Seven related Quarter Horse foals that died by 7 weeks of age were examined for glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) deficiency. Clinical signs varied from stillbirth, transient flexural limb deformities, seizures, and respiratory or cardiac failure to persistent recumbency. Leukopenia (5 of 5 foals) as
80 patients (P) (68 men and twelve women) with the diagnosis of delirium tremens were retrospectively analyzed and reexamined over a period of ten years (1974 to 1984). Included were only patients who--after failure of oral medication--required intravenous therapy with Chlomethiazol and thereby
The anticonvulsant activity and safety of imepitoin, a novel antiepileptic drug licensed in the European Union, were evaluated in a multicentre field efficacy study as well as in a safety study under laboratory conditions. Efficacy of imepitoin was compared with phenobarbital in 226 client-owned
Bilateral renal dysplasia and nephron hypoplasia was diagnosed in a Quarter Horse foal with clinical signs of lethargy, convulsions, and diarrhea. Laboratory evaluation revealed anemia, hypoproteinemia, leukopenia, hyponatremia, hypochloremia, and hyposmolality. The foal also had high concentrations
OBJECTIVE
To investigate effects of phenobarbitone on serum activities of alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transferase and concentrations of bilirubin, albumin, cholesterol and total protein in dogs.
METHODS
Ten crossbreed experimental dogs and 10 client-owned dogs
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study described here was to investigate the efficacy, tolerability, and side effects of oxcarbazepine (OXC) monotherapy in newly diagnosed, previously untreated adult and elderly patients with partial epilepsy.
METHODS
We prospectively analyzed and recorded the efficacy,
Antidepressants are the most commonly prescribed drugs for psychiatric treatment, and venlafaxine (VEN) is one of the most popular options. Venlafaxine is a nontricyclic dual-acting serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Although an increased incidence of acute toxicity and addiction has been
We present a rare case of galactosemia identified by a positive screening test. A 20-day-old female infant was admitted with jaundice and bloody stained diarrhea. There was no history of fever, convulsions, abdominal distention, or bleeding from other sites. Laboratory findings indicated elevated
The effects of two mixtures, ketamine-xylazine and ketamine-medetomidine, were compared in anesthesia of African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) in the Zoo park at Dvůr Králové; the effects of these combinations were also investigated on the triad values and on the basic hematological (red blood counts,
Serum amino acid (AA) profiles are altered in epilepsy. It is not clear whether this is due to the disease process itself or to other variables such as seizure type, seizure frequency, duration of illness, medication, or altered liver function. We investigated serum AA profiles and liver enzymes in
We have proposed that glutamine serves in a facilitated diffusion process, mediated by the enzyme gamma-glutamyl transferase (gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase; gamma GT) and that it leaves the brain in exchange for entering amino acids. Glutamine is also a precursor of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
BACKGROUND
The polyunsaturated, ω-3 fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), claims diverse cytoprotective potentials, although via largely undefined triggers. Thus, we currently first tested the ability of DHA to ameliorate valproate (VPA)-evoked hepatotoxicity, to modulate its anticonvulsant
