Q

Periarticular osteophyte formation

A

Focal hyperostosis at attachment points of joint capsule; edges of articular surface. Due to abnormal joint loading and instability.
- this is a feature of chronic changes around the joint. The abnormal joint loading will cause hyperostosis at the periphery of the joint.

Urolithiasis

A

stone formation around nidus

  • usually a mineral precipitate
  • predisposing factors : alkaline urine, dehydration, bacterial infection, diet
  • Obstruction at narrow points such as the sigmoid flexure
36
Q

Common neoplasms of the lower urinary tract

A

Transitional cell carcinoma
Leiomyoma
Leiomyosarcoma (along the smooth muscle)

37
Q

Leptospirosis in the Urinary tract

A

Acute- hemoglobinuric nephrosis
Chronic- renal disease
- enlarged nodular kidneys
- lymphogranulomatous and purulent tubulointerstitial nephritis

38
Q

What is the apperance of the kidney when there is chronic glomerular nephritis

A

The kidney is smaller than it should be. Tend to maintain a normal shape, but have blebbed apperance with white flecks to it.

39
Q

Renal dysplasia

A

-congenital/neonatal defects
Inherited in several breedds
-CRF by 3 years of age
Small segmentally fibrotic kidneys

40
Q

When a sheep liver is presented to you and it is diffusely black brown in color

A

Copper toxicosis

  • Cu accumulates in the liver
  • Massive release of Cu from liver -> acute hemolysis
  • hemaglobinuric nephropathy
41

42
Q

Ulcer

A

defect in cornea through the basement membrane

43
Q

Keratitis

A

The inflammation of the cornea

44

A

replacement of bone marrow by non-native tissue/cells

46
Q

SCID in foals

A

hyoplasia of the thyus

47
Q

splenic histocytic sarcoma

A

splenic mass of macrophage lineage

48
Q

Pathogenesis for cushings in a horse

A

Equine chromophobe adenoma fo pars intermedia causes pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction.
- A fnctional tumor increases ACTH-> as this expands into the hypothalamus, there is impaired ADH production leading to hirsutism and hyperhidrosis, PU/PD

49
Q

Canine “cushing’s like syndrome

A

Due to a functional chromaphobe adenoma. This increases the ACTH secreation and causes diffuse adrenal cortical hyperplasia.

50
Q

What is the sequella to pituitary adenoma that is non-functional

A

there will by bilaterally symmetrical atrophy of the adrenal cortex

51
Q

What is the sequella to a pituitary adenoma in a canine that is functional

A

bilaterally symetrical hypertrophy of the adrenal glands

52
Q

An increase in calcitonin will do what to serum calcium levels

A

Decrease serum calcium (This is antagonistic with PTH)

53
Q

What clinical signs will you see in a dog with hypothyroidism

A

bilaterally symetrical alopecia, epidermal atrophy, hypercholesterolemia

54
Q

In concentric hypertrophy of the heart what happens to the volume of fluid the heart can hold?

A

it decreases. The lumen size is smaller

55
Q

What are the 3 zones of the adrenal cortex?

A

zona glomerulosa, Zona fasiculata, Zona REticularis

56
Q

What is the function of the adrenal gland?

A

release of epinephrine and norepinephrine

57
Q

Pheochromocytoma

A

neoplasm of the adrenal medulla

58
Q

If you have hyperadrenocorticism in ferrets, what do you expect to see as changes in the ferret

A

Increased estrogenic production, so feminization ; persistant estrus

59
Q

If you increase PTH, what will happen to calcitonin and calcium levels?

A

decreased calcitonin and increased calcium

60
Q

If you have a functional parathyroid adenoma, what else will you see?

A

Fibrous osteodystrophy with hypercalcemia

61
Q

Anal sac adenocarcinomas in dogs secrete what?

A

PTH related peptide causing a hyperparathyroidism, and FOD.

62
Q

What are soem clinical signs you would see with a pheochromacytoma
