Q

When preserving pathological specimens, the vol of formalin should

A

Exceed ten times formalin to tissue

22
Q

Which preservative is particularly toxic to humans

A

Toluene

23
Q

Acth stim test

A

Basal cortisol level is first measured
Then patient is given an iv injection of synthetic Acth which will stimulate release of cortisol
A second sample is taken two hours later
Elevated levels of cortisol indicate cushings
Decreased levels indicate Addison

24
Q

Low dose dexmethasone suppression test

A

Basal cortisol level is measured
Then given iv low dose dex
Second sample is take 8 hrs later
Cortisol levels should normally decrease
A high post Injection cortisol level indicates hyperadrenocorticism
An overnight dex suppression test is performed in horses with suspected cushings

25
Q

High dose dex suppression test

A

Used to distinguish between pituitary dependant and non pituitary dependent hyperadrenocorticism in dogs
Basal cortisol level measured
Then high dose dex given iv.
Sample taken three hours later and a third 8 hours
Patients with pituitary dependent cushings commonly have low level
Non pituitary dependent will have above base level

Appear granular due to degeneration of other cells such as rbcs
Seen where acute nephritis and chronic renal failure

37

Epithelial cells from renal tubules in a hyaline matrix

Seen in patients with acute nephritis

A

Cats with renal disease

Dogs with dm
