Cholelithiasis and choledolithiasis were diagnosed with serum chemistry, abdominal radiography and ultrasonography in a 2.0 kg, 10 year-old Yorkshire Terrier dog showing signs of anorexia, vomiting, iceterus and depression. In serum chemistry, the level of alanine transferase, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate transferase, total bilitrubin and direct bilirubin were elevated. On abdominal radiographs, focal lesions with increased radiopacity were seen in the hepatic region and the size of liver was increased. In ultrasonographic examination, it were seen that distension of gall bladder, hypercehoic change of liver, obstruction of cystic duct by calcult and calculi in the gall bladder. Cholecystectomy was undertaken and there were no complications after the operation.

A spayed female, 1-year-old, Himalayan, weighing 1.89 kg, was referred. The clinical signs included anorexia, depression, vomiting, urinary incontinence and vaginal discharge for 7 days after elective ovariohysterectomy. In laboratory examination, there was moderate azotemia. Abdominal radiographic findings included heterogeneous serosal detail loss and right renomegaly. Abdominal ultrasonography showed hyperechoic ascites, bilateral polycystic kidneys, right hydronephrosis, and right hydroureter. Excretory urography demonstrated an ureterovaginal fistula. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed this diagnosis and explained that the right ureter had been included in a ligature around the cranial vagina.

A 8 years old male Pomeranian weighing 4 kg was referred because of coughing of 4 months' duration. Heart sounds and cardiac apex beat were showed more intense on the right side. On radiographic views, loss of normal line of the diaphragm, gas-containing intestines and stomach in thoracic cavity, and right displacement of heart were observed. Ultrasonography revealed that liver located adjacent to the heart. Although the dog died due to severe respiratory disorder in surgical procedure, in thoracic and abdominal surgery, a large defect was found in the left and right ventral muscular portion and left central tendon of the diaphragm, extending from the esophageal hiatus to rib. Left and right cranial lobe of liver, small intestines, stomach and spleen were herniated in the thoracic cavity. Because of the size and chronicity of the defect in the diaphragm, closure was impossible with an abdominal muscle graft.

One day to one week-old 3 female Korean native calves were referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Chonbuk National University, with atresia ani. The authors performed radiographic and ultrasonographic diagnosis with physical examination, general hematology and blood chemical examination as investigation. The atresia ani were type I, II, III in each 3 calves. In abdominal radiography and ultrasonography, there were ventral displacement of descending colon(gas and feces filled) and typical enlargement of the blind end of colon in all cases. Operation site was determined by radiographic and ultrasonographic findings in these cases. Surgical treatment, two cases were translocation of the colon to the body wall exiting as a colostomy and one case was corrected by making a circumcision through the skin covering the site of the anus.

Hepatic encephalophthy was diagnosed with serum chemistry, abdominal radiography and ultrasonography in a 2.6kg, 4 year-old maltese dog showing signs of hypersalivation, involutary spasm of facial muscles, ataxia, behavior abnormalities like dullness, sleep disorder, restlessness. In serum chemistry, the level of alanine transferase and aspartate trasferase was mildly elevated, ammonia was severely increased. On abdominal radio-graphs, the size of liver was mildly decreased. In ultrasonographic examination, diffuse lesion with hyperechoic change and decreased vasculature were seen in the hepatic region. But vascular abnormalities of liver were not observed. Drug and dietary therapy were undertaken and severities of clinical sign were alleviated.

A 15-year-old spayed female Yorkshire Terrier was presented to our hospital with a history of anorexia, depression and abdominal pain. Diagnostic procedures including blood test, radiography and ultrasonography were performed. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed multiple hypoechoic cysts in the left lobe of the liver. Over time, the cysts increased in size and became more echogenic. Four days later, the rupture of the largest cyst was suspected, and hepatic abscesses with bacteria were confirmed by aspiration of the cyst. Despite surgical resection of the abscessed liver lobe, antibiotic administration, and supportive therapy, the dog died 9 days after presentation to the hospital and 4 days after the surgical procedure. The present case report described the overall diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for liver abscesses in a dog.

