Q

what are the 3 types of muscle fibers? Include their speeds of contraction & relationship to fatigue

A

Type 1– slow contracting

Type 2a– fast twitch; fatigue resistant

Type 2b–fast twitch; fatigue sensitive

*As you move from type 1 to 2b, mitochondria # decreases, myosin ATPase activity increases

Q

With corticosteroid myopathy affects type ___ muscle fibers. We expect CK to be _____ because it causes muscle ______.

A

Q

How do malignant hyperthermia and exercise-induced collapse differ (2 ways)

A

1) with EIC muscles are FLACCID; with MH they are rigid

2) EIC animals will spontaneously recover
MH requires immediately cooling therapy

24
Q

What dictates where an amputation is done?

25
When doing amputation, when would leaving excess tissue/structures be indicated?
If you planning to use a prosthesis
26
Most common protocol for radiation palliative therapy for OSA
consecutive day dosing
27
Elevation of which enzyme on serum chemistry is a poor prognositc indicator for OSA?
ALP
28
4 most common locations for canine OSA
*AWAY FROM ELBOW, TOWARD KNEE* distal radius proximal humerus distal femur proximal tibia
29
MST for canine OSA with: 1) extirpation + chemo 2) amputation alone 3) palliative radiation
1) ~1yr 2 & 3) 4-6 months
30
Location of OSA where would be assoc. with a better prognosis and why?
Mandible/maxillary region Lower met rate (50% compared to 90%)
31
How is feline OSA different?
Met rate is much lower and amputation alone can produce good long-term survival
32
Horses can develop compensatory lameness on the ______ ______ limb due to overloading
diagonal paired limb
33
Which important structure/area is not blocked by the palmar digital nerve block?
Dorsal hoof
34
Bruised sole involving the bar is called
corn
35
Which nerve block would be best for diagnosis of bruised sole?
Abaxial sesamoid
36
Pedal osteitis is most common in which breed of horse? Which feet?
Standardbred Most commonly forefeet
37
The most common cause of lameness in horses
subsolar abscess
38
2 instances when antibiotics would be indicated for tx of sub solar abscess
1) it's a foal or weanling | 2) P3 involvement (or joint sepsis)
39
Most common presentation for a horse with navicular syndrome
chronic bilateral forelimb lameness
40
T/F: radiographs are an important tool in the diagnosis of navicular syndrome
FALSE rads are important for PROGNOSIS only
41
Most common complication of palmar digital neurectomy?
Neuroma formation
42
Most common presentation for fracture of navicular bone
acute to chronic unilateral forelimb lameness
43

44
A deep digital flexor tenotomy is considered a salvage procedure for horses affected with?
chronic laminits *only pasture sound
45
Which salvage procedure for a horse with chronic laminitis would allow them to have an athletic career?
Inferior check ligament desmotomy
46
Classic radiographic finding assoc. with keratoma?
resorption of P3
47
Puncture wounds in which location can lead to infection of the navicular bursa
near mid-point of frog (or more caudal) we don't worry about anything more cranial (i.e. point of frog)

What are the 6 types of P3 fxs?
``` type 1--wing (non-articular) type 2-- wing, articular type 3-- down middle (most common) type 4-- extensor process type 5--comminuted type 6--toe/margin ```
49
As far as side bones are concerned, what is the limiting factor that can lead to lameness?
if they become immobile
50
What is quittor?
when the lateral cartilages of P3 become infected and necrose
51
Most important goal of mandibular fx repair?
maintaining occlusion
52
Tension side of the mandible is?
ORAL surface
