 Genetics 101 - Hereditary problems of the Havanese breed
HIP DISPLAYSIA Canine Hip dysplasia is joint malformation that occurs when the ball and socket are misaligned, loosely fitted, or misshapen often leading to arthritic changes, pain and limited mobility.
Hip dysplasia is an inherited condition and diagnosis before breeding should be a priority to keep breeding stock healthy and limit the occurrence of the disease in offspring.
This condition is a hip malformation occurring mainly in small breeds in which the head of the femur (thigh bone) deteriorates and dies as a result of insufficient blood supply.

BETHESDA, MD -- September 25, 2002 -- Depressed patients who undergo heart transplantation because of a certain type of heart disease are about five times as likely to die in the first few years after surgery as similar patients who are not depressed, according to a new study.
The association between depression and death was only seen among patients with heart failure due to coronary heart disease, or ischemic cardiomyopathy, and not in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, an enlarging of the heart caused by genetic, viral, immune or sometimes unknown factors.
The level of depression, as measured before surgery, was a significant predictor of post-operative survival in ischemic disease.
