Word of the day

scrofulous

Literal: scrofula is a form of tuberculosis causing enlarged lymph nodes, particularly of the neck)

Figurative: morally tainted and corrupt

...as in "a scrofulous-looking child"

Today the condition is called “mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis”.

Correctly self diagnosed my infection before the doctor 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻

If anyone has advice for lymphadenitis pls lmk

[utterhomestucktrash]

If ur not following me on Twitter the health update is that I have a staph infection AND strep throat, lymphadenitis and the skin on my leg is completely numb.

I don't even think a doctor could tell me what's wrong at this point so please imagine me really healthy and I'll manifest it !!

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 462: Serologic, Virologic and Pathologic Features of Cats with Naturally Occurring Feline Infectious Peritonitis Enrolled in Antiviral Clinical Trials

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a multisystemic, generally lethal immuno-inflammatory disease of domestic cats caused by an infection with a genetic variant of feline coronavirus, referred to as the FIP virus (FIPV). We leveraged data from four different antiviral clinical trials performed at the University of California, Davis. Collectively, a total of 60 client-owned domestic cats, each with a confirmed diagnosis of naturally occurring FIP, were treated with a variety of antiviral compounds. The tested therapies included the antiviral compounds GS-441524, remdesivir, molnupiravir and allogeneic feline mesenchymal stem/stroma cell transfusions. Four client-owned cats with FIP did not meet the inclusion criteria for the trials and were not treated with antiviral therapies; these cats were included in the data set as untreated FIP control cats. ELISA and Western blot assays were performed using feline serum/plasma or ascites effusions obtained from a subset of the FIP cats. Normalized tissue/effusion viral loads were determined in 34 cats by a quantitative RT-PCR of nucleic acids isolated from either effusions or abdominal lymph node tissue. Twenty-one cats were PCR “serotyped” (genotyped) and had the S1/S2 region of the coronaviral spike gene amplified, cloned and sequenced from effusions or abdominal lymph node tissue. In total, 3 untreated control cats and 14 (23.3%) of the 60 antiviral-treated cats died or were euthanized during (13) or after the completion of (1) antiviral treatment. Of these 17 cats, 13 had complete necropsies performed (10 cats treated with antivirals and 3 untreated control cats). We found that anticoronaviral serologic responses were persistent and robust throughout the treatment period, primarily the IgG isotype, and focused on the viral structural Nucleocapsid and Membrane proteins. Coronavirus serologic patterns were similar for the effusions and serum/plasma of cats with FIP and in cats entering remission or that died. Viral #RNA was readily detectable in the majority of the cats in either abdominal lymph node tissue or ascites effusions, and all of the viral isolates were determined to be serotype I FIPV. Viral nucleic acids in cats treated with antiviral compounds became undetectable in ascites or abdominal lymph node tissue by 11 days post-treatment using a sensitive quantitative RT-PCR assay. The most common pathologic lesions identified in the necropsied cats were hepatitis, abdominal effusion (ascites), serositis, pancreatitis, lymphadenitis, icterus and perivasculitis. In cats treated with antiviral compounds, gross and histological lesions characteristic of FIP persisted for several weeks, while the viral antigen became progressively less detectable. https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/16/3/462?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

SICKFIC TIME!!!! kinda

this isn’t snz, it’s not even fully a sickfic, just the doctor being a massive nerd and donna being done with it

also this is fully inspired by my nursing major ass being an absolute nerd. like tonsils are drained with an 18 gauge needle??? that’s HUGE…. anyway…..

——

“Oh! Yes! Great! You’re awake!” Donna heard The Doctor shout as she trudged towards him. She winced slightly as she came closer. His childlike energy certainly wasn’t helping her pounding headache.

“Come on! I figured out exactly where we’re going today!” he said, practically bouncing off the walls.

“The only place I’m going today is my bed, Spaceman,” she croaked. “Right after I make my tea.” The Doctor stared at her for a moment, and Donna could’ve sworn she could see the cogs turning in his brain.

“What happened to your voice?” he asked, eyebrows furrowed.

“Oh, I just decided to switch it up,” she said sarcastically. “What do you think?”

He stared at her blankly, clearly struggling to understand what she was getting at. She rolled her eyes in annoyance. 900 year old, supposedly genius alien, and he couldn’t even pick up on illness.

“I’m sick, Dumbo,” she said with an eye roll.

“Oh…. oh….. interesting,” he said as he thought it over.

“What? None of the other dozens of humans you’ve traveled with ever got ill?”

“No, no, they did. Of course they did. Just not like this.”

“What do you mean?” she asked suspiciously. If he was about to tell her this was some weird alien disease, she was going to kick his ass all the way back to Mars.

“When the others were sick it was the sneezing and the coughing and maybe the voice would start to go after a few days, but you don’t have any of that. You’re completely fine! I mean… minus the voice, of course.”

