Felt to be either Afipia felis, a gram-negative rod or Rochalimaea henselae and Rochalimaea quintana. Both are members of class Proteobacteria and both are intracellular parasitic bacteria. RESERVOIR AND INCIDENCE: Associated with domestic cats throughout the USA, and worldwide. Over 6000 cases annually. Seen more often in men than in women . Have seen clusters of infection within families within a 2 to 3 week period, suggesting that shedding by cats may occur periodically. Other sources of infection have included scratches from other species including dogs, squirrels, and goats and from wounds induced by crab claws, barbed wire, and plant material. TRANSMISSION: 90% of patients have been exposed to a cat. 75% of these have been bitten, scratched, or licked. Most affected individuals are

Extractions: Table 2 Physiologic Data for Feline REFERENCES The cat, like the dog, was one of the first domestic animals that scientists observed. Early studies involved the falling reflex and integration of the mechanisms of balance. Researchers commonly used the cat in psychological, socialization, and learning studies. The occurrence of blood cancers and solid tumors such as lymphomas, leukemia, and adenocarcinoma and endocrine tumors comparable to those of humans makes the cat valuable to cancer research. Cats are useful models for studies of the brain, genetics, head-eye-ears, pharmacology, nutrition, virology, and surgical techniques development. Cats and humans have several similar infectious diseases: hemolytic anemia of the cat is similar to Oroya fever of man; toxoplasmosis occurs among both species; chlamydia, cholera, sporotrichosis, and filariasis infect both cats and humans. Cats are, therefore, noteworthy models for the development of effective treatments and preventative measures of infectious diseases. Selective models in which cats are currently used are given in Sections VII through XV.

Extractions: Role of periventricular leukomalacia in the development of infantile cerebral paralysis Brain injury in premature infants neonates is an extremely important pediatric and neurological problem. The importance of the problem is determined by the high incidence of brain lesions and their poor prognosis. Periventricular leukomalacia is one of the most significant lesions as it is just the leukomalacia that causes the development of infantile cerebral paralysis in premature children. This paper is a review that deals with current aspects of the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and prediction of periventricular leukomalacia.
