Disorders in a beagle breeding colony were discussed, based on 472 clinical charts made in 1974-1983. In 201 neonates less than a week old, hypothermia associated with pneumonia was mostly seen. In 31 puppies from one week to two months old and in 46 young dogs from two months to a year old, pneumonia, canine parvovirus infection, dermal abscess and dermatosis were mostly found. In 91 dogs aged from one to five, trauma, intervertebral disc protrusion, dermal abscess, dystocia, claudication and otohematoma were frequently noted. In 103 animals over five years old, intervertebral disc protrusion, tumors, abscess, trauma and otohematoma were observed most often.

Patients with functioning renal allografts requiring aortic reconstruction pose a considerable challenge to the vascular surgeon. A variety of strategies for renal allograft preservation during intervention have been described including hypothermia, indwelling shunts, cold renal perfusion, axillofemoral bypass, and endovascular stent-grafting. Reported here are two cases of successful aortic reconstruction utilizing standard open surgical techniques designed simply to minimize warm renal ischemia. The first case was that of a 55 year-old patient with a functional renal allograft originating from the right external iliac artery, who presented acutely with large symptomatic aortic and bilateral iliac artery aneurysms. He was treated with aorto-right femoral/left iliac bypass grafting. The right femoral anastomosis was performed first so that warm renal ischemia was limited to the 34 min required to perform the proximal end-to-end aortic anastomosis. The second case was that of a 44-year-old patient also with a transplanted kidney originating from the right external iliac artery. He presented with worsening hypertension, decreasing renal function, claudication, and severe aortoiliac occlusive disease. He was treated with aorto-left femoral bypass grafting via a retroperitoneal approach, followed by femorofemoral crossover bypass for retrograde perfusion of the kidney (total warm ischemia time 20 min). Both patients recovered uneventfully without a decrement in renal function and remain well on follow-up. It is concluded that standard open surgery without adjunctive shunts or bypasses remains a viable treatment option for these patients, provided warm renal ischemia can be minimized.

Arterial entrapment syndrome (AES) at elbow level is very rare and to our knowledge no case of AES by lacertus fibrosus in the cubital fossa in presence of brachial artery duplication has been described to date. We describe a rare case of acute arterial thrombosis of one of two brachial arteries highlighted in the cubital fossa which developed after strenuous right elbow flexor muscle activity and hyper-extensions presumably related to AES by lacertus fibrosus at elbow level. A 43-year-old right-handed woman, experienced paleness, coldness and numbness of the right hand, after 8 consecutive hours of gardening. As she worked, her ipsilateral flexor elbow muscles remained in prolonged and inappropriate tension. Clinical examination evidenced the absence of radial artery pulse in the wrist and mild hypothermia in the second and third finger. During surgical exploration two anastomosed brachial arteries were detected in the cubital fossa under the lacertus fibrosus. The lateral superficial brachial artery was occluded. Intraoperative arteriography evidenced brachial artery duplication at the third superior of the arm and normal vascular pattern at the forearm level. In cases of unexplained atypical intermittent upper extremity claudication or acute ischemic symptoms an AES should always be ruled out, particularly when symptoms are exacerbated by strenuous upper extremity activity or when upper limb muscular hypertrophy is evident. In these cases a thorough dynamic clinical and instrumental examination is mandatory to confirm a diagnosis of AES and to avoid possible future ischemic complications.