“Ha! I wish it was that simple, mate,” she said, voice fading in and out between words. “I can barely swallow.”

"Hmm,” he hummed, thinking it over. Without warning, he walked up to Donna and placed his hands on her neck. She jumped in surprise but didn’t pull away.

“Oh….oh…wow…this is quite interesting,” he said as he pressed lightly with his fingers. “Your anterior cervical lymph nodes are huge. Seriously, gigantic. Some major lymphadenitis going on.”

“Lovely,” she said dryly. She didn’t even bother to ask him what any of that means. Suddenly, his eyes lit up with… excitement?

“The tonsils! Oh, the tonsils! Human tonsils are really so interesting, and with illness?” He whipped out the sonic screwdriver with extreme enthusiasm. “Mind if I take a look?”

She shot him a distrustful glare, and he seemed to pick up on the message.

“Relax, I’m not going to scan you. I’m just using it as a flashlight,” he explained.

“So you’re using my misery as a fun little science experiment?”

“Um…. yes?” he said innocently.

“Ugh, fine,” she groaned. “But you’re making my tea.”

“Deal. Now open up.”

She obliged, and The Doctor, as promised, only used the screwdriver as a flashlight. His eyes grew wider and a smile spread across his face.

“Oh, this is just brilliant,” he whispered. “Who knew human tonsils could get this big? I mean… I knew, of course. These are grade 3, by the way, but I’ve never seen it in person!”

“Really? In the hundreds of years you’ve been alive, you’ve never seen a single other pair of human tonsils look like this?” she asked, slightly annoyed.

“I don’t exactly go around asking people to show me their tonsils,” he shrugged. “Now open back up! I’m not done looking.” She gave him a dirty look but did as he asked.

“Absolutely fascinating,” he said in awe. “You know, I bet I could drain a ton of lymphatic fluid from these. Go in with a syringe, probably an 18 gauge nee-“

“Okay, we’re done!” Donna snapped. “I am tired of being a zoo animal. You’ve had your fun, now go make my tea.”

“But-“

“Now.”

“Yes, Earth Girl.”

📆 June 2017 📰 Determination of a Key Antigen for Immunological Intervention To Target the Latent Stage of Toxoplasma gondii 🗞 The Journal of Immunology

Toxoplasma gondii is one of the pathogens that can establish a chronic infection in the brain. Acute infection with the parasite is characterized by proliferation of tachyzoites in various organs, and it can cause various diseases, including lymphadenitis and congenital infection of fetuses (1). Although IFN-γ–mediated immune responses and, to a lesser extent, humoral immunity inhibit tachyzoite growth (2–4), the parasite establishes a chronic infection by forming tissue cysts, which can contain hundreds to thousands of bradyzoites, preferentially in the brain. This infection is ubiquitous and is one of the most common parasitic infections in humans worldwide (1).

It is well recognized that chronic T. gondii infection can reactivate and cause life-threatening toxoplasmic encephalitis in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with AIDS and organ transplants (1, 5, 6). Even in immunocompetent individuals, recent epidemiological studies demonstrated that T. gondii infection is associated with a 1.8-fold increase in the risk for brain cancers (7) and that brain cancer mortality increases with the seroprevalence of IgG Abs to T. gondii (8). Therefore, to improve public health, it is important to develop a method to eliminate T. gondii cysts from chronically infected individuals. However, there is currently no drug that can target the cyst stage of the parasite.

Although it had generally been considered that the immune system of infected hosts is unable to recognize or remove T. gondii cysts, our recent studies demonstrated that CD8+ immune T cells of chronically infected BALB/c mice (the H-2d haplotype), which are genetically resistant to the infection, possess a potent activity to initiate the immune process to remove tissue cysts from the brain when these T cells are transferred to infected immunodeficient (athymic nude or SCID) mice that have already developed large numbers of cysts (9). This anticyst activity of CD8+ immune T cells does not require IFN-γ production, which is essential for controlling tachyzoites, as mentioned earlier, but it does require perforin (9). Perforin is critical for cytotoxic activity of CD8+ T cells; therefore, it is most likely that cytotoxic activity of CD8+ T cells initiates the immune process to remove the cysts.

T. gondii cysts are formed within infected host cells (10, 11); however, the mechanisms by which CD8+ T cells recognize the cyst-containing cells are unknown. To develop a novel method to activate CD8+ T cells capable of removing T. gondii cysts, it is crucial to understand the molecular mechanisms by which the T cells recognize the cyst-containing cells. The present study revealed that H-2Ld is the major Ag-presenting molecule required for CD8+ immune T cells to initiate T cell–mediated cyst elimination. The present study also determined that CD8+ immune T cells bearing TCR Vβ8.1, 8.2+ chain have a potent activity to remove the cysts, and this T cell population recognizes the N-terminal region (aa 41–152) of dense granule protein 6 (GRA6Nt) of T. gondii presented by the H-2Ld molecule. Furthermore, CD8+ T cells activated by immunization with GRA6Nt were able to remove T. gondii cysts. These findings provide the foundation required for an immunological intervention targeting the latent stage of T. gondii to eradicate chronic infection with this parasite.

