DARKE COUNTY - Easter traditions vary from family to family…from country to country…from religion to religion.
The Daily Advocate decided to ask locals through social media what were their favorite memories of this sacred holiday.
Kelly Shane-Van De Grift remarked, "Oh I remember having Easter Sunday at Grandma and Grandpa VanDeGrift's. A sit-down dinner with the whole family and then, of course, the egg hunt even if it was snowing! This was after the Sunrise service at Rossburg Church and the wonderful breakfast after. Wonderful memories!."
"Hard-boiled Easter egg fight after dinner," commented Ron Turner of Versailles.
Rhonda Gigandet stated, "Remember going to Grandpa and Grandma Gasper's house and eating a big lunch and going outside with all my cousins and brothers and trying to see who could get the most eggs. Those were the good old days….. sure do miss them."
"Now that Grandma and Grandpa Rose along with my mom and dad are gone, I still have Easter for my family and still have an Easter Egg hunt," said Carla Cothran. "Over 300 eggs for 11 nieces and nephews. Then the adults always have something to do as well. I have been told by all the adults that I have kept the family tradition going. That makes me happy."
Carolyn Hartzell-Waymire wrote, "I always had a new frilly dress with can- cans from the 'Cotton Shoppe.' I got a new pair of patent leather shoes from Martin's Department Store. On Easter Sunday, I usually got a stuffed bunny and a chocolate bunny. For breakfast, we had hard-boiled eggs. We went to Mass and had a great lunch after. Then we went to the football field in Versailles with our new clothes on and found 'REAL' colored eggs. Some had 5 cents marked on them. Dad always said. 'Don't stand in line; I will give you the money.' We were always reminded of the true meaning of Easter - Christ dying for us and rising in Glory on Easter morning."
"As a child, of course, there was an Easter egg hunt," recalled Robin Zupp Hesson. "Easter Sunday started with Sunrise service, Sunday school and church. We ALWAYS had a reservation someplace to eat out. There was four years that I didn't make it to church as I had the measles….yes four years in a row. I'd break out usually on Good Friday or Saturday. Dad would stay home with me as my mother wasn't about to let her Easter ensemble go to waste. Now, we spend the day at my aunt's house with family and all the little ones with an Easter egg hunt and a light luncheon fare. We are making new memories."
"I remember one year ?? when I was little we hunted Easter eggs in the snow," said George Fanning. "Lots of fun."
Michelle Jones said, "Hunting plastic eggs at Grandma and Grandpa's after lunch; then after all were found re-hiding them til supper."
"Nothing big…just a nice Easter dinner and egg hunt for the kids," said Susie Baumgardner Francis.
"I hate to admit this, but at 30 years old my daughter still likes to hunt eggs (the prizes are better)," said one person anonymously.
Sherry Waymire remarked, "I remember dying eggs every year as a child. We'd use a white Crayon to write our names or a short message on them them take turns with my brother sinking them in the different dyes. The smell of vinegar and the sound of those little fizzing tablets and the mess we'd make….good stuff."
Kari Bartram commented, "One of my favorite memories of an Easter morning (that I wasn't even involved in!) is when my sister Jodi Reichert, her husband and their three kids bought hundreds of plastic eggs and dumped them ALL over my mom and dad's yard at night. Then they wrote on a poster board: 'You've been egged by the Easter Bunny!' It was a cute prank!"
Terri Martin, who said she made Easter baskets for her husband and son every year, recalled: "One year when the kids were little, the weather was nasty, so we hid eggs in the house and, I swear, there were about four of them we never found! To this day, I don't know what happened to them."
She added, "We kids hated black licorice so our dad got the black jelly beans. Mom got each one of us big filled fruit and nut eggs with our names on them. We usually didn't eat those, either because they were too pretty so she enjoyed those. We had lots of deviled eggs for dinner."
Jayna Johnson submitted her memory, "The wild and raucous egg hunt at Uncle Tom's cabin at Wayne Lakes. Five grandchildren shut in the small bathroom while the eggs were hidden. When the door opened, it was like horses being sprung from behind the gate at the Great Darke County Fair. Let's just say the hunts were competitive and lasted into early adulthood. The neighbors have since admitted peeking out their windows to watch."
