Necrotic center surrounded by epithelioid and giant cells with eosinophils, lymphocytes, and plasma cells on the periphery.

acute relapsing myositis

Eosinophilic Myositis in Dogs: what breed is it most common in?

German Sheppard

Eosinophilic Myositis in Dogs: which muscles does it usually affect? (3)

muscles of mastication (temporal, zygomatic, masseters)

Eosinophilic Myositis in Dogs: 4 CS

Difficulty eating. Mouth held partially open. Mandibular immobility and sometimes swelling. Muscles become progressively atrophied after each attack.

Eosinophilic Myositis in Dogs: 5 gross findings

Swollen and edematous, initially. Dark red. Doughy or hard. Yellow/pale streaks or foci. Atrophy and fibrosis in chronic cases.

Eosinophilic Myositis in Dogs: acute microscopic findings (2)

Large number of eosinophils and few mononuclear cells, especially plasma cells.

Eosinophilic Myositis in Dogs: chronic microscopic findings (3)

Mostly plasma cells and fewer eosinophils. Prominent muscle atrophy and fibroplasia.

CANINE MUSCLE: Give the name and predisposed breed for this disease.

Eosinophilic myositis. German Sheppard.

Muscle dystrophy: give two conditions that cause it

White muscle disease. Equine rhabdomyolysis.

White muscle disease: two species it is most common in

calves and lambs

White muscle disease: etiology

Dams fed a diet deficient in Vitamin E and selenium

White muscle disease: 7 other species it is found in

Rabbits, swine, chickens, deer, foals, goats, dogs

White muscle disease: 5 gross findings

Distinct longitudinal striations or pronounced, chalky, white discoloration. Pale. Inelastic. Friable and Dry. Subendocardial plaques.

White muscle disease: in which ventricle of lambs are subendocardial plaques most severe?

right

White muscle disease: in which ventricle of calves are subendocardial plaques most severe?

left

BOVINE HEART: Observe the pale necrotic foci in the heart of this calf. Remember, in calves there is a tendency for lesions to occur most frequently in the ___ ventricle, whereas the ___ ventricle is chiefly involved in lambs. Give the morphological diagnosis.

Left. Right. Severe locally extensive necrotizing myocarditis.

DEER MUSCLE (MICROSCOPIC): Give the etiology and name of the condition.

Diet deficient in Vitamin E and selenium. White muscle disease.

EQUINE MUSCLE: Observe the pale yellowish thigh muscles. Name the condition and give a brief pathogenesis.

White muscle disease. Vitamin E and selenium prevent the peroxidation of cell membranes.

White muscle disease: pathophysiology

vitamin E and selenium protect cellular membranes from free radicals

White muscle disease: what do heart lesions cause?

sudden death

White muscle disease: what do skeletal muscle lesions cause? (3)

stiffness, recumbency, and death

White muscle disease: microscopic findings. (2) What is number 1? Number 2?

Segmental necrosis and regeneration. Necoritc muscle fiber. Macrophages removing dead muscle fibers.

Equine Rhabdomyolysis: alternate name

Azoturia

Equine Rhabdomyolysis: less severe form

"Tying up"

Equine Rhabdomyolysis: more severe form

Paralytic myoglobinuria or "Monday morning disease"

Equine Rhabdomyolysis: when does it occur?

when exercised after a period of rest, when feed has not been restricted.

Equine Rhabdomyolysis: possible predisposition (2)

Vitamin E and selenium deficiency

Equine Rhabdomyolysis: 5 CS

Profuse sweating. Elevated heart rate. Stiffness. Muscles swollen and "board-like". Myoglobinuria.

Equine Rhabdomyolysis: 3 gross findings

Initially, muscles are salmon pink. After a few days: dark, moist, swollen, well-defined yellowish-gray streaks. In tying-up, the muscles are normal grossly.

Equine Rhabdomyolysis: 2 microscopic lesions

Hyaline degeneration and necrosis

2 parasitic diseases the affect muscle

Sarcocystis: etiology

Sarcocystis fusiformis

Sarcocystis: 3 affected hosts

Mammals, birds, and reptiles

Sarcocystis: brief description

Sarcocystis invade muscle fibers

Sarcocystis: usually affect what 4 organs?

tongue, heart, esophagus, and diaphragm

Sarcocystis: CS

none

Sarcocystis: T or F. There are still inflammatory cells 5 weeks post infection.

F; there are no inflammatory cells

Sarcocystis: 2 gross findings

In most species, not observable grossly. Sheep, cattle, and ducks - may observe cysts as "white dots" or "streaks".

Sarcocystis: histologic findings

Groups of organisms that form elongated spindle-shaped structures surrounded by a thick cyst.
