   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

   Author : Elina Thorsson; [2015]
   Keywords : hypertrophic osteoarthropathy; digital clubbing; osteopathy; pathogenesis; etiology; wild; exotic; zoo; hypertrofisk osteoartropati; osteopati; patogenes; etiologi;

   Abstract : In this essay suggested pathogenesis of secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is reviewed. HOA, characterized by; periostitis, periosteal proliferation of tubular bones and arthritis can develop due to many different underlying diseases. The syndrome is most commonly seen with intra-thoracic malignancy or chronic pulmonary infections. READ MORE

3. 2. Does prenatal hypoxia lead to permanent cardiovascular change in the offspring?

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

   Author : Elisabeth Brolin; [2015]
   Keywords : Developmental programming; hypoxia; dofetilide; telemetry;

   Abstract : Chronic prenatal hypoxia is associated with intrauterine growth retardation and there is now some evidence that it also induces programmed hypertension in offspring. However these studies are generally confounded as hypoxia is either induced by maternal hypoxia or placental insufficiency. READ MORE

4. 3. Cardiorespiratory responses upon increased metabolism in the Ornate Tinamou, Nothoprocta ornata

   University essay from Biologi; Tekniska högskolan

   Author : Isabella Gasparini; [2012]
   Keywords : Chronic hypoxia; Ornate Tinamou; small heart; HR; VR; lowered temperature; exercise;

   Abstract : The Bolivian Ornate Tinamou, Nothoprocta ornata, lives higher than 3300 m above sea level and must constantly deal with a restricted availability of atmospheric oxygen, i.e., chronic hypoxia. Interestingly enough, the Ornate Tinamou has a small heart to body ratio, which implies a reduced ability in transporting oxygenated blood to the tissues. READ MORE

5. 4. Aortic Body Tumors in Dogs

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

   Author : Malin Eriksson; [2011]
   Keywords : Aortic body tumor; Heart base tumor; Chemodectoma; Aortakroppstumör; Hjärtbastumör; Cardiac tumor; Kemodektom; cardiac base tumor; Canine;

   Abstract : The purpose of this essay was to review the literature and describe the patophysiology, diagnosis, microscopic and macroscopic appearance of aortic body tumors in dogs. The tumors originate from the chemoreceptor organs situated at the base of the heart. The chemoreceptor organs are neuroendocrine cells responsible for surveillance of changes in e. READ MORE

6. 5. Expression of B-adrenergic receptors in chicken fetuses

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Sebastian Hedlund; [2006]
   Keywords : Chicken fetus; β-adrenergic receptor; Hypoxia; mRNA; Heart;

   Abstract : Chicken fetuses exposed to chronic hypoxia suffer from growth retardation and induces an overall sympathetic activity, including elevation of the concentration of circulating catecholamines. Simultaneously, hypoxic fetuses display a lowered β-adrenoreceptor (βAR) density in myocardial tissue. READ MORE