"I hid eggs one night for my kids in the house because it was too cold to hide them outside," said Debbie Kunk. "When we got up, there were no eggs but we did have a very large dog with real bad gas. Oops!"
Myron D. Caupp said, "I remember hiding Easter eggs for the kids way back. We had a real problem later in the summer when the dog found some that the kids didn't find. They were really ripe. Also, I remember Easter at Grandpa and Grandma Shook's when I was just a kid. Some great memories."
"My Grandpa passed away when my kids we small," reminisced Cathy Wolfe. "He loved boiled eggs so it became a tradition that every year we take hard-boiled colored Easter eggs to the Cemetery and place on his grave."
Linda Burnfield said, "I remember getting all dressed up in our new Easter clothes that Mom had bought us and we would go to church and we was to act like ladies and gentlemen (yeah, right) and we would come home and Mom would always make a wonderful dinner but, of course, we always had to change our clothes so we wouldn't get them dirty. Mom was the best cook. I miss her so much."

Completely understandable, I guess........
So than what do you do if you have no idea?
How can you be penalized for not knowing the weight of your disc?
I assume there is no warning penalty, just your screwed here's your 2 strokes?
Im not trying to argue about any of this, it just seems kinda unfair. If it is originally the problem of Innova than all discs produced in that batch should become Illegal. That way it is fair for everyone.
If you dont mind bring your scales with you Saturday.........
Youve got me curious now!!!!

During the Freshman and Sophomore years, the centerpiece of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholars Program is the Scholars Seminar (SAHS-UE 2 003 & 004), which organizes scholar activities, including travel colloquia around an annual theme chosen by the scholars. Discussion, debate, outside speakers, social activities, a play that they construct, and a group community service project allow scholars to explore the year's theme creatively, bringing in issues of leadership development, current events, multiculturalism, social justice, and community. This year's theme is framed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s quote, "An individual has not started living until [they] can rise above the narrow confines of [their] individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity".
Freshman and Sophomore Scholars are expected to maintain a minimum 3.5 GPA and complete 15 hours of community service a semester.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholars are not required to enroll in Scholars Seminar during Junior and Senior years. They are, however, expected to continue community service and meet the minimum 3.5 GPA.
Scholars in their Junior Year will often spend time completing degree requirements at one of NYU's global sites. The MLK Scholars Program offers support to help defray the cost of study away. Scholars, whose degree program restricts study away during their junior, may receive study away support prior to their junior year.
During the Senior Year, Scholars typically complete internships/fieldwork connected with degree requirements, and may participate in departmental honors and/or honors research.
All MLK Scholars may be invited to participate in University Leadership activities.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholars are expected to maintain a 3.5 GPA or better, and to participate actively in program activities as outlined.

Manager's Corner: The Five People You Meet At
Manager's Corner
The Five People You Meet At
I just finished Mitch Albom's 'the five people you meet in heaven.' It's an interesting quick read. And it left me, as I'm sure it does all readers, wondering who I'd meet if I were to have a similar post-life experience.
Just as Mr. Albom's main character meets individuals whose lives he impacted, we all impact others' lives each day in our work-worlds. However most often, we don't realize the impact we have on others. We're just 'doing our jobs.'
If you were to have a post-life experience like Mr. Albom's character, would you meet five people whose lives you've impacted like the following?
Person #1- Karen. She was one of your employees. She was a single mom who was trying to make ends meet while creating a future for her kids and herself. By enrolling her in a 'Future Managers' program, you took a risk on her when no one else had in years. You helped her regain her confidence, increased her skills, and helped her provide for her family. She wants to say Thank You.
Person #2- Randy. He was one of your suppliers. Randy had a very small firm when he approached you to provide his services to your company. You agreed to give his firm a chance. Over several years, you treated one another with respect, honesty, and professionalism. You gave him business leads. You helped him grow his business as he supported yours. He wants to say Thank You.
Person #3- Terry. She was one of your customers. She had called your organization to place an order on a day when everything was going wrong for her. You happened to answer the phone when she called. You not only took her order, but asked what else your company could do to make her day a bit better. You personally called her one week later to make sure she was happy with her order. You made her feel appreciated. She wants to say Thank You.
Person #4- Trish. She was one of your competitors. Even though her firm seemed to be nipping at your heels regularly, you always treated her, her representatives, and her firm professionally. In fact, from Trish's perspective, your firm set the standard in the area. Because of that, she tried to model her firm after yours. Your leadership style forced her to become a better leader for her own company. She wants to say Thank You.
