Isolation of bovine adenovirus type 7 from calves with pneumonia and enteritis.

Bovine adenovirus type 7 was isolated from a 10-month-old calf with fibrinopurulent pneumonia and from 2 newborn calves with pneumoenteritis. The viruses were isolated on calf lung and adrenal gland cell cultures and were identified as serotype 7 by immunoelectron microscopy and serum-neutralization tests.

Malignant catarrhal fever in bison.

Malignant catarrhal fever was diagnosed in 3 herds of American bison (Bison bison) in South Dakota from 1973 to 1976. Clinical signs included depression, nasal and ocular discharge, conjunctivitis and keratitis, and diarrhea. Herd morbidity ranged from 3 to 53.8%, and mortality was 100%. At necropsy, ulcerative lesions were found throughout the alimentary tract, trachea, and bronchi. Microscopically, necrotizing vasculitis without thrombosis was found in virtually every organ examined.

Blood and tissue levels of [14C]isosorbide dinitrate after oral and intravenous administration to rat.

Rat blood and various tissues were analyzed for levels of isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN), an antianginal drug, after the administration of 14C-labeled compound. Unaltered [14C]ISDN was found in all tissues analyzed and in the circulating blood for up to 4 hours after p.o. or i.v. administration. These results clearly show that ISDN is not completely degraded in a single pass through the liver after either route of administration. ISDN concentration (nanograms of ISDN per gram wet weight of tissue) in vascular tissue were significantly greater than other tissues or the blood.

Necropsy and laboratory findings in free-living deer in South Dakota.

In a diagnostic survey of diseases in wild white-tailed deer (62 cases) and mule deer (12 cases) the most common findings were traumatic injury (20%), nontraumatic hemorrhage (13%), polioencephalomalacia (11%), and bacterial infections (9%). Although epizootic hemorrhagic disease was suspected in several cases, the virus was isolated from only 1 white-tailed deer.

The effectiveness of mobile coronary care in a nonurban area.

During an eight-month period 225 patients in a nonurban area (65,000 population) received care from a mobile coronary care unit (MCCU) staffed by coronary care nurses from the hospital coronary care unit. There were 29 (13%) deaths. One hundred and twenty-six of the patients were eventually diagnosed as coronary disease cases (including the 29 deaths) while 99 were released with the noncardiac diagnoses. The provision of definitive emergency medical care prior to hospitalization resulted in eight lives definitely saved (three "long-term saves" and five "short-term saves") and seven lives possibly saved (six long-term saves and one short-term save). On an annual basis, per 100,000 population, these results would account for 18.5 definite saves (6.9 long-term saves and 11.5 short-term saves) and 16.2 possible saves (13.9 long-term saves and 2.3 short-term saves).

Reovirus-like agent associated with neonatal diarrhea in pronghorn antelope.

Reovirus-like particles were demonstrated by negative stain electron microscopic examination of the feces from antelope fawns with diarrhea. Fluorescent antibody tests on frozen sections of ileum from one dead antelope fawn and immunoelectron microscopy tests on feces from two live fawns provided evidence that the antelope agent was serologically related to the neonatal calf diarrhea reovirus-like agent.

Data retrieval in the coronary care unit: prospective vs. retrospective.

A standardized system for recording patient care data for medical audit was developed and implemented in six community hospitals' coronary care units. It utilized the principles of predefining the data base and having both nurses and physicians participate. This system was compared with conventional retrospective record abstraction as a source of information for medical audit. The results suggest that the proposed system produces slightly more clinical data relevant to diagnostic impressions. Accuracy is comparable to that achieved by standard computerized abstraction procedures. Such an approach is readily adaptable for implementing medical audit to meet the requirements currently imposed upon community hospitals.

Non-physician development of problem lists from office records.

It has been argued that conversion of office records to the problem-oriented medical record entails a prohibitive cost in money and physician time. This study reports an evaluation of the cost of preparing problem lists from existing ambulatory patient records by non-physician personnel. The problem lists constructed by non-physician personnel were judged by physicians to be accurate, and the cost was much less than that required when physicians reviewed charts and prepared problem lists themselves. The method described here is an accurate and cost-effective way to begin conversion of outpatient records to P.O.M.R.

Comparison of antigenic structure and pathogenicity of bovine intestinal Chlamydia isolate with an agent of epizootic bovine abortion.

A bovine fecal Chlamydia, isolated from a clinically normal cow, had pathogenic capabilities and antigenic structure similar to those of a chlamydial agent of epizootic bovine abortion (EBA). Intravenous inoculation of the fecal chlamydia into a pregnant heifer caused abortion and lesions in the fetus indistinguishable from those of experimentally induced EBA. In serotests with species-specific complement fixation antigens, the intestinal agent was similar to the EBA agent.
