	Pannus in the GSD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Pannus, also referred to as chronic superficial keratitis, is a chronic inflammation of the cornea and sometimes the third eyelid of both eyes.
		Pannus, or chronic superficial keratitis, is a condition of ongoing inflammation of the cornea (the surface of the eye).
		Pannus is a progressive, non painful, inflammatory disease of the cornea, conjunctiva, and sometimes the third eyelids (when affecting the third eyelid, it is termed "atypical pannus" or "plasmoma").

	Pannus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pannus is a medical term for a hanging flap of skin.
		Pannus may also develop in diseases of the corneal stem cells, such as aniridia.
		Similarly, in veterinary medicine pannus means a chronic inflammation in the cornea of dogs.

		Pannus is a term used to describe a syndrome that causes a "fleshy" type of tissue to accumulate in and on the surface of the eye, the cornea.
		The cause of pannus is unknown but certain risk factors, namely, ultraviolet light, altitude, and breed are thought to be involved.
		Control is the key word with this potentially blinding disease since most patients with pannus MUST continue with some frequency of topical medications for the remainder of their lives.

	Pannus - Corneal Inflammation in the German Shepherd Dog
		German Shepherd Dog Keratitis [pannus], medical name: keratitis superficialis vasulosa pannosa pigmentosa chronica, is a chronic inflammation of the corneal surface and, in most cases, of the conjunctiva of the eye.
		The predominant exogenic factor is ascribed to ultraviolet rays in sunlight as the trigger of pannus which explains the increased incidence of the disease during sunny months.
		Because pannus generally occurs bilaterally, sooner or later a complete loss of sight must be expected.

	pannus
		Chronic Superficial Keratitis (Pannus) is a disease seen most commonly in the German Shepherd, but does occur in other breeds.
		Today, Pannus is diagnosed world wide, however it is well recognized that cases of pannus are more severe and harder to treat in areas of higher elevation, supporting the UV radiation theory.
		Since Pannus is an immune mediated disease, it is managed by treatment but not cured.

	Pannus
		Pannus, or chronic superficial keratitis, is a slow progressive degenerative disease of the dog's cornea.
		Pannus leads to brown or pink tissue ingrowth, blood vessel ingrowth and scarring.
		If the pannus is severe, cortisone may be administered by injections under the white of the eye.

		Pannus is also called German Shepherd Pannus, but other breeds will also develop the same eye changes (these breeds include Collie, Poodle, Dachshund, Greyhound, mixed breeds).
		Pannus is a disorder that affects the cornea of the eye.
		The most frustrating aspect of Pannus is that I see far too many cases when they have been on steroids and cyclosporine for years and the eyes are now a mess.

	Pannus (Chronic Superficial Keratitis)
		Pannus is a disease that is controllable, but not usually cured.
		For severe cases of pannus that are refractory to the usual treatments, radiation therapy with beta-irradiation may be considered.
		Pannus is typically not preventable, but controlling certain environmental factors can help in the control of the disease.

	Pannus - Animal Eye Care
		Pannus is an immune mediated corneal disease primarily found in the German Shepard breed although other predisposed breeds include Greyhounds, Huskies, and Dachshunds.
		The cause of Pannus is not well understood, but several factors are involved: The breed incidence suggests a heritable predisposition.
		When medication alone fails to control Pannus, then surgical and radiation treatment is recommended, but these therapies are rarely used.

	Pannus
		Tsukimoon, as hodie said, there are still no definitives when it comes to the heritability of pannus, so I don't know if a court would be willing to consider it to be an inherited illness WRT your contract.
		It does occur in younger dogs, however, and it is my personal opinion that dogs which are affected while young should not be used for breeding, and the pairing that created the affected dog should not be repeated in an effort to limit the severity of the disorder within the breed.
		Pannus is also thought to be brought on my infection and/or injury.

	Pannus Information
		I'd never heard of pannus before it was mentioned on Greyhound-L, but armed with that information, I could look it up in "Care of the Racing Greyhound." The description there made me pretty sure what we were facing really was pannus.
		The vet warned me that ultraviolet light affects pannus, so the condition will likely worsen in the summertime when the sunshine is stronger, and that we should take care keep Comet from being in bright sunlight for extended periods of time.
		A specific chronic superficial keratitis (Uberreiter's disease, pannus) is a bilateral, progressive, proliferative, superficial keratitis that begins laterally at the limbus and eventually extends from all quadrants to cover the cornea.

		A large pannus creates a vicious cycle of lymphatic and venous congestion leading to further ischemia and lymphedema, ultimately resulting in celluitis, abcess formation, and infarction.

	PROVET HEALTHCARE INFORMATION - Chronic superficial keratitis (Pannus)
		Unknown but it is thought to be an autoimmune disease in which the animals own immune system reacts against something in the surface of the eye (the cornea) causing inflammation.
		Pannus is most often seen in German Shepherd Dogs, but it also occurs in Greyhounds and Border Collies, as well as crossbred offspring derived from these breeds.
		If the cornea becomes heavily pigmented the area may have to be removed by superficial keratectomy to restore sight.

		It is a genetic problem and because Alaskans are a "mixture" of breeds it has come from some of greyhounds and other breeds.

		Pannus is a sheet of invasive cellular tissue that is continuous with the synovial lining.
		Hyperplastic synovium and pannus produce several enzymes that are capable of degrading components of bone and cartilage.
		One important group of enzymes is the matrix metalloproteinases, which are secreted from synoviocytes and chondroblasts in response to cytokines.

		Forty rats underwent unilateral immobilization of a knee joint with an internal fixator for periods of 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 weeks.
		We standardized the quantification of intraarticular pannus in a joint contracture model after immobility of up to 32 weeks' duration.
		The decrease in synovial intima length with immobility suggests that adhesions of synovium villi rather than pannus proliferation are the major pathophysiological changes leading to contracture after immobility.