Person #5- Sal. He was your boss when you were 27. Sal remembers you as the one employee who really seemed to take an interest in his company. You wanted to learn; getting the paycheck seemed like a bonus to you. Your energy and interest in learning from him, helping him, and sharing ideas with him, created energy for Sal and the rest of his staff. New opportunities for his organization followed. He wants to say Thank You.
Given how you currently 'do your job', whose lives are you impacting--and how? Do others want to say 'Thank You' to you? If not, why not?

Aris Venetikidis:
Making sense of maps
Map designer Aris Venetikidis is fascinated by the maps we draw in our minds as we move around a city — less like street maps, more like schematics or wiring diagrams, abstract images of relationships between places. How can we learn from these mental maps to make better real ones? As a test case, he remakes the notorious Dublin bus map. (Filmed at TEDxDublin)

The website based tournament wins on how active Gonzaga University students and alumni are on LinkedIn.com. Website employees calculated wins based on how many Gonzaga fans were using the word basketball in their profiles.
The total was divided by the total number of Gonzaga students and alumni on their website.
Gonzaga scored higher than any other school with a team playing in the NCAA tournament.

We have just released Groovy-Eclipse 2.0.2. This release includes a number of exciting new features, Groovy 1.7.3, and fixes for over 80 jira issues. For this release, we have two streams available: an Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) stream and an Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) stream. To install 2.0.2, you can add one of the following release URLs to your Eclipse update manager:
The theme of this release is Refactoring, Refactoring, Formatting.
Refactoring support
For this release, we have done some work on refactoring. In the past, there was a separate Groovy Refactoring menu, which was the only place Groovy refactorings could be invoked from. Now, we have integrated the refactorings into the JDT refactoring support. Now, Groovy refactorings can be invoked using the same keyboard commands and menu items as their Java counterparts.
Extract Local Variable Refactoring
The extract local variable refactoring allows programmers to select an expression and convert it into a local variable:
- Initial code:
- This refactoring also supports replacing all occurrences of the expression:
- Preview:
- See the results:
The keyboard binding for this refactoring is the same as it is for the Java variant of the refactoring (e.g., CMD-Alt-L on Macs).
Extract Constant Refactoring
Extract constant expression allows a programmer to select a static expression, and pull it out as a constant in the current class. This refactoring is also available from the refactoring context menu.
- To invoke this refactoring, select a static expression and select the Extract Constant... refactoring:
- In the refactoring wizard, you can choose to replace all occurrences with the constant, and you can also choose to qualify references to the constant with the class name. Also notice that the refactoring provides a reasonable suggestion for an initial name:
- As with extract local, you can see the preview:
- And the result is what you would expect with all text properly replaced:
There are two caveats to be aware of:
- Extract constant inside of scripts is disallowed
- All sub-expressions of the expression to extract must be static
Extract Method Refactoring
Extract method refactoring was available in version 2.0.0 and earlier, but was removed for 2.0.1 because it depended on deprecated internal APIs that had been removed.
- For 2.0.2, we have reimplemented extract the method refactoring and linked it to the standard Java method refactoring in the editor:
- This refactoring supports reordering and renaming of the parameters of the extracted method:
- As expected, the result properly extract the selected statements into a new method, taking into account new parameters and the return statement:
The limitations to this refactoring are the following:
- Only complete statements or groups of complete statements can be refactored.
- Multiple return values are not supported.
Rename Refactoring
Although originally introduced in the 2.0.1 version, rename refactoring is now available from the context menu:
And the menu bar:
or keyboard commands (e.g., Alt-CMD-R on Macos).
Groovy Editor
Code Formatting and Indentation
In this release, we focused on fixing issues that directly affect a user's day-to-day experience, such as typing, copying and pasting. We have integrated a number of "smart" editing transformations into the Groovy Editor. In the past, we inherited some of the Java-like editing transformations, which would sometimes fail due to incompatibilities between the Groovy and Java grammars.
In this release we are providing a new groovy-specific implementations for three smart editor features:
- Smart paste: attempt to preserve relative indentation of code pasted into a Groovy editor.
- Smart newline: try to put the cursor in a sensible place after the user presses newline.
