tremor/necrosis

A 10-year-old, spayed female Weimaraner was referred for an acute onset of generalized tremors, seizures, and obtundation. Neurological examination revealed severe obtundation and a right-sided menace response deficit. Neuroanatomical diagnosis was consistent with a left prosencephalic lesion. The

A 7-year-old dog was accidentally given 10 times the recommended dose of imidocarb dipropionate for suspected babesiosis. Twenty-four hours later, the dog developed severe depression, tachycardia with premature ventricular contractions, cyanosis and hind limb tremors. Shortly thereafter, the dog

It was noticed that monotonous diet which imitated the composition of diet for the susceptible population of Keshan disease with a habit of food preference was prominently low in calcium and selenium. The plasma calcium ion content of rats kept on a monotonous diet was significantly lowered to

The recently described atypical porcine pestivirus (APPV) has been associated with congenital tremor (CT) type A-II in piglets in different countries. Another important neurological pathogen of pigs is porcine teschovirus (PTV), which has been associated with non-suppurative encephalomyelitis in

A 5-year-old sexually intact male Toulouse goose ( Anser anser domesticus) was presented for ataxia, polyuria, and polydipsia. The goose was cachectic and exhibited head tremors. Results of plasma biochemical analysis and point-of-care glucometry revealed persistent hyperglycemia. Despite supportive

BACKGROUND Cortical laminar necrosis is characterized by destruction of the cerebral cortex, mainly of the third layer, in situations of reduced energy supply to the brain. The cerebral lesions caused are known through studies made at autopsies, but there are few descriptions in the literature of

Active caspase-3-mediated apoptosis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of harmaline-induced tremor. The aim of this study is to illustrate the impact of tremor induction on the expression of factors mediating the cell surface death receptor-dependent apoptosis. A total of 20 normal Wistar rats

A previously neurodevelopmentally intact 5-year-old male was admitted to hospital with a right lower lobe pneumonia with pleural effusion, subsequently confirmed to be a Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. On the seventh day of the illness he had a prolonged generalized tonic or tonic-clonic

Symptomatic palatal tremor (SPT) is the result of a structural lesion, in the form of stroke, trauma or demyelinating disease. SPT is due to contractions of the levator veli palatini and can be accompanied by simultaneous movements of the facial and ocular muscles. Facial myokymia (FM) is a

In the periphery, exercise induces interleukin (IL)-6 to downregulate tumor necrosis factor (TNF), elevate interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA), decreasing inflammation. Exercise also offers neuroprotection and facilitates brain repair. IL-6 production in the hippocampus following exercise

Several parameters representing the clinical diversity of Parkinson's disease (PD), including severity, phenotypes, cognitive decline, anxiety and depression were analyzed to examine the link with interleukin-1β (IL-1β), the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA), IL-6, IL-10, and tumor necrosis

The effects of BK agonists and antagonists, and other hyperalgesic/antihyperalgesic drugs were measured (3 h after injection of hyperalgesic drugs) in a model of mechanical hyperalgesia (the end-point of which was indicated by a brief apnoea, the retraction of the head and forepaws, and muscular

Ackee (Blighia sapida) is a commonly eaten fruit that is indigenous to West Africa and Jamaica. Ackee poisoning in young children have been reported in parts of Nigeria due to consumption of the unripe fruits. This study was designed to identify potential mechanisms of acute and sub-acute
