Test-retest reliability of resting-state cerebral blood flow quantification using pulsed Arterial Spin Labeling (PASL) over 3 weeks vs 8 weeks in healthy controls.

Arterial Spin Labeling is a valuable functional imaging tool for both clinical and research purposes. However, little is known about the test-retest reliability of cerebral blood flow measurements over longer periods. In this study, we investigated the reliability of pulsed Arterial Spin Labeling in assessing cerebral blood flow over a 3 (n = 28) vs 8 (n = 19) weeks interscan interval in 47 healthy participants.

[Possibilities and limits for therapy of amniotic hydrops in cattle. A review].

The review describes the occurrence, causes and clinical signs of bovine placental hydrops. Furthermore prognosis, operative and hormonal treatment possibilities for interruption of pathological gestation as well as subsequent treatment are discussed.

[Sonographic control of wound healing after caesarean section in cattle].

In this study, the use of transcutaneous ultrasonography for the post-operative control of wound healing after caesarean section in cattle was investigated. In 20 cows, admitted to our clinic because of dystocia, a caesarean section was performed via the left flank. Post-operatively, the laparotomy wound was checked with a 5.

[Examination of the total protein concentration and gamma-glutamyltransferase (gamma-GT) in calves during the first 14 days of life and their significance for predictions of health status in the first two postnatal weeks].

The objective of the present paper was to examine the development of the total protein concentration in blood serum and the gamma-GT activity in 49 calves in relation to the health status during the first 14 days of life. For this purpose, blood samples were taken immediately after birth of the animals, after 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours and from then onwards once a day with the calves being subject to a thorough clinical examination each time. All calves received pooled colostrum.
