Nala, a two-year, eight-month-old spayed female Cane Corso was presented to Heritage Animal Hospital for vomiting on February 1, 2017. Her owner complained that she had not been able to hold any food down since January 31, 2017. Nala had a foreign body surgery last month here at the clinic. The owner informed our staff that Nala had a rash around her incision for roughly the past two weeks. The owner stated she does not believe her dog ingested anything. During the physical exam, Nala appeared quiet, alert, and responsive. The technician assessed the oral cavity and Nala had tacky mucous membranes and pink gums. The capillary refill time was quoted to be less than 2 seconds. The dental exam was clinically normal. The eyes were bright, clear, …show more content…
The owner was instructed to give two 100mg tablets of Rimadyl orally once daily. This is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory used for relief in pain and inflammation. Give one 500mg capsule of Amoxicillin orally twice a day. This would help treat any bacterial infections and inhibit any growth of bacteria. Give two 20mg tablets of Famotidine orally once daily. This would help reduce the amount of acid the stomach makes so it would treat or prevent possible ulcers. Give one 15mg tablet of Mirtazapine orally once daily if not eating. This is an appetite stimulant would help stimulate her appetite if she does not eat. Make sure to restrict Nala's activity, which means no running, jumping, and rough housing for ten days. We recommended the client to check the incision daily for signs of swelling, redness, drainage, or irritation, and suggested having Nala wear an e-collar at all times. Nala should receive a special diet that consists of a low protein source such as turkey or chicken, along with a carbohydrate source such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, or rice. 1-cup protein and 2 cups carbohydrates. She may receive 1 cup per 10lbs. If she does not wish to make Nala a special bland diet, she may buy a special intestinal canned diet that Heritage sells. A special diet was recommended for patients such as Nala because of the digestibility, so it would not be as potent to the stomach. It may encourage one to eat, which supports the body in its recovery. The instructions stated that there does not need to be a re-check because no external suture placed, unless a complication arises. The owner was told to notify us if there was loss of appetite, refusal to drink, severe depression, lethargy, pain, vomiting, diarrhea or fever. Mentioned if she has any problems or questions to contact an emergency hospital or us during regular business hours after
In January 2005, contractors were excavating blocks of pavement to place electricity cables right at the corner of Ocean Street and Octavia Street, Narrabeen, NSW. The project was suspended due to an unanticipated discovery of a human skeleton buried underground, right beside a public bus shelter. The bones were in good state although some parts were missing. Fragments of primitive artefacts were also found around and inside the skeleton.

Jerry Huang, a male patient underwent a surgical procedure for an inflammatory intestinal disease. A small part of his intestine was removed, and he was on total parenteral nutrition before surgery; he continued on TPN after surgery for about ten days; then, he started on enteral nutrition which delivered very small feedings (DeBruyne & Pinna, 2012).

The band is adjustable (it is usually not filled until six weeks after surgery). The patient needs to be fully prepared for the reduction of food intake and educated about choices needed to achieve an adequate dietary intake. The patient needs to work with the procedure to eat appropriately and follow exercise and lifestyle choices appropriate for a weight-losing regimen, rather than try to follow the former lifestyle and eating habits. Since this procedure does not interfere with digestion and absorption, nutritional status ought not to be impaired, but commonly occurring problems (iron, vitamin D and calcium deficiency) may still occur. If the quality of the diet is believed to be poor after surgery, there may well be an inadequate intake of micronutrients. During weight-loss, medications which are continued (see below) may need to be given in liquid form, since tablets and capsules may not pass easily through the stricture. The gut is dynamic and does change in response to the reduced food intake, but the major changes of gut hormones seen after bypass surgery do not occur and there may be little effect on appetite control. Patients may not feel full after eating. They may be troubled by hunger after gastric banding and may need help to overcome
On my third day of clinical course I had an African America patient age 72, female, a retired high school teacher who was admitted for an Acute Diverticulitis with Perforation. She is diabetic and had a medical and surgical history of diverticulitis, High Cholesterol, Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM), Hysterectomy, and Scoliosis. She has been on clear liquid diet since she was admitted then she was Nothing by Mouth NPO for the CT scan for that day. When I got the assignment that I was going to be taking care of a patient with an acute diverticulitis, the first thing on my mind was that she will be in a severe abdominal pain, high fever due to infection because my aunty had same disease. To my surprise, she claimed a 0 /10 on a 0-10 pain scale. Her blood sugar and vital signs were normal except for respiratory that was 22. All her laboratory test results were normal including WBC. Patient concern was that she couldn’t have a bowel movement. She was medicated on Colace- a stool softener, morphine for pain, sulfran for nausea, and azactam an antibiotics.
NAGPRA is relevant to archaeological objects from the field and repositories. These items include Native American remains, associated or unassociated funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural heritage. It covers these objects if they are in federal or federally funded repositories and any public repository or museum that received federal funding before or since 1990. NAGPRA requires consultation, and proof of consultation, with Indian tribes if human remains or objects that may be covered by NAGPRA are likely to be excavated in the process of fieldwork or discovered accidentally. NAGPRA has impacted archaeological collections in quite a few ways. It has set standards for repatriation. It requires every federal agency and federally

Feline oral resorptive lesions (FORL), also known as feline stomatitis or more commonly feline tooth resorption, is a relatively common oral disease often seen in veterinary practice. The general nature of the disease is to eat away at the tooth structures similarly to cavaties or carries in humans, though the disease is not initiated in the same manner as humans as felines do not consume an overabundance of simple carbohydrates. In fact, it is not truly known what the cause of this disease is, though there are several potential factors that may initiate, worsen, or are general signs of FORL.
The defendant in this case is Mr. Wertz, a 26-year-old Caucasian male. While visiting his relatives, Mr. Wertz woke up in the middle of the night and drove to a nearby ranch with his rifle.

Our approach in managing wounds was far from being optimal in our own setting. After having read the article of Sibbald et al (1) and assisting to presentations during the first residential week-end, our approach at St. Mary 's Hospital Center 's Family Medicine Clinic must change. We were not classifying wounds as healable, maintenance or non-healable. We were always considering the wounds in our practice as healable despite considering the system 's restraints or the patients ' preferences. In the following lines, I will define and summarize the methods one should use in order to initial management of wounds and how to integrate it better to our site. The first goal we need to set is to determine its ability to heal. In order to ascertain if a wound is healable, maintenance or a non-healable wound.
