Epistaxis

Discussion: Chordomas of the skull base represent significant challenges due to their midline position and their ability to engulf critical neurovascular structures located around them. In addition to these location issues, their biology represents significant challenges, as notocordal rests located throughout the clivus, often remote from the visible lesion, have the propensity to grow and recur. Both of these features are critical for the skull base surgeon, the former in determining the surgical

Indications for use – “a reason to prescribe a medication or treatment, also known as drug indication” (Mosby’s, pg 916, 2017). High-risk neuroblastoma is an indication of use for Unituxin (dinutuximab) (FDA, 2015). Desired effects – “the ability of a drug to achieve the desired effect, also known as efficacy” (Mosby’s, pg 593, 2017). Unituxin in combination with interleukin-2 (IL-2), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and 13-cis-retionic acid (RA) showed that 73 percent

2.3. Pathogenesis and clinical signs There are many factors that affect clinical signs and fate of BVDV infection that consequently resulting in highly variable clinical signs, some of those factors are virulence of the viral strain, age susceptibility, immune status, stage of pregnancy and complication by other pathogens (Liebler-Tenorio 2005). 2.3.1. Infection in non-pregnant seronegative animals 2.3.1.1. Subclinical infection It has been previously reported that BVDV subclinical infection is

Dengue History Dengue fever is considered to be a viral illness in 1906. Its first signs were cited in Chinese Encyclopedia in Chin Dynasty (AD 265-420). Because of its association with airborne arthropods close to water, it was called as the water poison (Khanani, Arif, & Shaikh, 2011). The word dengue is derived from Swahili saying Ka-Dinga Pepo meaning cramp like seizures. Its first documented outbreak occurred concurrently in Asia, Africa and North America in 1780s and the first clinical case

the raised pulmonary pressure means the capillaries in the lungs are prone to rupture (https://www.racing.com/news/2015-01-08/the-great-lasix-debate---how-well-is-it-understood).

Therefore, in terms of equine welfare it has considerable benefits with trainers, who use the drug to help alleviate the problem. An example of this is with the 1964 winner of the Kentucky Derby, Northern Dancer, who

So it is for that reason that I chose to write about pertussis. Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory disease and is
