“…The level of some CSF electrolytes concentration is determined in view of their importance for diagnosis of salt poisoning and for assessment of fluid therapy (Welles et al, 1992) .Sodium and calcium are particularly important in the establishment of the thermal set point in the hypothalamus (Myers and Veale, 1970). K and Na concentration in CSF are lower than their corresponding values in serum which is in line with other reports (Welles, et al, 1992;Duncan, et al, 1994;Jean, et al, 1997;Ahmed ,et al, 2009).However, the CSF concentration of K, Na, and Ca in this study is comparable to the value reported in adult cattle (, Fankhauser, 1962;Welles et al , 1992), buffaloes (Khadjeh et al, 2005) but higher than those reported for horse, sheep and goat (Kaneko, 1989). The CSF magnesium concentration in this study is higher than that in serum and this agrees with the finding of Khadjeh et al (2005).…”

This study was undertaken to determine the values of some physiochemical parameters of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of healthy Sudanese steers and compare them with their corresponding serum values. The experimental animals were thirty clinically normal steers presented to the Slaughter House of The Animal Production Research Centre at Kuku. Cerebrospinal fluid samples were taken from the cisterna magna and blood was withdrawn from the jugular vein. Some electrolytes, metabolites and enzymes activities were determined in cerebrospinal fluid and serum. The mean values for CSF constituents were as follows; total protein(TP) (6.450.03mg/100ml), albumin (2.570.02mg/100ml), urea (17 . 9 70.25mg/100ml), Creatinine (1.170.021mg/100ml), glucose(47.670.26 mg/100ml), Na(104.871.57mmol/L), K(3.090.03mmol/L), Ca(5.480.03mmolL), and Mg (1.490.03mg/100ml)

“…Microprotein concentration and differential cell count values were comparable to published data (Fankhauser 1962;Bailey and Vernau 1997). Fankhauser reported a total cell count of 0-7 cells/ml.…”

“…The preferred technique in large animals ( 80 kg) is Plus-minus vales are the mean ± SD lumbosacral puncture (Fankhauser 1962;Ebeid et al 1997). However, with practice on dead swine we managed to achieve confidence and accuracy with the atlanto-occipital approach, so that CSF could be relatively easily collected from the cerebellomedullary space in all animals.…”

“…Several factors argue for the use of the atlanto-occipital approach, nonetheless: CSF collection is more likely to be abnormal or representative of the central nervous system (CNS) diseases when performed caudal to the lesion; general anaesthesia is indispensable for this procedure in swine, except in moribund animals (Fankhauser 1962); occipital bone conformation in swine allows access to the atlanto-occipital space without flexing the neck or intubating the patient (Plate XV, Fig. 1) (Barone 1980).…”

“…Few studies have reported on CSF collection and analysis in swine (Fankhauser 1962;Ebeid et al 1997;Bailey and Vernau 1997). CSF collection from the lumbosacral space was shown to be easily accomplished and to avert the potential complication of needle penetration of the brain stem encountered with the atlanto-occipital approach (Ebeid et al 1997).…”

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis has an important role in the diagnosis of neurologic diseases. A technique for collecting CSF from the atlanto-occipital space in 20 pigs (body mass 150-160 kg) is described and the CSF values are reported. CSF was relatively easily collected from the cerebellomedullary space in all animals. The protein concentration and total cell count of CFS samples ranged from 20 to 32 mg/dl and from 2 to 15 cells/μl, respectively. Mononuclear cells were the predominant cellular type; a variable proportion of two different cell populations (monocytoid cells and lymphocytes) was observed.

Macro- and trace element concentrations in blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of dairy cows exposed to electric and magnetic fields

Eight multiparous, nonlactating pregnant Holstein cows (at 198 ± 35 days of gestation and weighing 608 + 24 kg) and seven nonlactating nonpregnant ovariectomized heifers (weighing 370 + 29 kg) were confined to wooden metabolism crates in an electric and magnetic field chamber. Subarachnoidal catheters were inserted before the activation of the electric and magnetic fields. For 30 days, cows and heifers were continuously exposed in separate trials to electric and magnetic fields (60 Hz, 10 kV/m, and 30 μT). Blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected for 3 consecutive days before the exposure period, the last 3 days of the exposure period, and for 3 days starting 5 days after the exposure period. Concentrations of Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Na, P, and K in blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid were determined. Exposure to electric and magnetic fields resulted in decreased concentrations of Mg in blood plasma and in increased concentrations of Ca and P and decreased concentrations of Fe and Mn in cerebrospinal fluid.
