Three out of ten young to adult wanderoos (M. silenus) of a breeding colony at the Rheine Zoo died within two days from a peracute illness, characterized by salivation, vomiting, apathy and minor CNS symptoms. Streptococcus equi ssp. zooepidemicus was isolated in pure cultures from all organs of two animals investigated bacteriologically. The strains were penicillin-susceptible, and penicillin treatment of all remaining animals cured two already sick animals and prevented further cases. A volunteer worker with upper respiratory disease was suspected as source of infection; contact with equine materials and rodents could be excluded.

Acute pancreatitis is probably commoner in children than was previously thought. In children it is most commonly associated with trauma or viral infection. The presentation may be subtler than in adults, requiring a high index of suspicion in the clinician. In three children, two boys aged 4 and 10 and a girl of 15 years, acute pancreatitis was suspected because of the findings at ultrasonography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography performed when the disease recurred (the boy aged 4), apathy and immobility without dehydration or other obvious causes (the boy aged 10), and severe abdominal pain in combination with vomiting (the girl). All three patients had severely increased (urinary) amylase levels. Most often, acute pancreatitis in children tends to be a self-limiting disease which responds well to conservative treatment.

Over 650 pigs died within a couple hours in a fattening unit with approximately 3,000 fattening spaces. The pigs showed vomiting, dyspnea, kyphosis, sunken flanks, diarrhea, and polyuria. Another striking symptom of the pigs, besides the apathy, was the aphonia, due to the calcification of the vocal cords. An acute vitamin D3-intoxication was found to be the cause. The pathologic findings, especially the histologic detection of calcification processes of the soft tissues, lead to the suspect of an intoxication with a vitamin D-like substance. Between 39,000 and 196,000 IU/kg of vitamin D3 have been detected in a ready-to-use food mix. 8.8 million IU/kg of crystaline vitamin D3 were found in an open whey bag. An explanation how vitamin D came into the bag could not be clarified to this point.

A 2-year-old boy with new-onset nephrotic syndrome developed recurrent vomiting, apathy and papilloedema. Superior sagittal sinus thrombosis was diagnosed on cranial CT and MRI. He gradually recovered after treatment with heparin, fresh frozen plasma and warfarin with complete resolution of the thrombosis after 1 month. Superior sagittal sinus thrombosis is an extremely rare complication of nephrotic syndrome in children. Early diagnosis is essential for institution of anticoagulation therapy and a successful outcome.

Benign paroxysmal torticollis of infancy (BPTI) is a disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of head tilt secondary to cervical dystonia. Attacks are often accompanied by vomiting, pallor, and ataxia, settling spontaneously within hours or days. Episodes begin within the first 12 months of life and resolve by 5 years. We report four patients with BPTI. Symptoms started from 3 months of age, with head tilting lasting between 10 minutes and 2 months; the shorter episodes were followed by vomiting, apathy, and unsteadiness. Head tilt became less prominent after infancy, replaced by vertigo and eventually by migraine headaches. Two patients came from a kindred with familial hemiplegic migraine linked to CACNA1A mutation. BPTI may be regarded as a migraine aura equivalent. The syndrome poses interesting questions regarding varying phenotypic expression of calcium channelopathies at different stages of development.

This paper attempts to study the psychosomatic reactions, especially the postoperative ones, of a group of 60 patients undergoing voluntary 1st trimester induced abortion in the hospital of Viterbo, Italy. Prior to the operation the patients were asked to complete questionnaire prepared by the doctor for the purpose of collecting data on patients' attitudes about the operation and their personal characteristics. 80% of women were married, and for about 80% the decision to abort had been made with the husband or partner. Reasons for the abortion were economic, 50%; health, 35%; and other, 15%. 71% of women had discussed the decision not only with their partner but with friends and family. 60% did not know anything about the female or male anatomy, 70% were afraid of the intervention, and especially of the anesthesia. 70% of women had reached menstruation without being prepared or without knowing what was happening to them; 40% had lived that experience with indifference, 25% with fear, and 10% with terror. Only 30% had sometimes used contraception, but rather irregularly. Most women came from low socioeconomic status, and had elementary school education only; all of them saw abortion as a negative fact, but a necessary one. Contrary to what is generally reported in the published literature about postanesthetic sequelae of this type of intervention, only 9 patients, or 15% had postanesthesia reactions, such as vomiting and vasomotor problems. The authors stress the importance of the choice of an appropriate anesthetic, especially in patients with a limited cultural background.

