11
Q

Muscle atrophy mechanisms

A

Decrease in size of cell or muscle.
Due to disuse,
cachexia - neoplastic cachexia, low muscle large fat amounts, systemic disease, symmetrical atrophy
denervation - following nerve damage, muscle atrophy occurs rapidly, loss of type 1&2 fibers
endocrine disease - hyperadrenocortism

Q

Muscle hypertrophy

A

Physiologic - increased size due to exercise

16
Q

Selenium/Vit E muscle necrosis

A

Low levels increase the chance/occurrence of oxidative injury
Common in ruminants, horses, pigs
Tongue, diaphragm and heart most common for examination

17
Q

Toxic causes for muscle necrosis

A

Growth promoting antibiotics
Toxic plants
Adriamycin

18
Q

Ionophore - growth promoting antibiotics

A

Monensin, iasalocid
Toxicity results from Ca overload more common in ruminants than horses

19
Q

Toxic plants

A

Cassia (coffee senna)

20
Q

Adriamycin

A

Chemotherapeutic agent
Cardiac muscle necrosis

21
Q

Exertional muscle necrosis

A

Exertional rhabdomyolysis
Common w horses w underlying PSM
Lumbar muscles severely effected myoglobinuria

22
Q

Capture myopathy

A

Similar to Exertional necrosis. From capture or restrain of nondom species, weakness/tremors
Se

23
Q

Trauma muscle necrosis

A

Crush injury, laceration, diaphragmatic hernia

24
Q

Ischemic muscle necrosis

A

Two kinds, compartment syndrome and downer syndrome

25
Q

Compartment syndrome

A

Swelling and intramuscular pressure within the facial sheath = pressure induced occlusion of blood supply

26
Q

Downer syndrome

A

Pressure induced necrosis in recumbent animals, pressure from weight can lead to ischemia

27
Q

Myositis - morph features & causes

A

Inflammation is the primary lesion, necrosis may be concurrent but is secondary to inflammation
Causes: bacterial, viral, parasitic, immune mediated

28
Q

Bacteria myositis

A

Black leg - clostridium chauvoei
Spore forming G+ anaerobic
Young ruminants, beef>dairy
Muscle injury - hypoxia - activation of latent spores
Sudden death

29
Q

Toxoplasma Gondii myositis

A

Young, small animals
Morphologic ally similar to Neospora caninum

30
Q

Immune mediated myositis

A

Polymyositis
Inflammation targeting skeletal muscle
Acute onset/slow progression
Esophageal dysfunction & resp T distress

31
Q

Immune mediated myositis - masticatory myositis

A

antibodies against 2M myosin protein
Targets masseter & temporalis muscle, difficulty eating. Acute = swollen chronic = atrophy

32
Q

Neoplasia - muscle tumors of striated muscle

A

Rhabdomyoma : occurs in striated muscle, heart of lamb, piglets, larynx of dogs
Rhabdosarcoma : more common, found in bladder of young dogs

33
Q

Neoplasia - muscle tumors of smooth muscle

A

Leiomyoma : GI tract, female repro tract, tan, modular, well delineated mass
Leiomyosarcoma : can occur in any organ
