RESUMEN
Results from a 1999 economic survey of laboratory animal veterinarians were used to develop a multivariable linear regression model capable of predicting income in light of a large set of characteristics of veterinarians and their employers. When considered simultaneously, the variables of experience, supervisory responsibility, ACLAM board certification, geographic region, type of employer, size of animal facility, and job title provided the best model fit, in agreement with an earlier statistical model of income for persons in this profession. Aspects of the demographics of faculty appointments and secondary sources of professional income available to some laboratory animal veterinarians also were evaluated.

During acute cardiopulmonary studies, 33 of 170 (19.4%) dogs developed uncontrollable acidosis accompanied by varying degrees of diarrhea and hypotension. Affected dogs had evidence of gram-negative bacteremia and septic shock. Intravenously administered fluids were contaminated with gram-negative bacteria. Since the experimental procedure entailed nonsurvival surgery, aseptic techniques were not employed. Although aseptic surgical techniques are to be used in animals undergoing survival surgery, such techniques also may be warranted in non-survival surgeries.

A retrospective study of amyloidosis in pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) at the Washington Regional Primate Research Center (WRPRC) was conducted. Between 1971 and 1985, 248 of 1,952 (13%) necropsies revealed amyloidosis in pigtailed macaques. The influence of demographic factors, diseases and experimental interventions on amyloidosis was examined. Univariate analyses, using two controls for each case, indicated that age, sex, birthplace and residence were related to amyloidosis. After adjusting for age, females were not at greater risk. However, monkeys born at the WRPRC were at greater risk and monkeys 0 to 5 years old residing at the breeding colony were at greater risk than monkeys at the research center. After adjustment for age, monkeys were at greater risk of developing amyloidosis if they had a history of episodes of diarrhea, respiratory disease or trauma. As the number of episodes increased, the risk increased. Monkeys with retroperitoneal fibromatosis, a manifestation of simian D retrovirus infection, were also at greater risk. Using logistic regression and controlling for age, sex, birthplace and residence, monkeys with diarrhea remained at an elevated risk for amyloidosis. Compared with a model combining diarrhea, respiratory disease, septicemia, surgery, trauma and retroperitoneal fibromatosis, a model with diarrhea alone accounted for most of the increased risk.

The pathologic aspects of 248 cases of amyloidosis in pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) at the Washington Regional Primate Research Center from 1971 through 1985 were studied. Amyloid was present in the spleen, liver and gastrointestinal (GI) tract, either alone or in combination, in nearly 75% of the monkeys. Its occurrence declined with age in the spleen and the GI tract, but increased with age in the liver. Both intestinal inflammation and retroperitoneal fibromatosis were strongly associated with amyloid deposition in the GI tract. Monkeys with histopathologic findings of enteritis or enterocolitis and glomerulonephritis were at increased risk of developing amyloidosis. Forty cases of amyloidosis with a history of chronic diarrhea had type AA amyloid by histochemical tests.
