Musculoskeletal Flashcards
Mutation trait for HYPP
Autosomal dominant
Causative agent of digital proliferative papillomatosis
Treponema-like spirochetes
Diagnosis for atypical myopathy
Toxic metabolite: MCPA methylenecyclopropyl acetic acid –> in urine or blood
· Muscle: decreased free carnitine and increased carnitine esters
· Urine: organic acids (ethylmalonic and methylsuccinic) and glycine conjugates
· Glutaric acid (Not in survivor: mild form)
· Serum: acylcarnitines short (C2-C5) and medium chain (C6, C8 and C10)
Long-chain (C14-20)–> increased in fatal cases (may reflect severity of clinical course, very mild in survivor)
Pathogenesis of PSSM
Glycogenolysis abnormality or branching enzyme decreased activity
Foal that is weak and falls in the trailer, has a murmur and is hypoglycemic what diagnostic test to rule out glycogen branching enzyme deficiency (GBED)
Blood sample for genetic analysis= GBED mutation gene
What is true mechanisms of action of laminitis
endothelin 1 is increased (vasoconstriction)
Best diet for a horse with mild PSSM
low < 10% CHO and high Fat >10-15%
Best dx for a goat with udder indurance or hard udder no other Sx
CAE, AGID-ELISA
Lesion in the metatarsus in a cow, hard lesion, fracture of P3:
fluorosis
Best prognostic indicator for a cow that was floated in aqua cow due to paresis
that the cow leaves walking the tank after the first flotation.
cow with lesion of PDD: tx
topical antibiotics
Cow with signs of extended stifle and knuckled fetlock:
Sciatic paralysis
Sheep with separation of hoof wall: supplementation with?
Se, Zn??
Horse with hyperthermia in anesthesia
malignant hyperthermia: RYR1
Prognostic of glycogen branching enzyme deficiency in foals
Hopeless