Loss of excretory function in acute renal failure results in the retention of catabolites and fluid. In the absence of available carbohydrate, endogenous fat and protein become the main caloric sources. This results in the rapid accumulation of keto acids and nitrogenous wastes. By providing readily available non-nitrogenous calories, protein catabolism is reduced, complete oxidation of fat is obtained and energy is provided to drive potassium into the intracellular compartment. The patient should be encouraged to eat despite his apathy, fear of vomiting and characteristically paranoid mood. Tube or parenteral feeding is complicated by the need to restrict fluid. Numerous small feedings are more successful than large meals. Hard candy and alcohol are often acceptable sources of calories, fat emulsions seldom. Oral hygiene aids feeding, and tranquilizers and anticholinergics are useful. If the patient does not take food by mouth, tube feeding may be carried out. Because of the bleeding tendency so often occurring in uremia, tube feeding may be contraindicated if it causes erosion of the pharynx or esophagus. Intravenous infusion of invert sugar, glucose and alcohol may be necessary if nutrition cannot be accomplished by other means.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of iron protein succinylate in the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia in pregnancy. One hundred and thirty anemic pregnant women were studied. Inclusion criteria were iron-deficiency type of anemia, and hemoglobin levels below of 11.5, 10.9 and 10.3 g/dl for the three trimesters of pregnancy, respectively. Twenty-five women who presented pregnancy-related complications were excluded during treatment. The remaining 105 were treated with 1600-mg iron protein succinylate per os daily for a period of four months. A group of anemia-related clinical signs and symptoms, and hematological parameters were recorded at the beginning of treatment, as well as two and four months later. They included epidermis and mucosal paleness, skin and nail lesions, glossitis, heart pulse, sickness, anorexia, apathy, ataxia, polypnea, insomnia, nervousness, paresthesias and other neurological symptoms; the hematological parameters included Hgb, hct, RBCs, WBCs, MCV, MCH, MCHC, PLTs, serum Fe and ferritin. Possible side or adverse effects were considered during treatment. The majority of symptoms and signs of anemia were gradually improved. There was a statistically significant increase in the means of Hgb, hct, WBCs, MCV, MCH, PLTs and serum ferritin (p < 0.05). Anemia was effectively treated in 100/105 (95.2%) women, but not in five patients (4.8%) who displayed poor compliance to the therapeutic protocol. There were transient and mild side-effects in seven (6.6%) treated women, namely diarrhea, epigastralgia, vomiting, and nausea, which however, did not necessitate discontinuation of the therapeutic protocol. Iron protein succinylate is an effective and well tolerated treatment of iron-deficiency anemia in pregnancy.

Brain tumors represent around a quarter of all solid tumors observed in the pediatric population. Infratentorial tumors are the most frequent, mostly encountered between 4 and 11 years of age. Early imaging is important because initial symptoms can be misinterpreted as statural and pubertal disorders or pseudoabdominal symptoms with apathy and vomiting in infants. Because signal abnormalities on MRI are most often not specific, it is essential to take into account the clinical and topographic characteristics of the lesion to establish an appropriate differential diagnosis. The main patterns of brain tumors observed in pediatrics are presented. Brain metastases are very unusual in children, in contrast to lepto-meningeal metastasis.

A 2-years old male Labrador retriever dog was presented with intermittent therapy-resistant diarrhoea, accompanied by vomiting, inappetence, apathy, and mild fever. The blood analysis showed an anaemia, neutrophilia, eosinophilia, and increased liver enzymes. Abdominal palpation was slightly painful. X-rays and echography revealed a severely enlarged liver with multiple cavernous structures. Histopathologic examination of liver biopsies showed a severe chronic granulomatous hepatitis with numerous parasitic cysts. Morphology of the cysts was compatible with the metacestode stage of Echinococcus multilocularis. The dog was only 2-years old at the time of diagnosis. Although alveolar hydatid disease of the liver is rare in dogs, it should be envisaged as a possible differential diagnosis in cases of space-occupying processes in the liver, even in young animals, as the incubation period of this disease in the dog can be considerably shorter than in humans.
