tremor/diarrhea

Congenital tremor in pigs involves several etiologies, including pestivirus, which may cause neurological injuries in different animal species. To evaluate whether bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), an important pestivirus, is one of the etiological agents of congenital tremor in swine, gilts and

A cohort of manic-depressive patients given prophylactic lithium treatment were examined before treatment started and at intervals during treatment for up to 7 years. The mean lithium dosage was 23.2 mmol/d and the mean serum lithium concentration 0.68 mmol/l. About 40% of the patients were entirely

BACKGROUND Patients with pineal lesions typically present with the classical signs of increased intracranial pressure (headache, nausea, vomiting) and/or Parinaud's syndrome. Rare symptomatology of secondary parkinsonism attributed to pineal lesions has been previously reported in the literature. We

A newborn Longhorn heifer calf presented with generalized tremors, muscle fasciculations, ataxia, and nystagmus. At necropsy, no gross central nervous system lesions were observed. Histologically, the brain and spinal cord had mild to moderate diffuse microgliosis and astrocytosis, minimal

A 50-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of severe diarrhea, irritableness, and severe pitting edema of the legs. The patient had been well until 5 years before admission, when a tremor and tachycardia developed and a diagnosis of Graves' disease was made. Treatment with methimazole

BACKGROUND We have previously reported the association of gastrointestinal and hypoglycemic symptoms, with idiopathic accelerated gastric emptying. We now report the first series of six similar cases. METHODS Patient 1: A 24-year-old Caucasian man presented to our facility with a six-month history

Effect of 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylserine (DOPS), a norepinephrine precurosr, on harmaline tremor was investigated in mice to elucidate the role of norepinephrine in the genesis of tremor. 1) Spontaneous motor activity was inhibited by L-threo-DOPS (200 mg/kg i.p.). 2) Tremor induced by harmaline (5 and

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) was isolated from buffy coat cells of a 10-day-old calf with signs of cerebellar disease--ataxia, hypermetria, and intention head tremor. The tentative diagnosis was BVDV-induced cerebellar hypoplasia. At necropsy, gross lesions were not identified. Histologic

Because of the claim that ibogaine suppresses the symptoms of "narcotic withdrawal" in humans, the effect of ibogaine on naltrexone-precipitated withdrawal signs in morphine-dependent rats was assessed. Morphine was administered subcutaneously through implanted silicone reservoirs for 5 days.

We report a 53-year-old woman with probable Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome. Her parents were a consanguineous marriage. At two years of age, she developed night blindness. During her childhood she had severe diarrhea that disappeared in adulthood. At 26 years of age, she was diagnosed as having retinitis

A 4-year-old boy presented with a history of tremor for 7 days. He also had recurrent diarrhea for the previous 1 year, and poor weight gain. Magnetic resonance of the brain was suggestive of central pontine myelinolysis. There was no evidence of electrolyte abnormalities. The serum tissue

There is no awareness about celiac disease (CD) in Mexico. A 2.9 year old mestizo boy was admitted to a Mexican hospital with muscle cramps and fine tremors. He suffered chronic diarrhea, abdominal distention, hypotrophic limbs, stunting and wasting, and presented hypocalcemia, anemia and high

OBJECTIVE The pharmacological therapy for essential tremor (ET) is inadequate, and many patients resort to surgical procedures. Zonisamide is an antiepileptic with several potential mechanisms of action. METHODS We evaluated zonisamide for ET in an open-label pilot trial. The primary efficacy point

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare autosomal recessive neurometabolic disorder characterized by chronic diarrhea, tendon xanthomas, juvenile cataracts, and neurological symptoms. An adult patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis exhibited ataxia and palatal tremor in the absence of tendon

Twenty-six cases of accidental 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) ingestions by dogs were reviewed from phone calls to the Illinois Animal Poison Information Center. Cases were collected from January 1, 1987 to December 31, 1988. Of the 26 calls involving 5-FU exposures, 12 were classified as "toxicosis," 13 as
