Q

there is a case right at the beginning of this

(V. Bone Diseases of Unknown Cause)

(Metaphyseal Osteopathy)

  1. remissions/exacerbations over weeks to months
  2. important - can dogs recover?

how so?

  1. Post-vaccination metaphyseal osteopathy in what?
  2. Unknown cause, but interesting recent developments!!!
A
  1. yes! - with supportive care!!

Q

(V. Bone Diseases of Unknown Cause)

(Metaphyseal Osteopathy)

  1. colony of dogs with what?
  2. so get many what?
  3. what percentage of these dogs gets metaphyseal osteopathy at 10-12 weeks of age?
  4. what lead to resolution of all symptoms/lesions?
A
  1. combined leukocyte adhesion deficiency (CLAD)

Lack CD18 expression on neutrophil surface

Neutrophils do not marginate or extravasate and
cannot phagocytose by CD18

  1. system infections
  2. 75-85%
  3. Hematopoietic stem cell transplants

Q

another case at 21:04!

(Bone Disorders of Unknown Cause)

(Hypertrophic Osteopathy: Pathogenesis)

  1. Pulmonary lesions may lead to what?
  2. Lesions similar to HO can be reproduced in dogs by doing what?
A
  1. reflex vasomotor changes (mediated by vagus nerve) and increased blood flow to extremities

(Regression of bone lesions occurs if primary lesion is removed AND also after vagotomy)

  1. creating shunts that allow blood to bypass pulmonary circulation

(Increased arterial pressure, hyperemia, and edema of periosteum lead to thickening of the periosteum by fibrous tissue (early) and new bone formation (later))

Q

(VI. Neoplastic Conditions of Bones)

  1. Primary skeletal tumors common in what?
  2. assume malignant or benign?

(fibrous tumor of bone)

  1. called what?
  2. located where?
  3. more or less likely to metastatize vs. osteosarcoma
A
  1. dogs

(Dogs > cats >>> other species (uncommon))

  1. Malignant until proven benign
  2. Fibrosarcoma

Q

(Neoplastic Conditions of Bones)

(Cartilage-forming tumors)

  1. rare, except in what?
  2. difficult to diagnose and classify?

what may distinguish malignant from benign?

A
  1. sheep
  2. yep

one mitotic figure

( Clinical information regarding behavior of the tumor is important)

(pic - mitotic figure that didn’t indicate neoplasm in cartilage - very unusual!!!)

  4. Occur more commonly in pelvis, nasal cavity, sternum, and ribs or in long bones?
A
  1. chondroma
  2. Chondrosarcoma - Malignant neoplasm in which cartilaginous matrix is produced

(notice in pic that it is mostly in appendicular skeleton)

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. osteoid
  2. Bone infarction

 Previous fractures
 Metallic fixation devices 

Viral origin in mice

20
Q
