Lightening stroke and electrocution in animals
•
0 likes•78 views
Lightning stroke and electrocution in animals can occur following exposure to high-voltage electric currents during thunderstorms. Signs may include bone fractures, unconsciousness, or immediate death. For animals that recover, residual nervous system signs may persist. Treatment involves central nervous system stimulants and artificial respiration, while some cases may result in singed fur, burns, or fractures of long bones or vertebrae.

A 26-year-old man was found in a hypothermic and confused state after attempting to run through water. His ECG showed atrial fibrillation and Osborn waves, characteristic findings seen in hypothermia. Osborn waves result from a prominent transient outward potassium current under hypothermic conditions. After rewarming, the ECG returned to normal sinus rhythm without Osborn waves. Hypothermia can cause typical ECG changes due to cardiac tissue conduction slowing and shaking artifacts.
The transistor
The transistor is a semiconductor electronic device invented in 1947 at Bell Laboratories by John Bardeen, Walter Houser Brattain, and William Bradford Shockley. It performs functions such as amplification, oscillation, switching, or rectification, and replaced the triode thermionic valve. There are three common transistor amplifier settings: common emitter, common base, and common collector. The transistor is now virtually ubiquitous, being incorporated into everyday electronic devices like radios, televisions, computers, and cell phones.

Symptoms in cattle include convulsions, blindness, tremors, and death if not treated. Treatment involves calcium versenate injections and thiamine supplements. Upon autopsy, increased cerebral and meningeal vessel congestion may be seen.
2. Arsenic poisoning results from ingestion of insecticidal dips, sprays, herbicides, or feed additives. It causes either a fatal gastroenteritis or a syndrome of incoordination and blindness. The best antidote is dimercaptopropanol or
Blood groups of animals
1. Blood groups exist in many animal species and involve antigens on red blood cells. Cross-matching is important to avoid transfusion reactions.
2. Whole blood, packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and platelet-rich plasma can be transfused to treat various conditions like anemia, coagulation disorders, and thrombocytopenia.
3. The proper technique for blood transfusion involves carefully monitoring physiologic parameters, starting slowly and gradually increasing the infusion rate, and flushing the line after completion to prevent adverse reactions.
Antibiotics used in animals
This document summarizes the salient features of β-lactam antibiotics and their mode of action, classification, spectrum of activity, and common adverse effects. It discusses penicillins, cephalosporins, and their subclasses. Penicillins inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin binding proteins. They are more active against gram-positive bacteria. Cephalosporins have a similar mode of action but their activity spectrum varies between generations from gram-positive to broad-spectrum. Common adverse effects for both classes include hypersensitivity reactions and dysbiosis.
Antiseptics and disinfectants used in veterinary
This document discusses antiseptics and disinfectants. It defines them as substances that kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Antiseptics are used on living surfaces like skin, while disinfectants are used on inanimate surfaces.

Feed additives
This document discusses various types of feed additives and their uses. It defines feed additives as ingredients added to basic feed mixes in small amounts to fulfill specific needs. The FDA regulates their use and new additives require clearance. Additives are used to alter animal metabolism, growth, digestion and more. Major classes include growth promoters, medicines, hormones, antioxidants and preservatives. Specific additives mentioned include antibiotics, coccidiostats, hormones, flavors, enzymes and more. All require careful handling and use according to label for safety and effectiveness.
Chick grading and sexing
This document discusses chick grading procedures at hatcheries and farms. It describes how chicks are graded at hatcheries based on sex, quality parameters like activity level, down/appearance, eyes, legs, and weight. Chicks are classified into grades A, B, C based on weight and abnormalities. Grading is also done at farms to separate low and high weight chicks. Sexing methods like vent and feather sexing are outlined. The advantages of grading include providing quality chicks and uniform flocks. Proper packing and recording of data is also emphasized.
Pcr & Real time pcr
PCR and real-time PCR are techniques for amplifying small amounts of DNA. PCR was invented in 1985 by Kary Mullis and allows copying of DNA in vitro. Real-time PCR monitors PCR progress in real time using fluorescent reporters. Both techniques require template DNA, primers, DNA polymerase (Taq), buffers, and undergo cycles of denaturing, annealing and extension. Key factors that influence PCR include the quality of template DNA, concentration of reagents, primer design, and annealing temperature.
Lactose intolerance
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk, due to a deficiency in the enzyme lactase. While infants produce lactase to break down lactose in mother's milk, production normally declines after weaning for most mammals. For humans and some other species, some populations have developed persistence of lactase production into adulthood. Symptoms of lactose intolerance include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and vomiting as the undigested lactose ferments in the colon. It can be managed by limiting dairy or providing lactase supplements.

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
