Machine learning algorithms predict canine structural epilepsy with high accuracy.

Introduction: Clinical reasoning in veterinary medicine is often based on clinicians' personal experience in combination with information derived from publications describing cohorts of patients. Studies on the use of scientific methods for patient individual decision making are largely lacking. This applies to the prediction of the individual underlying pathology in seizuring dogs as well.

Client's understanding of instructions for small animals in a veterinary neurological referral center.

Background: It is not known how much information clients retrieve from discharge instructions.

Objective: To investigate client's understanding of discharge instructions and influencing factors.

Animals: Dogs and cats being hospitalized for neurological diseases.

Clinical Signs in 166 Beagles with Different Genotypes of Lafora.

Lafora disease (LD) is a genetic disease affecting beagles, resulting in seizures in combination with other signs. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical signs of LD in beagles with different NHLRC1 genotypes. One hundred and sixty-six beagles were tested for an NHLRC1 gene defect: L/L ( = 67), N/L ( = 32), N/N ( = 67).

Biopsy Characteristics, Subtypes, and Prognostic Features in 107 Cases of Feline Presumed Immune-Mediated Polyneuropathy.

Inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy (IMPN) is one of the causes of sudden onset of neuromuscular signs such as para-/tetraparesis in young cats. Even though most cases have a favorable outcome, persistent deficits, relapses, and progressive courses are occasionally seen. As clinical presentation does not always appear to predict outcome and risk of recurrence, this study was initiated to screen for prognostic biopsy findings in a large cohort of histologically confirmed IMPN cases with clinical follow-up.

A retrospective case series of clinical signs in 28 Beagles with Lafora disease.

Background: Clinical signs and their progression in Beagles with Lafora disease are poorly described.

Objectives: To describe clinical signs in Beagles with Lafora disease.

Animals: Twenty-eight Beagles with Lafora disease confirmed by genetic testing or histopathology.
