Flora and Vegetation of the Meadow River Wetlands, Greenbrier County, West Virginia

The Meadow River wetlands comprise the second largest wetland complex within the state of West Virginia, containing approximately 3131 acres (1392 ha) of swamp and wet meadow (Evans et al. 1982). Plant collecting within this complex as determined by available literature and herbarium specimens has been limited in the past and apparently dealt only with the wetlands near the head of Otter Creek. Grafton et al. (1982) conducted walk-through surveys in conjunction with a statewide wetland survey and the West Virginia Department of Highways performed a rather detailed vegetation analysis in the same area as part of an environmental impact statement prior to construction of Interstate 64. The present research is two fold, first to provide a checklist of the vascular plants of the entire wetland complex and second, to provide a vegetative analysis of six selected seep-springs within the complex. Quantitative studies were limited to these spring seeps because these areas were relatively undisturbed. Bryophytes were included in the seep-spring studies because of their abundance in the springs

OCURRENCIA DE HETERAKIS GALLINARUM (SCHRANK, 1788) (NEMATODA: HETERAKIDAE) EN GALLUS GALLUS DOMESTICUS LINNAEUS, 1758 EN VITORIA, ESPIRITO SANTO, BRASIL

Heterakis Dujardin, 1845 es un nemátodo que parasita las aves y presenta distribución cosmopolita. En Brasil, se registran 14 especies que ocurren en diferentes especies domesticadas y silvestres. Entre las especies reportadas, Heterakis gallinarum (Schrank, 1788) representa una amenaza potencial para los criaderos comerciales ya que es un vector de Histomonas meleagridis Smith, 1895, protozoario Trichomonadida que causa histomoniasis en las aves, una infección grave que puede ser letal y causar pérdidas económicas catastróficas. El presente estudio regsitra la ocurrencia de H. gallinarum en el ciego de pollos de corral (Gallus gallus domesticus Linnaeus, 1758) vendidos en un gran centro comercial de Vitoria, Espirito Santo, Brasil. En este estudio se describen e ilustran los tres ejemplares machos y tres hembras encontrados

Immediate Return to Ambulation and Improved Functional Capacity for Rehabilition in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome following Early Implantation of a Spinal Cord Stimulation System

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a neuropathic pain condition that is characterized by vasomotor, sensory, sudomotor, and motor symptoms. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been successfully utilized for the treatment of pain refractory to conventional therapies. We present a case of a previously highly functioning 54-year-old female who developed a rarely reported case of idiopathic CRPS of the right ankle which spontaneously occurred four months after an uncomplicated anterior cervical disc fusion. This condition resulted in severe pain and functional impairment that was unresponsive to pharmacological management. The patient\u27s rehabilitation was severely stymied by her excruciating pain. However, with the initiation of spinal cord stimulation, her pain was adequately controlled allowing for progression to full unassisted ambulation, advancing functional capacity, and improving quality of life. This case report supports the concept that rapid progression to neuromodulation, rather than delays that occur due to attempts at serial sympathetic blocks, may better control symptoms leading allowing for a more meaningful recover