How often do goats need to be dewormed and vaccinated?

Goat farming is an ancient and rewarding practice that has gained significant popularity in recent years. Whether for meat, milk, or fiber, goats offer numerous benefits to farmers. However, to ensure a healthy and productive herd, proper healthcare practices must be in place. Among these practices, deworming and vaccination play crucial roles in maintaining goat health and preventing the spread of diseases. In this article, we will explore how often goats need to be dewormed and vaccinated to ensure their well-being and the overall success of your goat farming venture.

Why Deworming and Vaccination are Vital for Goats

Importance of Deworming in Goat Farming

Goats are known for their voracious appetites and indiscriminate grazing habits. As a result, they are highly susceptible to internal parasites, such as worms. Internal parasites can wreak havoc on a goat's health, leading to weight loss, anemia, and even death in severe cases. Regular deworming helps control these parasites, improving the overall health and productivity of your goats.

To know more about : -

Common Worms Affecting Goats

Before determining the frequency of deworming, it's essential to understand the common types of worms that affect goats. Some of the most prevalent internal parasites in goats include:

Haemonchus contortus (Barber Pole Worm): This blood-sucking worm is one of the most dangerous and deadly parasites for goats.

Trichostrongylus spp. (Small Stomach Worm): Found in the abomasum, these worms can cause weight loss and anemia.

Ostertagia spp. (Brown Stomach Worm): These worms can impair the goat's digestion, leading to poor nutrient absorption.

Coccidia spp.: These protozoa can cause diarrhea, dehydration, and significant health issues in kids (young goats).

The Significance of Vaccination in Goat Farming

Vaccination is another critical aspect of goat farming to protect against infectious diseases. Goats, like other animals, can be susceptible to various diseases that can spread rapidly within a herd. Vaccinations help stimulate the goats' immune systems to develop resistance against specific diseases, reducing the severity and spread of infections.

Common Vaccinations for Goats

The vaccination requirements for goats may vary based on their location, herd size, and individual health status. However, some common vaccines recommended for goats include:

CD&T (Clostridium Perfringens Type C & D and Tetanus Toxoid): Protects against deadly clostridial diseases and tetanus.

Caseous Lymphadenitis Vaccine: Prevents the spread of this contagious bacterial disease that causes abscesses.

Rabies Vaccine: Protects against rabies, which is a fatal disease affecting both goats and humans.

Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) Vaccine: Especially important in regions where PPR is prevalent, as it can cause severe respiratory and digestive issues.

Deworming Frequency for Goats

Deworming Schedule for Adult Goats

The deworming frequency for adult goats can depend on various factors, including the presence of parasites, pasture management, and the climate in your area. Generally, a strategic deworming approach is more effective than blindly treating all goats at the same time.

FAMACHA System

The FAMACHA system is a valuable tool used to assess the level of anemia in goats caused by the barber pole worm. By checking the color of the lower eyelid, you can determine whether an individual goat requires deworming. Only goats with a FAMACHA score of 4 or higher should be dewormed.

Deworming Schedule for Kids

Young goats, or kids, are more susceptible to internal parasites and require a different deworming schedule. Typically, kids should be dewormed at 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks of age. Afterward, they can follow the deworming schedule for adult goats.

3. Vaccination Frequency for Goats

Vaccination Schedule for Goats

The vaccination schedule for goats should be tailored to the specific diseases prevalent in your region. It is crucial to consult with a veterinarian to develop a comprehensive vaccination plan. However, here is a general guideline for some common vaccines:

CD&T Vaccine: Kids should receive the initial CD&T vaccine at 4 to 6 weeks of age, followed by a booster shot three to four weeks later. Adult goats should receive an annual booster.

Caseous Lymphadenitis Vaccine: Administer two doses of this vaccine one month apart to kids aged 3 to 6 months. Revaccination can occur annually or as recommended by your veterinarian.

Rabies Vaccine: Administer the initial vaccine to kids at 3 months of age, followed by a booster shot after one year. Subsequently, revaccination should occur every one to three years.

PPR Vaccine: In regions where PPR is prevalent, kids should receive the first dose at 4 to 6 months of age, followed by a booster shot 21 to 28 days later. Annual revaccination is recommended.

Conclusion

In goat farming, deworming and vaccination are crucial practices to maintain the health and productivity of your herd. Regular deworming helps control internal parasites, while vaccinations protect goats from infectious diseases. The deworming and vaccination frequency may vary depending on factors such as age, location, and prevalent diseases. Consulting with a veterinarian and following their recommendations will ensure the well-being and success of your goat farming venture. By implementing proper healthcare practices, you can enjoy a thriving and disease-free goat herd for years to come.