목 적: 소아의 급성 열성 질환은 그 원인이 위장관 계통이 아니더라도 흔히 구토, 설사, 복통 등의 복부증상을 동반하나 발열의 원인이 불명이면서 복부 증상이 동반될 때는 발열의 원인이 복부장기 이상소견으로 인한 것인지, 복부장기의 이상소견으로 그 원인을 유추할 수 있는지 당연히 관심을 가지게 된다. 저자들은 발열과 복부 증상을 주소로 하는 환아에서 복부 초음파 검사를 실시하여 그의 진단적 의의에 대해 알아보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법: 1994년 1월부터 1995년 6월까지 발열과 복부증상을 주소로 울산 동강병원 소아과에 입원, 치료한 환아 중 진단적 목적의 일부분으로 복부 초음파검사를 시행한 60례를 대상으로 그 검사의 진단적 가치에 대해서 후향적으로 조사하였다. 결 과: 1) 검사 환아중 56례 (93.3%)에서 복부 초음파의 이상 소견을 보였다. 2) 복부 초음파검사의 이상 소견으로 장간막 임파선 종대를 동반하는 경우가 52례 (86.7%)로서 가장 많았고, 소량의 복수만 있었던 경우가 1례 (1.7%), 방광벽 비후가 2례 (3.5%), 미세한 대장벽 비후만 있었던 경우가 1례 (1.7%) 있었다. 3) 소량의 복수 동반 여부와 관계없이 장간막 임파선 종대만 있었던 예는 30례 (50.0%)로서 다양한 진단명으로 볼때 특별한 진단적 가치가 없었다. 4) 소량의 복수 동반 여부와 관계없이 장간막 임파선 종대와 회맹장벽 비후가 있었던 경우가 8례 (13.3%)로서 역시 특별한 진단적 가치가 없었다. 5) 회맹장벽의 비후와 관계없이 장간막 임파선 종대와 비장비후가 있었던 7례 (11.7%)에선 4례 (6.7%)에서 장티푸스로 진단되었다. 6) 장티푸스로 진단된 6례 (10.0%)의 복부 초음파소견은 장간막 임파선 종대가 6례 (100.0%) 모두에서, 비종대가 4례 (66.7%)에서 회맹장벽비후가 1례에서 (16.7%) 보였고, 장간막임파선종대와 비장비대를 같이 보인 경우가 4례 (66.7%), 장간막임파선종대, 간비장비대, 회맹장벽비후를 같이 보인 경우가 1례 (16.7%) 있었다. 7) 장간막 임파선종대와 충수돌기 부위의 이상이 같이 있었던 7례 (11.7%) 모두에서 급성 충수돌기염이나 그의 합병증으로 진단되었다. 8) 방광벽 비후가 있었던 2례 (3.3%)에서 급성 방광염과 급성 출혈성방광염으로 진단되었다. 9) 미세한 대장벽의 비후가 있었던 1례 (1.7%)에서는 이질로 진단되었다. 결 론: 발열과 복부증상을 주소로 하는 환아에서 복부 초음파검사상 회맹장벽의 비후, 장간막 임파선 종대, 비장비후 등의 소견이 있을때에는 장티푸스의 가능성을 고려해야겠으며 소아에서 복부이학적검사를 쉽게 할 수 없는 경우나 그 진단이 분명치 못한 경우 복부 초음파검사를 시행하여 장간막 임파선 종대와 충수돌기 주변 부위의 이상 소견으로 수술이 필요한 급성 충수돌기염이나 그의 합병증의 진단을 신속히 할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to observe the change in the thickness of abdominal muscles when electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is applied to the abdomen during rest and abdominal muscle exercise to investigate the effect of EMS applied to the abdomen on the superficial and deep muscles thickness. Design: Cross sectional design. Methods: Twenty healthy subjects participated in this study. Subjects were performed resting position, resting position with EMS, curl-up and curl-up with EMS. The electrode of the EMS belt is attached to the abdominal wall between the 12th rib and iliac crest. The thickness of abdominal muscles including rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), and transverse abdominis (TrA) were captured in each position by ultrasound image during expiration. All subjects were performed four positions randomly. Data were analyzed using repeated ANOVA with the level of significance set at 𝛼=0.05. Results: The muscle thickness of RA, EO, IO and TrA were significantly different at each position (p<0.05). The thickness of all abdominal muscles increased significantly when curl-up than curl-up with EMS. Both RA and EO thickness were significantly increased at resting position than resting position and EMS were combined(p<0.05). But IO and TrA thickness were decreased at resting position when EMS were combined. Conclusions: The results suggest that EMS activates superficial abdominal muscles RA and EO. Therefore, abdominal strengthening exercise combined EMS can activate abdominal muscles and can be applied to various patients and rehabilitation in clinical practice.

A 7-year-old Scottish Straight cat presented with hypersalivation and generalized hyperesthesia. The cat was provided tuna-based food for 2 to 3 weeks before clinical symptoms appeared. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a heterogeneous, hyperechoic mesentery with hypoechoic foci. Pansteatitis was tentatively diagnosed and the cat was treated with vitamin E, anti-inflammatory drugs, and dietary changes. The clinical signs and changes in mesenteric fat on serial ultrasonography resolved. After feeding tuna-based food again, the same clinical signs and mesenteric changes on ultrasound recurred, which recovered through the same treatment. This study suggests that ultrasonography can be useful for diagnosis and monitoring of feline pansteatitis.
