Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A small percentage of cattle exposed to high altitude develop marked pulmonary hypertension often leading to right heart failure (high mountain disease). A larger percentage of the cattle develope only moderate pulmonary hypertension and apparently adapt to this hypoic environment. The reasons for the difference in pulmonary pressor responses between cattle are unknown. Based on the belief that this may relate to differences in blood oxygen transport, this study was undertaken to determine the character of oxyhemoglobin dissociation curves (ODC) of cattle acutely and chornically exposed to high and low altitudes. Studies involving a total of 20 Hereford cattle were carried out at 503, 1524, and 3084 meters natural altitude and at 4572 m simulated altitude in a hyperbaric chamber. Of the cattle resident at 1524 m, on half had been selectively bred for resistance to pulmonary hypertension and the other half for relative susceptibility. The ODC for the altitude resistant and susceptible cattle were not significantly different at either 1542 m or 4572 m. Comparing susceptible and resistant cattle, no significant differences were found in acidity, temperature, carbon dioxide tension, oxygen tension, ATP, DPG and K+. After 18 days altitude exposure, the erythrocyte Na= concentration was significantly higher in susceptible compared with resistant cattle. Susceptible cattle tended to have lower arterial oxygen tension, pH values, and saturations than the resistant. Susceptible cattle had significantly higher hematocrits than the resistant after both 11 and 18 days altitude exposure. Hemoconcentration is believed to be the reason for the increased hematocrits since on differences were found in numbers of erythrocytes or mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). Dissociation curves for cattle chroically exposed and native residents of 503 and 3048 meters were significantly different. The oxygen tension required foe 50% saturation (P 50) for lowland cattle was 30.5 mm Hg compared to 25.1 mm Hg for high altitude cattle. Hemoglobin concentrations and MCHC values were significantly higher in the low altitude cattle. Erythrocyte inorganic phosphate and DPG concentrations were higher in the high altitude cattle. From the low (P 50) value and high red cell concentrations of DPG it was inferred that the hemoglobin oxygen affinity in cattle is not significantly affected by DPG levels. The postion of the ODC in cattle was concluded to be of little consequence for their adaptation to short term high altitude hyoxia. For long term adaptation to altitude the ODC position appears to be of greater importance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bovine Medicine provides practical and comprehensive information oncattle disease and production and is a key reference for all largeanimal vets. Since the first edition was published in 1991 therehave been significant improvements in disease control andmanagement of cattle. Almost all parts of the book have beenupdated and completely rewritten. There are new chapters onsurgery, embryo transfer, artificial insemination, ethno-veterinarymedicine and biosecurity, and a new consolidating chapter on theinteraction between the animal, environment, management anddisease. The previous edition has sold all over the world, and as aresult of this a greater emphasis has been placed on conditions andtheir treatment in areas other than temperate regions. A newsection entitled "Global Variation in Cattle Practice" has beenincluded with contributors discussing bovine medicine practice intheir part of the world. All in all this is an outstanding resource for any practisingvet and an excellent reference for veterinary students.

Download or read book The Right Heart written by Sean P. Gaine and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heart and lung are intricately linked. When the heart is affected by disease, the lungs will often show some related pathological or clinical conditions and vice versa. Pulmonary heart disease is by definition a condition when the lungs cause the heart to fail. The left ventricle in combination with the other structures in the “left heart” pumps blood throughout the body. The right ventricle (and structures of the “right heart”) pumps blood to the lungs where it is oxygenated and returned to the left heart for distribution. In normal circumstances, the right heart pumps blood into the lungs without any resistance. The lungs usually have minimal pressure and the right heart easily pumps blood through. However when there is lung disease present, like emphysema, chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) or pulmonary hypertension- the small blood vessels become very stiff and rigid. The right ventricle is no longer able to push blood into the lungs and eventually fails. This is known as pulmonary heart disease. Pulmonary heart disease is also known as right heart failure or cor pulmonale. The chief cause of right heart failure is the increase in blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary artery).
