hyperphagia/atrophy

The case of a 4 month old Irish setter bitch is reported in the present paper, which showed a recurrent diarrhoea, polyphagia from the purchase of the dog at the age of two months. The dog was severely emaciated and treatment with Pancreon was not followed by any improvement. The total information

OBJECTIVE To investigate long-term outcomes and owner-perceived quality of life associated with sudden acquired retinal degeneration syndrome (SARDS) in dogs. METHODS Survey study. METHODS 100 dogs with SARDS examined at 5 academic veterinary institutions from 2005 to 2010. METHODS The diagnosis was

BACKGROUND Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is an uncommon degenerative dementia that presents with focal cognitive and behavioral deficits. OBJECTIVE To determine the correlation of the different presentations of FTLD with structural neuroimaging findings. METHODS In a blinded study, we

This study examined patterns and associates of excessive eating (hyperphagia) in a community-based registry of patients with dementia. From patients enrolled in the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer's Disease Patient Registry (n = 439), 39 were identified with excessive eating reported on the Behavior Symptom

Mutations in the MBOAT7 gene have been described in 43 patients, belonging to 18 families, showing nonspecific clinical features (intellectual disability [ID], seizures, microcephaly or macrocephaly, and mild to moderate cerebellar atrophy) that make the clinical diagnosis difficult. Here we report

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical, radiographic, and neuropathologic features of bilateral thalamic glioma. METHODS We searched our hospital records (1963 to present) to identify patients diagnosed as having the disease. RESULTS Our search revealed eight patients, ranging in age from 8-63 years,

Previous reports of true pancreatic cysts in cats have suggested that pancreatic cysts in cats are benign incidental findings. This case report describes the progressive clinical course and diagnostic findings in a cat with multiple recurrent pancreatic cysts. The presenting clinical signs included

Sudden acquired retinal degeneration syndrome (SARDS) is one of the leading causes of currently incurable canine vision loss diagnosed by veterinary ophthalmologists. The disease is characterized by acute onset of blindness due to loss of photoreceptor function, extinguished electroretinogram with

This study reviewed clinical data from dogs diagnosed with sudden acquired retinal degeneration syndrome (SARDS) in western Canada. Medical records from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine from 2002 to 2016 showed that 93 cases of SARDS were diagnosed based on presentation for sudden

Patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) present a profound personality change, social misconduct, overeating, and stereotyped behavior. We examined the hypothesis that many of the behavioral symptoms of FTLD will respond to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Sixteen FTLD

The hippocampus is a key structure implicated in food motivation and intake. Research has shown that the hippocampus is vulnerable to the consumption of a western diet (i.e., high saturated fat and simple carbohydrates). Studies of patients with obesity (OB), compared with healthy weight (HW), show

Previous studies have shown that lesions of the posterodorsal amygdala result in hyperphagia and obesity in female rats. In the present study, lesions of the stria terminalis at its most dorsal point (before it separates into dorsal and ventral components) also resulted in hyperphagia and excessive

Energy balance studies suggest that the overall efficiency of energy utilization does not increase during pregnancy in rodents, other than as a consequence of "hyperphagia". Diet-induced thermogenesis is not stimulated in response to the increased energy intake of the pregnant animal, the extra
