Q
  1. How should arterial blood gases be stored before analysis? Why?
A
  1. They should be stored on ice. If not held on ice, pO2 values will decrease.

Q
  1. The study established that New World monkeys are more sensitive to opioids than Old World monkeys? Y/N
A

No

26
Q

What is the cause of UD?

A

Multifactorial, but may include diets high in vitamin A or fat, stress, mites, deficiency in nitric oxide synthase.

27
Q

What is the mechanism of action of maropitant citrate?

A

NK1 receptor antagonist

28
Q

T or F? Treating for 10 days is more effective that 5 days.

A

F - They were equally effective

29
Q

A

NSAID

30
Q

What class of drug is buprenorphine?

A

Opioid

A

Heart rate

34
Q
  1. Cardiac Time Intervals are a means of assessing what function?
A

Left Ventricular Function

35
Q

A

F - It is extensive and diffuse

44
Q

T/F. If sections of tissue are seen with a breached border of positive staining p63 myoepithelial cells then the tumor is likely to be malignant in nature.

A

True

45
Q

T/F. P63 may be a useful prognostic indicator in mammary carcinoma cases in nhps.

A

True

46
Q
  1. What other diagnostic modalities for screening and diagnosing tuberculosis are available?
A
  1. PrimaGam testing (an in vitro assay for interferon gamma response to tuberculin antigens – sensitivity is lower than intradermal tuberculin skin test), thoracic radiographs, gastric lavage with culture, and bronchial alveolar lavage with culture.

Q
  1. What organ is affected in Pott’s disease?
A

Spine

48
Q
  1. What test is used to detect anergy?
A

Cell-mediated immunity testing using intradermal injections of antigens such as tetanus toxoid, diphtheria toxoid, and Streptococcus spp. A negative result would indicate a defect in the host’s cell mediated immunity.

49
