<FlashCard questions="6">
|q1= What is the molecular basis of PSS and how is it caused?
|a1=
*A defective ryanodine receptor
*Autosomal recessive genetic trait
|l1= Porcine Stress Syndrome#Introduction
|q2= Which drug can induce PSS?
|a2= Halothane anaesthetic
|l2= Porcine Stress Syndrome#Introduction
|q3= Why is the trait common?
|a3= Animals with the trait have well developed musculature and larger carcass weights so have favourable breeding characteristics.
|l3= Porcine Stress Syndrome#Signalment
|q4= What are the early signs that a pig may be susceptible to PSS?
|a4= Tail tremors and fine fasciculations
|l4= Porcine Stress Syndrome#Clinical Signs
|q5=What are the more advanced clinical signs of PSS?
|a5=
*Raised rectal temperature
*Panting/dyspnoea
*Hyperhidrosis
*Tachycardia
*Trembling
*Hypertonicity
*Lameness
*Cyanosis
*Blotchy, red skin
|l5= Porcine Stress Syndrome#Clinical Signs
|q6= What pathognomic sign is seen in dead pigs?
|a6= Rapid onset of rigor mortis and development of soft, pale, watery musculature within 15-30 minutes of death.
|l6= Porcine Stress Syndrome#Diagnosis
|q7= What test can be used to detect heterozygous animals?
|a7= DNA PCR
|l7= Porcine Stress Syndrome#Diagnosis
|q8= How can the signs be reversed if they are advanced?
|a8= Using dantrolene sodium
|l8= Porcine Stress Syndrome#Treatment
