Levels of feline infectious peritonitis virus in blood, effusions, and various tissues and the role of lymphopenia in disease outcome following experimental infection. [PDF]
Twenty specific pathogen free cats were experimentally infected with a virulent cat-passaged type I field strain of FIPV. Eighteen cats succumbed within 2-4 weeks to effusive abdominal FIP, one survived for 6 weeks, and one seroconverted without outward ...

Glutamine and Glutamate in Ascitic Fluid of Dogs [PDF]
The amino acid pattern in the ascites of 79 dogs was examined. The concentration of glutamine in neoplastic ascites is significantly lower than in cardial effusions. In contrast, glutamate is significantly higher in neoplastic ascites than in cardial ascites. Using an arbitrary discrimination value of 0.28 for the glutamate/glutamine ratio, purulent or

AN Alternative Two-Fluid Formulation Of a Partially Ionized Plasma [PDF]
In a recent paper (Krishan 2021), a two-fluid description of a partially ionized plasma was presented in which electron fluid and the neutral fluid were combined appropriately into one fluid, christened as ENe fluid, and treat the ions as the second fluid. Some of the electrostatic modes of this two-fluid system were studied.

Ultrasonic differentiation of types of ascitic fluid [PDF]
A review of 65 cases of proven ascites was done to assess the accuracy of ultrasound in distinguishing transudates from exudates. In 10 patients with malignant ascites, ultrasound suggested this in six by showing matted bowel loops, loculation, or hepatic metastasis.

Evaluation of electrolytes in the serum and ascitic fluid in broilers with Ascites syndrome [PDF]
Ascites is defined as an accumulation of excessive amounts of serous fluid in the abdominal cavity. Ascites is a metabolic disorder with multi-factorial predisposing factors. Increased mortality is often observed in broilers with rapid growth in the form

A new flow cytometric method for differential cell counting in ascitic fluid
Cell counts in bodyfluids such as ascitic fluid can be difficult to perform and report rapidly. The current gold standard for cell counting in body fluids is a suitable automated cell counter or a manual counting chamber, combined with differential ...