- Smart tab: correct the indentation of the current line when pressing tab at start of a line.
Like their Java counterparts, these implementations rely on heuristics rather than a full parser, so they should work even when the document in the editor is not parsable. These implementations are brand new and we are looking forward to getting your feedback on how to make them work better and polish them up.
Besides these "on-line" algorithms that get invoked while typing and pasting. The Groovy editor also provides an "off-line" formatter that can be invoked explicitly by pressing CTRL-I or CTRL-SHIFT-F. Numerous bugfixes and small improvements have been made to the of-line Groovy formatter and indentor as well.
The Groovy editor now properly recognizes JavaDoc in Groovy code. This means you will now have the same support for highlighting and editing JavaDoc as in the Java editor.

would be nice to have a video here
Better AST Transform support
In previous versions of Groovy-Eclipse, AST Transforms would often mangle source code and source locations to the extent that the Groovy Editor could no longer find the lexical location of Groovy code elements. We have solved this problem in 2.0.2.
What's next?
You can find more details on the Groovy-Eclipse Roadmap, where you can comment on proposed features and see our release schedule. More specifically, we are scheduled to release Groovy-Eclipse 2.1.0 in mid-September.
We appreciate all the community support and feedback we have had through the version 2.0.2 development cycle. If you wish to join the discussion about Groovy-Eclipse then please sign up for the mailing list. For any issues you have (or enhancements you'd like to see), please raise them in our issue tracker.

In this Article
Is intussusception an urgent problem?
Intussusception is an emergency and requires immediate attention
Who is at greatest risk for intussusception?
Most cases of intussusception occur in children between 5 months and 1 year of age. Boys develop the condition two times more often than girls. Intussusception can also occur in adults and older children, although it is uncommon.
What causes intussusception?
The causes of intussusception are not fully known. Most cases in young children are idiopathic, (meaning the cause is unknown), although some viral and bacterial infections of the intestine may possibly contribute to intussusception in infancy.
Intussusception is very rare in older children and adults. In this population, the causes are believed to be due to polyps or tumors, which are often referred to as the "lead point" of the intussusception.
Why is rapid diagnosis of intussusception important?
Early diagnosis and treatment of intussusception is essential in order to prevent injury to the intestine and the associated sequelae, including surgical removal of the bowel, sepsis, and even death.

Duane Vermeulen is out of the June Tests.
Stormers strong man Duane Vermeulen returned home from the Stormers Super Rugby tour because of injury and conservatively won't play again until July. It could be that he is out for the remainder of the Super Rugby season as well because of knee ligament damage.
Stormers loose-forward Rynhardt Elstadt is also out for at least six weeks as the Cape-based franchise's season went from bad to worse in Sydney.
Vermeulen, Meyer's first choice No 8, will be nursed back to action for the Rugby Championship in August.
His injury means a likely Bok start for Bulls No 8 Pierre Spies, who in 2012 lost international ground to Vermeulen.
Meyer also rates Sharks No 8 Ryan Kankowski but the Durban-based player has been dropped and hasn't played in the last month.

Chronic hepatitis that does not focus on biliary structures is more common in dogs than cats. Several breeds are predisposed, including Bedlington Terriers, Labrador Retrievers, Cocker Spaniels, Doberman Pinschers, Skye Terriers, Standard Poodles, and West Highland White Terriers. Although there is an identifiable etiology for some categories of chronic hepatitis, in most cases the cause remains unidentified. Increased hepatocellular copper and Kupffer cell iron stores are common in dogs with chronic hepatitis. The degree of metal accumulation and its acinar location can assist in determining whether it plays a causal role in the disease process or is secondary to the hepatic injury.
Other associated conditions include infectious canine hepatitis, chronic hepatitis secondary to infectious processes, and chronic exposure to xenobiotics (including certain drugs, biologic toxins, and chemicals). Terminology that reflects specific etiology or breed predilection, such as drug-associated chronic hepatitis, infectious chronic hepatitis, copper-associated hepatitis, etc, is preferred. The term idiopathic chronic hepatitis specifies that an etiology has not been determined.
Histopathologic changes are generally similar in all cases of chronic hepatitis, regardless of the underlying cause, and include a lymphocytic-plasmacytic inflammation with infiltrates extending into hepatic parenchyma, variable single cell or piecemeal necrosis, and in advanced disease, development of bridging fibrosis and nodular regeneration.
