Abstract

Internal hemipelvectomy, the removal of the innominate bone with the adjacent iliacus, glutei and obturator muscles is the procedure of choice when primary malignant tumors involving this bone can be encompassed and removed with this operation. However, it requires a considerable effort in rehabilitation and, thus, is more suitable for the younger patient motivated for limb salvage.

Erection failure as a sequela to obstructive urolithiasis in a male goat.

A 14-month-old 40-kg Anglo-Nubian buck was referred for erection failure after recurrent bouts of obstructive urolithiasis. Previous episodes of obstructive urolithiasis were treated successfully with amputation of the urethral process, followed by an exploratory celiotomy and insertion of an indwelling Foley catheter into the bladder. The buck had been capable of intromission prior to the most recent episode of urethral obstruction. The results of physical examination and electroejaculation did not reveal any abnormalities, except failure to achieve erection. Contrast radiography of the corpus cavernosum penis (CCP), however, revealed failure of contrast media to migrate proximal to the sigmoid flexure. A diagnosis of obstruction of the CCP caused by cavernositis and fibrosis secondary to urolithiasis was made. A poor prognosis was given for breeding soundness. Although breeding soundness following obstructive urolithiasis may be enhanced by surgical intervention, impotence may result from obstruction of blood flow through the CCP secondary to urethral rupture or urethritis.

Plasticity of the somatosensory cortical map in macaque monkeys after chronic partial amputation of a digit.

Activity-dependent changes in cortical representational maps have been reported in many studies of adult mammals. Limits in extent of change have been attributed to limited divergence in the thalamocortical projection. However, studies have commonly been restricted to animals surviving less than a year following relatively modest peripheral sensory perturbations. After extensive deafferentation and long-term survival, more extensive changes, seemingly beyond the limits of thalamocortical divergence, have been reported. We report changes in the somatotopic map in area 3b of an adult macaque monkey, in which part of the index finger of one hand had been amputated two years previously. The representation of the remaining stump occupied the whole region of area 3b normally devoted to the representation of the entire digit. The skin surrounding the stump appeared to have been hyperinnervated by axons severed during the amputation. The hyperinnervation of remaining skin may have reactivated neurons of the somatosensory system silenced by the amputation, leading to the recovery of a cortical map but with a modified organization.
