Bioenergetic consequences of alopecia induced by Dermacentor albipictus (Acari: Ixodidae) on moose.

Fasting metabolic rates, respiration rates, respiratory minute volumes, and fasted weights were measured on three yearling moose (Alces alces (L.)) (Artiodactyla: Cervidae) infested with 50,000 winter ticks. Dermacentor albipictus (Packard) (Acari: Ixodidae), and on two uninfested controls. Infestations produced no detectable effects on fasting metabolic rates or weight changes. The influence of tick-induced alopecia on lower critical temperatures could not be assessed because of warm temperatures during the winter and spring trials. Destruction of winter hair accompanied a reduction in respiratory minute volumes and respiration rates of heat-stressed moose.

Fifteen patients with advanced transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelial tract were treated with methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin and cisplatin (M-VAC) chemotherapy. Eleven patients were treated to metastatic lesions after surgical resection of primary cancers. One out of 15 patients died of chemotherapy. Of the remaining 14 patients, CR was achieved in one and PR was achieved in seven, clinically. The response rate was 57.1% and the median response duration was 12.6 months. In the patients who had been resected their primary lesions, the response rate was 70% and the duration was 14.1 months. Six patients, including five PRs and one NC, underwent surgical resection and re-staging of the residual tumors after chemotherapy. Clinical response coincided with pathological one in all 6 cases. Three patients were observed the decrease of the lung metastasis, which rate was more than 90%. Two out of 3 who did not show any invasion into the lymph channels in the resected residual tumors, have been free of a recurrence through-out the course of at 47 or at 42 months. However, another patient with lymph channel invasion died of metastasis of the mediastinal and paraaortic lymph nodes. Regarding the frequency of side effects, it seemed to be no significant difference between full and 80% doses administration. In the effectual cases, the residual tumors should be resected surgically and re-staged pathologically.

Tissue expansion in the correction of burn alopecia: classification and methods of correction.

Correction of burn alopecia using tissue expansion has recently gained acceptance. Yet, the technical approach to correction of this problem remains one of trial and error. Between January 1985 and December 1988, 102 children underwent placement of tissue expanders for correction of burn alopecia. Two hundred twenty-two expanders were placed during the 178 operative settings. Mean age was 9.1 +/- 4.3 years (range, 3-17 years). Forty-two patients previously underwent partial excisions or rotation of flaps to reduce or camouflage the initial burn alopecia. A review of our experience has dictated that proper classification of burn alopecia can influence operative planning and is essential for establishing guidelines for the correction of this problem. We have developed a classification scheme that addresses this problem. Patients are classified as type I, uniform alopecia; type II, segmental alopecia; type III, patchy alopecia; and type IV, total alopecia. The role of tissue expansion is reviewed in each group.