Copper associated hepatopathy is best characterized in Bedlington Terriers. The condition is caused by an autosomal recessive mutation, and careful breeding programs guided by liver biopsy and genetic testing have remarkably reduced its frequency. Failure to excrete copper through the biliary system leads to chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. Affected dogs develop high liver copper concentrations by 1 yr of age (normal: <400 μg/g dry liver or 400 ppm). Hepatic copper concentrations increase progressively during the first 6 yr of life, reaching levels as high as 12,000 ppm. Hepatitis is overtly associated with copper concentrations >2,000 ppm.
Three phases of disease have been characterized. Acute hepatic necrosis is characterized in Bedlington Terriers <6 yr old with hepatomegaly, vomiting, lethargy, anorexia, jaundice, copper-associated hemolytic anemia, and hemoglobinuria. Copper-associated hemolytic anemia is only seen concurrent with massive hepatic necrosis (release of large amounts of copper into the systemic circulation). Death usually within 48–72 hr of onset of clinical signs. Untreated survivors suffer recurrent bouts of critical illness induced by stress (eg, whelping). The second clinical presentation is chronic hepatitis with clinical features including chronic weight loss, HE, ascites, and jaundice. Some dogs develop an acquired Fanconi syndrome signaling renal tubular copper toxicity. The third presentation is recognized in young, clinically healthy dogs only showing increased liver enzyme activity (ALT) and increased hepatic copper concentrations on liver biopsy. This presentation may progress to acute hepatic necrosis or chronic hepatitis. Rarely, an affected dog may remain asymptomatic.
Genetic testing is recommended for selection of Bedlington Terrier breeding stock. However, definitive diagnosis of copper storage hepatopathy requires liver biopsy in adult dogs with qualitative copper stains reconciled with the quantitative copper measurements. Rarely, some Bedlington Terriers with apparent copper storage hepatopathy have a unique gene mutation not detected by the current genetic test.
Other purebred dogs also are occasionally diagnosed with an apparent primary copper hepatopathy (especially Labrador Retrievers, Doberman Pinschers, Dalmatians) possibly related to dietary copper supplementation. A genetic cause has not been identified in these breeds.
Treatment of copper storage hepatopathy requires chelation therapy, while concurrently limiting copper intake from dietary and water sources. Dietary copper should be restricted to 0.1 mg copper/100 kcal diet; water should contain not more than 0.1 ppm (0.1 ug copper/liter). Avoid domestically softened water passing through copper pipes which may carry a higher copper load during initial pipe flushing each day.
Administration of antioxidants is important, because copper induces liver damage through oxidative injury. Chelation therapy with d-penicillamine (15 mg/kg, PO, bid, given 30 min before feeding for ≥6 mo) is the gold standard of treatment. Thereafter, chronic therapy may be instituted by reducing the d-penicillamine dosage by half or giving the standard dose every other day. Concurrent administration of pyridoxine (25 mg/day) is advised because d-penicillamine has antipyridoxine (vitamin B6) effects. If d-penicillamine chelation is not tolerated, trientene hydrochloride can be used (5–7 mg/kg, PO, bid, 30 min before feeding) but caution is warranted because trientine has induced acute renal failure in dogs with severe copper storage hepatopathy.
An alternative approach for managing copper storage hepatopathy is to use daily oral zinc acetate supplementation to inhibit copper uptake from the GI tract. Justification of this treatment is to increase dietary options. Zinc therapy must not be given concurrent with chelation therapy, because efficacy of each treatment may be compromised. Information regarding longterm efficacy of zinc supplementation in severely affected dogs is limited. Oral zinc may not be well tolerated, commonly causing vomiting, nausea, and inappetence. If zinc therapy seems more suitable for chronic treatment in a specific dog, a loading phase of elemental zinc at 5–10 mg/kg per day is given in 2 divided doses, 30 min before meals. Plasma zinc concentrations are monitored to ensure that circulating zinc is not nearing toxic values (>800 ppm). After several months, the dosage can be reduced to 2–3 mg/kg/ per day divided bid.
