumption surfaces
• Acute vs. Persistent Infection (PI)
• Variability in viral shedding from PI cattle
• Presence of maternal antibodies in PI calves
• Dilution of viral RNA
– Over a greater consumption surface area
– With a greater number of cattle
• Characteristics of consumption surface
• Swab used for sample collection
• Ambient temperature
• Direct sunlight
• Precipitation
• Humidity
• Time between surface contact and sample collection
• Sample handling
• Time between sample collection and assay for viral RNA
36. Factors impacting the detection of viral
RNA of BVDV from consumption surfaces
• Acute vs. Persistent Infection (PI)
– PI only
• Variability in viral shedding from PI cattle
– Detects a PI (AU #18) that exhibits:
• low serum concentrations of virus (350 to 4,600 CCID50/mL)
• neutralizing antibodies to the strain with which she is
infected
• Presence of maternal antibodies in PI calves
– Detected two PI calves (at 45 and 47 days of age)
within a group of 30 calves via 1 swab of all feed &
water buckets in 30 individual calf hutches
37. Factors impacting the detection of viral
RNA of BVDV from consumption surfaces
• Dilution of viral RNA
– Over a greater consumption surface area
– With a greater number of cattle
– Detected one PI dairy heifer in a pasture containing approximately
120, 21- to 23-month-old pregnant heifers. One swab was taken of
the 240 linear feet (73 meters) of polyethylene troughs in this pasture
to detect the presence of a PI in a large group of heifers containing
only heifers that previously tested negative by individual animal ear
notch ELISA. After a positive consumption surface swab, follow-up
testing using virus isolation from white blood cells identified the PI
heifer that produced a positive test result upon retest using individual
animal ear notch ELISA
• Characteristics of consumption surface
– Prior testing has focused on polyethylene, rubber, and concrete feed
trough and water trough surfaces. Swabs have been developed to
withstand swabbing of concrete troughs.
38. Factors impacting the detection of viral
RNA of BVDV from consumption surfaces
• Swab used for sample collection
– Optimized for durability and diagnostic sensitivity
• Ambient temperature
• Direct sunlight
– Repeated positive results achieved when swabbing PI feed troughs at
6 hours post contact at:
• -3 °C (27 °F) which were protected from exposure to sunlight
• 34 °C (93.2 °F) which were provided exposure to direct sunlight. Under these
conditions, the temperature of the black polyethylene surface of the feed
trough exceeded 50 °C (120 °F).
• Our efforts have thus far been unable to identify a minimal or maximal
ambient temperature that would prevent detection of viral RNA of BVDV from
PI cattle.
• Precipitation
– Repeated positive results achieved when swabbing PI feed troughs
during light to moderate rainfall.
• Humidity
– Repeated positive results at 44 to 92% humidity.
39. Factors impacting the detection of viral
RNA of BVDV from consumption surfaces
• Time between surface contact and sample
collection
– Research results indicate that sample collection within
6 hours of trough contact will provide repeatable and
diagnostically sensitive results.
• Sample handling
– Research results validate refrigerated storage of
diagnostic samples.
• Time between sample collection and assay for
viral RNA
– Research results validate refrigerated storage of
diagnostic samples up to 10 days after collection.
