Enterolithiasis in a cat.

An 8-year-old female Persian cat was brought in for evaluation of chronic vomiting. The presence of opaque enteric foreign bodies and intestinal obstruction along with azotaemia, hyperphosphataemia, moderate anaemia and peritoneal fluid were revealed following appropriate diagnostic work-up. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed jejunoileal dilation, ileocaecal stenosis, and numerous foreign objects in the jejunoileum. These foreign objects and ileocaecal stenosis were surgically removed, and intestinal resection and anastomosis was performed. The patient recovered favourably. Analysis revealed that the foreign objects were composed of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Intestinal inflammation and stenosis secondary to enterolithiasis may have developed following ingestion of cat litter or a previous unrelated surgical intervention. We were unable to delineate the inciting pathogenesis in this particular case.

[A development of the network for functional trainings in daycare services in a large district].

After the Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) regulation has been enacted, all the daycare agencies/institutions must provide functional trainings to their clients as one of the standard services. However, the regulation is limited only to their personnel arrangement rather than the service content, which is left to each agency/institution. We feel that functional trainings as a daycare service need more attention so that we can bridge the content gaps between agencies/institutions. To solve this problem, we planned to send training professionals to these daycare providers in the surrounding areas. At the same time, we have been holding training courses for daycare stuff and each trainer, which contributed to fill the knowledge and skill gaps between these trainers'. The purpose of this paper is to report our study with some suggestions about the ideal functional trainings in the future daycare services.