Vitamin E (10 IU/kg/day, PO) and biologically available SAMe (20 mg/kg/day, PO on an empty stomach) are recommended antioxidants that also have anti-inflammatory effects. Vitamin C is contraindicated in copper storage hepatopathy because it may foster injurious transition metal effects.
After chelation therapy, it is essential to limit copper ingestion in both food and water lifelong. Adherence to a copper-restricted diet and water source may obviate the need for continual chelation or zinc therapy. Several commercial prescription diets formulated for dogs with hepatic insufficiency are comparatively copper restricted. These low-protein formulas can be supplemented with protein sources that are low in copper to raise the diet's protein content. Using these diets as the base for a home-prepared ration is preferable to using nonprescription formulations that contain a wide range of copper content.
Severe copper storage hepatopathy was reported in a small number of Dalmatians. Affected dogs were 2–10 yr old and typically were acutely ill. Clinical signs ranged from no abnormalities to jaundice, ascites, HE, and GI signs including progressive inappetence and vomiting (several weeks). Diagnostic features included variable leukocytosis, greater magnitudes of increased ALT and AST than AP, variable hyperbilirubinemia and hypoalbuminemia, and normal glucose and cholesterol concentrations. Renal glucosuria was observed in a few dogs consistent with proximal renal tubular injury (transient Fanconi's syndrome). Liver biopsy disclosed mixed neutrophilic lymphoplasmacytic inflammation and, in some cases, extensive tissue remodeling and necrosis. Tissue lesions were affiliated with diffuse copper retention. The severity of liver injury and advanced state of hepatic failure limited treatment options and survival.
While West Highland White Terriers have been shown to accumulate excessive hepatic copper stores, not all dogs with high hepatic copper concentrations develop hepatitis. Some dogs with severely increased hepatic copper concentrations die of old age without necroinflammatory liver lesions. While West Highland White Terriers with chronic hepatitis usually do have high tissue copper concentrations, they differ from Bedlington Terriers with copper storage hepatopathy in: 1) mode of inheritance has not been determined, 2) maximal copper accumulation occurs by 6 mo of age and may then decline, 3) overall hepatic copper concentrations are lower than in Bedlington Terriers, and 4) hemolytic anemia has not been reported.
Focal hepatitis is seen in early disease, when dogs are asymptomatic. Chronic hepatitis is associated with anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, and later ascites. Increased liver enzymes develop first with focal disease, followed by increased TSBA concentrations and hyperbilirubinemia. Histopathologic changes include multifocal necroinflammatory hepatitis, necrosis, and cirrhosis. Treatments target copper primarily if an association between inflammation and copper accumulation seems apparent. (For treatment recommendations, see Canine Chronic Hepatitis.)
Idiopathic chronic hepatitis is defined as chronic necroinflammatory self-perpetuating liver disease associated with a nonsuppurative inflammatory infiltrate. To qualify as idiopathic, an underlying cause should have been rigorously pursued yet none found. Autoimmune hepatitis is included in this classification. An antinuclear antibody test, endemic infectious disease titers or antigens, drug and toxin exposure, and dietary, environmental, and family history must all be investigated. Middle-aged to older adult dogs are more commonly affected; there is no breed or gender predilection.
Clinical features include variable extremes of anorexia, lethargy, weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, jaundice, PU/PD, and in severe or advanced disease, coagulopathies, ascites, and HE. Earliest laboratory findings are persistent or cyclic increases in activity of ALT, AST, AP, and GGT. With advancing disease, increased TSBA concentrations are followed by hyperbilirubinemia. Other findings may include a nonregenerative anemia, leukocytosis, and hyperglobulinemia. In late-stage disease, portal hypertension causes acquired portosystemic shunting and the associated laboratory markers of RBC microcytosis, hypocholesterolemia, hypoalbuminemia, prolonged APTT and/or PT, and ammonium biurate crystalluria. At this stage, signs of overt HE may be recognized. In early disease, liver size is normal and there may be no demonstrable ultrasonographic lesions. In late-stage disease, radiographs may demonstrate a small liver with nodular lesions detected on ultrasound examination.
