The use of 51Cr for sheep red blood cell survival studies.

The red blood cell half-life as determined by 51Cr-labelled autologous cells in five adult sheep was 13.7 days. In contrast, the red blood cell life span measured by cohort 59Fe-labelling in six adult sheep was 111.7 days. The rapid loss of 51Cr-activity from the circulation appears to result from rapid elution of the label from the circulating red cells. 51Cr does not appear to be a suitable isotope for erythrokinetic studies in sheep.

Fibrocartilaginous embolic myelopathy in a horse.

Fibrocartilaginous embolic myelopathy was diagnosed in a 11-year-old, male, Tennessee Walking Horse by histopathological examination of the spinal cord after the horse was killed because of severe neurological dysfunction. Both ventral funiculi of C6 and C7 cervical spinal cord had extensive necrosis with blood vessels containing fibrocartilaginous emboli. A similar fibrocartilaginous embolus was observed in a single large spinal artery adjoining the vertebral leptomeninges.