Definitive diagnosis requires liver biopsy with histopathologic stains to detail inflammatory infiltrates, fibrosis and remodeling, and copper and iron accumulation. Chronic, sustained, unexplained increases in liver enzymes usually indicate liver biopsy. Biopsy specimens should be submitted for both aerobic and anaerobic cultures and quantification of copper, iron, and zinc. Copper stains must be reconciled with quantitative copper measurements. Liver biopsies must be large enough to detail at least 15 contiguous portal triads, and biopsies must be taken from several different liver lobes. Samples collected only from apparent "mass lesions" can lead to erroneous diagnoses.
Supportive care (nutritional, vitamin supplementation) and use of specific therapies to slow inflammation and fibroplasia, and to restore liver antioxidant status, are recommended. Antibiotics are initially prescribed empirically until results of histology and tissue cultures are available, and are continued based on culture results. Additional treatments include ursodeoxycholic acid (15–20 mg/kg, PO, divided bid, given with food), polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine as an antifibrotic (25–50 mg/kg, PO, with food), vitamin E (10 IU/kg, sid, with food), and SAMe (20–40 mg/kg, PO, on an empty stomach).
Immunosuppressive drugs are used only after careful consideration of infectious or toxic causes, when an active disease process has been characterized by liver biopsy. Prednisolone or prednisone are usually started at a dosage of 1–4 mg/kg, for 7–10 days, and titrated downward to a maintenance level of 0.5–1 mg/kg, given sid or on alternate days, depending on patient response. An additional immunomodulatory agent is also given to reduce the glucocorticoid dosage and adverse effects of each drug, and to achieve multimodal immunosuppression. Adverse effects of glucocorticoids in chronic hepatobiliary disease include sodium and water retention (which can exacerbate or promote ascites), catabolic effects (which can promote HE), GI ulceration and enteric bleeding (which can precipitate HE), pancreatitis, predisposition to secondary infections, glucose intolerance, and iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism and VH.
Azathioprine is most commonly used at a dosage of 1–2 mg/kg, sid for 3–5 days, then every other day. Beneficial effects may not be seen for up to 8 wk. Because azathioprine can cause bone marrow suppression and gastroenteric toxicity, frequent follow-up assessments are imperative. If azathioprine causes acute bone marrow suppression, treatment is discontinued and restarted after recovery with a 25–50% reduction in dosage. If bone marrow toxicity is identified only after chronic administration, azathioprine should be permanently discontinued. Pancreatitis and idiopathic hepatotoxicity are rare adverse effects that mandate drug discontinuation. Mycophenolate mofetil can be used in dogs that cannot tolerate azathioprine. Recommended dosing is 10–20 mg/kg, PO, bid for 7–10 days, then sid, followed by dosage titration based on patient response. Discontinuation of immunosuppressive therapy is not recommended in dogs with chronic hepatitis.
Complete remission is difficult to evaluate clinically; a follow-up biopsy may be required. Prognosis is widely variable. Some dogs live ≥5 yr after initial diagnosis. Dogs with ascites require dietary sodium restriction and treatment with furosemide and spironolactone (see Portal Hypertension and Ascites in Small Animals). Dogs with HE require dietary protein modification and may benefit from lactulose and administration of low dose metronidazole.
If immune-mediated hepatitis is considered the definitive diagnosis, careful consideration should be given before administration of routine vaccinations. Nonspecific immune stimulation may adversely stimulate hepatitis and cause disease flare.
This popular breed is predisposed to chronic hepatitis. Clinical features at diagnosis (in order of highest frequency) include jaundice, inappetence, vomiting, lethargy, and weight loss, with some dogs demonstrating abdominal discomfort, PU/PD, or no signs relevant to hepatitis. Common laboratory features include a normal PCV, leukocytosis, increased ALT (10-fold), increased AP (5-fold), modest or no increases in AST and GGT, increased bilirubin, prolonged APTT, and transient glucosuria. Ultrasonographic imaging usually demonstrates hypoechoic and hyperechoic parenchymal nodules, subjective microhepatica, and less frequently, irregular liver margins and ascites. In some dogs, diffuse hepatocellular copper retention is seen, associated with severe diffuse inflammation.
Treatment is based on liver biopsy interpretation (routine and copper specific stains), and quantification of tissue copper concentrations. Copper chelation and restricted copper intake (food and water) establishes complete remission in dogs lacking a prominent nonsuppurative inflammatory reaction but that have substantial hepatic copper concentrations (>800 μg/g dry weight tissue). Response to treatment is rapid and dramatic if diagnosed early but requires lifelong management of copper-associated hepatopathy (see Copper-associated Hepatopathy). Labrador Retrievers that have a chronic nonsuppurative immune-mediated hepatitis not associated with copper retention are treated lifelong as for idiopathic chronic hepatitis (see above). Response to treatment can be dramatic and is especially effective when diagnosis is early in the disease process.
An idiopathic chronic hepatitis has been reported in Doberman Pinschers. Middle-aged adult female dogs may be predisposed. Copper retention appears to play a role in some dogs and may reflect decreased biliary excretion secondary to disease-induced cholestasis rather than a primary disorder. An immune-mediated nonsuppurative hepatitis also has been characterized.
In dogs with advanced disease, clinical features include cyclic illness involving anorexia, weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, PU/PD, jaundice, coagulopathies (melena, epistaxis), splenomegaly, microhepatica, ascites, and HE. Laboratory features may include a nonregenerative anemia, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, increased AP and ALT activity, hyperbilirubinemia, hypoalbuminemia, prolonged APTT, and a pure or modified transudative abdominal effusion. Ultrasonography may identify nodular lesions in the liver.
Liver biopsy is necessary for definitive diagnosis; some dogs have only an apparent nonsuppurative immune-mediated hepatitis while others have pathologic copper retention with affiliated liver injury.
Treatment in dogs with immune-mediated nonsuppurative hepatitis includes immunomodulation with prednisone (1–2 mg/kg/day for several weeks, slowly titrated to 0.5 mg/kg/day and if possible, to every other day) and antioxidants, with or without azathioprine. In dogs with developing fibrosis, polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine is also recommended (25–50 mg/kg, PO, with food). Nutritional support depends on the presence of HE and the need for copper restriction. Prognosis is poor for dogs diagnosed with advanced nonsuppurative hepatitis. Dogs diagnosed early can achieve remission for several years. Prognosis for dogs with apparent copper associated hepatopathy can be good if diagnosed early in the disease process.
Chronic hepatitis in Cocker Spaniels is associated with a degenerative vacuolar hepatopathy associated with interface nonsuppurative inflammation. Advanced disease is associated with marked biliary hyperplasia and bridging fibrosis. Common clinical features include abrupt onset of anorexia, weight loss, lethargy, vomiting, variable diarrhea (with or without melena), jaundice, PU/PD, and HE. Baseline laboratory features include mild anemia; leukocytosis; increased ALT, AST, and AP activities; coagulopathy; low BUN; and in fewer dogs, hyperbilirubinemia. Nonjaundiced dogs have high TSBA concentrations. Abdominal effusion is a pure or modified transudate. Grossly, the liver is small and firm with numerous small and large regenerative nodules. Micronodular and macronodular cirrhosis and chronic periportal hepatitis have been characterized. Some dogs have moderate to abundant copper (on copper-specific staining), which is thought to represent copper retention secondary to cholestasis and hepatocellular injury. Positive immunohistochemical staining for α1-antitrypsin within vacuolated hepatocytes is commonly demo-nstrable. It is unclear if a specific genetic defect underlies this liver disorder.
Treatment is supportive and symptomatic using a balanced protocol as described for chronic hepatitis. Early glucocorticoid immunomodulation (before the diagnosis of liver disease, glucocorticoids prescribed for ear or skin disorders) has seemingly prolonged survival in affected dogs. However, in dogs with hypoalbuminemia or ascites, glucocorticoids are poorly tolerated and may cause melena, ascites, HE, etc. If a glucocorticoid trial is undertaken, dexamethasone should be used instead of prednisone to avoid mineralocorticoid affects. Ursodeoxycholic acid, vitamin E, SAMe, polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholine, and individually tailored nutritional support are recommended. A permanent urethrostomy may be necessary in male dogs that develop ammonium biurate calculi. Successful treatment of severely affected dogs has been possible for several years. Need for copper retention treatment is based on specific stains and copper quantification.
Three reports of hepatitis in Skye Terriers, one characterizing disease in 9 related dogs, described no age or gender predilection and clinical signs ranging from asymptomatic to end-stage liver failure at the time of initial diagnosis. Three separate stages of liver disease were described: mild inflammation with no evidence of cirrhosis or copper accumulation to advanced macronodular cirrhosis, cholestasis, and marked copper accumulation.
